Tamer & Combat Pets Guide[edit]

🐾 UNLEASH THE POWER OF BATTLE PETS & ENDGAME BEASTS! 🐾

The custom Pet Leveling and Battle Animal system is active on New Hope UO! All tamed pets gain experience points (XP) from combat, leveling up to Level 10 and unlocking massive stat, damage, and skill boosts.

Additionally, tamers with 120.0 Taming, 80.0 Animal Lore, and 80.0 Veterinary automatically empower selected wild creatures upon taming, assigning them specialized Tank or Damage (DPS) roles with baseline stat increases.
