1. Charm fancy new pet
2. Go to get pet some XP somewhere
3. watch as gimpy lvl 5 pet dies in 1 blow
4. Resist urge to comfort/raise your poor lil guy
5. Kill stuff for a while
6. Comfort/raise pet
7. Watch with satisfaction as your pet raises to the next lvl when he's raised!
Apaprently, your pet will ocntinue to get XP from kills while a corpse - but will not actually gain his new lvl until he's alive again.. Not sure about range, or 'saving up' multiple lvls to gain when you raise him, but I will test that if someone doesn't beat me to it - enjoy!
EDIT my pet just gained a lvl while still a corpse, so comfort/raise doesn't seem to be needed
