Pet Skill PointsFollow

I'm fairly new to hunters, this being my first one past lvl 11, and I have noticed that my pet does not gain skill points very fast.

I read that it is supposed to be lvl*(loyalty -1), which at level 33, is 33*5 right (165), or am I missing something?

Is that calculated only every 5 or 10 levels and all levels in between they just get a couple points?

That I do know. I have had my pet since level 20, I have just noticed that the last few levels he has gained very few skill points. He gained 150 at level 30, I trained the skills, but since then he has only gained about 20 points. I was just wondering if they only gain the chunks every 10 levels instead of each level.

Maybe I am missing something completely, but is level the actual level of the pet or just 1? Because at level 30, thats 30 * (6-1) = 150, 31 * (6-1) = 155, etc.

The reason I am questioning this because at 30 I got the new armor, stamina, and resistances. I am 33 and still don't have all the resistances learned because I do not have enough skill points. Is that how its supposed to be?

I am just curious how this all works with the pets. The way I read it is that I get points every level = level * (loyalty - 1), now I know that seems a bit much, but every level does that subtract out the skills I am already using and then add the difference to the total points available? Because if that was the case then this would all make sense.

You got it right there, stop trying to over think it!!


Yes, you are not supposed to be able to train max rank of attacks, armor, stamina, and resistances at once because your pet would be a little OP. You need to give your pet a "build" and figure out where you want to spend his points.


I think I know what you mean, but you kind of worded it weird, or I might not just be reading it right. Anyways, I'll take a shot at it.

Let's say example TalentA (Rank 1) costs 5 TP. TalentA (Rank 2) costs 15 TP. You have 30 TP. You train your pet with Rank 1 and have 25 TP left. Now, you train your pet with Rank 2 and you will have 15 TP left. This is because the 5 TP you spent on Rank 1 count towards the purchase of Rank 2.

Hope this helps.

Happy Hunting!

I think I am confusing myself...this is how I literally translated the points system....assuming loyality level is 6

Level 30 = 150
Level 31 = 155
Level 32 = 160
Level 33 = 165

Now, my problem is nowhere did it tell me that this is the amount of talent points you will have at that level. I think I realized I over looked that. Because taking that literally I should have 630 points if I didn't spend any.

Now I realize you just get 5 per level if you are at 6 loyality, which would be a better way to say it.

So basically per level you get...

Loyality 6: 5
Loyality 5: 4
Loyality 4: 3
Loyality 3: 2
Loyality 2: 1
Loyality 1: 0

When you pet dings you get 5 points (at level 6 loyalty).

When your pets loyalty gains a level you get points equal to the pet level.

So at level 30, a pet ding would give you 1 - 5 points but a loyalty ding would give you 30 points.

I feel you man, I feel you.

Work should be canceled due to lack of interest!

I tried to petition for that but my boss would not give =(

Yes it does, which is why when you tame some pets it starts out with a negative amount of points.
