H: 11k, A: 7.7k, M: 7k

Armor: Light

Kinetic & Energy: 38%

Heat & Cold: 20%

Damage: 350-360

To Hit: .33

Speed: 2.2

Special 1: Knockdown

Special 2: Crippling Strike

Ranged: Yes (Is there such a thing as ranged Knockdown?)

CL: 36

Just curious to know what you guys and gals would charge for something like this. (It was rather difficult getting both Light Armor and Knockdown into the same creature... used Mantigrue Screecher and Grassland Voritor Stalker DNA)

PS: Has anyone been able to get Knockdown & Poison/Disease into the same beast?... can you give me a hint? I tried about 10 clones with different DNA and setups but couldn't do it. Also, is there a creature out there which has BOTH Light Armor & Knockdown?

nothing... i would make it self

If the To Hit wasn't so crappy, I 'd sell it for 95k. 20k penalty for 0.33 To Hit makes it 75k. Based on your post, KD was an important goal, so add back another 10k or so for that, I guess. CL 36 isa really nice CL too, so maybe 85k-95k would be a good price. My price calc is always changing, but, at the moment is:

Health Base Price

9k 10k

10k 20k

11k 30k

12k 40k

13k 50k

--------------------

Kinetic/Energy (for each)

30 5k

40 10k

45 20k

50 30k

55 40k

60 50k

--------------------

Attack Speed < 2.2, 5k

Attack Speed < 2.1, 10k

Attack Speed < 2.0, 15k

--------------------

To Hit >= 0.45, 5k

To Hit >= 0.50, 10k

To Hit >= 0.55, 15k

To Hit >= 0.60, 20k

--------------------

Damage >= 300, 10k

Damage >= 350, 20k

Damage >= 400, 30k

Damage >= 450, 40k

Damage >= 500, 50k

--------------------

Blind,Stun,Dizzy,Crip,Intim 10k

KD,Med Pois,Str Dis 15k

Str Poison 20k

Once I add it all up, I subtract about 5-10k.

Mediocre kinetic resist, mediocre HAM, mediocre specials. I'd probably charge 50k for it.

Forgot to mention my price calc assumes light armor. I haven't been selling pets without armor.

jeez u charge alot lol thats like a million credits for a pet

It can get up to about 220k for the very best pets I make.

Istarted using Anarrion's price scheme after he posted it first time and haven't had any issue over people saying pets aren't worth it. I think its more than fair to use a scheme like that for custom made pets, considering the time anbd effort to make them, and their utility in the game and how long they will last. For ones I make for general sale on a vendor I'll drop about 30% off that price though, as I don't need to be as careful hitting certian combinations of CL, resists and specials.

I have a Durni the survived the BE modification, level 9, 6k/3.5k/1.8k, 22% on most resists, 2.0 attack .23 to hit (ewww), 130-140 dam, stunning strike special.. Yes, this is one of the Piket/lLPB bol pets,still in deed form. Most of the others made with the same method have about 2x the mind, another 1k Action, .25-.27 to hit and moved up to CL 16-19.

bad forum, should have been a reply on another thread.

The question wasn't "What would you pay for this pet"....

I use Wire3k's excel spreadsheet to price my pets.. it's amazing and so easy just to input the creature stats. I was mainly wanting some way of consistently pricing my own pets and this by far has been the best method I have found. I probably should actually thank Wire3k for making this available for us to use.. so thanks Wire3k! You can find a link to the spreadsheet in this thread:

Other discussions on pricing can be found in these threads. There are about as many pricing systems/theories/ideas as there are BE's.
