Why do I keep getting an error when I try to hire stable hands? And what happens to my pets it their "feed" drops to 0? :( I can't seem to make money well or get past certain levels in the game to move on

To hire a stablehand you need to have gained at least 10k total AP (you don't need to stay above 10k AP, just have to have passed it once to unlock the function)
(also, you can only hire Rosemary, I think? You can't make a custom one at this point in time. Maybe someday, who knows)

When pets hit 0/10 fullness, they fall unconscious and cannot be put into the party. They will revive and be fine a short while after being fed with no negative consequences.
(pets that are in the party do not lose hunger points and will remain fine)

for making gold, see the guide to making gold and the guide to missions and mission pets

For levels, I assume you mean you are having a problem with some part of the plotline?
What part of the story are you in/ what fight is causing the issue? (what zone are you in)
Which pets are you using/ what are their positions in your party?

Thank you very much. I am in the grotto in the umber forest. Soon as I figure out how to link my party I will let you know who I have in my Prty and what they have and are equipped with.

> go to the pet's page (I personally then go to their proficiency page)
> get the page url (eg. https://www.sylestia.com/proficiency/?pet_id=1069345)

> in your post options, there are the buttons "URL", "IMG" "URL=", "IMG="
"URL" is for links where you don't need/want it to be a specific text link, and makes [ url ] tags (gives you a link like: https://www.sylestia.com/proficiency/?pet_id=1069345)

"IMG" is for images, makes [ img ] tags (example: https://www.sylestia.com/image_builder_pet.php?species=sylvorpa&breed=sylesti&gender=male&gd1=UU&gd2=NN&gd3=NN&md1=NN&md2=BB&md3=NN&ec=f223f9&c1=060645&c2=2b7bf0&c3=4e0990&gd1c=78fbf7&gd2c=78fbf7&gd3c=fd9001&md1c=26faee&md2c=14fff7&md3c=49059a&ac=f223f9&ac2=f223f9&maturity=648&costume=&unconscious=0&size=120&owned=1 in the tags makes

"URL=" is for text links, and makes [ url= ] tags, such as for Munir- type out the text you want, highlight, hit the "URL=" button, paste the url link in the popup it gives you, bam, text link.

"IMG=" makes [ img= ] tags, and is for image links (clickable images)

Kreon

milkyway

these are my party atm. if i can figure out how to make gold then i can open a third slot lol

hope that worked lol

yes, the links work- and on gold, I did link the guide to making gold and the guide to missions in our first post- missions are generally considered to be the best steady way of making gold in the game, so I'd suggest reading through that guide, prepping some pets, and sending them on missions.


Slot 1 should be milkyway, kreon in slot 2 (since milkyway is shadow and kreon is air)

Shadow tanks, profs would be in HP, and/or Int, and/or Agi, 2HP should? be fine. I don't really have a shadow tank (I have an earth tank, and a water tank, and haven't used any kind of shadow tank in a long while) so I'm not the best to give advice on them.
However, where you can, you'll want Illusionist equips (Int/agi), preferably lv25+, preferably epic, legendary, or mythical (both level and rarity play a part in how good an equip is)

Kreon, you'll probably want to swap his profs over to 2str, rather than 2HP, at some point (especially once you get your third slot- typically this will be a light healer pet, so the attacker pet doesn't need to worry about survivability much after that)
Equips you'll want preferably Myrmidon (Str/dex) (ravager is... okay? but usually more of an equip for Strength mission pets, Assassin might? be useful until you get that third party slot, but not much, and after that, less so; overall one typically wants as much strength and dexterity on an air pet as possible, so they can dish out as much damage as possible.) and again, lv25+, epic/legendary/mythical where you can

(milkyway has an epic lv25 myrmidon bracelet that you can replace kreon's lv20 rare myrmidon with, for a start, since it's not really helping her at all where it would greatly benefit him)

thank you. i will try to switch things around. im trying to keep it all straight lol. i had milkyway first and she kept dying, so i switched them and it seemed to work better. i will do some switching of gear and see if any of that helps.

i have started looking over the guides you posted. will have to look at them later as its 11:10 pm where i am and i have to be up at 730 for an hr drive lol. thanks again. will keep in touch =)

If milkyway was first and kept dying, I'd suggest maybe trying out her profs in different combos.
Other potential combos being 2agi (agility raises evasion, which would help dodge more attacks, and thus take less damage), 2int (which would raise her damage output significantly, which would mean she would heal herself more using those attacks), 1HP/1Agi, 1HP/1Int, 1Int/1Agi.

Having asked the chat (since, again, I don't use a shadow tank, but other people do), we've been offered the suggestion that you might want to go with (or at least try) 1int/1agi as her proficiency setup to see how that works for you.

Thank you so much for the help. You have been really kind :)
