Someone said they captured a spider, and theres rumers of other animals, Ah well.. Lately ive just been using a pet purely as a gimmick (when im just farting around)

[Ginko]

Thanks Synthos, I added the pets to the list. I do believe there is a spider pet named Black Widow, but I was unable to identify the region. Actually, now I remember, Cain has one, I'll ask him about it.

--Ginko

[d4nowar]

in pre-searing you can pick up a moss spider. haven't been there in awhile though.

[Mav]

Unless they changed it, Black Bears in Pre Searing are mobs not charm-able creatures. A normal pet creature won't attack unless you attack it first..

[Devil's Dictionary]

They are charmable creatures with the right skill combination. Pre-Sear wolves are hostile too yet perfectly charmable.
I have seen a non-hostile Black Bear in Lornar's Pass.

[Phaedrus]

Bears in pre-searing are charmable...you need a decent Beast Mastery attribute to stand a chance.

Elder Black Widows are in the Underworld.

There are warthogs in Maguuma and Kryta.

[Ginko]

I apologize for bumping such an old topic, but I've been quite the busy man lately. I edited all of these things and I'd just like to say thanks! :)

--Ginko

[S{R}Raptor]

You can charm a moss spider in pre-searing in the green hills country. When i got there instead of red, they were green meaning i could charm them. I still like my wolf though, much better looking and does a lot of damage and tanks for me.

[Defafnyr]

I know the bears are great with their maul skill, but I love my stalker. I named her Fluffy.

Seriously, I've been playing mmorpg's for 6 years now and always hated playing pet classes. I don't know what it is about this ranger I'm playing now and why she's different with her little kitty over all those other games and their pet classes that I didn't like, but I love this ranger and her Fluffy.

[Ginko]

Thanks for all of the information! But what I need now is all of the locations of the pets. :(

I also updated the locations of pets in Seared Ascalon and Kryta, however I'm still certain I'm missing out on a bunch of juicy information.

--Ginko

[Helfarch]

Are there creature stats to go along with these?

[EinValentine]

Just wanted to confirm:

UNDERWORLD:

Black Widow

(you need to do the quest "Wrathful Spirits" for it to appear)



I got mine last night.

No you can't. It says "that creature is not an animal" when you try to charm one - it doesn't matter if the creature is hostile or not for charming, it's whether the creature is an "animal". Moss spiders are clearly vegetables.

[Blight And Ruin]

I could be wrong but I don't think you can charm Black Bears in Wizard's Folly anymore. Maybe you can but I was unable to get mine charmed; they use a Charm-interrupt skill, which seems to be almost instant, that always interrupts and knocks you down, though it does no damage. I wasn't able to circumvent that. If you can do it I would love to know how.

EDIT: I see above that it is suggest you use a Knockdown warrior. I'll try that and see what happens.

[Ginko]

I added the Underworld, edit the Bear locations and reorganized the listings for easier use. Thanks for all of the contributions! :)

--Ginko

[Sitruc Adus]

Can you control more than one pet at a time? Say a Bear and a Dune Lizard?? Just curious if anyone tried?

[Jumbo-Shrimp]

nope..

[Swarnt Brightstar]

Wow that's alot of animals! I'm gonna go charm a blackbear!

[Draken]

the first place you can charm a bear is south of becons pearch in lomars pass at the far southern end of the zone before the cave area. I believe this area is considered part of the Northern Shiverpeaks.

[Northern]

I tried the charm a rabbit but it didn't work. :(

[wgregory87]

There is some false information here:

1) The moss spider can not be tamed in pre-searing (I have tried)
2) The wolf is not hard to capture (opinion)
3) The bears in pre-searing are not possible to tame.

[sojen]

Don't meant to be a flame, but I have 1 really puzzling question to ask. When I tried to charm the Moss Spider in Pre-Sear, it says: It is not an animal. ANd I have seen people charm Black Widow. Is Black Widow an animal?? If spiders are animals, why can't we charm moss spiders as well??

