There are some wobbles in the exact numbers, leading me to believe that the internals of the system are done as a table and not as a formula. *shrug*

By the Way, on my german realm there is a little bit different of the exp. My cat is 64 and need 113739 exp, a Char on the same level need 682300. The Result is 16,66%. Not a real different that counts, but a diff.

A good trick is to focus on mobs who fight at a range, so you’re not depending on the pet to keep the foe out of range. Scryer’s rep-targets usually include a lot of ranged foes, Casters, the archers from the easter Netherstorm camps, prime locations to level your pet, and you can fetch some extra coin/rep from the drops.

Devilhunter, you said that you are not able to get any XP on your new boar? Make sure you are killing things that would give you XP (if you weren’t level 70, that is) — which probably means level 63+.

I am a 70 level hunter, just got a 27 level boar, and am not able to get training point or xp for the pet after 2 hours. Any ideas out there?

Maybe I missed it, but no one seems to have commented on the fact that with the new patch and pet leveling changes it is easier to pursue quests AND level your pets. Before the patch keeping two pets at level while pursuing quests (particularly in my case as I have a proclivity to dwarf hunter’s who pursue Darnassus factions points to gain exalted by level 40) meant that every 7 or 8 levels I would occasionally have to devote 1 whole level or a 1.5 levels to only grinding on creeps to get my pets up. Now it is easier to balance it all. Seems like a small thing but it keeps the game interesting for me, not to mentions allowing me to pursue some quests that didn’t fit the math before.

YES, Mania I did that exactly. I went and measured how much xp I was getting with the spellcasters in Shadowmoon valley, the elemental plateau and then the blood elves near the mana forges in netherstorm. My pet is level 66, and the required xp is 0 – 122 000 to reach level 67. None of these areas could beat out level 63 mobs. Level 63 mob gives your pet ~~500 xp. Level 67-71 mob ~~ 700-790 xp. The level 63 mob dies in 3 hits, where as the 67 plus mobs take more time to kill, aggro other mobs too easily, and use up mana ( you dont really have to drink at all with 63 mobs). So yes, I answered my own question that it is better to grind 63 mobs than 70.

By the way, Humar was level 23 and going to 60 was not a problem at all, but the lvl 60- 70 is a painful painful grind, all 100 k plus per level.
