I have been testing out the new cloning system for the last few
weeks. I would like to get a thread started that contains most of
the widely accepted facts about cloning. Somethings might not be
exact (such as the percent each DNA slot contributes to final
resists) but as long as it is close that is fine.

What I know:

PHYSIQUE - probably the most important for passing on
resists and armor

Hardiness - translates into Health part of HAM

Fortitude - if over 500 results in Light Armor. It may
contribute to resists as well.

PROWESS – probably
the second most important for passing on resists

Dexterity - Probably translates into the Action part of HAM

Endurance – not
too sure, probably contributes to resists

MENTAL – if HQ or VHQ DNA with Ranged Attack is placed here, it is
highly likely to be passed on, marginally affects resists

Intellect
– Probably the the Mind part of HAM

Cleverness
– May affect To Hit or resists... I am very unsure

PSYCHOLOGICAL
– Affects the clone Creature Level, probably has to do with To
Hit or Attack Speed and Special Attacks, but I am very unsure.

AGGRESSION
– Fairly obviously to do with damage and To Hit and passing on
Special Attacks, moderately important for passing on resists

Fierceness
– likely to affect To Hit, possibly Attack Speed

Power
– Damage, I am fairly certain

SPECIAL ATTACKS
– I have no clue how the passing is determined. I try to only
include the Specials I want for the final product. I have a theory
that the powerful ToD and some other more desirable may be
“recessive”, that is, harder to pass on. Once I find a
combination that works consistently, I take note.

I know some people have the percentages worked out on exactly how to pass on
resists. I couldn't find the numbers quickly so I will let someone
else bring them forward.

Please, please, please add to this, tell me I'm wrong, what ever.... It is tough
searching through 9+ pages of the other threads for one or two pearls
of information, only to find that they are outdated and disproven.

Thanks,

WolfGuy

wow, those paragraph tags really messed up the spacing of that... sorry.

I was really hoping someone could help me out here....

Fortitude over 500 = light armor

Cleverness over 500 = .50 to hit

courage over 500 - 2.00 attack speed or less

now I am watching the power rating..

People are really hush hush on info that can help on recipes and stuff right now.

Its kinda like when the game started and the few first Master crafters on your server charged an arm and a leg for their stuff. Im sure you remember how they kept all the info to themselves to corner the market as long as possible. Its the same deal with BE. Worse still because pets being made by hand and all, formulas have to be precise to get the desired results customers want. So it will be a while longer because the cat comes out of the bag on most recipes. Keeping quiet means more $$ for those that figure stuff out on their own.

I suggest you come up with a recipe that meets the needs of a particular market and go with that. To do that you have to write down every combination when making a pet. This is the only way you can replicate a be pet over and over. You must know what went where, what quality it was, and what key stats on the sample are.

Possible target markets:
Non CH CL10 Market
1- CL10 market = top of the line CL10 pets with light armor. If youfigure out this formula [has something to do with kahmurrith dna] youll make loads of money becauenot many ppl know the formula. Some thatknow it wont use it because theyre fanboi dev butt kissers and/or think its a bug.

2- CL10 market = top of the line CL10 pets w/o armor, but great kinetic resist and highHAM.Very good money here too. Especiallycaters to those that think the CL10 AR1 pets will be deleted/nerfed.

3- CL10 market = good pets, but not asgood as the top of the line CL10s. This will appeal to folks that wantgood pets, but cant pay 100k-200k for one.Assuming you price them more reasonably 10-30k

CH Mid Level pets(CL20-24
Thiscaters to the CH Dabbler market. These folks wantLight Armor, good kinetic/energy resists, andgood ham (7-10k fairly evened out ham).Depending on your recipe, thismay requiregenerational sampling of 1-2 generations. Good $$ here becausemany BEs are reluctant to spend double the dnato make 1 pet. So few suppliers. You can corner this market.

This market is cut into sub-sets from top of the line to reasonably priced lesser pets

CL 25-40 Market
MostBEs do these along with Masterlevel BE pets becauseCL is less of a concern soits easier formula wise. Not good unless you havegreat formulas thatmake your pets on par with the best onyour server.

This market is also cut into subsets from top of the line to reasonably priced lesser pets

Master Level CL a non-factor
Also easier than lower CL crittersformula wise because CL isnt an issue at all. Many BEs do this though because everyone likes making the Big Bad Monster. Same as all target markets, this one is also divided into subsets.

Come up with a nice formula and see where it falls. Thats your market.

Good Luck

Trust me.... when I find a consistant, easy way to get a CL 20-24 pet with AR1 and good resists, I will let you know. Multi-gen and bugged DNA are not for me. I find mult-gen pets to be inconsistant and not something I want to rely on for creating good pets. It takes too long to take a pet down through more than one or two generations for the money most people are willing to pay.

I would kill for official documentation on how the system works. I would also kill for better CL rules or limits.
