Info: Thoughts on 6 pets

[Kombinator]

Some thoughts on 6 pets unlock.

Every new pet number has come at EXACTLY 12.5 levels over prior one (except first pet one comes at 6.25 or 50%)

18.72-6.25 = 12.5
31.25-18.75 = 12.5
43.75-31.25 = 12.5

Now after that something is happening.

theoretically 6 pets should have been unlocked at 43.75+12.5 = 56.25.

That did not happen

Next possibility was 43.75 + 12.5 + 12.5 = 68.75

That did not happen.

The formula seems to be screwed up here, and I cannot figure out what it can now be.

It seems that the 6 pet control was verified by Rob Vee, so it was real, but what possible level can it be, I am officially out of guesses, anyone has any thoughts?

Perhaps we should widen our view on this case. At the moment we are completly focused on the prof standing, but perhaps something else is required as well, like having (tried to) tame a pet to unlock animal taming. Just a thought to break out of our narrow box

All the prior multi-pet unlocks have opened like clockwork triggered by purely handler standing, why should this one be different? And all the past ones were at 12.5 intervals.

I understand what you are saying, but it is in fact triggered by a pro standing, the guy who unlocked it (but never shared the level) told me that much.

Maybe level 70 like commando or level 80 like KS?

If my information is correct, the skill was unlocked after chipping in a lot of skills and is therefor still unknown. Chipping a lot of skills might have set 1 skill way higher than the other skills and therefor triggered the unlock, because a certain level of a skill was required as well to get the 5th additional pet.

But still it was the professional standing that unlocked 5 pet control. I still believe the ability for X pet control is based on professional levels.

I believe that as well, thought it may be like commando at level 70, but we know that is not true at this point.

I may slowly bring the skill up and eventually we will find out the true level, but any other concrete theories are welcome.

As a short update, I sent a support case asking if the 6 pet level was nerfed along with the other taming related recent bugs, and they tell me it has not been. So the quest will continue, although at a very slow pace, at this point it is more a matter of curiosity than anything else. My next guess is level 72+.
