If you raise a wolf as your pet in Lineage 2 for the first time , don't expect it can survive all the way , for Wolf leveling is also very difficult as your character leveling ...Now read this article ans learn how to levelup your wolf .
If you think you had it bad, you should have tried it during C1. Full level loss and droppage of everything on death! Ack! Well they've fixed that, so you got it much easier now in C3.
Hate Is Key There is nothing worse then letting yer pet get aggro, so the number one rule above all is this: Keep the mob trained on yourself. There are a number of different ways to do this in Lineage2 Adena:
Use a long range Lineage2 Adena skill of yer choice to aggro the mob. This includes hate, life drain, wind shackle, sleep.
Use a short range skill of yer choice to aggro the mob, but strong enough to take focus again if the mob attacked yer wolf first. This includes skills like: Spoil, shield stun, etc. Note that seeding does not add aggro, so don't use it as an opener.
Use a soul shot macro: soul shot, /attack, /delay 2, /petattack. This allows ye some time to build up hate before the wolf even begins... costs a little coin, but compared to ss spammage.. it's affordable.
Two rules to remember:
Never run away from an aggressive mob. They will immediately change their target and focus on yer wolf. I believe this was done to prevent bots from effectively raising wolves - as it does take a bit of thinking to keep yer pet out of trouble.
Mobs that run away must DIE before reaching their "home base". These include mobs like the Ol' Mahum, and the orcs at the orc's barracks. These mobs will run away, and come back with buddies and will, fer some reason, focus on yer pet until its dead - no matter how much hate spells ye try and throw.
What Mobs Should I Hunt? Any mob that yer pet can handle 5 solid hits from make fer good wolf food. Just remember that stupid mobs are yer best friend. Stupid mobs are any mobs that:
Attack 1 target - namely the one building the most hate. This is improtant because it guarantees that yer pet won't get hit unless she's doing more damage then yerself, which should be never if yer set up properly.
