Petopia has the honor of hosting a great new pet resource: a Visual Pet Skill Calculator made by Draketh of Moonglade EU. As you can see from the screenshot below, it looks quite a bit like a character talent calculator. Very stylish!
Edit: The Link to Build function is now operational, thanks to some quick work by Draketh to fix my mistake. :> Sorry about the delay!
when i try to go to the visual pet skill calculator page on petopia it just shows visual pet skill calculator. Is it broken?
Hmm. I’m not having a problem with it. It is a Flash app — can you view Flash?

this works fine for me
on the other hand
http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/articles/resources/petcalc_visual.shtml
doesn’t work.
somehow it is embedded wrong or something like that
I’m afraid I’m having the same problem as Zaklu. Judging from the screenshot it looks completely awesome. I tried with both Safari and Firefox (both on Mac) without any luck. I have Flash installed (YouTube works fine), and yes, I did turn off my ad blocker.
A small update to my above comment:
I tried opening the Flash file directly (http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/articles/resources/petcalc_visual.swf), and it worked fine.
Okay, I found a problem I had missed (well, another problem in addition to the Link to Build Button — today is just not my day) and fixed that. So if you could try again and see if you’re able to see it now?
works fine now (except for the Link to Build-Button ;))
somehow shift-click doesn’t work in the embedded version.
might be a problem on my end.
Enigma: I am having similar problems in Firefox and Safari but not IE. I’ll see what I can find out about that. Thanks!
ya it works now! cept for link to build and shift click. thanks mania!
Everything works now (including shift-clicking) except link to build. I tried it in both Safari and Firefox , both on Mac, with the newest version of Flash installed.
Shift-Click in embedded version does not work for me. It just increases the skill as if it was a simple click.
It does work with the direct SWF.
XP SP2, FF 2.0.0.4, Flash 9
First off, kudos! This is really nice, great visual, nice setup – Blizzard will most certainly incorporate this
steal this for inclusioninto the game.But, (and you had to know there was one), it would be nice to be able to set pet level and loyalty so that the appropriate level skills can be chosen. I write software for my day job, so I’ll understand if it’s not done tomorrow
Thank you for your comments everyone! I’m passing them all on to Draketh, the author of this fine calculator.
Until this calculator allows you to input the level of your pet, displays the training points available at that level and displays the training point cost of each level of each skill(as the previous version did), it is vastly inferior to that version. Since I have to write down these values & refer back to them to evaluate a particular build and extrapolate different builds, by hand, it is easier to just use a pencil & paper. Just like Buzzard….err…Blizzard you have thrown out something that worked very well and replaced it with pretty pictures.
By the previous version, do you mean the other pet skill calculator that Petopia also hosts, here?
Nice! I was just looking for an updated pet calc. yesterday. Thanks a bunch!
Fantastic!
