    Thanks, this was a good read, I had no clue about pets in NWO.

    They aren't pets. Pets at the very least can do more than 1 thing every 20+ seconds, and you can tell it to do things.

    No, these are companions! Walking, moving, mobile Tanks. Cause that is all they are good for, face tanking enemies while you kill everything. They serve no other purpose.

    THANKS! I am considering the honey badger and your write up helped make the decision.

    I had a tomb spider companion that I got in the zen store.
    2 attacks bite poison damage and rake physical damage.
    It had 3 offensive rune slots and three gear slots I can't remember what they were.
    The skins changed the color scheme.
    I think when I purchased it they classified it as a control class.

    Anyone know what skills the 2nd companion has from the quest reward in the Grave Yard? (The Cleric) Green Companion. Are they different from the white quality Cleric?

    Missing Companions IMO the companions that have disappeared from the vendors are going to be found in the lockboxes so they can sell the keys needed to open them. (you will notice it was the most popular pets in use that disappeared)

    That's what I fear. I really liked the boar companion because it fit so well with my dwarven fighter. If the only way to get it is from a lockbox I won't even try. One of the few things I've learned is to not spend money on anything in an MMO that is a gamble because I will always lose that gamble.

    There is another post about the unicorn mount being missing and in a linked video it was said some they are saving for expansions so not sure they will all appear in lockboxes some are to be added later.

    I assume this is the spellblade: first image

    I'm not sure what the other one is: 2nd image.

    Currently you can get all the known ones I've listed from the emporium in Protectors Enclave. It's the building that the companion quest takes you to at 16. Vendors are on the right side as you walk through the building. Prices and such have been fluctuating so I was going to wait for release to do something like that.

    Great info here. Has anyone heard what rating the founder pack pets will have? I'm getting the dire wolf from the Guardian pack and wonder if it will be blue or purple. I'd imagine that the Hero pack panther would be (or should be) purple.

    None of them have been available in any of the beta weekends so I have no idea. The wolf from the store was only green so I hope the guardian pack wolf is atleast blue since I'll be using him. Well unless they put the boar back in, my dwarf character needs a good battleboar pet.

    Here's a picture of the Bear, second skin I believe.
    The last one is practically black (all skins were unlocked before BW4).

    RIP Bearicade and Cowpony :c
    I really hope they don't end up in boxes, I'll cry.

    If they put kobolds back in the zen store, I'm totally going to purchase one and name him Deekin. <3

    What about Meepo?

    Does anyone know if the dancing sword is any good? Or is it bad like the shield?

    The Dancing Sword (freaking sweet and if fighting same level mobs, Destroys them outright!) The Dancing Sword was 900,000 AD and not worth the price. If it cost 25% of that then I would say yes I would recomend it without reservations. At level 12 it had a sweet skin and fighting the same level mobs it could solo a encounter due to its massive HP. It has a stab attack every 8 secs that hits same level mobs for 550 give or take and a slashing attack that hits for 130 to 200 every 2secs. Has no taunt at all.

    Now anyone know what skills the 2nd companion has from the quest reward in the Grave Yard? (The Cleric) Green Companion. Are they different from the white quality Cleric?

    Has anyone tried/used a Hawk? How was it? How much did it cost?

    The dire wolf is a striker companion with a little crowd control when he knocks targets prone.

    I used a hawk in the first beta weekend and liked it. It is a fast and mobile single target dps guy.

    I used the hawk as well. He is a good single target dpser for sure. I was using my rogue with him and well.... I dont recommend it :P

    By the time the Hawk gets his big attack off, the target is dead already :P

    Also, I did lose him in dungeons.. As did the ghost. Not sure what is going on there. I did a bug report on it.
