my datapad is a mix of both. i have a couple duo's and mounts, rancor (still lookin for bull rancor and GPS ) and craggy bolmathat are wild. then i have a trio, a couple duo's and high level cats for the tough stuff that are bio. i think a mix is really nice cause you get the best of both worlds. i do miss the old stats on the pets but it wouldnt give be a purpose to make pets i guess

good question..when i first started ch is was strongly opposed to any be pets, to me i felt they were a cop out, as far as getting your own..but the fact remains they are far superior. i collect rares, and almost never use them, i have 2 be cats i grind with. i befreinded a mbe and helped him collect the dna for these cats...collecting mutant rancor is no easy, a dozens samples in 3hrs, we considered productive..i learned to respect be more ..


your wm is lvl50 has lt armor and 40 res..if i recall correctly...i had a 49 cat with 12k ham lt armor and50 res.when you start getting be levels into the 60's..nothing wild can compare, but these are not easy to collect the dna for (time consuming)

i guess i'm biased..i'm 0040 be..collecting samples is very much like collecting babies..i consider it fun, i like playing with the numbers making strong bearded jaxes, kaadus ect...i have never trained one of my creations, i just give them away or use as decorations..still i appreciate what you say, having felt that way myself..i have 2 of 22 be pets..lately i have been hunting wild rancor lairs , i'm sure you know why, hehe, and my be cats stand up to the bulls much better than any of my wild pets...no way i would risk incapping my gps for anything..lol


i would like to master be but i refuse to drop rifle or ch so it's not going to happen...any ch's on shadowfire that want kaddus, dewies, or cupa's made from exotic dna let me know.i have several, mostly in the 30is lvl range, up to 10k ham andup to 60 res..some do over 400 damage

This is your official notification: the ski season is open in Hell.


My PA is in desperate need of a BE/Chef, so I've bitten the bullet and created a new toon on Ahazi who is now grinding his way through BE. The BE crafting grind is like nothing I've ever seen, but my previous crafting grind experience was with Doc and CM (twice) and with architect.


There are no gungan head statues in the BE schematics collections. At best, you've got slightly more XP yielding ABECs. The main reason for having a BE is the tissues, frankly, for when the new toon gets serious about Chef. Tissues are where the credits are for BEs; creating creature monsters is an interesting sidelight that one does as a hobby, more or less, unless one gets really good at creating overpowered non-CH critters.


That having been said, Tazz does not now have a BE critter on his datapad. Too old school and stubborn, I guess.

Being BE myself I use mostly BE'd pets. It is indeed like hunting for rares, trying to get a few (very)high samples off a mire marauder is a pain the ass, and few creatures (grondda juggernaut, reclusive cavern spider queen) are such beautifull dna samples that it's sad that they're almost un-sampleable (don't think this is a real word, but you get the message). Also the cloning is one of the coolest things in the whole game IMO. It's so different from all other crafter professions. Right now I'm trying to lower the level on my CL28 pets without deleting it's resistance/damage. I guess that when ive finsished i'll be as happy as though i tamed a bull rancor.

It's true that you don't earn a lot of money with cloning pets (i sell my non-ch pets for around 50k), and i guess it would be possible, but i would be against it (non-ch pets with armor) cuz it would destroy the ch profession. Though cloning is one of the most fun things to do, and when you cloned your first creature i guess you'll look differnet on it. Though I have found out that if you really want to use be pets than you'd best make them yourself. All pets i've seen on be vendors are terrible for their level, because most be's only do it for a bit of cash to supplement their tissue making (the real be gold mine). Try finding a be who specializes in cloning, so that he can make custom pets that fulfill your wishes (like me but then you have to come to lowca )

Thanks for the responses....yeah from what I have seen on Radiant one of the pet vendors I know charges obscene prices for be'ed pets....I can buy a mantigrue screecher for less money.......but then again there are people on Radiant who will buy anything....
