Pets without talents are pretty much pointless. 1st Generation pets, even fully trained, are also pretty useless. If you want a useful pet, you need to put the time into hatching and training pets.
I want to hear views on whether training is useful or not useful Any ideas are open to the floor
I've gotten some great talents on 1st generation pets, and no luck at all hatching so I don't waste my time and gold anymore. It all depends on the 1st generation pet you have to begin with. One with a lot of 'common' or uncommon' talents I usually don't bother with. I aim for those epic talents.
