Been that way for years. Especially if you do not command them for a while. Commanding them to kill something will also turn them back to green. It is not feeding.
It just wants you to pay it some attention. Talk to it, feed it, interact with it somehow.
Your pet getting attacked by something is not the same as you having your pet attack something.
It’s an anti afk measure. If your pet is blue the entire time, you don’t actually get kill rights. This has to do with your pet basically being viewed as a guild member.
I’ll admit that it seems I’m wrong, but I remember it working that way, but that might have 2001. Maybe, I was just wrong then. Good to know.
When pet turns blue you stop getting looting rights , i can confirm this, of course you can still get the rights if your pet did enought dmg while it was green, but from the moment it turns blue , its not considered under your command anymore, try on a champ spawn, and you will loose scrolls if you let your pet blue the entire time
I did determine that them turning blue makes them unattackable in Tram ruleset. I kind of remember using this to train pets against each other back in the day.
DOJO daemons take puppy and hide after awhile puppy bar will go blue. While puppy is killing other Daemon walk over to fresh kill and open corpse and loot to hearts content. You will also see gain in fame text if your fame is low enough and while the drops were going on you even got those from blue bar pets. Why do you think all those stealth tamers were doing the drops hiden if they were not getting credit for the kill. And yes I do farm fame from time to time at the DOJO killing daemons with my gilded blue bar puppy and I take all the gold while I am at it so no I am not unattended. So now I guess it is only in Tram proper that this is happening no wait because it happens all the time at the crazed mage because blue bared guilded pets still gain while training.
