    Wait till you get to 59 and get the golem from in there make sure you tell everyone you want to tame it.It is in FB59 other than that search pwdatabase for something around your lvl.

    the lower u start leveling your pet the better it will end
    taming high level pet only give u higher skills to start with
    genesis (r.i.p.) ===> conqueror (r.i.p.) ===> zen (r.i.p.) ===> iam (r.i.p.) ===> guardianz (r.i.p.) ===> spectral ===> essence

    -BS. Range pets get additional range, most other pets get faster m/s. Often the DPS of the higher level starter pet is negligible and the cost of adding skills to lower level starter pets just hinders your ability to replace it with a legendary pet. Non Legendary tank pets hold little to no value at higher levels.

    That's from a cash perspective. From what I read, Hercules costs 70-80M. I'm Lvl 70, about half a WQ away from 71, and working on my 6th million. Go figure. My Magmite is extremely valuable for me.
    [ And that's with very few skills. If I were to add some higher level skills those 5M will probably be gone in no time at all ]
    [ I'll probaby add some alchemy levels... with the WQ spitting out 20K spirit things are a bit more predictable than they used to be. So, at least some money gone... Anyway, Herc = waaaay to expensive to be anything to plan for/with ]

    Same for Fly vs. Phoenix. Don't know what a Phoenix would cost, but it's probably expensive too, and far less useful than a Hercules. Of course, if it's MUCH cheaper than a Hercules it might be worth considering (simply because I'll never get to 70M, so it doesn't matter if I spend all my money on a Phoenix)...
    Slow progress, game is getting way too grindy :-( Quests I still hope to be able to do some day: FB39, General Feng

    There's a verrrry nice wolf around your level you should be able to tame, who'd hold out until you can get the next magmite.

    But yes - despite tweakz, the difference between a proper levelled-up magmite/glacial and the one you get in 59 is extremely noticable. (My levelled one can and did steal aggro, despite the skill difference, and didn't die anywhere NEAR as quickly - especially when the occasional magic-attack lands.)

    To be sure, the herc is an order of magnitude better. But levelling up a low-rock may still be worth your time in the meantime.

    Edit: 57m on dream right now, thank you pet pack sale.

    Nix costs the same as a herc. Each takes 9,999 of their respected pieces, and as the pieces are interchangeable the price difference is negligible.

    Not at all.
    From what I read, Hercules costs 70-80M.

    You set the price you pay when you buy through your catshop. It can be much lower than that and still get you one. You can also make good coin by selling what you're buying.

    I'm Lvl 70, about half a WQ away from 71, and working on my 6th million.

    You blame cash shop, I blame laziness. WQ is not ideal for non cash shoppers and aligns you with oracle noobs.
    Go figure. My Magmite is extremely valuable for me.

    For what purpose? Have you tried other pets like a Lunar Lupin, Eldergoth Marskman/Sharpshooter, Dark Wanderer? -All those are useful even in the presence of a Herc.

    [ And that's with very few skills. If I were to add some higher level skills those 5M will probably be gone in no time at all ]

    Exactly. Herc comes with maxed skills which are worth alone most of the cost.
    Anyway, Herc = waaaay to expensive to be anything to plan for/with ]

    At my level it's not uncommon to make about 1-2m a day. For many, a Herc can come quicker than a Lv.3 School Attendance Ring. It's the negative attitude that holds people back (dumping 5m into a useless pet).

    I have seen other that have C-Mags that still have the lvl 17 skills in them at lvl 80 and a BM has one on these boards.I wouldn't invest in upgrading skills and with battle pet sales more and more are going be investing in leg. pet.I heard on WC looking for herc veno bh39 on Sanc. server.

    @OP: if you want some good tame-able tanking pets, get a glacial walker (best free phys dmg tanker, and not a horribly awful mdef) and a shadou cub / armored bear, or maybe other high-ish / decent mdef pets (i say the bears b/c they're not shabby defense, same mdef and pdef, and high HP).

    other than that, you're just cutting yourself short on stat points (which is really what makes a good pet, u can add skills to lower starting lvl pets, but you cannot add stat points to higher starting lvl pets)

    (I.E.: you can put bash lv5 on a lv80+ glacial walker,and/or lvl its icicle (water bash) to lv5, but you cannot put glacial-walker-like defense and HP on that lv59 or 60 starting lvl golem that someone mentioned here) b:victory
    i'm pro all classes, and against none in particular..
    but the age old QQ about venos is just that. OLD.
    QQ'd about a nix lately? check out this thread n tell me who's "OP" lol..

    If you're going to knock the Golems, then do so also with the obsolete pets you're recommending here.

    This person doesn't want to lvl up GW and I don't blame them as it takes time.That time can be used playing the game by the time the GW hit 59 that Golem with be 80+.It will have way higher p.attack.
