Pet Deleveling

Very simple. Add a feature that allows pets to be deleveled to 1 regardless of what level they were tamed at. Deleveling would revert all their pet skills to level 1, and force the pet into a slightly better growth model than standard. Pet would need to be level 20+ before it could be deleveled. Pet would be marked special, and could not be deleveled again. Legendary pets can not be deleveled.

The purpose of this is so that the choice of pet options is a bit more expansive, giving lower level venos more options for air/ground/water pets. It also gives higher level venos something to sell to lower level ones, and actually creates a market for non-rare pets.

These creatures already exist as pets, and already have stats and growth rates, why not make use of them? By being able to set pets back to 1, with slightly better growth, people would be more encouraged to try some of the more unusual pets.

    I actually kind of like this idea... This would allow people to all get similar strength pet's and to get the pet the type they want. Some of the cheap venos might just get the pet with biggest(most useful) skill set, but it'd defiantly increase the diversity in regular pets.

    You wouldn't see just phoenixes and petite sawfly's, As long as pet in same family of mobs they'd have same stats at level that'd be interesting. (Although they would have to do a base code for each family type) So that'd be around 50 but it shouldn't be too hard for them to manage if they were so inclined.

    I agree this would be interesting to see but it after a few 'resets' all pets would become nixes and hercs......

    Well no, they would only be able to be reset once, after that, you'd be stuck with it. The idea is not to replace hercs and phoenixes, but to create some more variety for those who want to use pets, but cannot afford a legendary pet yet. After all, much of PWI's money comes from people spending $200 to make those legendary pets.

    On that note, they should make it so -channeling items don't affect the skill taming, so everyone has an equal chance to tame rare pets, not just the same uber geared high level venos who greedily tame them for profit every time.
