Notes

• Use of this item is on a 30-minute cooldown; the maximum duration of the pet is actually only 2 minutes, despite the item description stating that the ogre pet will last 5 minutes. This cooldown does not reset upon death.
• The summoned ogre pet is set to the local effective level and will not be scaled up or down further, even when moving to other areas.
• The cooldown and the ability to summon the ogre pet is not affected by the use of other objects that create NPCs, such as the Fire Elemental Powder.
• If used underwater the item will be consumed and go on cooldown, but no pet will be summoned.
• This item cannot be used in WvW or raids.

Trivia

• The 30 minute cooldown was added in the 21 January, 2014 release to improve server performance.
