Jarec finally becomes Devarien's Best Friend!!!

After what has felt like several months, Devarien has finally gotten Jarec's loyalty level to Best Friend. Man that was a horrible grind! Now, I must admit that I haven't focused my playing on getting Jarec's loyalty up, so maybe it could have gone faster. However, one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that your pet does not gain any loyalty by just being out and about with you. Loyalty is only gained when you fight experience yielding mobs. I learned this the hard way. I decided I would work on Jarec's loyalty while leveling Annariel. I thought that by Devarien helping out Annariel, Jarec would get at least a couple of loyalty levels. On and off, Devarien helped Annariel from level 53 to 62 and Jarec did not gain one level of loyalty! It wasn't until we started fighting level 63 mobs, which were green to Devarien, that Jarec gained his first loyalty level. I want to thank Mania for her great work on loyalty in her blog. It really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong =)

Now that I have finished with Jarec, I decided to go out and tame my 3rd pet. I picked a wind serpent from netherstorm. I've never had a wind serpent before and the idea of a pet that has a ranged attack was intriguing to me. Also, the fact that it was level 69 was a big selling point since I hate to grind...lol. Plus, it looks very cool too! I only played with it for a little while last night, but it seemed to go through focus extremely fast. I guess I might have to micro manage lightning breath and not leave it on auto-cast. Anyway, here is a pic of my new wind serpent!
