green con
green con
light blue
light blue <-- stuck with it b/c i wanted to exp

I've gone through four stacks of Malachite on the level 24 pets, and only one has been green con. I think about 9 have been light blue. You just got unlucky.

//EDIT: To clarify, I mean that nothing seems out of sorts. This is exactly how I recall classic level variation working.

I've gone through stacks of Malachite as well to summon a decent level pet. Something is wrong.

I'm sure I got dark blue all the time, even in the very early days.

Well, perhaps I shoulda been more precise and wrote that this was Mage pet levels.

And yes this was classic. Before they changed all the spell lvls to give you a new pet each lvl instead.
All the mage Elementalkin (lvl 4 spells) could summon up a red con, meaning lvl 7 pet.
The lvl 8 Elemental spells could summon a yellow con lvl 10 pet (this can be seen on how hard pets max hit is. Pets max hit goes up 1 per lvl.
The lvl 12 Minor Summoning could summon a yellow lvl 13 pet.
The lvl 16 Lesser Summoning could summon a white lvl 16 pet.
From lvl 20 and up all pets is lower lvl than the caster, and gets slowly lower and lower for each petspell rank.

Enchanter spells follows a different path. they are generally at least a couple lvl's lower than Mage pets counter parts for the same spell lvl ranks, and iirc already at lvl 24 begins to often summon light blue pets, but I'm not so good in the chanter department, so don't quote me on that.

I believe something has changed in todays patch. So those of you that had problems with the lvl 24. Check if its gotten better
