  • Pets get Complicated

    Remember that old F.A.Q. Question? Well, it’s back up.

    In addition to the Cartel Coins, each of our retail partners offer an exclusive mini-pet that will be added to your account when you redeem your Cartel Coins Card here on this website.
    The currently available pets are:

    BestBuy: Arctic Manka Lynx – Renowned for its speed and grace, this Arctic Manka Lynx will loyally follow you on your adventures across the galaxy.
    GameStop: Lobelode – The Lobelode is hardy and persistent, at home in even the most dangerous and exotic environments you could visit.
    EU Retailers: Forest Nekarr Cat – Known for its agility and viciousness, the Forest Nekarr Cat will loyally explore the galaxy with you.

    The one in bold is the newest edition–the pet that has only started popping up recently. The question now is if they are still from space pirate packs or if this is really where they were from all along. 🙁

    Also, the Gree Event is returning tomorrow so for those who were good and don’t suck like me, you should be able to get more stuff!

  • IMPORTANT: Cartel Coin Cards with Pets may not be available

    At least right now. I ended up receiving an e-mail (from the awesome Eric Musco) about it and it turns out that is still being finalized!

    It turns out, that knowledge base question went live on the site in error. The information contained in it, isn’t actually correct. What I know right now is that our information regarding retailers, Cartel Coins, and any additional promotions isn’t actually confirmed yet.

    The question IS being removed from the site (and thus, I will be updating the pet guides and whatnot accordingly). When it IS finalized and confirmed, they will be properly announcing this so for now, let’s just keep on the look-out!

    On the brightside, we don’t have to stalk Gamestop and Best Buy just yet 😛

    EDIT:

    THIS IS A MISTAKE. PLEASE READ HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

    First, thanks to Kalreth and Telanis for the heads up 🙂 I only got home now so yeah XD

    So, according to this lovely support question thingy… well:

    In addition to the Cartel Coins, each of our retail partners will offer an exclusive mini-pet that will be added to your account when you redeem your Cartel Coins Card here on this website.

    The currently available pets are:
    BestBuy: Arctic Manka Lynx – Renowned for its speed and grace, this Arctic Manka Lynx will loyally follow you on your adventures across the galaxy.
    GameStop: Lobelode – The Lobelode is hardy and persistent, at home in even the most dangerous and exotic environments you could visit.
    We hope to make Cartel Coin Cards available for purchase through more retailers and in more territories soon. Please visit www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com for updates.

    Yep, that means BestBuy and GameStop will have special cards with the pets. From what it sounds like, they will be $20 cards so yeah. I haven’t seen any yet and there aren’t any on their websites, but I will be keeping an eye out and at the very least, update the pet guide.

    I’m expecting the cards to start popping up closer to Christmas, but I’m sure some people will get them early.

  • Data Dump Revisited

    So, a while back, I posted about a data dump. Well, TOR Head recently updated with their 1.4 stuff. I immediately went to the Vanity Pets Category and well… there’s just…so many.

    Once again, triplets seem a big theme (Only one that doesn’t have 3 is Nekarr Cat with 4) and while we still have no idea what’s going on with the Wonderous Egg/Orochick and have no clue if the Lobelode can be gotten (would be the first pet not to be available in the patch it was put in)… it’s still quite a bit. I won’t be adding these to the Pet List until more are found, but for now, it’s something to think about.

    Anyway, onto the list:
    Manka Lynx: (#10 in Data Dump)
    Arctic
    Jungle
    Savanna

    Womp Weasel: (#14 in Data Dump)
    Black
    Brown
    White

    Lylek: (#1 in Data Dump)
    Bloodhusk
    Slateshard
    Venomcrest

    Gizka (#8 in Data Dump)
    Blue-Speckled
    Green-Spotted
    Red-Backed

    Wriggler (#9 in Data Dump)
    Deep – Which, as we know, is from Terror from Beyond and most likely a 100% drop from the final boss.
    Lunar
    Stellar

    Nekarr Cat
    Desert
    Forest
    Shadow
    Tundra

    Flutterplume (#7 in Data Dump)
    Ebon-Wing
    Gilded
    Paradise

    Vrblet (#13 in Data Dump)
    Fire-bellied
    Golden-Skinned
    Green-Backed

    Kowakian Monkey-lizard (#11 in Data Dump)
    Flamehair
    Ruddyscale
    Sablefur

    Lizardbat
    Forest
    Golden
    Mountain

    Mouse Horranth (#5 in Data Dump)
    Ivory
    Mossy
    Slate

    Miniprobe (#12 in Data Dump)
    Low Atmosphere
    Sub-Zero
    Toxic Environment

    Blurrg (#3 in Data Dump)
    Lurker
    Mottled
    Speckled

    Droid (#2 in Data Dump)
    Micro-Aggressor
    Micro-Defender
    Micro-Patroller

    The only ones not mentioned from the Data Dump were the Akk Dog and Wraid/Lobel. Similarly, Lizard Bat and Nekarr Cat were not mentioned either so there is a chance the Lizard Bat and Nekarr Cat just share similar models with the former.

    There are also some interesting mounts too, but I find those to be a bit more confusing (after all, many we haven’t seen since the game came out are listed still) so I won’t look into them too much just yet.

    Regardless, I do think most of these aren’t out yet (if any) and several will be for Free to Play as many of the items included in the dump seemed like things for the Cartel Shop and future quests and things. And since it has been confirmed a pet will drop from NM EC, do you think any one of these pets could be it?

    Edit: Added an Upcoming Pets Page. Can be found under the Pet List menu 🙂
