Guess you're not a BE. The cap for kinetic resists is 60%. You can tell because if you put together 5 merek harvester samples (75% kinetic) it will come out to 60 anyway.

A few points I'd like to make:

1. Kinetic & Energy resists cannot exceed 60%
2. The following things cannot be determined from the pet deed so to be eligable the BE would also have to be Master CH (or very high up in CH):-
Ferocity
Death Blows
Proection Type (special or effective)
Restrain Resist
3. To prove the validity of the pet it would need to be tamed by a CH and not in Deed form as there is no way to tell if a 'new' forumula pet is valid
4. Other people have posted similar 'fun competitions' in an attempt to get BE's to fight it out over your custom order and have been met by hostility and disgust.

I dont know how prices on the US servers have changed lately but from pricing discussions several months ago, even if such a pet were possible most BE wouldnt even consider it for 500k

Lol, please do some research before posting something on a professions board first, it irritates the locals.


Here are the flaws with your competition. First Kin and Energy resist cap at 60. Second, this looks to be a pet for PvP, which is kinda useless unless the pet has 100% Heat resist 100%Blast/60Kinor Strong Poison/Disease to battle Commando and/or TKA/Swordsmen, because any other profession will wreck your pet, which is why Poison/Disease would be useful for atleast some lasting damage.


So if this is a PvP pet, why do you want cold resist on it? I try my hardest to get Cold vuln to lower the CL. 60Kin and 60Energy resist is EXTREMELY hard to get in 1 pet with light armor, I'd doubt someone would sell the recipe for 500k, the pet alone would be worth a pretty penny.


And lastely, this is a SERVER COMPETITION. You will have much more success if you post it on your servers forum. I participated in a BE competition on my forum that was posted on the trade forums, I know that many people will check their server forums and trade forums a lot more than their profession's forum. Most profession forums are repetative so people don't read them as often as their server forums.

Your criteria are so ambiguous that even if I wanted to participate in such a thing I wouldn't even know where to start (e.g. is a CL 35 10k HAM 50% blast 50% heatresists pet better than a CL 70 13k HAM 60% blast 40% heat resistspet?). It really sounds to me like are you looking for a pet you can take pride in but have noclue at all what you want.


Anyhow, if we really did want to do a contest type of thing (which I think could actually be fun), we could have real criteria, like pick a max CL valueand then see who can make the pet with the highest HAM, or the highest damage, or highest cumulative resists, or some such. At least then there could be an actual objective determination of a "winner". This is nothing more than a "reverse auction".
