I bought a companion for my alt and start leveling them both from level 1 but at 35 they already have 6 levels of difference, I didn’t use many cards but I wonder how am I supposed to keep him from falling down further because even with AFK farming I’ll still get more EXP…

I’ve found my companion only levels up quickly in dungeons. Don’t worry about it too much, just have them out when you dungeon later.
Well I guess I can only grind 15 more levels and try with the first dungeon then one more thing is there a “passive” toggle or a way to make him attack the target I want?
Companion AI is not exactly the best in this game. I’d rate it +1 AI over zombie AI, which is not exactly that great.
The fact that your companion is transferable tells you that there is a lot that can be done. It gains exp as you do, even if it is 200 levels above.
Yes but it doesn’t have exp resets every 40 levels or so like us, I’d prefer a system like this: He gains tons of exp but it cannot surpass the level of the owner (not transferable and no character slot required).
We should also have some tools to control him like stances (assist, passive, aggressive) or at the very least a “mark” skill because it’s really silly to look him going around at random.
I prefer the current system. As it rewards being loyal to a pet, unless you plan to operate a zoo. I do agree with the adjustable pet AI functions, but this should be limited to be in front of the player or behind, since there are classes which will most likely make use of these pets in the future
I actually liked the current system. I can transfer it between cata/sr/hunter and not have to buy them one each. Or between my low level characters so the companion gets exp as i level my characters.
Also they provide 400^2 team exp at max level, equivalent to one 280 character and a 120 character.
Players have exp reset to let you have more levels after a new rank up.
why is it that i’m just walking somewhere and the level up message pops up on my pet when i wasn’t killing anyhting
that is a common bug, happens a lot to me anytime companion recently leveled up
I get that message right after I summon him sometimes, I guess it’s a lag issue.
Anyway it feels like an incomplete feature right now, no equipments, no attributes or perks to customize the pet, no AI tweaks, etc.
Your pet will level up quite fast when you hit the grind phase in later stages of the game.
Yes, it DOES get XP resets. At least mine did when it reached 46.
Its exp growth was buffed in KTOS eventually Itos will get the changes.
