Some beasts have an extra Visual effect when they are walking around as hostile beasts.
When these beasts are tamed, they are immediatly "Cleaned" and will have lost the Visual bonus.
Making the pet Vanish immediatly after it has been tamed, skips this Cleaning process, maintaining the Visual Bonus.
Tip:*Making the Beast vanish with an Item.*Timed taming of summoned beasts with limited existance
- Some beasts are involved in a quest, that has an item that will make the beast vanish, the only known beast to do this at the moment, is the Oil-staned Wolf. We are in desperate search for an item that will have a vanishing effect on all beasts.
*Killing and Resurrecting the pet at the exact moment of a finished tame.
- A good example here is the Blue-Mist Carrion Bird. By timing the length of the summoned beasts life with your in-game stopwatch, you can make sure your Tame Beast will end exactly at the moment it vanishes from the second time forward, after that you just keep making adjustments to your timing.
This Method requires perfect timing. The beast has to Die, and become tamed, at the same time. And instantly afterwords you have to use your revive ability, to make it Vanish. If done right you will probably not even see the Golden light of a succesfull tame. This can be done with your DoTs, or Friends. If you bring a Party member along, make sure they "Focus" you so they can see your tame bar, making their damage almost always apply at the exact right time.
In my experience it was easyest to have a Rogue party member, who has "focus" on you, to see the cast-bar of the taming, so he can time a perfect backstab killing it instantly. ~also, he can sap the target, making it all a bit more comfterable.
These 5 pets are currently the only known pets that will save their look.
