Runes of Magic: Easy pet guide part 1, choosing the perfect pet for your class.

This is work in progress, I will complete this post with more info soon.

When you decide to choose a pet, you should choose the best one for you and your class.
the are 4 things you should think of when choosing a pet:
Element, color (of the egg), aptitude and level. in that order.
The pet's element decides which attribute stats it has.

You should try to get an orange egg, they are called Holy pet egg.
holy eggs has the highest stats. And the egg should have an element that fit your class.
Each element has three stats out of the five possible.

The elements:

Fire - Primary Intellect (x6), Wisdom (x5) and Stamina (x4). (best pet for a Mage)
Water - Primary Wisdom (x6),  Intellect (x5) and Stamina (x4).  (good for Healers)
Dark - Primary Dexterity (x6), Strength (x5) and Stamina (x4).  (Scout and Rogue)
Light - Primary Stamina (x6), Strength (x5) and Wisdom (x4). (Tanks can use this, but I prefer Earth)
Earth - Primary Str (x6), Stamina (x5) and Dexterity (x4) (Good for Warrior and Knight)
Wind - Primary Dexterity (x6), Stamina (x5) and Wisdom (x4). (maybe Scout and Rogue?)
Rune - This is your "neutral pets". No element at all - do not use this for a pet. This is food to other pets to increase level and aptitude, all pets can "eat" this.

Aptitude:

Now you have to check the aptitude, the higher the better, but high aptitude eggs are more expensive.
Having high aptitude will increase the stats more when you level up your pet. The aptitude can be betweeen 1 - 100. (I think)
Aptitude above level 80 is considered high.

Level:

Now look at the level, it can be between level 1-40. you can get the best possible pet if you have a low level pet with high aptitude and you level it up yourself. But this is very time consuming and expensive. And you are limited to three merges a day so it will take a long time to make your pet powerful.
I personally thinks it's best to get a pet between level 20 - 30.

Leveling the pet:

Merging the pet with an egg of the same level gives your pet 1000 experience points.

Merging the pet with an egg one level lower gives your pet 500 experience points.

Here is part 2 in this guide, getting maximum training points.
