Summoned creature's level should scale according to the summoner's level and summon spell

[Nyeriah]

Current Behaviour

Summons always inherit their level from creature_template, regardless of the summoner's level (e.g Moonstalker Runts, Fen Dwellers)

Expected Blizzlike Behaviour

For example, Moonstalker Matriarches should spawn minions three levels lower than them. So a level 20 matriarch spawns a level 17 cub, 19 spawns a 16 one.

I went and checked them, and the cubs spawned by the Moonstalker Matriarchs follow the creature level from creature_template.

I've found this though:

Several other summon spells have negative multiples, coincidently, the creatures they summon have a tendency to have their level comprised of caster level - spell multiple.

For example: Spell: Summon Water Elemental (https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=17162), Multiple = -2 Used by creature: Crimson Conjuror (level: 57-58) Spawns: Water Elemental (level: 55-56)

It's early to tell if there's a relation between that, but it seems to me that there might be.

@T1ti do you have any information on this you could share?

[Shineslippers]

I just wanna point again to Moonstalkers. There is summoned one: https://youtu.be/Kx9YWaQmnt8?t=407 https://youtu.be/AX2yrGoVxzM?t=5

There is free one: https://youtu.be/IPGahhdXQqc?t=29 https://youtu.be/-b5a2FKz-WE?t=32

And wowhead confirming levels: https://tbc.wowhead.com/npc=2070/moonstalker-runt

Conclusion. I will repeat. Those who is summoned creature should have comparable level to summoner, but other who is not summoned can be any level.

PR's is correct but need some fix to summoned creatures: https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/pull/8210 https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/pull/8002

Fair

[T1ti]

But yes the original issue is true, the summoned creature level should he caster's level -/+ multiple value

https://github.com/chromiecraft/chromiecraft/issues/3686 Tereneckla shared some more sources: https://youtu.be/XxviCVvlIis?t=76 from retail 2015 showing that the Shadowpine Catlord and their Ghostclaw Lynx should have a -3 level difference. https://youtu.be/wS2zGc5I1pA?t=103 from TBC Classic confirms the -3 level difference.
