Im new to the BE profession.
When making a high level critter such as a razorcat can you use experimentation in theDNA template creationto lower the creature level without sacrificing the creatures HAM?
The reason I ask is that I once bought a Razor cat that had a level of "1(0)". I found that I could call it and another creature (I was a CH at the time) and it was treated as a level 1 critter.

Creature skins no longer determine the level of a pet, the stats do. So if you have high ham, high damage, and speed it will be high level pet even in a gnort skin.

That's a very difficult question you asked. Some feel that you can sometimes lower the CL by experimenting in Psychology. I have found that this experimentation at least, does not raise the CL, and I always do this now. The CL formula is very, very strange. No one has it exactly figured out, and many of the possible outcomes are obviously not even intended by the devs. So really, it's a big mystery to everyone on Earth.

That level 1(0) pet you had was a bug made under the old crafting system, you cant make pets like that anymore....as for lowering the CL, there's no direct modifier to experiment on to lower the CL of a creature in the way you can lower the speed of weapons as a weaponsmith. However, once you craft a creature, you can get DNA samples off of it, and then recombine these to make a new DNA template. This is called generational cloning, and usually, if you use your experiment points correctly, the second-generation pets will have similar stats to the first-gen pet but have a significantly lower CL.

This isn't exactly true. Some pet skins have minimum CL levels.

Yup! on a side note, is there a post cout for elder so I can get a lightsaber icon? These ships are cool, but are a little on the BAQ side. (Since we have been MBE's for so long, imagine you are working on DNA 1 and the quality samples you would get to understand prior comment)

Not sure, but looking at your rank it looks like you made it
LOL I guess the answer to his question is 305 (or whatever his post count is at now lol)
