Queestion about Venomancer beginner (please help)

yep, your pet's low on loyalty. you want that number above 500, at least; feed it sesame oil as quick as the food cooldown will let you until it gets there, then see how it fights.

Yah that defently does not sound right. I am lvl 46 and got a walker about lvl 44 so had to "painfully" lvl it up lol.

It was quite easy since i could leave it to kill its same lvl mobs with maybe 2 - 4 heals (max usually bout 5) while i killed bout 3 mobs during that long process of him killing just 1.

Yah your pet wil never kill faster than u can unless u have a nix or a scorpion or somthing that has a high damage rate.

BTW every time I turn in a quest i fix all my armor so i have the full benefits of my armor/weapons when i go out the next time.

From grinding or just the quests you should always be making more than it costs to fix as I have experienced so many times already. b:pleased

Oh and the walker is bad on magic defense so i suggest to tame one that has good mag defense. If I leave my walker to attack a mag mob I usually have to double my heals.

All in all you should have a total of about 5 - 6 pets. (1 for physical def(land), 1 for mag def(land), 1 for air(find one that has best for pdef/mdef), 1 for water(find one that has best for pdef/mdef), 1 to pull (fast pet although i am not too worried bout this one), 1 for a backup incase your main dies and u cant really or dont really want to escape. )

Most venos will also have a high damage pet as well so you are looking at taming about 7 in total.

Well unless you want to go HA and not be able to heal as much and as good as a AA Veno then I highly suggest you start putting your points in Mag (4) & Strength (1).

As a magic caster class you should not be putting any points into VIT or DEX unless you have leftover after getting the best gear for your lvl veno at any point.

Actually, 1 strength and 4 magic every level is twice as much strength as you need. Magic gear only requires 1 strength every 2 levels. Any more than that is pretty much a waste on an arcane build.

LoL yes thnx Bridigan for correcting.. that is actually what I meant just forgot to edit in every 2 lvls.b:chuckle

But then again i use hybrid which usually requires it in what i have experienced, that way i wont be as squishy.

the pure mag build is 1 str every 2 levels, everything else into mag. you may need to catch up a little on strength since you seem to be a point or two below that standard.

i'd say, if you ever run into some equipment (arcane armor or magic weapon, i mean) that you want to use but don't have the strength for, add more strength the next time you level until you can use it; otherwise don't worry about str, just go pure mag.

I forgot to ask you: What gear is better,Wood, Water Earth etc, or Phy. res? Trust me I search 2 days on forum but I cant find that information. Thank you again so much.

armor has six different resistances; physical, and the five flavors of magic (wood, metal, earth, water, fire). you want them ALL. any piece of armor that lacks any one of these six --- well, i for one only even consider using it if that piece has something else remarkably good about it, some additional extra that makes up for its shortcoming. lacking any one resistance is a BIG shortcoming, in my opinion. it might be made up for, by a really great additional extra that i particularly want --- but that's rare.

i'd rather wear the bone-stock, one-star, no-socket, white-named armors you buy from the tailor than most blue-named gear with one lacking resistance. if TWO of them aren't there... i NPC the thing, usually.

arcane armor will have comparatively low physical resistance and high magical resistances --- usually all five types the same number. if you've settled your mind on the pure mag build, then arcane armor is the only kind you can use, so you'll be stuck with low physical resistance --- us arcane-armor casters all are. we usually wear physical-defense belts and necklaces to try and make up for it.

sometimes you have a choice between gears that have different additional extras; maybe one pair of boots will have added phys def while another pair has added wood def, for instance. in that case, i try to pick the one that increases whatever i have least of --- which is usually phys def, since i wear arcane gear.

the "which pet should i use" question is a huge one with no one right answer; a lot of the personal style of playing veno goes into choosing and customizing your pets. some good resources for research:

ecatomb on pet stats at level 100
pet stats simulator
tameable pet list

as you might notice from these, the glacial walker really has fairly decent mag resistance. several pets have much worse such, but if you really want one with more mag def, you could try the ebon hellduke / seamonster guardian (it changes name when you tame it, annoyingly). it's found near the glacial walkers and starts at level 19.

although, you might want to give a thought to a flying pet. you'll soon run into airborne quests where one will be handy.

keeping a pet leveled with you is not hard --- they gain XP much faster than you do, provided you keep their loyalty up above 500 at all times. leveling two or three pets isn't too difficult, even. myself, i'm having to grind quite a bit to keep my four pets all at my own level, and i just acquired a lv-20 tabby plumdrop i may want to put forty-odd levels onto to see how it plays; that'll be a bit of a drudge.

but just one or two is no problem --- simply switch pets when one's XP bar fills all the way up. oh, unless you have some specific need for the particular skills or strengths one pet has that the others would lack; then it's appropriate to keep using it even if its XP bar's already full.

you almost certainly do want more than one pet, though, because their different strengths serve different purposes. i have an air pet for flying quests, a glacial walker for land tanking, an eldergoth for ranged tanking and luring, a dark wanderer for damage dealing, and the tabby i'm curious to see what i can do with. debuff luring as a specialty? or skill it out for damage dealing? hmm, hmm...

You have so many pet's that is so great. I only have Glacial Walker and a turtle who is lvl 8 and I did not know how to lvl up. I thought it was like genie or something they all level up even if I dont use them or u can lvl up from your EXP. Hihihi...But let's say at lvl 70-80 I take a Herc, will he be my final pet or I need others too? I just dont think I will have money to spend with all pets, skills and EXP.

I have at this moment a herc, a nix (flaming phoinx), a eldergoth marksman, and a turtle I got at lvl 51 but not sure of the name.


I used the Herc for land, nix for air, Elder for pulling, and Turtle for water. I am pretty much set on my pets.

I also use my nix for high damage and mag def since its awesome. Of course the herc and nix are CS items.

I use the Elder for pulling since it is a ranged pet and it pulls faster than a herc and wont have to worry about the possbility of dying from all other mobs attacking it at the same time. However my herc can withstand it b:laugh.

Hope it helps.
