What did my pet just do!

[Pikel]

Only in the last few weeks have I even noticed this but my pet has been running off and attacking alot of mobs (espically ones that link) randomly. It first happened when I was helping a friend kill dark spark and linked up about 15 demons. I counted the kills because it blew my mind we thought SE started a beseiged at dark spark or something.

Since then it has happened a handful of times while doing VNM's inside abyssea. As the hate is on my pet I am not overly concerned about this it's just a waste of time to have to kill my nm then 10 more links after my pet runs off into the distance for some solo fun.

Is this a glitch or am I doing something I do not know about? These monsters don't attack me during fights. One time I went afk during nm fight. When I came back I did not notice my pet was gone so I spawned the Tier 1 vnm in the area for upgrade. When i sicked my pet on it he came back with 5 spiders.

Beast pets will run after mobs who get on their hate list. They act just like normal Enemies. Hitting the target with the Highest Enmity.

If your pet was fighting a mob and got nuked/hit by another mobs AoE/spell, Later on the mob he's fighting might drop lower on his Enmity level and he'll go Off after the mob who hit him before.

Its nothing new, its annoying, But Jug pets follow the same Enmity/attack patterns as normal mobs. (by that i mean they attack based on enmity)

Yes I see that all the time with them flipping mobs on one's I am engaged what I am talking about here is I kill the NM now I am fighting nothing then my pet runs off and attacks other stuff. Other stuff that if it was on the mobs hate list it would have been at camp killing me. I do not sleep these mobs I do not run from them or deal with them or see them in any form. I kill my nm and stop fighting then my pet goes and finds new prey.

i see this all the time in abyssea. from what i noticed. you are killing mobs that linked, and while finishing off the few mobs or NM or w/e linked.. the original had repopped and the pets still recognize them as a target.. much like when you attack a worm that dives... when it repops the pet already knows to attack it. its only bc of abyssea's rapid respawn rates that i think we see it happening now. i assume the glitch was always there.

Since we're on the subject of strange things that pets do. Could someone clarify what level of TH that dipper has? i just got 7 drops off a Dusk lizard while farming for Sirrush pop item. i thought it only had TH2 and many people say that it doesnt build over time but it IS a thf so it seems very sketchy. anyone have some actual testing they can throw out there?

Since all TH does is increase the chance of getting a drop (I think as a reroll?) there's no real way to say for sure. As a 90 thf who starts every fight with TH5 I can tell you the only thing I've noticed consistently with TH is that if I get a message that the TH effect has increased my chances of getting anything seem to go down, not up. In any event, the consensus on Yuly seems to be TH2.

Yep. Although the tests on Wiki aren't a particularly large sample, they're within a reasonable margin of error to indicate Yuly has TH2.

yeah it was really strange though. i was fighting those lizards for hours and only getting 1-2 drops then i'd get like a 4 item drop then an hour later i got the 7 item drop.

Actually this as been removed from my game. As a result I now have to kill everything my pet brings into camp. I do appreciate your attempt at explaining this issue thou.