[Genosis]

Plenty of people in pre-searing have gotten bears. Do a search.

yea i wonder this too o.o the first thing i figured bout a spider not being an animal is its a spider a specie of its own but now people are charming black widows and making me go crazy o.O

[kkl]

I tried to charm a Charr before.. didnt' work... :( .. i mean.. they are animal ..right!?
also tried with Devouver... saying it's not an animal.. but somehow that farmer can have joe as his pet.. .. no fair :(

[Straegen]

Just added this information into my compendium program. Thought I would drop a note here.

You can find the program at Guild Wars Arcane Install (http://www.cameroncole.com/download/gwarcane.zip)

and report problems, suggestions, comments, etc at Guild Wars Arcane Forum (http://forums.cameroncole.com/index.php?showforum=19)

[Helios]

I dont' know much about rangers but does the level of the animal make a difference? If it does it'd be cool if the level of the animals were added.

[Viruzzz]

you can't charm spiders in pre-searing. i know that for sure, their not animals. period. and i still doubt you can charm bears.

the warthog's (i supose you mean the prize-winning hog's?) aren't charmable.. i don't remember why their not, i just remember i couldn't do it

[Jazzman]

the warthog's (i supose you mean the prize-winning hog's?) aren't charmable.. i don't remember why their not, i just remember i couldn't do it

I never tried to charm the prize winning hogs, but there are a couple warthogs running around Pre Sear. I found mine near Althea around the slope leading to the pond that the bull was in. There was one other location that had a couple wandering around, just can't remember where.

[Ninna]

you can charm Warthogs Presearing
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10019&page=1&pp

go out the ascalon gate, turn slightly to the right, and run towards the bull.

you will see 1 or 2 possibilities

1- there will be 2 striders

2- there will be 1 strider, then between him and the lake will be a hog you can charm






great info about pets that has not been posted in this thread (yet)

This is what it states in the Guide
Animal Lvl Dmg Armor
Strider 1 Prc 3-5 AC 3
Wolf 2 Sla 4-6 AC 6
Warthog 2 Blunt 4-6 AC 6
Moa Bird 3 Sla 5-8 AC 9
Melandrus Stalker 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Snow Wolf 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Lynx 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Warthog 5 Blunt 6-10 AC15
Dune Lizard 5 Prc 6-10 AC15
Black Bear 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Elder Black Widow 20 Prc 17-29 AC60

So clearly the black widow is better

Elder Black Widow 20 Prc 17-29 AC60

So clearly the black widow is better

At their starting levels, of course the black widow is better, but what about when they achieve the same level?
Look at the warthog... At Lvl 2 it does Blunt 4-6 and has an AC of 6. But at Lvl 5 the damage increases to Blunt 6-10 and AC15. Just from this alone you can figure out that their stat's increase as they level.
If you need more, then common sense dictates that if their stats did not increase, a level 20 Strider would deal no damage to a lvl 20 mob and would probably die from one hit if it's AC stayed at 3

Other wise, I find it very odd that they all do the same damage and AC at level 5, contriary(sorry for spelling) to what everyone has observed and experienced.

If the Guide was the Strategy guide that can be found on the shelves, there are a couple of posts discussing it's errors, and mostly because it's old data that has changed with beta's and the updates since launch.

[Ninna]

we dont have stats for pet damage at level 20
(except black widow)

im confident that all pets at level 20 have AC 60


how pets vary is damage type / attack speed / damage

[thegriffgeeks]

Moss spiders are clearly vegetables.
Sorry Epinephrine. I know this is off topic, but I just had to let you know that this made me laugh. :D Pretty funny.

[kungfumonkey2]

It will be nice when the information on pets gets compiled, and we know the differences. I assume they are all the pretty much the same though, but I wonder if there are HP differences or elemental immunities. I have heard this said before, and I think it is something that should come in an update. Is being able to Dye your animal. I presonally would love to have a yellow Moa Bird. Although I can see PETA having a problem with it, being cruelty to animals or something like that.

