My Ultimate Pet Guide (Introduction)

Amy: "OH ****." x_x
So you've gotten your kaiser roll handed to you by a really tough boss in Wizard101 and want revenge, but you know you can't grind your level like in Pokemon because the boss is part of a main quest (like the Jabberwock) and you've reached the limit of your gear and magic. What now?



Get a pet!

Pets were introduced in the game, but once the Pet Pavilion was introduced, pets have become part of a Wizard's gear, like his hat, robes, boots and wand and deck case. This guide is all the research I have done while making my Jade Pets(aka the pets which let Ethan Jadeshade tank anything once he gets his Jade Gear) and will guide you in making that pet you so want.

First off, let me make a disclaimer. This is my opinion and I've done a lot of research on the sites known as Duelist101 and Wizard101 Central. I, in no way, am saying this is the end-all-be-all guide to pet raising, this is just stuff I learned which has helped me out. I've struggled with pets for the two years I was playing Wizard101 and never used healing pets before, I just stuck with the ones I got from game cards until I found out these helpful tips. These people are the real experts. If you have any tips, feel free to leave a comment on the blog.

Anyways, let me begin this guide with a very important lesson for those who have just opened up the Pet Pavilion...

Part 00: Don't Fret Over Pets! (Yet)


While that Stray Piggle you got from Merle Ambrose or that Myth Sprite you might have gotten a lucky drop from Rattlebones isn't doing you any good except for decoration on your wizard without pet training, the pets which give you nothing but spell cards into your deck aren't bad. The $10 Gamestop Wizard101 piggles give pretty decent cards like Unicorn, Infallible and whatnot, which are useful up to Mooshu. You don't need a speciality pet with talents until Mooshu because the enemies in Wizard City, Krokotopia and Marleybone (except those in the optional dungeons like Sunken City) aren't tough at all and have no more than 2500 HP for bosses and 700 HP for normal enemies. (I apologize if I use HP for the term for health - I am an old-school RPG fan.)

Like Elsa sings in Disney's Frozen, "let it go." Don't try training pets (except if you want to jump train, more on that in the advanced lessons) - The Pet Pavilion is only for those who have a lot of money(which you won't have until Mooshu because the enemy gear drops in the first three worlds sell for very little even in the Bazaar), a lot of energy(which you won't have - Wizards at Level 7, which is when you get access to the Pet Pavilion, have only 42 energy, enough to train a baby pet 21 times) and a lot of great pet snacks(which cost money since they won't drop from enemies until Azteca and the Mega Snacks are rare drops from difficult bosses).

Until you get to Dragonspyre, where bosses sport over 3000 HP, focus on your gear and training points - if you can beat Ares in Mt. Olympus, you'll get a wand that gives a power pip at the start of battle and a boost of 10% to damage, which is perfect for Mooshu and Dragonspyre battles. With the right gear(the Senator's Gear from Mt. Olympus is really going to help you until you get the Waterworks unlocked), you will be okay until you defeat Malistaire and get to Celestia...

Oh, already defeated Malistaire the Living in Great Spyre and now need to deal with the unfair enemies in Wintertusk and Celestia? You've come to the right place! Next update, I'll give you the guide to getting the hardware you need to get speed-training your pets, aka the Mega Snacks. Cheers! ^_^

(My apologies for not updating the pet guide, I am busy in Khrysalis and won't have time to update yet. I have half of part one written already.)

What's This? (A Renewal)

I decided that I didn't want to bog down my main Wizard101 blog(The Frugal Conjurer) with a ton of tutorials, so I decided that this blog will now be redirected to be personal experience guides for crafting, gardening and whatnot. I won't be going over too many crazy things, just minor stuff like the best place to find reagants. Ciao!
