Mounts & Pets After Transfers: Are they merged across characters?

[Jhozam]

Hi everyone,

As we get closer to the day when transfers to the 64-bit servers will begin, I wanted to ask a question to clear up something important to me.

If I have two characters on two different servers and decide to transfer both of them (using the new "pack" feature) to the EU server Moonsea, will their different mounts and pets be combined?

Here's an example:
I have a character on Cannith with the Fast White Stallion and the Black-stripe Pseudodragon, and I pack it and transfer to Moonsea. Then I have another character on Orien with the Fast Midnight Stallion and Joseph, the Mini Scarecrow, and I also pack it and transfer to Moonsea.
After both transfers, will I have all four (two mounts and two pets) available on Moonsea, or will some of the information be overwritten?

Thanks to anyone who can help clarify this!

They'd be merged. From what's been said, it should work like this (assuming multple 32-bit data being brought to the same 64-bit world):
Astral shards get added together
Monster manual kills get the highest value for each monster
Mounts & pets merge so you get them all (along with upgrades like hats/tricks/etc.)

The only thing SSG wasn't certain on would be if you have renamed pets. So if server A's pet is named "Bob" and the same pet on server B was renamed to "Carl", which name your pet winds up with hasn't been stated yet.

Oh, so we already had an official answer about this? I actually searched through staff replies but couldn’t find anything definitive, so I probably just missed it. Thank you!

Pretty sure pets can already have duplicate names.

Pretty sure pets can already have duplicate names.

But you can't have more than 1 each type of pet ! That's the problem.

Sure, you can have 2 pets with the same name but they're currently different pets. I was referring to if I have "Joseph, the Mini Scarecrow" on Khyber named Bob and "Joseph, the Mini Scarecrow" on Orien named Carl; what happens when one packs both data from Khyber and Orien and unpack that data on Moonsea? That kind of stuff has come up in the transfer chat channel on discord.

I can always be wrong, I read a lot of posts from the forums, discord, Friday's at 4 stream. I tend to be pretty good at parsing that info, and often can quote my sources, but it's a lot of info to track. If I get something wrong, I assume Cordovan will pop in and say something.
