hey, can someone make a guild about this pet?

i got one today... it's cool. but when i dont use it.. which means, i unsummon it ... the time IS STILL COUNTING DOWN...

that is a rip off.. i'am not using it... i dont get how i can stop the time...

someone help?

Well why would you not spawn your monkey in the first place =P

hahahaa i'm glad! those monkey things are driving me nuts!! they pick up other people's drops before the system allows me to! it's not fair!

like for example, someone would come through and kill something dropping some gold, and I will go try and pick it up a few seconds later, after I've killed a few things, but i still won't be able to, and then someone elses monkey will swoop in and snatch it up... and i'm like, "bloody deus!!"

No wonder i see so much of my own gold getting snatched up by them, they seem to have a slightly lessened time restriction on them, either that or they're just really freaking good at snatching stuff up RIGHT after the time restriction is up, and always right when it seems i've finished killing a horde of monsters

a guild? do you mean a guide?

actually... this made me think...

perhaps... you can get 1 monkey... then have a friend who plays at a different time than you (someone from this forum, perhaps? or whoever else you trust)

then... when ur done with the monkey... ur friend comes on... give him the monkey... whoo... no time wasted... and both benefit from it.

it would apply to more ppl too, i guess...

maybe that'd work. good use of a solid 4 week period

Or they just might take your monkey and run.

lol, not much of a friend

i dont think monkeys are that fast, i beat a monkey to a lvl 24 glaive drop yesterday

u could justpick up ur drops after u kill the monster?

problem is, if you're fighting several orange mobs (like some quests require), you have a chance of dying or taking several hits when pick your stuff up.

Then pick up the most important thing, like a weapon drop or elixer and leave the rest for after if a monkey hasnt gotten it.. But its not hard to pick up at least one item while fighting higher lvl mobs.. I've done it plenty times.. You just have to use maybe one extra pot

while that's true, it still sucks. if i'm fighting and an equip or something nice drops, i'll always take a break to pick it up. but i can't stop for every pile of gold. if i'm in a place where mobs are constantly spawning, then i might accumulate 10-15 piles easily before a break comes where i can pick them up. that's 2-3k gold, and i don't really want some monkey to steal it.

i'm not against monkies, i just think that picking up other people's stuff shouldn't be an option. it should just pick up your own, and that would settle just about everyone's complaints with them.

monkeys are cute, let them do what ever they like

this person dropped 1 arrow on the ground twice.. my monkey went and picked it up too -__-

I was in town stocking up on arrows last night and my monkey brought me a +2 crit 6 sword.... good monkey.

give your monkey some treat

i want my monkey to do that

Sp farming on archers made me despise monkeys ._.;

is it worth it though?
how mcu his a monkey? 1million? 2ish? ( WHAT is a decent price to buy for? )
im considerign gettign one.. got 2milish and yeah, but dunt know ... would you make a profit i nthe ned of it all? afterall, 1-2mil isALOT of money..
mainly grinding my way to level 32 and i do leave money on gorund, but i dunno

you leave money on the floor i can make a good 50k+ from a good grind then the items it all adds up

I share everyone's frustration with thief monkey pets. Can't tell you how many times, I wish I could have shot someone else's pet.

I have one of those monkey pets, now, and the grab function is off by default and you can choose for it to pick up everything or just your stuff. Just your stuff is on by default, so you can blame the various monkey owners for stealing your drops.

Here is what I do, I keep my setting to just pick up my drops, if I see other drops that people have left behind, then I will go pick up those items myself. It is just courtesy.

I think they should allow pet monkeys that are set to picking up everything to be shot at and take damage. That would greatly reduce the number of drop thefts that go on.

OMG imagine purchasing a monkey for 2M and can just easily be shot by another player........no no no no that couldn't be fair....at all..

Penalty for stealing someone elses drops. My proposal would be that the penalty would not apply to those who have their monkey picking up only their own drops. Don't worry it was only a thought. Not asking anyone to consider it seriously.

Can't tell you how many times I have walked past others being mobbed, who stop the fight to pick up their drops in fear that my monkey might take off and start picking up their stuff. I feel bad about that.

It is fun to drop useless items and watch other people's monkeys pick them up... hilarious. Think everyone should do it. Hopefulle, eventually these owners decide to set up their monkey to pick up their drops only, lol.
