=== Leveling Up ===

Each pet has a 'growth chart' which shows you what stats it will gain from leveling up.

As a general rule, it will get better at what it is good at, gaining a little attack, defense and hitpoints.  It will never get weaker - though the new monsters you use it against might get even stronger.

In order to level up your pet, you just need to kill monsters.  Your pet will gain EXP from each and every monster kill either you or it makes.  (Don't worry, it doesn't steal your experience)

The amount of EXP your pet gains depends on only two things:
# The loyalty of your pet.  (Feed your pet up to 500+ loyalty, for the 150% EXP bonus)
# The level of the monster compared to the pets level.

It doesn't matter what level ''you'' are.  If the monster is the pets level or greater, then your pet will gain the maximum of 10 EXP.  (15 if you've got the 150% bonus.)

For each level below your pet the monster was, the pet gains one less EXP - eventually (on a monster 10 levels lower) gaining nothing at all.

Your pet cannot out-level you.  It will stop once it is your level and has a full EXP bar, waiting for you to gain a level.

I should mention two things:

# If you are in a party then ''you'' need to get the credit - your pet usually won't gain EXP if the other party members do the majority of the work.
# Mounts do not gain EXP from kills (since you cannot fight whilst mounted) - instead they gain EXP over time; until they get to level 11 and have their full runspeed boost and then they stop.
