There is no word on whether they will ever let the Baby Pets grow up

I'm not saying there's a perfect way to level a dragon, but there's common sense tips you may want Airrivals Spi to follow.

Twilight Hatchling/Dusk Strider:

Classification: Transportation (“Scaly Taxi”)

C4 Special Skills: None

Q. Will my Baby ever grow up?

A. No. There is no word on whether they will ever let the Baby Pets grow up in future Chronicles, but in this one a Baby is always a Baby.

Q. What does my Baby Pet do?

A. You mean besides die easily and take 10% of your XP? They heal you. Small heals that get slightly larger with level, but always still small comparatively.

Q. I am a caster and I want a Baby that does recharge.

A. Sorry, you are out of luck. There is no Baby Pet that recharges, however if you are a high enough level (upper 60s) you can go to the Beast Farm in the Rune area and get a temporary pet there. These pets will do random buffing and healing or recharge.

Q. Can my Baby use a weapon?

A. No, all they do is follow you, take 10% of your XP, heal, make cute little noises and die easily.
