rare pet killers D:

Its been going on since the game has been around. They want you to buy the rare pets from them. So if they see some one trying to get the rare pet they will just kill it. They is very evil that way lol

I understand this can be frustrating, especially for low level venos that wish to tame the pet for themselves, but there really isn't much that can't be done. Rare pets are meant as a reward for dilligence and patience, and unfortunately for many venos this may mean that obtaining their rare may require several days of work, if not weeks. My only advice is be patient.

I know this doesn't help you much, but what you can do is either find help to tame it (it has always been the fastest and most effective method), continue camping the spawn until you get an oportunity, or grind enough coin to buy it. These methods may seem absurd or trying for you, but it really is the only way.

I hope you get your rare soon and wish you good luck.

The harder it is to tame, the more rewarding it is to finally stuff the little **** (literally, show me one mob that has a father) in an egg yourself.b:angry

While mat farming I saw a bunny run past me and I accidentally killed it with DoT when I was taming. b:cry

I kill rare pet too, when I see a lot of -chan venos in place.
And then, in HT we've tamers with -12chan rings. (O___O new record. Q_Q)

Pfft, I've had an encounter when 6 venos including me were at the Kowlin's spawning spot, as stupid as they were. They all had a Kowlin as a pet already, so they took it out. And then began to have a Kowlin duel, they the real thing showed up, I couldn't target it. Then this veno's pet kept on attacking since she forgot to halt it and it died.

if you desperately want to catch a rare pet and are tired of all the super fast channeling or people who kill the pets. there is an awesome apothacary item that halves your casting time even with people who have up to -42% channeling you are good competition. also to all of you venomancers who pull out your hercs... y the hell do you fully buff a lvl80+ herc to do low damage to a lvl20-60 mob you intend to catch? its not fun watching the pet kill itself cause if hit a hercs self bramble.

Because to most venos its probably second nature or instinct to buff it as soon as its summoned. At least it is for me.

Buffing the herc really doesnt make a difference. On a level 20 mob like the shaodu cub, the reflect does like what 50damage? It really doesnt matter if its a buffed herc or not. A non buffed DPS pet such as a scorpian would be even worse. I think you just used the "buffed herc" example because you do not have a big fat yellow rock yourself.

No, there's no ban involved in killing a rare. Why would there be? They're monsters and nowhere in the game is there any special status put on them aside from the way they only spawn once per twelve hours. Is it bannable to kill a mini world boss because they only spawn once every 24?

That said, I personally find people who kill to be bitter because of their own failures and inability to be patient enough to tame, or just people who want to be asses. At this point, at any spawn aside from kowlin, I just kill them first if they're someone who has killed it before, or if they're a whitename non veno waiting at the spawn, I will usually assume they're going to kill it or going to help one of the other tamers cheat--if it's a blue name that's doing it repeatedly on purpose, then I assume it's an alt and pull over one of those Lv 95 minibosses (at least at Shadou Cub) since, as far as I'm aware, it's not bannable if I happen to want to fight it there. It's not a safe zone and if they want to just kill monsters, there're plenty of other spots, so I don't think it could be construed as interfering with regular gameplay anymore than their killing the pet would be interfering with mine. It's a pretty rare occurrence anyway. Life's gotten a lot easier since I decided I'm going to stay red, and occasionally it gets a fun mini-PK war going. PvP server ftw.

Chan gear is nice, but it's hardly a necessity. I got my first kowlin with only the effectively useless -3% channel from my stash sword. Yes, it gives you an advantage to have it, but it's far from a necessity to tame rares, particularly if you're just getting one for yourself. You just need a little patience. If you think it's impossible, you're likely just a lazy veno who thinks getting rare pets should be easy. If it was meant to be easy, they would not be rare pets. And don't make stupidity sexist remarks. Some of us worked to get our channel gears--if you aren't willing to do that, then don't act so hurt about people who have them that you feel you need to be as petty as you are. Who says PvE servers are more civilized than PvP?

I have 3 rare pets on my veno.
I caught the snow hare (no one around for those it seems XD)
I bought a shadou and kowlin

The problem as I see it is that lowel lvl venos dont have the same money resources as higher lvl venos (need to put money into skills after all, and the drops barely help pay for everything sometimes). So a good tank like shadou, while a great help if you can get one, is economically hard. And at 2 respawns a day, up against higher levels (the 70+ crowd), is damn near impossible to catch. Only once did I ever see higher levels actually give way for lower levels to catch the pet (i wish i remembered the names...i'd totally give them kudos here).

Level 60+ have more money to allocate for a 1.5-2.5 million coin rare pet, so where i am now buying a rare is not as much problem.

So inevitably (and referring to shadou mainly because this is the rare i think causes the most heartache) there are 3 types of venos that show up: a) the catshop high level there to sell the pet (which the lowers hate, but it is fair game to make money from rares), b) the taming high level who waited all that time to finally get one, and c) the low level who needs the pet to raise but short of the above mentioned charity will 99% of the time not get the pet.

This environment is what leads to rare kills, so to me the real question is what would solve this. I see few possibilities, including:
-decreasing spawn times (for example, make all rares 1 hr respawn like snow hare)
-taming limit on rares (for example, must be lvl 20-40 for shadou, 60-80 for kowlin)
-players collectively lowering rare pet prices (for example shadous at 1.5 mil would become 750k)

The 2nd and 3rd options are highly unlikely and maybe even a bit stupid, but just throwing them out there. But the first one may be the only way to easily and significantly change things. And I wont discuss it here because it probably has 800 threads about it already.

Why would any1 want to reach high lvl when she can get every good stuff on low lvl?why is it so obvious that you can get rare pets when you barely reach lvl 20?I got my first shaodu cub on lvl 60+, and I was like:"finally"^^ if it would change for a 1 hr reaspawn it would be like: oh im bored lets get a few shaodu cubs...WTT shaodu cub for some bubblegum or so...Why is it good if everything in this game turns to worthless?Sure it would be good for the low lvl chars..a game without any challenge and cheap items.
And its very strange that I see "many venos in fashion who cant afford the rare pets"...
And I suggest that they turn the s.cub to lvl 80, problem would be solved too.

It doesnt matter how high lvl you are.If there is a lvl 60+ veno with few channeling gear little venos wouldt have better chances either, cause some1 would be allways faster, then she would camp there too...Same story. Making a lvl cap wouldnt change anything. I mean if some1 has -20% channeling gear or -50% doesnt make a big difference for low lvl venos with no gears. It would only lead to more(but lower lvl ) farmer venos, little venos still wouldt have a chance, oh and high lvl venos can go to hell.

Besides I met a lot of low lvl venos, who were far away from the innocent poor little veno image. I mean there was a lvl20+ veno(I never saw her before)then she came to the pet like she was a God or something, commanded me to leave or she would kill it...(wth?)

Or the other type who couldnt catch it after a few days, then she called her whole faction to "teach me a lesson" (LOL) Or ittle venos who finally got the pet,then they came back again just to kill it, and they were very proud of themselves to take such heroic revenge...Not to mention little(second char venos with 80+ main char)who "cant afford anything".
