Pet shop

Post by FunLovingKiller »

For those who are impatient, perhaps an area where players can buy/sell/swap pets with others? Selling them to a level one player would be unfair, so there would be minimum level requirements on when pets can be used, much like the items used to summon pets have minimum use levels.

This would allow for some folks to be pet farmers and sell off level 15 pets while they groom another one.

Pets do level quickly, so the levels might have to be increased slightly adding more value to higher level pets. With some tricked out food, someone could certainly level 15 a pet in a day.

The big drawback would be lack of item experimentation trying to get new pets. Most are fairly obvious (the big shiny USE link) but others are not and do require a combo. It would also create a flood of higher level pets as other players (Rux) start to cash in. Selling does have the consequence of forcing someone to start from scratch themselves or buy a lower level pet and groom it. No one should have more than two of the same type of pet at once, otherwise the campgrounds are going to turn into corrals.

That's an interesting idea, the level limit on buying pets would probably be the same as the one for creating your own of that specific pet. I'm tempted to say that perhaps each player would even be limited to only 1 pet of each type total, so if you're selling one, you can't have a pet of that type at your campground or with you at all.

There have been vaguely similar ideas to enhance pets, by letting them equip items, or the possibility of them being injured/dying in campground raids, both of which would probably make pet selling/buying more interesting.

Something to think about, at least.
