Zaishen Menagerie Grounds

Description
The Zaishen Menagerie Grounds is an explorable area in the Battle Isles, situated on the western slopes of the volcanic island which also houses the Heroes' Ascent. It is accessed by speaking to Gate Guard Hirvela in the Zaishen Menagerie outpost. The Menagerie Grounds hold an account's tamed pets, which can be accessed and interacted with in a variety of ways.

Pet Tiers

 * Tier 1: Level 5 Base Pet (here after called "Elder")
 * Tier 2: Level 12 Elder Pet
 * Tier 3: Level 12 Aggressive and Playful Pets
 * Tier 4: Level 15 Elder Pet
 * Tier 5: Level 15 Aggressive, Playful, Hearty, and Dire Pets
 * Tier 6: Level 20 Elder Pet
 * Tier 7: Level 20 Aggressive, Playful, Hearty, and Dire Pets

Once you've unlocked a pet you'll see charmable level 5 versions of that pet roaming about in habitats specially designed to meet the pet's needs. To see higher level versions, talk to Wynn in the Training Yard (see below) and she'll bring them out. The Rainbow Phoenix can only be charmed if you leave heroes behind.

Unlocking and the Training Yard
The yard is part of the Zaishen Menagerie grounds, and has NPCs to help you unlock pets and learn more about how everything works.

Emryd, The Tamer
Bring your pets to Emryd, as well as any pets your Heroes have, and she'll unlock those tiers for you. Here's how:


 * Levels 1-11 Elder pets unlock tier 1.
 * Levels 12-14 Elder pets unlock tier 1 and 2.
 * Levels 12-14 Aggressive or Playful pets unlock tier 1, 2, and 3.
 * Levels 15-19 Elder pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, and 4.
 * Levels 15-19 Aggressive, Playful, Dire, or Hearty pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
 * Level 20 Elder pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (but not tier 7).
 * Level 20 Aggressive, Playful, Dire, or Hearty pets unlock all 7 tiers.

(Most charmable level 20 pets will indicate that they are "Elder" in evolution. Black Moa's do not have such an indication but indeed are Elder as indicated by the way they unlock levels).

Wynn, The Zaishen Training Captain
Speak with Wynn to get higher level versions and special evolutions of your pets. She'll also tell you about the characteristics of specific evolutions and how to train your pets to achieve that evolution.

Helena, The Zaishen Keeper
Helena unlocks tiers of pets for you in exchange for Balthazar Faction, or for a combination of Zaishen Coins and gold. You may only unlock a pet in this way if you own the pet's home campaign. She can tell you which animals are missing from your collection.

Silavor Zaishen Naturalist
Speak to Silavor to learn more about each different species of pet. He knows how they fight and how they respond to training and, if you want to tame your own, he knows where to find them in the world.

Salome Zaishen Physician
Up the staircase just north and east of the training yard, Salome can give you trivia about the various animal species that are currently in your menagerie.