[Jehuti Enders]

The only 2 different pets i've had have been a stalker and a wolf that i got in pre-searing. I mostly play with my w/mo but just recently i was doing the "gates of kryta" mission. i think that's it... anyway, the bonus there involves finding a warthog named "Oink" of all things, and taking it back to its owner so that you can be given the bonus mission. anyway, while oink is with u, he fights mobs and from what i saw, at lvl 8, he was doing some decent damage. Enough so that i even thought bout going back to charm it, but figured it wouldnt work since its part of a mission like the prize winners or the rogue bull. i think i'm gonna start my ranger over and get a warthog

[Drakron]

Oink is pretty cute too ...

:D

[Viruzzz]

Oink is invinsible, you can't kill him. the monsters won't attack him either :)

try casting an enchantment on him

[revannecroblade]

How do you get pets

[Ginko]

You can charm them with the abillity Charm Animal, only certain ones can be charmed however. They are listed above. :)

--Ginko

[revannecroblade]

Ok what do you need to be to charm a aniaml.

[thegriffgeeks]

Ok what do you need to be to charm a aniaml.
Ranger primary or ranger secondary will get you these skills.

[clarke]

i was just wonder ing wat is the best pet (dmg hp) and wen charming a new pet does it take the lvl of ur last pet? i have a lvl 11 melandru stalker atm and im not sure wether or not to get a snow wolf lvl 5 :confused:

[Kuku Monk]

I think the pets default to level 5. But they should increase rather rapidly depending on where you are currently questing.

[Ginko]

I could max out my pet level in two hours, simple and easy. :)

Oink is an NPC, he's more powerful than any charmable animal in the game and invincible. Warthogs can't be as strong as him, but they are still the coolest pet.

You can't charm Oink, and the only charmable Warthogs that I know of are well past the mission where you encounter him.

[thegriffgeeks]

You can charm warthogs in presearing. One roams near the bull. The others are on the other side of the wall where you need 2 people to rescue the ranger there. (that's where I charmed mine.)

[Jarkimslersk Tallic]

where is the bull?

[thegriffgeeks]

where is the bull?
When you leave Ascalon City turn right outside of the gate. Head up to the actor's theater (it will be on your right). Head west at that point and you will find the bull and the little pond he is standing in.

[sojen]

The bull only appears when you accept the quest from Althea which will then offer you a chance to become a mesmer secondary or if you are primary.

[thegriffgeeks]

I have never not seen the bull, I have never done a mesmer primary or secondary, and I have not taken her quest either. I believe the bull is always there.

[zappusa]

where do you find a melandrus stalker in postsearing ... i looked all over old ascalon and found nada -_-

[CryingWolf]

Just south of the gateway to the breach

[Greenjedi]

Maybe I missed it but, does any of you got a location of the black widow, if its possible with map please :)

[Stormer]

the black widow is in the underworld, and it appears when u accept one of the quests there (i heard that it spawns when u complete the last quest, meh)

The bull is there until you accept the mesmer quest and kill it. Or leave pre-Searing, but that's obvious, so why mention it?

uhhh... yeah. :D

[Fr3sH]

OK, there are two types of blackbears, one in presearing and one in postsearing.
The one presearing is hard to capture because it has that interrupt and it also has a maul skill. Now i noticed that the one in postsearing has no such skills, and is easy to capture. My question is, are the two bears the same statistically, and does the postsearing blackbear use maul in battle?

[TheSalesman]

It would be nice if someone could add the evolutions of the pets... :D
I only know Strider to Moa Bird from experience.

[skaterman]

I was looking for a lynx outside kryta and found only undead creatures.
please check this out or pin-point the exact location of a lynx.(u vaigley put "all")

What about that bull looking animal in the presear how come you can't charm that it says its not an animal, but techncily it is an animal

Ummm.... That's Zeus. That's why he only takes 1 damage from any weapon, it's his godly tough hide. He's wandering around the idyllic countryside looking for maidens to run off with, but is busy sulking because Althea turned him down.
