Creature Handler Archive

Well I am leveling a NCH on radiant and myself a MCH on Kettemoor. I am using the same basic plan, I am focusing on all L1 abilities.

With NCH I pull a probot to guard my back, the pet I want to work with (learn from) then go attack creatures at the pets level sending in the pet last while the probot and I tank for it. I use a CDEF pistol for the really low level creatures.

With MCH I pull out 3 of the pets I want to work with (learn from) and attack creatures at the pets level using a CDEF pistol to prevent 1shot kills of the target and then once I have aggro send in the 3 pets.

With my NCH I just tame as many low levels as I can. training and releasing any witout specials. Learning then releasing those that do

With my MCH I freed up 3 slots to keep 3 pets with specials to learn.

In all cases I try to take out the lair after rollovers in the pets so I can get MAX XP from the lairs. I noticed early on that at rollover the XP counter is set to 0 and any extra XP at rollover is thrown away.

I have three skills learned . Eye Gouge, Staggering Attack and Knockdown at L1. I'm still just a novice CH so I have quite a bit of time ahead of me to find some others.

Man i need to do stuff differently. I have tamed dozens of creatues (most level 20-50) and have only got 1 special learned

It is a lot easier to learn from CL 1-15 creatures than 20+ I am finding.

And you will need the L1 skills anyway before you can teach the L2 and L3 skills to your pets.

I have learned:

17 L1's

1 L2

And in my Data pad have:

5 L2's and 1 L3.

What I have noticed is, Thickness L1 is a hard ability to get

That's enough for the break, back to hunting for more abilities

Well I have been spending alot of time just looking for pets with specials.

I spent a ton of time grinding my reptilian flier to get L2 Hamstring. I have a total of 3 specials.....looks like alot of you have been very busy

Unfortunately I am spliting my time between unlocking FS boxes....picked a great time togrind Jedi

It really just clicked in the other night that I should be focused on finding all the level 1 abilities first then 2 then 3

I havealso just began to appreciate how much time this CH thing is going to take!!!!

Has anyone had a chance to figure out if there are any specials that are not worth learning??? This might help eliminate some of the time sink.

Key:

• H = Holding in my datapad


• N = Not found yet

I keep finding repeats and most of the babies I have found were on Dathomir and thus fairly high level... and it takes longer to learn from the higher level babies.

2 specials Aggression L3 and Self sacrifice L3... Working on learning Vigorous Health L2 now. Relatively high lvl pets though. Oh and if the poster above this wants Cowering vigilance L2 I have a male brackaset with it.

I have made an Excell file to keep track of the abilities as I learn them. I wish the list in the /train pop-up could be sorted.

I got up to 24 L1 (missing pinned) 11 L2 and 1 L3 with one L2 in my datapad

No playing for me until Fri night so I won't make any progress until then

According to my records (and i didn't keep track the first two days) I have tamed 97 babies. From these I have seen 15 abilities. This is not a wonderful % with specials btw. A lot of them have been doubles too. Lets not talk about the 'You can't tame that' message either. I've been trying to find the intimidation special, so I've been looking for carrion spats. So far I've tamed 7 normal ones and 8 giant ones, and nothing

But so far I have learned 18 L1 & 2 L2

Datapad has 5-6 L2s waiting for their grind. (yay! more gurks)
