Tamed Pet suddenly not available anymore "you dont have a pet"

[BABELEE 0]

hi, 

im new to Nighthaven and am having some trouble leveling as a Hunter.

Im Level 11 now and sience lvl 10 i needed to tame a venomhide Scorpid 4 times, because it just suddenly wasnt in my pet slot anymore.

i think it might be a bug. Is this issue heard of?

can i do anything (or not do) in order to keep my pet?

it seemst like, when i walk a larger distance my pet gets into a fight, i just runn further without it and it just gone at some point. whisteling doesnt bring it back and when i click revive this message appears: "you dont have a pet"

 

thx for any help.

You have to immediately start feeding your pet to increase happiness/loyalty. If you don't, the pet will run away.

Hi,

WTF? really?  man im so used to the newer WOWs... XD

i mean its crazy... the pet just dissapears after like 5 mins.

Thx man, ill try this out rightaway XD

Yeah I don't think newer versions of WoW have any kind of pet management other than "attack/stay/follow" right? Vanilla was so much more difficult and had many more things to manage.

Love and feed it 🙂

Happy Pet; Happy Hunter.

And if you don't know you're supposed to feed it you probably don't know that you're going to have tame a lot more pets to get higher lvl skills and more different skills. Pets were a pain in Vanilla. Everything is handed to Hunters now in wow.

Ok, thx for adwice.

can it be, that the pet dissapears to fast? even when its green?

i just tamed a new boar and was in orgrimmar. gave him food so it was green. i walked around in orgrimmar for 15 mins. then i was afk for 30 mins. when i came back, the pet was gone...

is that normal as well?

If you are going to AFK at lower levels, I would log out back to character selection until you return.

so, it is normal for a pet to go from green to red and dissapear in 45 mins?

you say at lower levels... does that change at higher levels?

is there someplace i can check?

thx

You just got your pet so his loyalty level is still at the "*&%$ YOU" stage and will leave when he wants.  Feed him VERY often to keep him happy and make his damage 125%. Keep using him in fights to get his loyalty up to max and he will stay forever. Get yourself some good hunter addons for pets to show you his stats (and show if its a male or female) and when you should be feeding him.  And read this too  https://classic.wowhead.com/guides/classic-wow-hunter-pets

 

There were several stages of Loyalty:

Rebellious (Rank 1) 

During this stage, your pet's happiness fluctuated a great deal. If the pet or yourself were constantly dying, or if you dismissed the pet too often, he could begin to become very hard to handle and might have left you.

Unruly (Rank 2) 

You had begun to show the pet who the Alpha is but you still hadn't totally convinced him. You needed to keep feeding and treating the pet well.

Submissive (Rank 3) 

You won the pet over to some degree and it was ready to work harder at becoming your faithful companion. Feeding became a little less strenuous at this point, requiring less food to keep the pet happy.

Dependable (Rank 4) 

That's it, you were the boss unless you messed up by letting the food bowl stay empty too long. The pet had fully accepted you as its master and things were good. Your pet required less food to remain happy.

Faithful (Rank 5) 

It would have been extremely hard at this point to run the pet off except by a concerted plan of neglect and abuse.

Best Friend (Rank 6) 

Ahhh, isn't he cute? Your pet was now a furry rug at your feet when you settle down in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and a good book. At this loyalty level your pet required the least food to remain happy.

At this stage of the pet keeping game, you would really have had to work hard to get rid of your pet. Only by letting its happiness rating fall to unacceptable levels and remain there for an extended amount of time could you undo all the trust and faith your pet now had in you.
