Many Wizards in Wizard101 are seeking pets with incredible abilities, especially those that cast spells automatically. You might be wondering how to obtain these powerful companions. Are they hatched, trained, or found later in the game? Let’s unravel the mystery of getting the best pets in Wizard101.
Pet talents in Wizard101 are, in essence, random. Acquiring the specific talents you desire often involves a significant amount of pet hatching. If you are aiming for a particular talent, a good strategy is to seek out players who already have pets with that talent and ask if they would be willing to hatch with you.
However, it’s crucial to understand that hatching doesn’t guarantee the desired outcome. Talents are randomly assigned to pets at birth, determined by the genetic pool inherited from both parents. This element of chance is a core part of the pet system.
You might notice lower-level Wizards possessing seemingly superior pets. This is often because players with high-level Wizards on the same account have invested time and resources into pet breeding and training on their more advanced characters. These experienced players can then share the benefits with their lower-level Wizards.
Before advanced pet features became common, obtaining a good pet was a milestone. A solid early pet, like a Starfish with Sprite and Proof talents, could be obtained around level 60. Starfish, available from vendors in Celestia Base Camp, have a strong starting talent pool. If you have spare gold, purchasing one and leveling it to Adult is a great first step. Afterward, you can begin hatching with other pets to refine talents.
A key tip for pet training: if a pet doesn’t develop the talents you want by the time it reaches the Adult stage, it’s often best to stop training and start with a new pet. Continuing with a pet that isn’t showing promise can lead to disappointment. Focus on hatching and trying again to increase your chances of getting a pet with the talents you’re looking for.
