your pet will still be where he died, need to go back to the area he died in then can rez him, or zone out of the area then the pet is automaticly with you.

no its not listed, but if you head back to where you died and hold in the left ALT key, you will see a grey name saying something like "Corpse of Moa Bird"

Also if you get back to the area near your corpse, you can click on the greyed name and hit the <space bar> to run to it.

or you can simply go back to where you started (town outpost) and when you go out adventuring again your pet will be alive and waiting for you a usual

saves tons of time hunting gor the body

hi, been having the same problems and as the mercenaries are only lvl3, i'd like my lvl 8 pet back... but the above pointers don't help.
FYI: i didn't die and neither did my pet, i just started a new game.
strangely enough, it appeared in one game - the next it was gone again!
if anyone has a sound solution, pls help!

'Charm Animal' must be in one of your eight skill slots.

the one that showed up when it shouldnt have was a glitch

pets are character and not account based

Interesting, I had assumed it was some bug where sometimes my pet would respawn with me when I rezoned, others he would not......

Another great tip the the game failed to put out there for the masses....so far I am loving the game. It's a fantastic secondary game with the whole no fee thing....but man horrid information on gameplay, how things work....ect..

When I'm playing my ranger, I go to the area where my pet died and keep hitting comfort animal till the spell no longer says Not in range. then your pet will revive and come running to you.
