[p]Pets
With the release of pets comes the release of a new original zone to Fantasy Online 2, Whispering Wilds!

While in the Whispering Wilds you'll help pet trainers get back their stolen pet food, collect special drops for pet fanatics and most importantly, collect Pet Eggs to unlock pets and enhance your gameplay and builds!

That's not the only place you can get pets! Mobs around all zones will have pets added to them. A list on release day will be provided to help you on your hunt!

Normal, Mega and Uber Pets in Whispering Wilds
The 4 core pets that you can obtain in Whispering Wilds are the Wyvern, Owl, Urshound and Wolf! These 4 pets will be spawning in the wilds in all their forms! Spawning? Forms? That's right! You'll need to fight these pets as mobs to have a chance at their pet egg drop. The forms are the varying levels of these 4 specific pets. Normal pets are level 30, Mega pets are level 60 and Uber pets are level 90!

Normal vs Uber Pets from everywhere else
Unlike the 4 special pets in Whispering Wilds these pets have two variations, Normal or Uber. Normal pets are pretty self-explanatory but Uber pets are the better versions of these pets. They will have small increases to the bonuses they give you along with unique color palettes making them stand out from the normals!

Requirements and Functionality[/p]

• [p]All Pets will require you to be Rebirthed to cast[/p]
• [p]You can collect Pets at any level, even pre-Rebirth, but won't be able to use them until you've Rebirthed[/p]
• [p]You can enter Whispering Wilds at any level[/p]
• [p]You can't cast pets on others[/p]
• [p]Pets Eggs will be listable on the market[/p]

[p]

[p]Tier 5 Gear
The day has arrived! Tier 5 Armor, Weapons, Books and Rings can be crafted inside the Temple of Lost Souls! This time round you'll be able to craft your weapons with the armor crafter and don't forget to get your One-Handed weapons as well.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Left Hook Rework and Rank 4
Strength needed a little bit of love in the skill department. Yes, I see you're all still using Vampiric Blade... Sooooo a rework to Left Hooks energy cost, damage values and cast time was needed. This skill will be doing more damage than Vampiric Blade without the healing aspect. Making it a better skill for Boss DPS and high HP mob grinding.
