I had a mounted Cu Pa level 11. Gave it to a Non CH and told him to trade it in for a lower level Cu Pa so he could ride it. He trades it in....

Gets a 300 HAM KWI that has the option to climb aboard (but of course you can't)

Anyone ever here of this? Are Kwi's even tamable?

3 different forms of Kwi's have babies, lowest is lvl 10
BE's also can make kwi's so they can be any lvl

Yeah, this is a result of there not being a CL 10 orbelow cu pa in the wild.


The pet trade-in system was created as a temporarywayto help non-CHs who were going to lose control of their pets when the non-CH limit was reduced from CL 15 to CL 10. It takes your CL 11-15 creature and tries to find the closest wild CL 10 or below match for that body type.


The trade-in system can't create things that don't exist in the wild, though. If you give it something like a cu pa (the lowest wild variant of which is CL 11), the closest non-CH controllable body type it can come up with is a kwi. Unfortunately kwis aren't mountable, so this means you do lose mount functionality on that pet.

... which makes the pet-trade-in fairly useless since most of the non-ch peeps wanted to save their mount (or even their beloved pet and not getting something else back that might be at best another pet of any kind)... *clap clap*

At the time, all mountable creatures had CL 9 or 10 variants in the wild (this was before cu pas and banthas were mountable). Motley kaadu and plodding falumpaset were inexplicably set to Tamable: No at some later date, but I'm not sure if the pet trade-in system is affected by that.


There were some weird conversions even originally, though. Gualamas were changed to slice hounds, wrixes were changed to sludge panthers, etc. This trade-in system has probably long since outlasted the time period for which it was intended. This was to accomodate pre-patch pets, not to provide a longterm means of introducing new non-CH pets to the market.


That said, there clearly does need to be more variety in the non-CH mounts available in raw baby form. Something that will hopefully be addressed if we can get more creatures spawning babies in general.
