Ugh, so I finally decide to make a new ranger alt and go tame the small sylvanthic pup. Everything goes nice, I get it to bond in like 5 min (apparently faster than those on that Tantallon Research site so I think I'm ahead on everything). 5-6ish hours in, it FINALLY grows into a 'trained wolf' but still can't start to train it to ravage, carry (i guess this is at a higher level anyways maybe?), or even scratch its ears yet. So I keep killing, building up its dex and con since I can't do anything about the other stats that I can think of right now. 2-3 hours into that, I am killing a grey wolf and the damn thing gets owned while I am checking out a sports (Yea, sports, I'll deny everything else... *twiddle*) website and dies. Now, it might of had a better chance if my character wasn't working on 2ha (skill 9 right now) and instead using like shortsword which I raised to 25, but still... I PUT 8 freaking hours into that thing (30 mins less that what I put into this character). I could of probably taken it if I killed it myself, why the hell couldn't my wolf...
Now, here I am, lvl 9, can't get easy access to those pups again and don't think I am capable to taking on that mother wolf.
God damn these things suck...
For some reason I am almost tempted to suicide and start over which would at least put me back on par with the new pet I choose.

level up with normal wolves, bond one at 19 waiting for a pup to grow will slow you down too much

Yea, I went and used some harrkes to clear out that wolf to get that small pup again, so back to grinding it out. I am such a glutton for punishment. And anyone who suggests I go to some stupid house of Gaius should be shot...
Anyways, I think my problem with these wolves is that if I am using a wolf that I have had since pretty much level 1 and had it killing along side me always, I would expect it to be around my level as I advance. I think Paldin just likes to think that we all suck balls and its takes us like 1 day of playtime to get up to lvl 10, and then 2 more days to hit lvl 19. Its kinda like those skill formulas he used when new combat was first introduced with that room. I think all of us are more than capable of getting higher skills than what that room gave us at the xp we were at.

Umm... no, just irritated and tired of raping fuzzies?
Although, it helps when I think of you as I do it...

Puking? Hmm... morning sickness. Damnit, Calvin. You were supposed to use protection! Now we're gonna have little Pillars running around (well, other than the ones he made with his wife)!

Hey, Wolverine. Let me clarify all this ranger confusion for you. I'll do it all in one word, to try to help you understand it. Not because you're stupid, not what I'm heading towards. But, because they're a difficult class to deal with, with all those fancy better-than-other-class abilities. Okay. So, let me sum up the ranger/wolf stuff for you. In one word. Here goes...

There. I hope that helped.

These god damn stupid wolves take too god damn long to raise. I had my alt to level 14 and I was working my wolf pretty damn diligently, paying attention to when it reached various stages, stuffing and scratching and letting it tank. But holy fucking jesus christ 14 levels of fuzzies gets fucking annoying and boring.
Now, I won't profess to be the greatest of levelers. However, I think I am pretty damn patient. Before the manor bedroom changes, I would hang out at level 5 for the free healing (I don't like the ship all that much) maxing all the skills that I want to work on for that alt. By the time I was done, I was at ~50k, ready for a quick boost to level 10. Took a lot of time.
So, I finally get my fucking twit to turn a color. Here I am all stoked, but the little pissant is still TOO GOD DAMN FUCKING WEAK. I decide to start branching out a little. Brunham small fuzzies are getting too easy, brown bears in the forest are too rare, the burnham does knock the little faggot down to sw so I have to wait and heal the goddamn thing each time I go for a little extra toughness. So, I try my hand at a few packrats.
I would try harrke, but that is way too goddamn dangerous for me and the fucking little pussy mutt with all those damn wolves. So anyways... these rats seem just at the borderline for what me and the mutt can handle. Unfortunately, they end up being just beyond, and when I run away after rescuing my wolf and then getting beat down myself, the nice rat follows and decides to pick on the wolf instead of me and bye bye dipshit.
Way before new combat and these stupid ass wolves, I had a lvl 13 ranger. I was able to easily handle harkke in those days, but never bothered with star caverns, cause I didn't know my way there. WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT HANDLE HARRKE NOW? 12 hours put into this goddamn wolf and it is still a pussy god damn little cub. Man, this burns me...
So yea, I'm not gonna be trying this shit again for a long while.

Bro... you need to quit holding back so much, and tell us how you REALLY feel!!! *duck**cower**hide*
Now you know why most players just sit there and let their wolves grow up while they idle and chat and stuff the wolves with meat will they're huge/enormous......

i refuse to play new rangers, so i'm not sure if this would work or how well, but i'd old school train wolves until 19, and then get bonded and do all of that garbage. course, that'd only work if you can stand to play the game like that, sticking your thumb up your ass and feeding wolves/staying in form to "level up".
its actually a "good" move by the admin. make people stay online long periods of time to gain epic mudpower. keeps at least a minimum number of people logged in. unfortunately it tends to make less skilled players have more power than skilled players who've worked to get wehre they are.

Yea, I guess the thing that gets me the most about them is that I am constantly killing with them and they won't grow any faster. My gf who plays very very minimally (just to see what takes up some of my time) has a large, maybe very large one and she is only lvl 12. She took a long ass time getting there, though.
I look at all the other stats people put up and it says it takes them like 10-15mins to bond. I got both of my failed attempts to bond like 5min cause I am constantly killing with them, but after that its like the same old shit as everyone else. How dull. It would be great to be able to go and say, "Hah, you took 40 hours to max your little twit out cause you were all idling and chatting on the woodfag line. Mine took only 30 cause I was actually killing shit with it."
