It was roughly 82.78% intensity (had prior trained his dex/stam to 125). Finished the first round of training and as the title says, went from 3 to 5. Am I screwed?

I believe so.
Also most old cus/prepatch come as 4 slot. Are you sure it wasnt 4 slot?

Yup. I have a couple others (a white and a black) that both say 3. Kinda don't want to touch them now :/ This is the white one. The copper was the same, aside from it having max dex/stam.

I guess I'll wait to be able to copy to test before I touch the other two.

Only seen pets jump from 3->5 on overcapped exploited pets.
Very odd if it jumps like that.

Test on TC and see what is going on.

It did not go from 3 to 5. The old ones should be at 4 now. You may as well push the button on those at 3 to see if they jump to four. If not, they are fine.

Yes you are screwed. Old Cus that did not have their button pushed are 4 slot when they begin.

Not purchased, at least not that I can recall. When I say years ago I mean like 2010/2011. Can't post screenies unfortunately. Was out hunting dinos, we both died, and when I got back he went poof.

I don't follow. The animal lore gump said it was 3 slots. My control slot indicator also said 3. In any case, like I mentioned in the prior post, he went poof.

Gonna copy to test center once that opens back up and mess around with the white and black. Here's the black one

It does not matter it is going to do what it will do. Id say that one will go to 4 slot when you add something.

Players before pub 97 that return now and did nothing with their pets, have their Cus and Hiryus start at 4 slot.

It should already be at 4 if were going to be. It really does not matter, it will not get fixed if it does jump. May as well put some stuff on it and see if it just goes to 4 slot like it should. Waiting is not going to fix it.

Follow a guide and it will be a nice pet if it goes to just 4 now.

If you want pure debuff you can chose CB and discord in the last round. If you want it to do some damage also. AI/CB/Discord.

Pair this pure debuff with a death ray mage and you'll be in for a treat.

Is there any real need for 120s aside from discordance (magic skills in general)? Thinking of just doing 110s, again aside from discordance. Also a factor....ATL prices are insane.

Given the amount of bugs, poor coding, and idiosyncrasies in how the pet training works, it is really a good idea to do this for every pet. Immediately prior to training it, copy your char to TC and upgrade it exactly as you plan. If everything works as you want it to, repeat it immediately on a live server. This practice saved me many a pet from a gimped/suboptimal configuration.

That was my plan but for some reason, I'm unable to copy my character to the test center. I did recently resub, so maybe that's why?

High intensity pets deserve 120's :) just my personal opinion.
Save points so you can upgrade in the future!
