Some weird pet state

[Sambuko]

Hi all. I didn't play in vanilla so all I know about hunter pets is some old internet pages. In wiki it says that pet has loyalty and happines. As far as I understand to get loyalty all you need to do is to have your pet getting experience. But for me it simply doesn't work. My pet is always happy (yellow or green icon), I got 2 levels with him, but he is still rebellious. Is there some kind of bug or I'm missing something?

Pet Loyalty increases with time, I'm unsure it has to do with levels at all. Just hang in there. Make sure your pet is happy!

Super late response but if anyone else is wondering about this; you need to keep your pet happy (green) for loyalty to increase. Yellow means loyalty isn't changing at all, and red means loyalty is dropping. Experience gain doesn't affect this, just time.

Like the others have said, experience doesn't matter when increasing loyalty. Only time can impact that. I've had pets increase in loyalty while I was afk, so long as I kept them fed.
