There was one thing in that game that I thought would be great for WoW hunters: pet suplements. In SWG all pets start at lvl 1 as you hatch them from an egg. So in order to help lvl them up to your current lvl, you can buy (fairly expensive and have to be crafted by someone i believe) supplements for your pet. You give your pet this supplement and for a certain amount of time they get a HUGE xp buff. I forget what it was, but i want to say it was something like 500% xp gain. Made catching your lil buddy up a LOT easier. I recently hopped over to SWG to try it out (got bored and came back though – icky game).

In Terokkar Forest there is an enclave of blood elves, with a bunch of blood elf warlocks (no warlock minions, though!) that are so easy to kill it's ridiculous. Over a year ago, I "lost" my boar and Blizz couldn't rez her. Well, I had tried to level one up, but found it too difficult. At 70, however, and with the right gear (I have nothing that you couldn't get at the AH, and not a single purple item), your power is considerable against lvl 63-65s. Well, in 8 hours of grinding I leveled a lvl 10 crag boar to lvl 60. It took about 1.5 hours to get it to 61, and about the same to 62. At that point, it held aggro most of the time in Terokkar and Nagrand, so you can just grind like normal. This is pre-patch 2.3.2, also! The whole key is just to fight the warlocks, who attack you from range. I put my pet on passive and just watched her "ding!" time and time again. Also, I made a few hundred gold in loot over this time. At lvl 70, leveling a low-level pet is very, very easy, but time-consuming.

On the one hand it's hard for me not to say "You had your chance at Princess when you were level 10 and you didn't take it so live with it." You want to level a lower pet for cosmetic reasons then you take the grind with that choice. But then on the other hand Blizzard adds more lower level skins either by design or accident and I can't say "Well you should have gotten that pet at the appropriate level.", because it didn't exist for you at that level. As far as the increase in pet exp I don't believe Blizzard introduced that to help with bringing much lower level pets up to our level I think they just intend to make it easier for us to keep 2 pets leveling with us.

(Taken from a GM I spoke with on the Muradin server) "Why would you tame a level 30 pet anyways? There's several other pets at your current level of 70." "I like the unique skin." "So you tame a beast 40 levels below you? That'll be a very hard grind..." I WISH i was joking about that conversation. She (I assume it was a she because the GM's name was feminine sounding) insisted that I get a 70 pet because I was already 70. =/ Like hell I would, I didn't go through the hassle of taming a ghost wolf if I didn't intend to level him. And now he's at 52. I found the greatest way to level these guys even after 60 (because I did it with my pet Rak'shiri who had fallen behind) is to run instances. I've been 3 manning Slave Pens (3 70's) and 4 manning Steamvaults, getting around 1512 exp per kill for the pet. When I did SV with Rakshiri at 68, he still got 700-1000+ exp depending on the mob.

On live it's impossible for your pet to get more than 450 or so exp per kill no matter how high the mob is compared to your pet.

They need like 75% cut back then that would seriously help.

This buff is a bunch of crap and doesn't help those of us who want to tame a low level pet at 70. They should make it so they get exp even if the mobs are grey to me. That would solve a lot right there, but it will still be a royal pain in the butt to get a low one up there. I work fifty hours a week and can only play for an hour or two each night, it will take me till next year to level the bugger up. Bollocks.

At 60, I'm sorry to say guys, the lvling reduction cuts out. My wolf (Fenrir) is currently 64 on Laughing Skull, and those 4 lvls took about the same amount of grinding as the 30-60. So get ready for that grind, pet will get about 701 xp per kill for anything between lvl 62-68. I'm at about 240 someodd kills per lvl, and it only keeps going up.
