The Look-a-Like Challenge

Update: Look-a-like Challenge Part 2!

Ever since I completed the color-challenges, I've been wracking my brain with what to do for my next challenge. Sure there are still pets left to collect, leveling, battling, and upgrading to rare quality using stones. But those things can get tiring and tedious after a while. Same old day in and day out.

After playing around with some ideas, I finally came up with a new challenge: the look-a-like challenge.

So what does this entail? Basically I find ways to look like my pets! Be it items or abilities, anything that will make my character look similar to any of my companions.

Without realizing it, I actually started this new task a while ago as seen in the screenshot in this post.

In order to pull this off, I needed
1.) The help of a rogue friend and a mage friend
2.) Potion of Illusion and/or Ai-Li's Skymirror
3.) Misc items that transformed my character into fun things
There are quite a few pets that you can look similar to (a full list is behind the cut), but I've only taken some screenshots of the easiest/more interesting ones. Since there are so many pets, I may have missed some look-a-likes. Hopefully I've covered most of them, though!

One last thing, most if not all of the transformations resulted in a silenced state. To get around this, I used the Skymirror which not only granted me the ability to cast and do other things while transformed, but it also allowed me to keep the costume for longer. :D Unfortunately, even with the Skymirror, I couldn't mount or take a taxi. Luckily, I had a friend who had a two-seat mount. :)
