Does Saying "Good Boy" Enhance Pet Talents?

Professor,

I have heard from varioius people that when a pet gives a blade or spritely, saying good boy or good girl will increase the percentage of it repeating the action during the battle or duel. Is this true?

I don't really believe so, but I do it anyway. I don't think it has anything to do with it, it's just random.

I seriously doubt it, I just say good boy or good girl because that's what you do when your pet does something right/good, right? :-P

no i don't think so a good reason is someone may exploit it and say good boy or girl a whole lot to advance their pet

So it being offered as a choice is on the same level as being able to jump?

I think it does because a few times when i say good girl my pet uses spiritly 3-5 times

I'm sorry to say that this is as true as the chance of getting Treasure Cards for gifting someone a Mount is, and that chance would be 0.

I don't think it really has an impact on whether your pet uses spritely. I have seen nothing with my pets that indicate it helps.

well an odd thing happened that makes me think so.

I was in a fight with a menu chat person and she was getting hit a lot cause for some reason wand attacks seem better than taunts

Anyways she started saying i need healing.

My pet heals

So every time she said i need healing my pet sets out a sprite or two

then it was

no
i need healing

over and over and i did not have a heal for her but i tried to kill fast so she wouldnt die

At the end she was still alive and she menu chatted "that was mean"

So now i menu chat I need healing and it usually works but at the risk of some one calling me a noob

another strange thing is when i say good girl and then wand hit she puts out a ward on the one i just hit.

IDK for sure if it helps but it doesnt hurt unless you get hurt feelings when some one calls ya noob every other fight

no one knows who you are, the game is for fun, so if it works do it.
as for another player asking for healing during a fight, i use the menu chat to tell them to use a heal on themself. saying "that was mean" , was uncalled for, every player is given heal cards and should know how to use them. if i jump into a fight with the intention to help/heal then i heal but if someone jumps in my fight then they should not expect anyone there to heal them.

No, it doesn't, but it's still fun to say ;)

I believe that it cuts down the fizzle rate with my pets if I say good boy or girl. My myth has the christmas elf that kept fizzing quite a bit until I said good girl to her.
