lab resets pet's level to 1 in a single zap

Sun Jun 05, 2005 11:27 am

is this a neo myth?

of course not. if you look in the lab ray results sticky, you'll see many of them. it's one of the reasons people stop labbing

He meant like if your pet is level 200, and then you zap it once, it will go back to level 1. This is a neomyth because the highest stat increase/decrease is 5, and is usually in hitpoints. But say your pet is level 5, then yes, it is a possiblity, but if your pet is 6, it would take atleast 2 zaps to make it go back down to level 1.

...and he goes down to level 1

Yep, I've gotten that from level 10 - 20 before.

it happend to me lol

I labbed for two years and never got that (and I never got "and nothing happens" either). I wonder if I'm just lucky, or if my lab is somehow different because I bought it years ago, or what.

It has only happened to my pet when it was below level 4 or 5. However, if you're really that concerned about your level going down, you shouldn't lab. Your level will eventually reach zero if you lab on a daily basis.

I get that sooooo often, my pet's never been at a high enough level to test the "never over lv 5" theory! ._.;; :lol:

Was your pet under level 5? I have never had my pet go down to level one in a single zap when they were over level 5.

It's possible to get that result up to level 20, it's not really known where exactly you get out of the "Danger Zone". You aren't going to get it at, say, level 75, though.

That only happens to me when my pet is under level 10...when she was over...it never happened...then it dragged the pet under with level decreases and happened...

However...some people say level 50 is out of the danger zone...some say 35 from what I've heard

I just got my pet up to level 50 through codestones...he'd better not get zapped back to level 1 when I start lab training again :roll:

I've seen people say "my level 50 pet went back to level 1!" but I've never seen a screenshot. There are so many conflicting claims about what level is "safe."

... and she goes down to level 1 :(


That's from the lab ray...so nope not a myth =)
