High Level Venomancer Pets

At level 91 I would have thought people would have farmed enough for a herc by then. I personally have never bought a pet and never intend to ^.^. Being a veno and taming your own is what it's all about, unless of course you plvl.

I rarely see pre leveled pets being sold though.

I grind for hours, and did only 2 lvls in frost, and my pet is only around 45 its depressing
Whip, if you happen to have an veno alt on harsh w/ a 60-70 pet i would totally buy it.

Unfortunately there isn't much of a market. While you may be able to sell the maggie (I would try WC on a weekend) I doubt you'll get but little more than what you invested on Bash. The problem is that non legendary pets are not really considered end game investments by much of the community, and that it would be difficult to find a buyer at the precise level range looking for the exact same pet you're selling. Most venos are decent enough to pay some small premium for pre-leveled pets (they do realize the effort that goes into it) but with what few methods for fast pet leveling are available few will pay anything beyond what they can get as income in roughly the time it takes to level them up in the cube.

The mag is also, I'm afraid to say, obsolete. The Walker gets around 300hp more and ups mag res by close to 600 (for level 100) while matching all of the maggie's other stats, so the pet is now considered sub-par, with most venos still using it either having already leveled one from before the TB expansion or choosing it because they dislike the Walker's more cartoonish style. I certainly wouldn't try selling the one with the herc buffs as you're very unlikely to find a buyer willing to match what you invested on it. The herc you can get for much less if you know how to take advantage of sales, and even at the same price comes with much more better base stats. My advice for the Bash mag is to just keep it until you find someone that needs it, most of the pets I have leveled I've simply given away.

In b4 this gets moved to veno forums.

Thanks for all of your replies you guys. I wasn't complaining about leveling my pets, though, I'm a master at it. Just wanted to know if there was a market for those higher level pets.

As for a herc, no thanks. I've heard from too many 100+ herc venos that they're not all that hot end game. And they've become so over rated. And they're really really ugly to me. I really want a nix though.

Thanks again for all your replies, you guys are awesome. b:pleased

True true, but if you say in WC Veno w/ Herc or Veno w/ Walker GENERALLY people will go with the herc, though I am on HT not RT

Land pets I don't think there's much of a market for anymore. Like others have said, most level their own. I guess perhaps sometimes rare-ish land pets (frog, cat, dog, bear etc) could have value, but nothing that really makes them worth "farming".

As a herc veno, if I could go back in time and not buy my herc... well, he was useful at the time, so I still might, but definitely less important these days.
Also, hardly anyone ever asks for "herc veno" vs "other kind of veno" anymore... it's been a long time since anyone asked me if I had a herc when I joined a squad XD

Potentially you might make a niche market for leveling water pets maybe, or air ones, but it probably wouldn't be very profitable since merchandise would take long to manufacture, price low, and take a long time to sell.

I would suggest if you were selling level 100 Petite Sawflys or water pets they would sell.

I have 91 Elysium Fowl.

I am officially jealous of you(in a good way). My celestial plumpfish is 83. Water grinding takes soooo long.

Moved to veno section.

I levelled to 100 about a week ago.

And after a week this is what I got.

Heck I even have a lv.96 Water Pet b:kiss

Anyone can do it, just sit there and start grinding (or use the Cube room) b:bye

And seriously Hercules Pet?, that's a pet for the lols, its not like you can really make money in this game with an Herc anymore,save those 80/90M to refine your gear instead b:bye

Aww.. how did you x.x

At level 38 any pet should be holding up as long as its main aggro skill is properly leveled, your maggie's already got lvl2 Bash, and you should be able to upgrade to lvl3 at 40. If you're having aggro issues with it you're likely using a uber wep so you can probably afford to level Sandblow and try using that on top of Bash. Under normal circumstances even a pure mag build shouldn't be having much trouble with an at level magmite, keep in mind most of the venos complaining are 100+ using a Jones and a +40 attack level wep on a herc (which only gets 1 dmg skill) so it is a rather different scenario...

At 8x it takes me something like an hour of solid grinding to fill my pet's xp bar so it isn't that bad. At your range it should be much more easier. Cube of fate is for catching pets up, not keeping them at level, and you shouldn't even be having pet leveling issues at 3x unless you're relying a bit too much on bh or FCC. Quests are more than enough to level fast at that range, net you a profit and should certainly keep at least 1 pet up to level...
