credit pets as we know them will no longer be available

If you currently have one it will remain effectively the same but you can change them into a beast by issuing yourself.

Or atleast thats how I'm reading it.

I think manse pets are handled differently.

No, not a manse dweller. I wanted a butler guy pet who'd be able to wander about Prime with me and deliver my mail and packages and who I could speak through and act the part of the snooty butler.

I think you can still get that, it'll just be a "beast" as well. So you could train it to do certain things, like breathe acid on your foes, or the like. Now that I think about it, an acid breathing butler isn't a bad idea...

HELP PET should explain how pets now work. They are essentially custom beasts with some bells and whistles.

Manse dwellers have not changed at all.

Can still do it, he'll just be mountable and maybe have wings content.gif

Vault and mounted vs non-mounted skill separation, plz.

But I thought the beasts were only going to be horses and wyverns and animal type things? confused.gif

Though a winged butler guy would be pretty cool too. And I suppose my character could be small enough to fit on his shoulder, which would count as riding. laugh.gif

Standard beasts, but "pets" are still available.

*sniffle* can someone please send me some ab files :'(

I'll send the first person a credit or five (yes bribery should work)


note: Five credits for entire skill list

The entire skill list is already up on the Scrying Pool, courtesy of Thoros' earlier post. Credits plz?

EDIT: Not ab files, just the skill list.

Ahhh... I get it! So, I CAN have a butler, just, like Acrune said, he'll be ride-able and stuff. Will he still be able to deliver mail and packages and be sentient and have reactions and all that happy stuff?
Aison2008-10-12 04:58:01
I'm reading this as:

You buy a pet, you use the pet as a beast/mount. You did this anyway when you bought a large enough pet to ride and used it with the Riding skillset. Otherwise nothing has changed.

If you want a butler for a pet, that is all well and good. You just can't use the beastmastery skills on it, that's all.

There is no reason why you can't still do this if you are going to sink 500-900cr on a customised artifact.

It's just a beast with some bells and whistles, like Estarra said.
