Welcome to the Wizard101 Message Boards

Hi, I have a few questions, as the title says.

1.How do you know if you have a good pet?
I hear that having good pet stats overall(strength, power, will, etc)means you have a good pet. My dream pet: Damage, critical, resistance, and/or fairy.

2. Is there a way you can train your pet to get these talents?(Fairy, resistance, damage)
Sure, the stats(strength, for example) say that they can give damage and other things. Is this true? If you know your pet is capable of having this talent, is there a specific pet skill you train in?

3. Does pedigree have some importance?
So does a good pedigree mean you have good pet talents? Or does it just mean something for the pet's stats?

4. Talents: What does a pet's stats have to do with them?
Online, I see talents such as Fairy(Strength + Will + Power = 200) < For Example. What does this even mean? If someone could explain what it means, and what those stats have to do with getting a talent, that'd be awesome.

5. Should I just feed my pet random snacks and train it in any area?
Again with the stat thing, but this question is just for clarification. I hear the pet talents are random, so whatever you feed or train your pet, that doesn't change what talent you'll get next. I also hear that the pet's talents are determined once they're an egg, is this true?

6. What do some people mean when you can train your pet in specific stats that it can "change the outcome"?
I heard this from a friend, but I wasn't sure what he meant. Can someone, if anyone, clarify?

I have more to come, just can't think of more right now. :P Thanks for checking this out and answering/trying to answer my questions!

1. A pet with a combination of talents that suits your playstyle is a good pet.

2. The talents are set when the pet hatches. Nothing can influence them. The stats affect the power of talents that give those things.

3. A high pedigree means that you have lots of high ranked talents on your pet. The pedigree is just the sum total of your pet's talents' ranks.

4. The stats improve all talents except selfish, card giving, may cast and derby talents. The kinds of talents each stat improves are listed when you mouse over the stat.

5. Feed your pet the highest ranked snacks you have, if you're training your pet for you to use in battle, try to find high level reagents that boost Strength, Agility, Will and Power, as they improve those talents. Play the game you enjoy the most if you want to have fun, or the fastest game (dance game) if you want to progress quickly.

6. You can't change the pet's talents in any way.

where can i get a good pet that some times heals you like spritely or better ?

Every level 58 school quest pet has a chance at spritely. For 10,000 gold you can buy a pet starfish in Celestia from the pet/deck vendor, it has the chance at spritely and spell proof (+1-10% resist all).

There's also the Sea Dragon, bought with Crowns or dropped from The Trial of the Spheres.

1) what constitutes a good pet depends on your play-style. but, generally speaking, pets with tangible stat talents (resist, damage, may cast healing spells) are considered by the majority to be 'good'.

2) lots of hatching. pet talents are chosen at the moment the pet is created, based on what talents the parents had. no snack or stat will change that.

3) not necessarily. from what i have read online, pets with higher pedigrees are often those who give cards.

4) absolutely nothing; all talents are random, although 'perfect' pets are generally considered to be those with all stats at 250 (max).

5) yes. your pet's talents are predetermined and nothing will change that. you can, however, feed it snacks it likes for a slight boost to xp gain.

6) you can't. your friend is either lying to you or simply misinformed.
