Dont worry about it dude im mass killing and its far less hassle lol.
As for taming tongs i donno where would i take them? im lvl 38 lol :-P
With the pet thing i dont mind them popping and being so hard to tame if you dont know how to increase e shock strength, but all the searching is just too much. to spend 10-20 mins searching for each one + 10-25 mins taming per mob and when they both pop its just really annoying at how much time has been wasted.
Also i can lvl just as fast mass killing, as im now finding out but tbh some people (like me) prefer pets to mass killing. I just find it more interesting and enjoyable.
GmMenace said he d either increase spawns or make a pet farm. If they are easier to find or spawnable ill give it another shot. Otherwise im sticking with mass killing. Seems to be working so far lol.
