Pets & Horses Quest Pets And Obtainable Perks

As the title would suggest, this a suggestion for improving the pet system within the game. Currently, pets are kinda useless except cosmetically, this is an idea to fix that. So we have quests give out non class specific armour and other gear, but why can't they give out pets that relate to the quest or perks that can be applied to pets to help diversify builds even more. For example, for the quest finding the light, after you complete it you'll get your usual rewards plus a Volt Goat pet. This pet would be a yellow sheep that when active, will allow you to access the realm of light without the clear sight spectacles, along with attack with 25%damage a hit, and give like +11% thunder damage. Or for memory paranoia, you can get a pet called "Timmy's Spirit", which when active will allow you to get +10% walk speed, and do like 20% damage a hit. Along with getting pets from quests, you could get a one time use perk to be applied to any pet you have. This system could allow pets to get a new life for use in builds and other things. Along with that, pets could be rarely found in loot 3 and loot 4 chests, also a basic pet could be a default thing, such as a rag I solider that follows you.

Pros: new life to pet system

Cons: may make old GC bought pets redundant

Suggested by mbed: leveling up pets

This suggestion states that you can level up a pet for increased damage percent and bonus

How to level up: each time the player gets XP, let's say 100, the pet will get a 30% of the total gain just for them, so the player gets 100 XP and the pet gets 30

Why this wouldn't violate the ELUA, the GC bought pets would just be basically reskined normal pets, but separate entities as the reskined classes are

 

Meh, might as well bump it I suppose :P

 

Sounds like a pretty good idea, why not?
Could you add a poll so we can vote?

 

Sure thing, didn't think to add it

 

Like the idea, but how would the guys whom have already commpled quests that give pets out? And the GC pets should be refunded except for the ones unlocked by ranks, other then those it seems good to put in game


+1 supporter

 

It could just be automatically given

 

+1 Support

 

If so: Where? What if bank space is full or inventory? I thing you should go to the starting NPC and they'd says something like:

"Hey, I forgot to give you something for helping me out, so here"

Still keeping my support on this idea :D

 

Its a pet not an item, so inventory space wouldn't be relevant

 

There's a problem with this. What kind of AI would they have? I mean, the Golems got the defender AI, and we all know how that turned out.

 

Well, Wynncraft is a MMORPG and in real mmos we do see pets everywhere that are unlocked by quests so, sure yeah +1Support

 

I would think an AI similar to the current AI would be good, but possibly without the quirk that it gets in the way of the cursor

 

I've seen Golems go right next to the mob and are still not able to hit it. Maybe that's because of the speed though. The quirk of it getting in the way of the cursor may not be fixable because of the mob being an entity, and so it would block it. (Though the part of the mob getting hurt is really annoying, as you are the only things that can hurt them, and if you do, when it has low health, you kill your ally. So maybe the mobs couldn't get hurt at all or something?

 

It could be you cant hurt your pet, and if the pet dies you have to wait a bit to respawn it
