i have fought or betterknown as farmed for pets with several bosses i know drop pets. one boss i have fought 7 times so far another boss 4 and another boss 3
i have recieved drop pets from other bosses earlier in game ie a dark sprite and 2 blue ghosts

my question is do i have to keep the farming up over and over again or does it count if i fight him a couple times with no reward get tired of it leave go do some quests and come back again as farming?

also why do i fight a boss 4 times in a row then a buddy ports to me at end of fight guy has been there for 2 turns and bang he gets the pet and i get a clothing item for a school i cant use and is no auction :-( , lame by the way :x. i know i can sell the item to zeke for 200 g when at auction house its worth 5k?

It's all random, sometimes you'll get the pet on the first try, sometimes you won't. It's strange how it works, one time I got a pet and then went back in twice with a friend trying get the pet for her and I ended up with 3 Strorm Cats! But she has came in with me and ended up getting a pet on the first go-round and it takes me weeks to get one myself.

Right now, I stand at 33 different dropped pets (I have multiples of some) but some pets, I just can't seem to get even though I go after them multiple times a day.

I have all the pets from Wizard city, except the Snow serpent and the Dark Sprite and I'm sick of fighting Gobblestone and Gravewynd to get them.

From Krokotopia, I only have Krokomummy, Ghoul, Fang Bat, Green Cat Thug and Life Troll.

From Marleybone, Brown Rat, Pixie Queen (without card), White Rat, Clockwork Golem, and Frog. I go through Kensington Park 2-3 times a day trying for the Seraph.

From Mooshu, Troll, Storm Bat, Treant, Death Bat and Leprechaun

The only Dragonspyre pet I have is the Queen Spider

I have all of the Grizzleheim pets except the Fire Bat and possibly the Pixie Queen (with card). I say possibly the Pixie Queen because there is some question about if the pet even drops anymore.

No dropped pets from Celestia

I play 5+ hours a day and most of that time is spent farming pet and statue drops.

No rhyme or reason - all random.

I know someone who farmed Cuthalla for hours on end in 2 days before he got the spinyfish. He spent a quite a bit of time with Astreaus to get the sea dragon as well. And so on...

I don't farm for pets. But as I was farming the wrong boss for a kraken statue, I managed to get 2 storm snowmen. As I was farming for stuff to sell for hatch money, I managed to get 2 spinyfish. Yesterday morning I was helping someone through the Trial of Spheres and I get a sea dragon from Astraeus. I've helped people with the Troll brothers and I've gotten 2 lifebats. I've helped someone else with the Coven and I got a wildclaw. Sometimes I get dropped pets so random, I get what I call doorstep babies - because they appear in my backpack or bank and I don't know who dropped them.

I think it's because you are consciously trying... Just like it seemed to take forever before I got my kraken statue - and I bet there are people who got it without even trying! :)
