Therefore, rangers cannot have, for example, two Juvenile Polar Bears but they can have and use two bears if they are different, such as a Juvenile Polar Bear and a Juvenile Brown Bear. A ranger can only tame each pet once, and should choose before entering combat which two pets they would like to use: two pets for terrestrial combat, and two pets for aquatic combat, with only one pet active at any given time. Amphibious pets, such as drakes, can be placed in any of the four slots. Rangers can slot four pets in this panel, the two upper slots are used for terrestrial pets, and the two lower ones for aquatic pets. Through the Pet Management panel, rangers can also view all the pets that exist in the game, and select from among that pool which pets -that they have already found in the world and tamed- will help them in combat. Only the pet the ranger is currently using can be renamed, but pets will keep their name forever, or until their name is changed again. Rangers have to be underwater to rename their aquatic pets and view their attributes and skills. To rename a pet, a ranger has to be using that pet, open the Pet Management panel, then click on the quill icon to the left of the pet's name. Through the Pet Management panel, rangers can also rename their pets. There is also information relevant only to soulbeasts: the pet's Archetype, and the Beastmode skills this information is not relevant at all for rangers nor druids. They can also see the location where they tamed the pet. Each pet has three attacks (more on this below), and a unique Beast skill. In this menu, rangers can view the attributes and skills of their current pet. Once a pet is tamed, they will join the ranger and appear in the Pet Management panel, where rangers can choose to have that pet aid them in battle. The list of pet locations has the location of all pets for rangers wishing to charm them all without having to search for them.Ī key feature of the pet profession mechanic is the Pet Management panel, which can be accessed by clicking the current pet's portrait above the ranger's skill bar, or by using a shortcut key, which defaults to K. Nearly every area in the game, including cities, contains a number of juvenile pets to tame. After a short conversation, with a description written by the mysterious Acht, the pet will join the ranger. Any friendly animal (green nameplate) whose name begins with Juvenile can be tamed (charmed) by the ranger, unless they already belong to another ranger, by approaching them and using F or double-clicking them. Nevertheless, this choice only determines the ranger's first pet.Īs rangers venture into the world, they will find new pets for them to tame. For example, a norn can choose as their first pet a Juvenile Snow Leopard, a Juvenile Brown Bear, or a Juvenile Alpine Wolf whereas a sylvari has to choose between a Juvenile Blue Moa, a Juvenile Jungle Stalker, or a Juvenile Fern Hound. The choice of pet depends on the player's race. During character creation, rangers must choose one from among three pets to start the game with. New rangers venture into Tyria with one single pet. (8) Where the pet was tamed (this pet was chosen during character creation). (7) Beastmode skills and Archetype (only for Soulbeasts). (6) The pet's autoattack and their two pet skills. (4) The pet's name, and the option to rename them. (3) The pet currently being used, and their attributes. They aren't shared between different ranger characters on the same account (with the exception of the Hall of Monuments pets). Pets are only available to the ranger that tamed them.
If the ranger is in the downed state, they can still use their pet to help in rallying them by finishing off the enemy or by having the pet revive them. If the ranger moves too far away, the pet will stop fighting and return to them. Most importantly, the ranger has control over the pet's Beast skill, an attack unique to each pet.īy default, pets attack the same target as the ranger, or whichever enemy is attacking the ranger, but can be commanded to attack whatever target the ranger wants. Pets use Artificial Intelligence to fight with the ranger and defend them, but the ranger can also give commands to the pet, such as commanding them to go attack a target before the ranger does, or stop attacking and run back to the ranger.
They can be classified by their family, such as birds, canines, moas, bears, jellyfish, etc and also the environment in which they can live: land, aquatic, or both (amphibious pets). Rangers and their pets fight as a team, and are always together. Pets are the NPC allies that constitute the ranger's profession mechanic.
