A Couple of New Player Questions

[Ingwe]

Bump to reflect new questions (above)

1. If you really want to level a pet, I sugest bonding it and letting it fight something harder depending on the pet. But, Healing Fairies are not necessarily fighting pets. They are meant for ressurecting you, but have to be wild. Healing Fairies will fight if they are forced to, but aren't very good at it. Also, some pets are harder to try than others. Don't forget when a pet levels that there are ability points you can add.

3. I've noticed that a while ago. I think it is because the animal is unable to move, and therefore cannot take orders. But I could be wrong.

The healing fairy doesn't gain combat skills because they are incapable of combat. In fact, I think they do zero damage as well.

If you are running our downloaded client there is nothing else to patch. Try turning off options in Razor like "negotiate features with server". Or, for an even quicker test, try running the client directly without Razor to see if the issue is still present. That'll let you know if it's something within Razor or not.

I'm not sure about the releasing while peaced. It will take more investigation.

Normal deer become Great Hearts during the fall season, and they are aggressive toward every other animal since it's their mating season. Just a little realism for the wildlife

Aye, I tried training a few other tames and realized it is only the Healing Fairy that wouldn't gain skills. Thanks for the replies on that. They have a swing graphic as though they're trying to fight, Falkor, but I guess they just never land a punch? I don't know if you're interested or not but I never saw them gain *any* skill, not just melee but magical as well. No Meditation, Magery, or EI. If that's the way they're supposed to work then heck, I'll just stop playing around with them and use their shrunken forms for deco instead.

Regarding the rubber-banding issue on the brambles, am I the only player who has this problem? Because it REALLY acts just like something I experienced on another server (and I'll PM you a link to the thread about it, Falkor - the mentioned patch is a dead link now though :/). Some brambles I can run straight through and some are impassable and have me bouncing all over the place trying to run through them. For the sake of being thorough, I did try both of your suggestions and neither one changed the issue - all the brambles remained as they were.

As always, thanks for the replies and I have to tell you Falkor - the explanation for the Great Harts made me smile. That kind of attention to some very interesting minute detail is simply awesome My compliments to the WP staff; playing here is a great experience.
