New Gamestop Bundles!

[AluraMist]

The Pet Bundle is in game, as shown by this screenshot of the pet (It is not first generation) @Bailey Jade took!:

That is an assumption when you say that the Pet Bundle is in the game.

As I explained in my reply, Post #17 above, it might be that KingsIsle gave the Pet and/or the Pet Bundle as a gift for participating in the Charity Event.

That screenshot shows that there is a Hybrid Pet in the game. Parents are unknown, unless you have screenshots showing the parents during the Hatch. ??

*Update* I just went to the website for GameStop, and I was not able to purchase it (add it to my cart or download). It shows the Pet Trainer Bundle Gift Card, with a greyed-out box saying, "Not Available". Screen capture attached.

On a side note: screenshot verifications are provided to show that something "is" in the game, not to confirm that it is 'not available'. We seem to be chasing our tails on this, without any uncropped ingame screenshots showing what "is" available. So I am finished with this issue for now.

The Extra Life charity event has only just been announced. More info here https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm...m&teamID=53755

I would have thought the new Karamel one would be for the charity event but that's me guessing.


EDIT: As for the pet bundle we nearly always see people buying bundles in or near Texas early from the shops. It could it's not able to purchase online until closer to it's official release. Personally I think this is a part of KI's release strategy for bundles to build anticipation, getting the big youtuber's like Blaze Life hammer to post a video as he show's you around the house.

Prizes have not yet been given away for the Extra Life event yet, @AluraMist so people must be purchasing this card in person. Rewards for the event are dished out after November 8th to the email connected to your Extra Life account!
I also suspect that the giftcatd associated with this event would be the Candied Isles Bundle, based on past precedent and the fact that the pet card has already been "released."

The manager at the local Gamestop store was happy to try to sell me the $29 Pet Trainer Bundle via a register receipt code, because he said he doesn't think that they are getting any physical cards. The computer allowed him to attempt to sell it to me all the way through payment, and then he got an error saying it was not allowed. His computer inventory said it was available October 5, and he apologized profusely for not being able to complete the sale, as he didn't understand why it gave the error message, and we agreed I would check back next week.

The $39 Candied Isles card is listed as becoming available November 1, so Blaze/Jared was correct on that.

I believe that someone could have gotten to purchase the Pet bundle on October 5 before Gamestop locked it down or whatever. So the rest of us just have to wait until it gets unlocked.

This pet that I shared with you on another platform is NOT a first generation.

Now that we might be able to hatch them, this bundle that the pet came from is not officially released, so if I recall correctly, @AluraMist and the other wiki masters do not like to put things up until its officially announced by KI. All pets that are placed in the wiki are all first generation pets.

How this person got the pet, I do not know, but what I was told he was in the hatchery yesterday sharing the pet with tons of players. I was lucky enough to get it from a friend who got it from a friend, so right there its not a first gen pet. I hope this helps clear things up :D

This was the exact same thing I got!


I think what happened here, this bundle might have been an extra life thing and once again GameStop released it early. I do recall them doing this once before. The Extra Life event will not ending till the end of this month and rewards usually go out the first week of November. Usually few weeks after that, the bundle will be on sale somewhere, in this case GameStop.

I just saw someone with the pet trainer bundle, though he wasn't using the pet. I did manage to get a few pictures of the level 130 stats.

@Happy Fun Ball

Thanks for posting that! I quite like the Extract item cards on this gear- it is a creative idea that will save Players with this bundle hundreds of thousands of gold. Maybe someday we'll see Jewels with Extract item cards...
I also appreciate that this energy gear does not exceed the Light Elf gear. We definitely do not need more gear rendered obsolete!

If you look closely (it's kind of hard to see because those spell cards are smaller than usual), you will see an extra boost of 50 damage along with the extract spell. Makes me wonder if this is a new level of monstrology that we will be seeing in the future. It would certainly make it more interesting. The one biggest problem with monstrology is the lack of damage enchantment. You have to choose either high damage or risk not even killing your target because your damage is much lower than you're expecting. Now you can have both, although it's only 50 damage. It's a start though. Maybe one day we will see gargantuan level damage boosts along with these extract spells.

Thanks for grabbing these in-game pictures! Too bad that player didn't have the pet equipped to almost complete the bundle set (see haven't seen in-game images of the teleporter yet).

I was rooting for Monstrology gear.....but this seems odd to attach it to gear with a pet training theme. You don't need energy for monstrology. Maybe it should have been called "Side Activity Bundle" instead, lol. Imagine if it had fishing stats too.
