Hit ctrl-P ingame to open up your animal window. Go near the stable, right click on your packer thats listed..and take it out of the stable :)

on another note isn't there some way to teleport your packer to a stable other than the one you last put it in? i seem to remember players talking about this and how it was bugged and killing thier mektoubs.

is there a way to do this? if so how?

You can access your packer in ANY of the Pyr stables, so I am guessing that goes for ALL cities that have more than one stable, or ALL stables within the same region.

I am not sure if that is true when you are one or two regions away...I never tried before.

If you want to transfer the animal from the Pyr south stable to any other stables...I would HIGHLY recommend taking the beast through town, the chances of Bessy dying on the way through town are MUCH lower than even the safest route outside of the walls. Packers die only slightly slower than your average newbie, and when they are dead...they are DEAD, and everything that was on them is also gone.

I am not sure if the "can't rez packers" situation is a bug or a "feature" but I know at one time...pre patch one I think...you could NOT rez a dead packer, even if you were grouped and the fighters killed the mob, and you had HUGE healing abilities, you got the "can't cast on a corpse" error message.

SO...I would honestly NEVER take the beast out of the stable other than through town to move it. I am not sure if you can safely transport it to another region, although I feel that you should be able to.

If you are crafting and want to craft at the vendors, Alt P and right click the gauges select follow me or Follow or whatever, then run into town and find your favorite merchant. You CAN craft AT the stable with the animal in the stable.

Just NEVER forget to put the beast back into the stables.

You can access your stabled packers at ANY stable in ANY region regardless of the packers' actual locations but you can only take a stabled packer out of the stable where it is actually located.

Example:
So if I have a packer in Hoï-Cho, one in Jen-Laï, and one in Thesos I can access them all via the stable in Yrkanis. To get them out of the stables, I have to travel to each location to issue the exit stable command. If I want my Fyros packer in Thesos to meet the two Zoraï packers, then I have to brave the Roots with a packer which will likely mean a dead packer. Best to keep them stabled unless you have a very good reason to not do so.

so i would be better off selling the packer and just buying one in a new area....

it works but i really wish there was a way to transport them. even if you could only do it between the capitol cities it would be better instead of having to take them through the prime roots.

Well that seems to be the same as transporting the packer exept you have to have the dapper, and then you have to unload the old and load the new.

Can you access the packer anywhere in the world? If so it seems alot of trouble for nothing.

Ummm.. you can teleport with the packer. They just have to be out of the stable and following you.

Fairly certain of that anyway.

Only if you want the critter trotting behind you, otherwise just leave it at home and access it via stables while traveling.

I haven't tried since before patch 1 but you could not teleport (as in tickets and not continental links) with your packer (yes out of stable). You would tele but your packer would not. I have 10k dapper to burn so I'll try it again tonight.
