Hello. I could not find a clear explanation anywhere, so I post here now.
I am wondering what makes a pet grow, increase its level...
From my current point of view, It seems like it would take me ages to actually get my pet to its max level.
How many levels are you able to get in a day?
What makes a pet level up? What gives a pet "Level Experience"?
Any help with this would be great, as I'm just a bit confused about it right now.

everybody asks me this and from personal xp i know that if you leave it in the datapad it will grow 2 cl a day..BUT if you take it out and fight with it ..feed it when its wounded it can grow 6 CL a day.
Even with a CL 1 pet (baby) all you need to do it set your pet on the target then kill the target with a weapon ..just aslong as your pet gets a hit.

Hmm, I've been attacking with my CL 2 pet for a few hours now, no level up. Killing stuff outside of Mos Eisley with it, gives me around 120 experience. Do I need to be killing bigger stuff?

Pets grow in 10% increments - so CL growth is dependant on final CL (a rancor baby starts at CL 5 and will grow 5 CL at a time).
They seem to grow at odd times. It seems that there is a "grow pets" routine that is run at least daily (more often when patching or the devs are doing server cleanup). When it runs, it checks to see if the pet has been called since the last time it was run, if it has then the pet grows by 10%. Just to make things interesting it will also grow pets sometimes even if they haven't been called - I think dependant on how often the character has been played.
There are some peculiarities to pet growth as a result - pets tend to grow faster during the week than at weekends!
To ensure that a pet does grow, just call it every time you log on (even if you store it immediately) - this will keep it growing at the maximum rate and it should mature within 2-3 days - faster around patch days.
Using pets in combat, etc seems to have no effect on pet growth, nor does keeping them out for long periods - as a BE/MCH I have experimented with this a lot!

I didn't wrote down the times I tamed my creatures but got the feeling the 24h clock was started at the moment you tamed them. 10%/max cl a day growth is indeed correct. Didn't matter if I fought half a day with them or not login for 2 days, stayed 10% a day.

Not true!
I have 2 Klikniks that I picked up on Sunday. There are a level 18 pet. As of this morning before the server shut down, they were level 14. I have had level 14 pets that took 14 days to mature, but these Klikniks and even my tusk cat seemed to mature in a matter of 3-4 days.
I tamed a gorilla-looking thing last night. He's a level 19 pet. Let's see how long it takes him to mature.

your pets will grow once for every day that you log on. all pets will reach full grown on the 7th day that you log on regardless of their max cl. i caught a rancor andi tamed a lesser bol on the same day and they both reached full grown at exactly the same time!

lol its seriously to the point, that you tame a pet, go do something else for a week, come back and they should be in fighting shape, lol.
