I didn't see this anyhwere so I'll just ask, I see people taming and its always "Easy boy" and "Steady" stuff like that, is that part of a macro or is it part of taming? I haven't tried taming anything yet(I'm 1/1/0/0 on Endor so I don't even try). Sorry if this seems retarded, I jus decided to start CH and I'm loving it

Hitokiri_kenshin - The question about Graul Maulers is answered on the first page of the FAQ thread. Non-Wookie's need 3/2. Wookie's can do it at 2/2.

Orist - Those are standard phrases generated by the application during taming. You don't do anything except stay within range (10m) of the target (which can be tough for fast targets!)

What do you need to tame a Graul. I am a 2/1/1/1. What more do I need?

Here's one, what's the most complete beastiary with pictures? I send people to the CH Boards (those ezboard ones) all the time, but there's no snapshots there and people want to be able to see what's available lookswise.

Not really a FAQ, more of a tricks of the trade for the newbie CH.

I read this entire thread and these weren't mentioned once(something I wish I knew at novice CH):

1. when taming a pet, target the baby and use this macro:

/follow; /tame/; /peace

keeps you in taming range of the baby even when it tries to run and keeps you from killing it if it attacks you. (also gives you a chance to run to the fridge or the pisser instead of having to manually follow the baby)

2. assign all of the commands you can teach to your new pet to hotkeys in a different toolbar pane

i.e. F1 = /tellpet store, F2 = /tellpet group, F3 = /tellpet trick1, etc.

makes training the new baby much less painful

3. Leave one pet slot free in the data pad and tame every baby you see

then just train it and destroy it. What can an extra 400xp at novice hurt? I have 11 commands now so every baby is worth a minimum of 1200xp. Helps a lot when you can't find a good group to grind xp with. Just don't do it when you are in a group because no one want to wait around while you tame achubba(baby).

I am a CH at 2/2/0/0 and was wondering if I can use anything from Endor. I have been there several times before, but this was before I had the 2/2 status. I am currently utilizing a Greater Sludge Panther fully grown for the best defense. I use a young Greater Sludge Panther for the experience. What is the best pet for being 2/2/0/0?

OK I see these commands "/tellpet stay"...etc...how does this work in the process of taming it and giving it a name. Is this just used for critters who you are gonna release? Or is for critters you intend on keeping. Am CH, with 1, 1, 1, 1. Am still tryin to figure this out. What are the list of these commands?

I use 2 and cross-reference them. SWG-Warcry and Allakazam. Both you can find under fansites on the main page as I'm to lazzy to get them links.

/tellpet keeps the bubbles at bay. They are commands to your pet that no one else hears. The commands that follow the /tellpet are whatever you train. soooo for example...

Use radial to train "Attack" then type

/tellpet kill (where kill is you're command)

Same as simply typing "kill" in the general chat after click the radial.

So, for training you still have to do the radial thing to tell it what to train, but then use the /tellpet simply not to annoy everyone while you're training the commands for the selected action. You can also make macros for this so you're not constantly yelling, come, come, come.....

If anyone knows a macro to select a command to train, I'd love to see it!

Oh... as to naming, its in the FAQ, but essentinally you have to train 4 different commands with their name at front (ie, /tellpet bug come, /tellpet bug stay, etc) Once the pet is named "Bug" (in my example) you can train the commands to easier ones (instead of "Bug come" train back to "come" or I use "cm").

Doh.. beat me too it Crooth.. shoot you're fast!

Just got to novice CH and one thing I've noticed that maybe others can confirm.

If I get into combat, I just wait until the critter is dead, then unleash my pet. It seems that as long as the pet gets at least one hit on the critter, I get the full amount of CH XP for that creature; also you can get CH XP for killing babies while you do not get any combat XP.

The highest level creature I've been able to tame at base novice CH is a "very agitated" womp rat (level 14 I believe).
