I am currently leveling 2 lower level pets and man is it tedious. I have also found that Firewing point in Terrokar is a great spot to level a pet if you are 70, the casters there stand off and die fast. Thanks to this I can hold off grinding on those pets and move on to other more interesting things untill the patch is released! This is great news!

Per level seems to be around the same margin, though I'd have to think real hard about what I needed then and what I need now. *Laughs* As a hunter, if you instance or group up more with your pet, its easier for them to keep up with you, since they get the same amount of experience in a group or not.

Does any one know with how much the quest experience was increased? And whether we need less experience per level between 20-60? In other words, does this put us back at effectively having pets level again at the speed we level? As for the errors... it looks like they changed some of their functions and now have some <i>dead</i> parameters. At least it’s not getting worse.

I'm currently working on levelling a Frostsaber Pride watcher, got him to 61 so far and boy has it felt like a chore, mostly been grinding at Firewing point in Terrokar but I'll certainly be pleased to have a slightly easier life with the next patch, I'm sure they could have made it better and perhaps they will but its not too bad an improvement for now I guess.

I think that means that you could keep two pets levelled so long as you were getting at least a third of your XP from killing mobs, and 3 pets with 50% of your XP from mobs. (I suspect it gets a little more complicated that that when the pet is lower level than the hunter, though...)

Outlands introduced all hunters the the problem of not being able to raise multiple pets, due to a severe amount of experience coming from quests, and with 2.3 going live, the same thing is hitting lower level hunters as well. It limits all of us in what we can and can't raise, even more so when you consider the sad number of pet selection at high level. This isn't even adding in constant pet nerfs. Not a single new pet family skill has been added since the expansion, either. I know its not this way to everyone, but to me, I play the hunter class for the pets. I've had my wolf Luposi since before his shadow damage was taken away, and will most likely have him until the end of WoW. This increase is some pet love, but its one good thing, when we have had so many bad ones tossed our way. Maybe things will start looking up now....
