My question is, how to get the banekin? I have seen people with it so I know it's possible.

There is no banekin pet. Maybe you saw a sorcerer with a summoned scamp?

@Rosveen
Look at the picture in the OP, top middle is slot for Banekin pet.

Yes, but they aren't in the game yet, so he couldn't have seen them.

(Sorry, I know I'm overlooking the cat-pet hype)

With 1.6 (late January - early February), a new UI will be introduced. It will allow you to store pets, costumes and mounts in a specific tab so that you will be able to free up some inventory and bank space.

There is no PTS as of yet, it will come in early January so things can still change. An assumption however is, that this whole UI will be account wide so that you might be able to use your horse on all chars / costumes.

This however needs to be seen.

Yes to pet cats. Hope different types will be available and hopefully can have more than one.

Someone put it up on another post and said, I believe, that is was from either Quake Con or one of the Livestreams? So, COULD be fake but I don't think so.

What I find more interesting is that you are still VR14 but you also have another experience bar which i assume are for champion points. This leads me to believe that vr14 is here to stay.

No the pic is not fake it came from ESO live. I don't remember if it was last weeks or the one right before that.

bosmern_ESO · December 2014

Gimme that Banekin.

I hope they makes pets,mounts, and disguises unlock-able through Achievements/drops from bosses in the future.

Darlgon · December 2014

They are already in-game.. and the collector in me has to get them. and is happy they now wont take up bag space... but..

Dang it.. its just another NPC the server and my PC have to draw for EVERY PERSON IN THE GAME. Isnt the lag real enough yet?

Please include banning them in Cyrodiil as part of this, if they are not already.

True, also the scamp is pretty rare outside the starting area, most sorcerers use the clanfear.

Are all those pets available or you have to buy a time machine to complete it?

Unless they change the way you get pets, you'll need a time machine.

rkuhnjr_ESO · December 2014

I lost my monkey day one before I knew it was tied to that one char, put in a ticket but never got it back, Maybe i should try again, it popped up on PTS so i know its out there, in the void...

No self respecting Kitteh would be caught dead following a master around on a leash real or imaginary! I don't see how it can happen without breaking immersion! Have you ever had cats? They don't listen, they don't come when you call them.... It ain't happening.

My cat does, he is kind of weird. When I call his name he comes running and when I go to places he follows me. He is rather loyal for a cat.

Well they said that there not taken away vet ranks in this next patch yet. That is coming in a later patch for obvious reasons.

Soulshine · December 2014

while i do appreciate our furry feline friends, all I can say is there better be equal love coming to canines soon after this if the cats do come first or there will be plenty of "barking" from this cat

Ah contraire! My evil overlord for 13 years not only dominated my pit bull utterly but insisted on going with us when we went for walks (though naturally he would never suffer the indignity of a leash! Heavens forefend!), would run to the car when I picked up my keys and many times went camping and hiking with me. So don't you stereotype the kittehs Mister! LOL

Hon, I was the proud pet of not one but 3 of the darlings and not a single one of them ever followed me anywhere. The only thing that I could do that would get them to come running was to pick up my laser pointer with the bell on it that told them the little red dot was coming out to play!

Time machine on some. The imgakin you had to be in the beta for; that's the one that's going to be hardest to get, and the scuttler was from the explorer's pack from preordering (which you can probably find someone selling online, or heck, even the Gamestop in my small town still has some copies of ESO that come with it.) The Bristlegut Piglet was given out at events and on ESO Live, but again, people are selling online. Those are the time-machine-ish ones.
The Whiterun Wolfhound, Kwama Scrib, Pony Guar, and Rufous Mudcrab come with merchandise, the Nibenay Mudcrab is in the Imperial Edition, and the High Hrothgar Wraith and Loyal Dwemer Sphere are loyalty rewards. The Razak's Opus is from a quest.

EDIT: forgot Nibenay Mudcrab

Ok, missed that, I thought he was asking about the Banekin slot, but yeah he can't have seen them, just the scamps.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. They've stated this improvement to inventory storage is coming...and they can't implement it soon enough for me dammit! LOL

Now express some kitteh excitement!

I would express some Pony Guar excitement if it wouldn't come with a plush (simply too expensive to get shipped over here), but if this screenie is really how the new inventory will look like, I think it's pretty damn cool

Agreed, someone in London said how much it cost them, just too much, now if they sold them in a chain of shops we could get to (won't name any, as it counts as advertisements), then I would probably buy one.

Exactly, then I'd buy it in one of these, too.
But this all only for the in-game Guar, though

Laerania_ESO · December 2014

Thanks Zed and Alarra for the answers.

In my opinion another mistake. No point having a collection that most people can't complete.

The first wave of customers don't have (because they couldn't add a steam key in their accounts) the white wolf and most steam ones don't have the beta monkey and the preorder pet. The piglet... another freaking idea. You just don't give away that stuff on live events, you can give away t-shirts, game time, free copies, postcards whatever but not exclusive ingame stuff. That's a bad marketing decision for RPG.

Yeah... I know swtor did the same thing... it's still a bad design decision.

Seriously, who has done this thing? I mean there should be someone thinking these, and not just random ideas

On topic, I like the cat pet.
