Thread: Substitute for barkmite borrower dna ?
Wokka,
The trouble with the creatures you list is that probably 75% of customers that I serve want the "kinetic tank" sort of pet. It really sucks that there are so few creatures in the game with that sort of profile, but oh well, we have to sample the hell out of BMB and FG and little else.
When I was making the CL 69's (that I listed in another thread) the other night to fill a couple of existing orders, another guy made a lot of inquiries about what I could do for him at that CL. When I told him that my recipe gave "only" 50% kinetic and light armor" you wouldn't believe how much grief I got over that, lol. I think there seems to be this horrible misconception that somehow when we're making pets there is this big checkbox where you simply select "60% kinetic" "strong poison" and "no vulnerabilities". And that by creating a pet without such attributes is a sure sign of incompetence.
Ah well, I agree though that many of these that you list make great non-armored pets where you are going for big damage, or distilling them down into something in the CL 12-20 range.
Funny that you mention Webmasters. Up until a month or so ago I had never ever seen these before. I know they were out there, cause I saw CH's had them as pets, I had just never seen them on Endor. Now you can't walk 100m without tripping over them. What's up with that? lol

the BMB dna seems to be decent but there's others I prefer much more. Arachne Webmasters and Warriors are great for HAM, power and specials, gurrecks are fantastic for HAM and power, but deranged mantrigues are fantastic for resists. Blurrgs are also great for large ham and incredibly easy to sample. I know we're talking Endor on all of these, so that makes endor my playground.
Also, I've had much better luck with the level 40 mereks (avengers I believe) than with the battlelords. For smaller but dealy DNA I stick to the arachne drones. Easy to sample at lower levels and you get strong poison. I've made incredibly deadly kaadu from those, and they're lower level so they get sold fast every time. (I'll only sell BE pets, and on the bazaar no less) I don't sell CH pets (wild) at all.
What a world what a world

Ooh yes, I almost forgot, there's a wonderful place to hunt/sample/tame on Endor. I don't have the exact coords but its about 4000m NW of the smuggler outpost on a big flat green plain on top of a mt range. go explore.
