Forget CL, price on resists/armor mainly. Pets are tanks, ability to take damage is #1.

All the rest is just adjustments to the armor/resist based price.

Resistances and armor are also misleading. As i said I today made a CL10 critter with the resistances of a CL18 one.

If you want a price, price oneffective HAM. Go look in the CH boards on it and get the formula.

That's how CH's determine what pet is best when comparing wild pets and would make excellent pricing formula.

Basically it's a formula to convert armor/resists to HAM, and add that to the creatures HAM for"effective" HAM, and sell per 1keffective HAM, or per 100effective HAM.

Special attacks, speed, damage etc, are like options on a car, they add percentages up or down on the price.

Here's a link to how CH's determine value of pets.

Resistances and armor are the key.

CL only says if you can call the creature. It only matters at

CL10 for a non CH,

CL22 for a master CH to pull 3, and

CL34 so a master CH can calla pair.

What makes the price is armor/resists/HAM for those levels.

The formula is well accepted for "effective HAM" in the CH community. That how we set our prices selling to other CH's, and how we compare pets in the wild to determine their power. CL meansvery littlereally.

I'm starting at around 100k and working my way up depending on how "good" I think a clone is. CL don't matter one lick.

What should the pricing of these guys be? Im thinking like 1k per CL, plus maye a few k for armour levels, then amybe a few more for high resists, and finally a k or two for certian desired attacks. any thoughts on this? People are asking me to sell them stuff but i don want to until i know what everyone else's pricing is. Thanks---ps this rocks.

Your plan sounds reasonable to me...try it out and see if the buyer thinks so as well. 10K for a CL10 mount/fighting pet...not bad IMO.
