Pets after lvl 60

Each has its advantages. The frog make a wonderful magic tank, and has excellent physical defense and hp for its type. It has relatively low attack power, however, and it's ability to hold aggro is somewhat sub-par unless you teach it roar or a better damage skill like bash or flesh ream. The frog is highly underrated, which is the reason it's priced the way it is....for someone looking for an inexpensive but effective pet, the frog is a wonderful choice.

The kowlin isn't bad as a magic tank, but has low physical defense. It has pretty good attack power (much higher than the frog, but not nearly as high as the golem) and decent enough hp. It starts with bash, flesh ream, AND pierce, making it VERY good at holding aggro. But the best part of a kowlin is its run speed, which, starting at a whopping 10.1 meters per second, is supreme. I often use a kowlin in situations where I can take aggro from the side or from behind. The kowlin's massive speed allows to quickly cut off would be attackers and take the aggro onto itself. The kowlin also makes a nice pvp pet due to its speed. I have yet to encounter a player that can outrun it.

With speed aside, the Frog is by far the BEST rare pet there is, i am lev 75, veno, and have a frog i finally leveled to 75, i stripped all it's skills and gave it Bash, flesh ream, i forget the name of the 3rd spell now, but it reduces the mag defence of taget, and roar, ,, the P. defence AND mag defence are FAR above all the rest of the rare land pets, and it is fairly fast also, at 7.8 that not bad, it has HUGE mag defence and HUGE p. defence, makes it a far better pet than almost all ove the rares, and to a certain degree even the golum, the differance between them is so small at lev75 that i got rid of my Magmite to free up room for a armord bear i have waiting, i have been told that it becomes the best armored pet after lev 95, so we will see..

i have a cub and its awesome i strip his skill as well and gave him the best ones cost me 4 mills to do it but it was worth it i reraly heal it and it take cares of himself whish to me means less worry about cloness and more time to not die and run away when i get mob seriosly do u guys get mob as mush as i do every time i turn aroudn there is something there waiting to eat me aliveb:chuckle

The best pets to have are either Cash Pets, or Pets with a very low original level.

QFT

Some people may argue that the stat difference isn't worth the cost of training skills. Boo-hoo I say. Venos have an eeaaassssyyyy time making money. Better stats are better stats, plain and simple.

Here are comparations of atributes of all in-game pets at lvl90: [Pet comparation at lvl90]

Golem: HP:2934; Attack:3240; P.def:8792; M.def:5861; Acc:1354; Dodge:1003; Atck/s:0.6; Speed:6.2

Frogling: HP:2732; Attack:2104; P.def: 7097; M.def: 8280; Acc: 1821; Dodge:1214; Atck/s:0.8; Speed: 7.7

Armored Bear: HP: 3149; Attack: 1672; P.def:7618; M.def: 7618; Acc:1259; Dodge:933; Atck/s: 0.6; Speed:8.6

best, middle, worst

In my book as far as Phys attack mobs go, Golem is by far the best choice! Don't dissregard his strength! Sure Frog has more Mag def, but also almost 1.2k less hp! Bear is only more endurable then both, but he is much slower killer then they are, and takes heck of more hits due to his low dodge! I think you all underestimate Golems worth!

PS. If you were realy lvl75 veno, how da heck could you forget the skills name, huh?And not any skill, but a very, very common skill that even I at lvl37 know! Btw its called "Howl": Scare the enemy with howl, decreasing enemy's Magic Defense by xx% for yy seconds!

I agree on Kowlin, but Guardian Wolf(lvl45) has much better stats then him, still runs 8.5 m/s, and it aint a rare pet! Some high level venos said that 8 m/s is enough to lure, and that Kowlin's speed is not realy needed, only handy!

Take in mind I'm not trying to play a smart ****, just pointing facts, and what I've heared form high levl people(80+)!

We aren't saying the golem is not a good pet but its not the best magical pet, most mobs after 40 are mostly magicial so while for example I still have my golem, I find myself using my guardian wolf (my magic pet) more often. My other veno KonataPink has a frog and he's a really good magic tank. She doesn't still agro although I need to grind to get him a new skill.

On another note, stick to one bloody color please your post was blinding.

enough with Kowlins already LOL...they only look good

the only reason mine got to lv 70 is because i'd grind a little to sell it at an even lv..stopped using it at lv 66-67

try a Steelfang Grimalkin (lv 71 Named Quest mob), tameable & has 2 skills lv'd up

also the pets mentioned in previous posts are even better if you take the time to lv them up.

While I was lucky enough to get a kowlin at level 60, (They weren't farmed so intensively then) I've found my guardian wolf to be a better all round lurer/magic tank. The kowlin is my level as I'd been using him extensively but the wolf is still level 68 and his defenses are over 500 points greater than the kowlin's, his only weak points are speed and a slightly lower attack power, which should be almost on a par with the kowlin's when he levels up. (Wraith legion attacks around Dreamweaver Port are excellent for 60+ pet levelling, by the way)

As far as physical tank pets go, both my GF and I have quadastral beetles (level 2 pale blue beetle outside Lost) and while their phys def is a little less than a golem's, they have good magic defense (essential after level 60 really) and far more importantly, they don't GET IN THE BLOODY WAY all the time b:chuckle.
They only had tough level 1 to begin with so they do cost a bit for pet skills but have no trouble keeping aggro with flesh ream and bash.
