Last time I went off on a little design diatribe about fishing and quests that make you run too far. But what I didn’t notice was that while killing all those murlocs, I picked up the quest for Captain Sander’s Hidden Treasure. So tonight I headed off to find the treasure!
Since I was testing how Scorpid Poison scales with a hunter’s Ranged Attack Power recently, I decided to extend those tests and see what other pet skills scale with RAP. My results were … mixed.
Pet skills that appear to scale with the hunter’s RAP include:
The Hunter’s Mark has a great series of articles in progress on how to find the info you need. It’s a great rundown of general and specific resources for WoW knowledge — and I’m not just saying that because she mentions Petopia!
Edit: The Hunter’s Mark has just moved to a new domain, so I’ve updated these links to point there.
There have been a number of information tidbits circulating since BlizzCon about how Blizzard intends to increase the pace of leveling from 1-58 so that new characters can get to the upper levels faster. In recent days, we’ve seen more official information about this.
First, Drysc said on the WoW forums that there will be a change to the experience curve and gain before the WotLK expansion. More interesting, however, is what the MMO site Curse learned in an interview with Tigole, a developer, at the Leipzig Games Convention:
Levels between 20 and 60 are going to have the experience required per-level reduced. Not only that, though – the experience rewarded by quests is being increased by around 30%.
This is interesting news on its own, but I admit to being somewhat concerned about how this might affect pet leveling. There are two possible difficulties here.
I finally got the page for pets with special behaviors up on Petopia. You can find it, as you might expect, under the Special Pets menu. Let me know if I missed anything!
