Guild Wars 2

I’ve spent over an hour looking for juvenile companions on my level 12 ranger. I’ve used guides, videos, maps, everything; I know the pets are there they just wont show up in my game. Why? Is it my level? Do I need a skill? It might be something obvious but I cant find my issue on google so I am asking here. Let me know. Thanks.

Anet removed the pets in the starter zones for some reason. Something to do with the New Player Experience, and that having too many pet options would be confusing for new players, and having so many pets at such a low level is so complicated that many of the new players might leave the game if it wasn’t simplified.

No sarcasm intended. True story, because….metrics and computer data and numbers, that’s why!

You need to get past level 15 and go into higher level zones in order to find pets now. There might be a few in lower level zones still but I don’t know where they are.

There’s a few that are in Cities, like the Krytan Drakehound, Fern Hound, Pink Moa, and others. You’re kind of out of luck for other ones though, as Chrispy said.

Fewer juvenile animals in starter zones now, but there are still a few, like the raven at raven riddle area in wayfarers and the whiptail devourer which is periodically (depending on event chain) there at devourers mouth on ashford plain.
