Newbie questions I couldnt find answers to (feel free to point me in the right direction of topics I need to read)
Ive tried looking for answers but I just couldnt find any.

How do I increase my own level? My pets reached my level then couldnt get any more exp
Can you breed for battle stats?
Why cant I add more than 8 pets to my stable?
How many pets can I nurture and get scales for in a day?
How fast does a pet recover its health?

Im sure theres more to ask so if anyone is looking to take on a newbie like me Im game.
Im not looking for hand outs or freebies. I want information.

Thank you

-Your level increases when your highest level pet levels. If your highest level pet is level 30 and you level it to 31 then your level is now 31.
-When pets breed, a child's stats are a random stat in between the stats of the 2 parents' stats. You can, however, use philters to increase an egg's stats upon hatching. Most philters only increase 1 stat but the Prismatic Philter increases all of them. Is that what you mean?
-You have 25 slots in your stable right now. You can have 25 pets in there. Where are you seeing that you can't have more than 8?
-You are able to nurture all the hatchlings and eggs on the site if you want. You'll often see players doing it during nurture board competitions. The only limit is how many hatchlings and eggs are currently on the site. I don't know how many there currently are because the search maxes out at 5k so there are at least that many.
-I'm not actually sure. If your pet dies I think it's 15 or 30 minutes to revive and then it slowly recovers health over the next few hours.

- slightly further wording clarification, your player level is as high as the highest level a pet has reached while in your account. Player level does not affect exp gain, it merely caps what pets you can put into your party.
The only things that stop a pet from gaining exp are a) they have had a philter of unlearning used on them (have this icon in their info: , or b) they're level 75, and thus at the level cap

- on inheritance when breeding here (post 10, post 6)
also see this stat breeding guide though it was written before the health philter and mana philter were added, and before mana could be raised at all)

- there shouldn't be anything stopping you adding more than 8 (as Sakina says, one tab holds 25 pets), what has led to this conclusion?

- literally all the hatchlings and egglings on the site, each only once per day. You do not get a reward if you nurture a pet with the wrong option though

- I think the healing tick is once per 5 minutes when out of battle in non-Lost Grove areas? Takes longer for pets that are knocked unconscious to revive I think? (15 mins maybe?)

Further additions that were not asked about but will be helpful to know:

Elements come in two categories, Physical and Magical
Physical elements use the Strength stat and Physical Damage Stat for attack calculation, and do not use Magical Damage Stat at all
vice versa for Magical elements, which use Intelligence and the Magical Damage Stat for attack calculation and do not use the Physical Damage Sat at all.

Physical elements are Earth, Water, and Air
Magical elements are Shadow, Light, and Fire

you then have the groupings of Tank element, Attacker element, and Healer/Buffer element
Tank pets go in slot 1 and soak the majority of damage. They get equipped and statted for Health, Agility, and offence
Earth, Water, and Shadow are the typical tank elements, though sometimes Light is used
Earth and Water tanks under level 60 are generally going to want Assassin (Str/Agi) gear
Shadow and Light tanks under 60 generally get Illusionist (Int/Agi) gear

Attackers are Air and Fire. Focus is on pure damage output, leaning into offence and dexterity.
sub-60, Air uses Myrmidon gear (Str/Dex) typically, and Fire uses Evoker gear (Int/Dex) typically.

Healer/Buffer is Light and Water, though water doesn't really grow into the Buffer position until a minimum of lv30. They can go either way on the secondary stat of their equips- agi or dex- depending on what the player wants to lean into


Dex controls Accuracy and Crit Chance
Agi controls Evasion and Defences
The two stats share equal control over speed (300dex+100agi is the same speed as 200dex+200agi or 100dex+300agi)

Thank you all

Thats cleared up a few things for me
