My New Pet

As I mentioned in my minipost, I decided to pick up a Ghost Saber for Razorbang. Over the weekend I started the grind to get it. It turns out it was not quite as easy as I thought and I learnt a few things on the way.

Level 19.

I started the search when I was still level 19. I had read that the Ghost Sabers are either level 19 or 20, so I thought I would go for the odds. As it turned out, by the time I found my Saber, I was already level 20. That's a good thing as the Saber I found was level 20.

No Pet?

Since you cannot tame a new pet when you already have a pet, the first thing I did was dismiss my existing pet. This turned out to be a big issue. I am quite the Hunter Noob and killing the Naga's in the area became very time consuming.

Dismissing Pets.

I decided that I could have a pet on Passive and just dismiss it when the Saber spawned. I figured this would be a good solution. It turned out OK in the end.

The Grind.

My guess is I circled the camp around 50 times and looted about 10 or 15 figurines until the Saber finally spawned. When it did spawn, I was a little too slow in dismissing my pet and I was already down to 70% health by the time I started taming. As a result I died with about half a second to go.

Corpse Run.

I had no idea if the Saber would despawn or when, though I had read they did despawn at some time. I ran as fast as a corpse can, back to my body. As I resurrected, I saw the Saber fade from view. Thinking I had missed my chance, but not ready to give up, I quickly Ate and Drank up.

Tame Beast.

As I walked down the hill to where my corpse say, I really thought I had missed out. It appears my little Ghost Saber can stealth. This time I was ready for it and I got my little kitty.

Next Time?

Train level 20 skills and get Freezing Trap.
