Is it just me or....Follow

Did they seriously mess up pet xp? I tamed one of the undead eagles in western plaguelands last night and took it into heroics after about 4 runs it only had 4 bars (when usually only 2 is needed to level a pet from 77-80)

I was just about to post that!!!

I only expected like 1 run today to get my worm from 79-80, last week it took 3 runs to get to 77-80 on my corehound, but this one run barely got me one bar. So yes I just noticed that too, which totally sucks because I was going to use this time to power all my pets to 80 before Cata but I guess not.

It probably has something to do with exp needed to get 80-81 and exp given by wrath mobs at 80. I imagine pets will start leveling at the normal speed again when we start killing cata mobs.

Probably a combination of level 80 XP scaling relatively badly now that it's just a point on a new line rather than being the top of the old line, and the nerf to instance XP.

I thought the nerf to instance XP only involved quests and not mob XP?

I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be just quest exp, since you usually got about double exp from dungeon quests.

So appearently ther reason pets were getting so little xp is because at level 60 you get 10% xp from vanilla mobs at 70 10% from BC mobs and at 80 you get 10% from Wrath mobs, its all part of blizzard trying to encourage players to move on to the next area when they reach the appropriate level (and supposidly at 85 you get 10% from cata mobs so 84-85 for pets is gonna suck XD)

It's not intended to effect our pets but I guess at the moment it does, probably since they get a percentage of what we get and if we only get 10% then they get a tiny amount. Hopefully it'll be fixed.

I am NOT looking forward to leveling 5 pets from 84-85 at a snail's pace...

I've been rotating all my pets so that they are all the same level as me so I don't get any too far behind.

Ok did some testing today pets are getting full xp at 85 so no need to worry ^-^.

Edit: Yay ghostcrawler is mine ^-^
