Creature Handler Archive

I'd recommend getting lvl 1 of all boxes first to get the basic commands and to get a set of BE clothes with +25 to taming wild/vicious and maskscent. The taming bonus will make you be able to tame vicious creatures as only a novice as long as you got the CL for it and the maskscent bonus is just right and realy needed later on.

Then it's a choice, going for more storage and commands (training line) to max possible xp from the training or going for 2 pets out at the same time (managment 3) so you don't have to store your pet every time you wanna tame something. I went for 2 pets out first then training.

But as been stated, have fun doing it. Don't turn it into a grind, it will burn you out.

ok,

tips:

buy some stims.

buy a few full grown pets.

buy some cheap food.

high damage creatures can tank, high ham creatures can't.

tricks:

when giving your pet a command use /tellpet "command"

after the CU, always use the follow command after combat.

use your creature specials, such as berserk.

you can tell your pet to attack after you attack if your target comes after you and it should stop coming after you.

try to find a lvl 60 pet at master, and a lvl 10 mount. if your lvl 60 dies send in your lvl 10 while you run away.

make maco's for your /tellpet commands

BE'ed creatures:

visit your local BE. he can hopefully fix you up with a BE'ed creature.

How do I get BE pets? From a BE or on the Bazzar

Do I tame them then take them to a BE?
No you buy the pet
After you get your pet it would be in you inventory. tame it
Then it is placed in your datapad

Well, I use a harvest macro "/harvest meat" to get meat for my Bio-Grinding, so I'd assume you could make a macro for "/train ___". With limmited tamable critters and limmited training commands, it's actually harder to start as a CH than it is to finish as a CH. I'd sudgest taming a critter and bringing it on a few missions, till you master or feel confortable with your capabealities.

I've set up a macro for each train skill;

/tellpet stay

I use the guy sitting in chair icon and call it named macro stay (K.I.S.S.).

I can now click open the radail for teach click it and hit the hotkey for each command I want to train, I suck at typing so it saves me time and I'm not spamming when I train a pet.

Good idea. Won't keepme from having to hit the radial menu each command, but at least it will save me from having to type them out. Would even work for naming the pet. Just have to change the first four macros with the new name. Thanks for the tip!

i use macros for my attacks and have them set to my numpad. that way i can get my pets attacking quick, without having to switch chat channels, without the annoying "a" over and over, and without having to type anything. the only problem is i may have more than 9 commands, and i'll have to find new buttons, but that wont be a big deal

i know this isnt really what you were asking, but its convenient and close to the general idea of the thread

Just F.Y.I.

If your pet doesn't understand your command, you don't have to redo the radial menu, just repeat the command until he gets it.

Thanks for the ideas guys, just another quick question,

What is the fastest way of grinding CH? is it by teaching pets or combat? When I take a pet into combat I only get a very low amount of xp for CH but a huge amount for combat.
