They have some really good BE pets on my server and I want to buy one like they have a diseased Razor Cat that is LvL 51 with 11K ham Light armor 60% kenetic and 44% energy and 390 damage it's ranged and has stroung disease for special 2 no special one and the guy is asking 800K for it. Is it worth it or is that a close to perfect Razor cat as you can get. I like it my only conceren is that when the new stuff comes out will it get nerfed to a crappier version or will the new patch ones be better than that one and my money is all gone just tell me what you think and also I have a really old Rancor I got made from a BE that took forever for him to make but it's 12500 ham and it does 690-700 damage which I don't see any more what do you think it's worth just out of wonder cause I use it alot cause of the damage but now the Kenetic % sucks on it

As far as the old Rancor goes, thats a pre-nerf Rancor. We can make them like that now but the level will be a lot close to 70, than to 50. As for are you getting ripped off? Your probably better off asking that on the Lowca boards. What do the other vulnerabilities look like? Strong disease is a nice special for PvP but that requires good across the board resists. For a PvE pet your bet off with other special attacks like Strong disease. Best question is does it suite your needs or is there something else you'd prefer? If it suites your needs is it worth that much to you. I would suggest though that if you special ordered it and it fits what you asked for at the price then you just buy it. If this isn't a special order then you might want to try getting a special order for exactly what you want.

I am afraid I'm going to tick somebody off here, but in my opinion, that is a mutant rancor price for a BMB pet. In terms of difficulty, you could throw 4 BMB samplesand any of a number of other critters (different types of rancors, endor critters) and get a CL55ish pet with 11-12k HAM, better damage, and better resists.


These samples aren't hard to get - you can easily gather them without being 1-hit incapped, etc.


I don't know how many Bio E's are on your server but this would be overpriced on mine.


Good luck and go easy on the run on sentences, sir. Punctuation is your friend.

If it was Naritus server and I was selling the pet, I'd price it at about 100k. Barkmite DNA is a bit risky due to their ferocity and bad disease attack, but 800k is just a rip off in my opinion.

thanks for the input guys, but do you think all the stats that are now are going to be changed when the patch finaly goes through like I see people talkingabout stuff that doesn't work and stuff that is going to get changed what is it like if I buy it now will it get nerfed or will the next batch be better?

We have no way of knowing for sure. I think the best way for the Devs to solve it would be a dynamic CL Calculator that would adjust existing BE Pets to the level they belong. It's the most fair way to solve all of this. As for the price on that pet you listed it's a rip off. Now the Rancor I wouldn't ask much for it simply because of low resists.

Wolveta, I wouldn't touch that pet with a barge pole, to be perfectly honest. I never sell a pet I wouldn't be happy to have in my own pack, and that would certainly not include something without at least both specials that worked as a match pair, rather than one pretty worthless special. That pet probably took the guy less than an hour to make - heck, I could probably take 30 mins driving around Dantooine and knock something better out while still in the field.


Prices change by server, but if you are putting a significant investment into a pet then at least make sure the pet is made by a competent BE that makes an effort, not someone that throws trash out for sale at very high prices.


For reference;


Stone Mountain Graul



  • 10389, 10209, 10191, Light armor

  • Kin 51, En 35, Bl 1, Ht 61, El 12, Ac 17, S 1, cold vuln

  • 1.99 spd, 0.5 to hit, 440-450 damage, blind, intimidate, ranged attack

I would sell that on Tarquinas for 195k, and, imo, it blows that cat away.

I agree that pet is crap for it's CL the most obvious clue is the low damage at the CL. I can make a armored pet to battle that in the 40's with little effort and I'm not even a MBE

Whoever is selling that lvl 51 is retarded. I can make things like that fairly easily and I charge about 55k.

Personally I would sell that pet on Chilastra for 150k at the very most... probably more like 130k.

If the damage is that high with such high Kin and armor he could charge that price. Damage that high pushes the level up fast. Only Mutant Rancor DNA can push damage up like that and he did a lot of work to get a 60% Kin. That is a high price but it is a unique pet.
