lol. i am avaraging one in 4days atm.
i beleave its a random chance. similar to that for 2k quests (where you have to bring an often rare item, pay gold and then have a chance of a 2k item. eats your gold fast)
Well, I have been at this for a couple of weeks now.
The clock ticked to a new day just over an hour ago, I was in the neighbourhood.
I checked, I finally got my first one!
Darn near dropped it, I was so excited. You'd think at at the price he's selling them for he want to sell them more often.
At this rate it will be the end of June before I get to the poor ptery and he/she/it will be dead!
keep in mind that quests are designed for the avarage or lower lvl but meeting requirements accounts to take a long time to finish. realy quests should take you occupied till the next map release. high lvls might be able to do them in days but that was realy not their purpose.
the challenge, the anticipation, the grinding needed, the frustation of another failure. it all adds flavor.
This is a walk up and ask and he says: I'll check --- he's a merchant, not a quest to hunt or find anything
Plenty have had the pet within days of the map opening ...
i know him.
these who got the pet.in the first days saved their 20k pots which they got from the skull key and other key chests on the map below.
i myself got the pet on day 5 i think. still.buying pots whenever available. there are already other uses for them (although i only know of another use for high lvl atm. i mainly use them to loan out to friends atm to be returned when they can buy them.
i realy like this chance to succeed method instead of just high prices since its the same for all. no matter the lvl or credit card.
you could also make some gold with the pots you manage to get after you get pet. theres always some to rather pay double or more gold instead of waiting x more days.
if someone would know he would get one tomorrow he might not buy... but maybe hes got to wait 10days if hes unlucky. so its a real chance for non high lvls to get gold to buy those 1k legs or 500gloves etc
