Attack Speed

All pets in Forever have a base attack interval of 2.0 seconds, modified by their innate passives: Swift Attacks I–VII or Slow Attacks II–III. Each step below is one passive; Classic Era beasts are placed by the attack interval in the Classic Era database.

The number below each interval is the count of beasts at that speed. Select an interval to filter the list above. Fast beasts only 74 beasts →

How to Train Your Pet

Pet abilities are learned exactly as in Classic Era:

1. 

   Tame a beast that knows the ability. The Learnable Abilities column above lists which beasts know each rank.

2. 

   Keep that beast fighting at your side until you pick the ability up yourself. The only notice is a single yellow line that does not even mention the rank, so watch for it.

3. 

   Switch back to your own pet and teach it using Beast Training. Abilities cost training points. Pet trainers also offer general abilities such as Growl and resistances, which likewise cost training points.

• Loyalty Training requires loyalty: your pet must gain a loyalty level before it can be trained.
• Taming Level You can tame beasts up to 2 levels above your own. Beast Lore, learned at level 24, reveals a beast's abilities before taming.

Data Sources

• Families, diets, abilities, ranks, learning levels, descriptions and attack-speed passives come from the Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70888 ) and are compared with the Classic Era client (build 1.15.9.70576 ).
• Family damage, armor and health modifiers come from that family's Tamed Pet passive in the beta client.
• Which beasts are tameable and their attack speeds come from an open-source Classic Era server database; their Forever locations and levels, and the beasts new in Forever, come from open-source Forever quest data.
• Abilities taught by beasts come from the Classic Era client. Some may have changed in Forever.
• New Forever beasts are sorted into families by their tooltips; training follows the Classic Era rules.
• Chinese beast names come from the Chinese edition of open-source quest data and from tooltips; entries marked ^* have no official Chinese name yet and use our own translation.
