It does the same thing with sorc charmies. It's really quite bothersome. Just remember to have a store-bought pet with you 24/7 (which you should always have anyways) and if it dies, well, sucks.

I don't know why this happens, so I thought I would pose the question. Say that I have a blood wight and I go to buy myself a pet. Why does it say that I already have a pet? And yet when I have a pet can get an undead charmie, I can still have one. Just something thats been bugging me. |

This is due to the mechanics of the game -- since you may only purchase one pet, you are unable to purchase a pet if you already have the undead follower. Perhaps there is a way to amend the code to be aware of whether your existing pet(s) are store-bought or not... I don't know. I believe more experience players may be able to provide you with a possible work-around (eg, put undead follower to sleep somewhere - go buy the pet - come back and get undead follower again). Something like that, anyway; can't say I've played a Necromancer that thoroughly, myself. |

Hmmm... Never played a necro, but tried to have the undead off your group, buy the pet, and re-invite/order to accept him? |

I would say buy the pet, leave the pet somewhere, get the undead, then retrieve the pet. Certain pets won't stop attacking the undead after you land the control spell. |

You have to buy the pet before you get a controled undead. Otherwise you will be thought by the game to have a pet and you won't be able to get another. Hope that clears this up. |

I have played a necro. I always bought my specific pet before I went to control my undead. I can't think of a way around it. Sorry. sleeper |

Just really just a bother really but it is easy enough to get around. |

Same problem exists with all summoned/created pets. Like the Hammer horsey and elementals. |

Same if you conjure an elemental then go to buy a pet. |
