Taming levels, towns and turrets

[Johned]

Hey all,

I am currently level 9 handler and a smidge from level 9 tamer. I have been able to find most of the level information, like level 19 to handle three pets, level 14 tamer before I can tame a dak stalker etc.

What I can't find is what level I need to be to take my pets closer to turrets or towns. I see some people can take them right into a town and stand them right next to a turret.


Mine still stop and will not get that close. If anyone that has this ability knows about what level it occurred, please share.

And for any newer players reading this - when you see a person with a whip taking on a mob please don't shoot it. You are not doing any favors to them.

I would say, there is no difference between a beginner and an experienced player... but I am not 100% certain.

The point is, that some cities have areas where mobs can enter the town without beeing shot. Then players tame them there and train them there.

The other thing is that in the last VUs the areas around turrets seemed to become smaller.

Does this help or did you see something, that makes you believe, that there is still a difference between you and experienced players? If so, please contact me on XFire and we test it together.

I remember people bringing pets into P.A. then dropping decoys, making the pets attack anyone near them.
That was a few VU's/years back though, anyone know if pets still attack when decoys are deployed and the pet is following?
If I remember right, thats what they used to get them to the tp in PA as it was.

I think there is still a difference. At swamp camp there is a pet by a turret that I can not get close to at all. Most pets all stop at the same area, but on occassion there is the one standing right under the turret next to the revive. I can not get near that spot with my pets from any direction.

I also saw pets in the middle of twin peak and I can not get mine close no matter which direction I come in at. I uninstalled Xfire and don't have it running right now.

Someone said the pets trust a more experienced handler, but I have not found any information about that.

I can test that for you at some point, will let you know if I can get a pet to stand right under a turret and in town.

Swamp camp: no idea how this could happen, will check it too.

Twin Peaks was exactly what I described: people bring pets into the city and tame them there.

I stopped at swamp camp tonight and there was a pet right under the turret. I can not get mine this close no matter which direction I come from.

Lookign the other direction I see the line of pets where it seems most of them, inlcudingmine always stop and go no further. (mine are not in this pic)

Best bet is to try and find the pets owner. My guess is it involves a glitch to get the exa that close, but just a guess.

I had this same thing at Argus, and there are often pets at the TP there..mine chicken out and won't go.

As for swamp camp..be very careful with pets there, I've lost mine twice now near the stable, had to ask MA for them back. Area was bugged near the stables and I'm not going back to test if it's fixed any time soon as a hird support case would be a little
