I recently made a pet on request and am having a hard time pricing it.

Narglatch

CL 26

Health: 8127

Action: 9330

Mind: 8360

Kinetic: 23

Energy: 23

Blast: Vuln

Heat: 11

Cold: Vuln

Electricity: 11

Acid: Vuln

Stun: Vuln

Attack Speed: 2.39

To-hit: .39

Damage: 120-130

Special-1: Knockdown

Special-2: Strong Poison

No Ranged

I have never been good at pricing anything and I haven't seen any pets like this in the BE vendors I've checked so I've come here hoping for a bit of help.

Thanks in advance

Well the way I look at it people need a starting point with certain things they may not be accustomed to. Pricing is one of them. Many players know how to shoot, but trying to fit into an economic system on a serverwhere they don't stand out as the red-headed stepchild because of their pricing is difficult. Now that he has sogallantly been given a price for this pet, he may now move on into the Galaxies world and base all of his ensuing pets on this one. Good luck

By my pricing your pet is worth 94k. I dont' know what pricing system Tal-N uses, but i don't think he has any comprehension of how complex clone crafting is since the BE revamp. It seems to me that 26k would have been the charge prior to BE's having to collect appropriate level'd DNA and all the costs that that insues (travel, cloning, insuring, spice, etc...)

Completely unnecessary Tal-N. Just because someone asks for help, it DOES NOT FOLLOW that they can't think for themselves.

Besides illustrating a fallacy your response is rude.

Chill out.

I would price it as follows:

CL 26= Cl x 1000= 26,000

Knockdown= 10,000

Strong poison= 15,000

Total Price= $51,000

i use space_gunny's formula but also add for kinetic/energy resist (don't bother with the others, they're mostly useless except in pvp)

hope that helps

Newsflash

Most creature handlers dont really care about Specia attack 1 or 2 that BE add to their pets.

Yes its nice but its not what keeps the pet or yourself alive.

What ill pay good money for is Armour & High resists of 40 % - 60%

And other nice gen resists across the board.

That pet is only worth about 25 - 26 k tops

91 k and 51k are just silly money for such a low pet with such low stats.

Tarnblade,

Actually I have been Master Creature Handler for a long, long time. The Special Attacks are wanted and needed by CHs. While I agree with you that kinetic and energy resists along with armor are important, it is the specials that help deal out the damage. If this pet had armor I would have added 10K more. Kinetic resist above 50% adds another 10K.

As far as pricing, these prices are actually very competitive. We have a very hard time keeping pets in stock.

26K

I usually charge 1K per CL for anything without armor and 2K per cl for anything with armor.

Yeah, I have utterly no idea how complex the new system works.... or maybe I'm just capable of making clones faster and with less hassle because I'm a Ranger as well.

I agree with Tal-N, 26k seems ok.

Something I always think about when pricing pets is comparing them to wild creatures. A CH can get a boar wolf from the wild, that is 9k hams , 50% kinetic and other ok resists for CL25.

Id have to say id still be somewhat anoyd to pay extra for somthing that doesnt allways work and is basically still a very iffy.

Pet specials at the moment dont work 100% of the time.

You lucky if they work once in a round somtimes.

And thats if you setup a macro of Follow target and then do special 1 or special 2

So its kind of broke atm

I also happen to have a BE pet that supposed to have a ranged attack, yet it cant be taught ranged.

And other BEpets that are supposed to have specials but when examined when there out, dont display there supposed specials.
