Milteck.. I learned that the only Rare creatures now are the Elites. or the Single Spawn Creatures like the great plains stalker. All ther pets are semi rare and baby spawn rate is the same for them all. The *hard to find cretures like the Queen and others are not really trophies since they are about as strong as a level 30 pet, so I wouldnt waste my time searching around for those, if you cant find a queen baby, wait a couple days and look again do not stress it. Until the respawn bug is fixed, we wont be able to tame any Elite Creatures. So right now no rares only semi rares, hard to finds and commons. btw check my forum I started listed the single spawn creatures and i dont have them all. Lend me a hand and jot down some more and ill re fix the list.

Tell me of this respawn bug,..I had been look for the stoneskin and found and killed him like 20 times (in differnet spots) and he never respawned in the same place is that the bug? I didnt know it was a bug I just thought it was the new way LOL






It is obviously a bug because then there would be no way to tame them. We all know that a GPS is tamable and such so why would they not respawn? besides This is an old bug that used to occur alot on talus and rori. Another reason is creatures in double or pack spawns, if you kill onyl 1 or few of them, they will respawn, but if you kill them all they dont, wierd right, so has to be a bug. WE do not know because the Devs don't tell us crap.

Hmm, possibly. But it does sound strange that they mark so many single spawn creatures tamable now, and take away the respawn, so they wouldn't spawn babies.






agreed..but the single spawns may have been overlooked when they made everything on endor tameable..prior to the Cu the frenzied graul read "tamable", yet no one had tamed one in over a year, until the cu..at this time until you see a baby..i would take the "tameable" tag with a grain of salt..





I have another maybe more likely scenario, they did mean for single spawns to be tamable not everything is tamable the gorax is still not tamable along with a few random this and that others,. They were REALLY focused on no solo groups,..so they probably saw people spawn two mission lairs then kill the first round off fly to the other lair kill the first spawn off there then fly back to the first lair ect. I am sure if you haven't done this u have seen it done it makes exp go quicker. If this is not a bug then this was probably put in to "fix" that not thinking about the effect it would have one the single spawn animals. My suggestion please tell all the ch's to /bug this.


(I think all tamable "yes" are intended to have babies tho sometimes there are other unusual factors that stop this from happening that need to be paid attention to.)

My new additions to datapad since all pets became tamable


Aracne Queen

Bark Mite Burrower

Merek Harvestor

Blood-Frenzied Wolf


What I still want


Wild Dune Boar

One of the high level Voritors

Blood Drenched Merek Queen


I have seen so many static spawns of Wild Dune Boars out in Tat that am hoping they really fix the static spawning bug as the Wild Dunes have 8k

in HAM. The Blood Drenched Queen would complete my hierarchy of Mereks where I would have every member of the royal family

The high lvl mob tamables


Creatures like the Stoneskin and Graul Marauder I think are way to weak compared to what they used to be in the game. I would be in favor in seeing them return to their former glory because it would be cool to tame but we would all know how badly they were nerfed. Not that I could tame one anyway being that static spawns are broken but think swg should address this before CH actually tame them then have ch out there who could no longer call them.

Actually I think they should stay tamable, but make the high end mobs like the stoneskin blurrg raptor and the grual marauder the max they can be. Right now they are at level 60, but if you made them level 70, yes they are elite and strong but however you cannot call another creature with them, that goes for the level 1 BE pre patches. That would truly make them legendary and still pretty powerful. If they are as strong as they were in the old system they would be too powerful to do anything with.

On second note the kimogilas disapoint me. I saw a normal one, level 94. Thats higher then any krayt. Then the giants are over 100 and the gianbt dune are level 150. I dont think that is even possible to kill only with maybe a group of 20 level 80s as since no one can really tank them. A legendary level 70 creature could however.

I think everything should be tamable, aside from the gorax, krates, the ackleyand other known to be "untamables" in star wars world. The simi- high level mobs like the raptor and the stoneskin should be tamable. In a world of Huntmasters they would be caught and tamed by the elite, so i feel like it should be that way in the game to.



Hunting rare hard to get babies is a HUGE part of my game and I need more. CONTENT ROCKS! more tamables = more content, YAY


I am VERY excited about the wookie expansion Its gonna add in alot new stuff to tame I think. As for pets The bottom line at this point is they are not done stats on my wild dune boar and squill shifted just yesterday (Thats not done) we are being worked on right now or at least that is the vibe I am getting from what I am hearing around along with there up coming plans. So I have my fingers crossed for the best

Hehe, I agree, however, I would love to see some of these new tamable creatures being rare, because right now I've pretty much tamed what I wanted of the new creatures in about two days, and I really don't have anything left to hunt. Maybe its time to start playing the rest of thegame, lol.

I agree with you. I think anything that is marked tamable is indeed saposed ot spawn babies. I just think the devs look upon CH as a "second class" profession and deal with our bugs when we are bored. They never fixed the Boss creature baby bug. Yes they are tamable, maybe we just havnt figured out how to spawn a baby or... it is bugged and not delt with. The frenzied grual was just extremly rare. .01% chance to be exact that is 1/10000 spawn a baby. I dont think anyone killed 10000 FGs. I think it is just a bug (this bug has been around before) and will probably be delt with in maybe 1-3 years, or whenever the devs feel like it.

I think you're right about bugs. They pick the ones with higher priority and leave the other ones in the game. There are bugs in the game that have been there since the beginning. Now I want people to know if I get this correspondent position, that yes I can report bugs to the devs, but I can't force them to fix them. Until a bug is fixed I would keep it on my list and they would get it every time until it's fixed. I think it's too much to expect a correspondent to have some miracle way of getting the devs to fix bugs. I'm sure all they can do is bring them to their attention.
