Returning player from 2000, I have a nightmare and a white wrym that are untrained.the nightmare is only 2 slots but says it can be trained to five slots. but why would you want to do that? If I train my pets I can only have one of them with me but if I leave them untrained I can have both with me. what is the advantage of training a pet? Are there different pets I should be using now? Are dragons any good still? Do people still use pet combos like nightmare White wrym or do they just train a pet and use one now?
What
@Kylie Kinslayer said and a few other things:
1) Don't start trainin these pets unless you train other pets available now, like Cu Sidhes etc, that are much more expendable, and you can get more if you ruin them.
2) These PP pets you have could be worth 1-1.5 Billion gold as they are now, and completely worthless if you train them wrong, 0 value.
Ancient WWs are super rare, and really really expensive. See if you got one and get more info here.
3) 5 slot pets are very much more powerful than 22 years ago, and can do all sort of content depending on tamers spec, and trained skills on the pet.
4) Plain Dragons and Great Dragons are not as powerful as a 5 slot trained Chicken or Goat.
5) Don't touch you PP pets now, at all, and don't sell in game, as chances are high you may get scammed. If you ever wish to sell, make pictures with windows snipit tool and post all their pages of stats in the forum on the "traders hall" here in stratics and get bids for them.
6) Most tamers do not use combos anymore, as single 5-slot pets are pretty powerful.
There is a little to learn, but use the tamers forum and all the nice work put in by the players here last 2 years and there are specific guides in here on Cus and other pet training. It is worth the time.
Lastly : If it is on, the Test Center (TC1) is a priceless resource to pet training learning and if you ruin the pet there you just delete and recopy the tamer there.
Lastly: One more time ruining your PP pets is something you will very much regret forever. So don't train at this time.
At any time if you have questions ASK here, and chances you will get answers same day some times within a few minutes. Most pple here are super nice.
Have fun and enjoy the game and welcome back to the game.
