[edit] Pictures of Pets

I think we should get picture for all of the pets that compare height of charcters to pets because I like bigger pets like other people and think we should add picture that display the pet and your charcter. If you got a pet that is lvl 20 plz post a picture of itTycars125 20:18, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Merge this with "Pet" and "Animal Companion"? This information was like a jigsaw puzzle to find. 122.104.228.149 15:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

They're not quite the same. Charmable animal is a "family", a kind of creature. These creatures have that trait whether charmed or not. Backsword 15:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-charmable animals

What should be done about creatures like Stonewolf and Carrion Feeder? They are animals, but this article only refers to charmable animals. - HeWhoIsPale 13:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed as Great Beasts. But yeah, naming is an issue. Better move to clarify. Backsword 14:36, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Professions

→ moved from Talk:Charmable

So what would everyone say we should mark Charmible animals as for Profession? I'd say Ranger as for one, only Rangers can charm animals, and two, Striders say R in their name, which makes them a Ranger, which increases the chances that the other charmable pets within the game are also Rangers. — ク Eloc 貢 23:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I would go for "unknown" for those cases that we don't know, for the same reason as why non-clased npcs can't be just marked as "warrior".--Fighterdoken 23:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Agree with Fighterdoken. --Kakarot 23:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Well if it's unknown, why can't we try and figure out what they are, which is what I am trying to do here? Also, every monster has a profession, keep that in mind. — ク Eloc 貢 23:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Then their profession is "monster" or "pet" or whatever. If we don't know their profession, we don't record it -- saying they are rangers because rangers can charm pets sounds flawed to me. -- Brains12 \ Talk 23:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) If it doesn't have a profession listed in it's name when you select it in-game you can't just select Ranger just because that is the profession that can acquire a pet. --Kakarot 23:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) People haven't complained that there's no profession for pets, so I see no need to go on a hunt to find the profession for each pet, if one even exists. Calor 23:39, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I said it some time before: "No profession" is an existing value in the game for professions. poke | talk 23:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

That's not right poke, creatures are not the same technical entity as skills, and not stored the same way. Backsword

If we don't know, we simply leave it blank. Cleaner, and what better way to covey that we do not know? Backsword 04:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

There's no such thing as no profession. This has been confirmed by one of the employees of ArenaNet. I even got an email saying that all monsters have a profession. — ク Eloc 貢 04:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

maybe we can test by armor level. rangers are supposed to have higher armor against elemental dmg right? --VVong|BA 05:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

If that's true Eloc then why do so many not have a profession listed in their name when you click on them. Leaving it as unknown or even blank is better than just assuming and inserting possibly incorrect information. --Kakarot 13:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Why don't we just give pets a "pet" profession? Create a separate category for them. -- Mini Me 13:13, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

We can't make up a profession if it already has one internally programmed inside of it. Pets have one of the 8 professions programmed into them for their base stats, so we should figure out which profession it is. — ク Eloc 貢 23:42, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Going in-game and clicking on it is the only way I know of to check and as we already know for pets it only lists the name and no profession unlike monsters so leaving it unknown or blank are the only ways other than making it Pet as Brains and Mini Me have suggested. --Kakarot 01:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok. — ク Eloc 貢 16:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually it could be safe to call pets rangers, because though the player intitiates the skill the pet performs it and all skillz performed by pets are ranger skillz. Plus since the skillz performed by pets can be done with a Beast Master Rank above 12 it can be assumed that pets are primary rangers. 72.58.185.64 08:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
