Hi,

Can't make up my mind if I should just take the plunge and convert all my old invalid be pets now - or should I wait and see if they tweak the conversion?

What do people think.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

I have waited on my three favorite pets. I am hoping (probably stupidly) that they will make pets better and will make the conversion better. This probably won't happen, but I see no point to taking an awesome level 64 armored pet and nerfing it to be weaker than a level 50 wild... so I may as well wait it out. The kicker is two of them are pets originally owned by a friend of mine, who left the game a year ago. They're kind of mementos of him, so I can't just 'replace' them (not in my mind anyway). And I sure don't want them to become useless like all my other converted BE pets. So for now, I am waiting.

I should have either waited or converted by stats on my favourite (and only) B.E. pet. In hindsight, converting by level was a huge error of judgement - it jumped to about CL245.

Rop.

Yeah, never convert levels to match stat. You get an uncallable pet, or if it is callable it is mostly uselss. The resistances don't convert at all, so you end up with a high level pet with decent Health, but no resistance... which is no better, and frequently rather worse, than just a wild tame of the same level.

If you convert, always convert stats to match levels. The other way round doesn't work right, and seems to be bugged.

I'm holding off on the conversion myself. Though cause I am a merchant I have quite a few to convert. Tame even since most are still in deed form. My tamed pets are mostly wild tames except for a cupple that were chosen for light armor.

Yep I noticed that.

I did convert one pet and it kept its resistance of 60 physical and zero everything else.

Something went wrong somewhere I think.

Oh well, Ill manage with the few wild ones I have and just keep hoping.

Thanks all who posted.

I'm waiting, myself...

I don't have any secret information to base this on, I'm just tired of deleting items affected by the conversion process, and I figure waiting on my pets won't hurt them, or me, as much as converting them now.

I've already given up on that and decided to just make new ones and see what wild ones would be of interest.
