Thread: Bloodfin People
I'm retired from the pet business, so I don't know what the going rate isany morefor Bloodfin pets. On the plus side, the HAM is nice, thedamage is decent too, and you have two specials that stuck with no ranged, which is also aplus.
However, I would be surprised if this fetched 100k for a couple of reasons.
1. The sub 50% kinetic is a killer. I'm sure you know all about effective HAM - a pet with 60% kinetic has an effective HAM much higher than this pet.
2. Creature handlers are an endangered species.
I'd say 50k is closer to the mark for Bloodfin.
My advice for what it's worth, would be to make a 1st gen clone just to put in aggression (2nd Gen), and make another 1st gen clone just to put in physique and prowess (2nd Gen). For the aggression clone, focus on good resists but experimentdamage tothe maxiumum and spend the rest in physique. For the physique and prowess pet, spend the points there and the rest in agression. Now, once you've sampled these two, use them in Physique, Prowess and Aggression and use original wild 1st gen DNA in slots 3 and 4.
The advantage to doing this is that you can blend the resists with different creatures when you make the first set of clones and your finished product (2nd Gen) will end up having a lot better overall resist profile. True, you will lose the 80% to Heat/Cold/El, but in my opinion it's worth it.
Most wild creatures or NPCs do energy or kinetic which is why these two resist types are so important.

Thank you for your reply. If I'm understanding right you mean I should make two pets to sample to create a third (plus three fresh DNA)? I need to do some research on kinetic resist wild's and figure out where I can get 60 at. Since thats the make-or-break of pets I'll have to find it. I'll sample down the one I made, and work it into a new pet.
I'll let you know how it goes.

I found some young malkloc plainswalkers and sampled them. I took this and put it in 1235 spots and took the one (ugh yes only one) sample from my first cat in the 4 spot. Then I got...
57, 13297/11986/12040, Light armor, 60 kin, 84 stun, everything else vun, 2.23 speed with 430-440 damage, special 1 crippling strike, no special 2, no ranged.
I'm not happy with the lowered damage and the one special. But the health is better and the kinetic, and stun went from ven to 84.

Also, since you're new:
I have 2 backpacks worth of great DNA that you can have for free now that I've retired. No Mutant Rancor DNA but I have lots of Merek DH, Arachne Widow, Arachne Queen, Bark Mite Burrower Queen, Bark Mite Burrower, Ancient Grauls....lots of good stuff. Just need it out of my house.
Message me on -Cookiepuss- and then come by my shop at -4880 3313 near Theed on Naboo if you're interested. It will save you hours and hours of dna collection.
