Creature Handler Archive

I am an aspiring Creature Handler/Bio-Engineer. The fastest way to get a skill is to, usually, work on it exclusively at the expense of all others. There are a few exceptions, but generally, that is how it works.

So I need to train CH and BE at the same time, AND help my friend train up to CH and Swordsman or whatever weapon he plans on using now. What can I do?

I had a fellow Creature Handler teach my pet to guard, follow other, befriend. I ordered my pet to guard my friend, follow him, and befriend him so he could give it orders too. Now he had a tank to protect him, and I had a steady source of CH experience.I told him to harvest meat from all the creatures he killed, so resources came fairly quickly. I moved to the other side of the city and started sampling the DNA of the weak creatures for DNA experience, and when I got full, I started making gnorts to grind CH experience on, or sell if I had little room. When my friend got off, I tamed and taught all of the gnorts that I didn't sell. Ok, so that isn't the fastest experience possible, but it is fairly even when considering how much we were training.

This strategy is also helping me get Teras Kasi Novice, I tell my pet (who I bred to have a ranged attack) to attack a mob, once it hits I attack another, etc. etc. until I get many on it, then tell it to back back and I use Unarmed Spin attack until they are all dead. Similar to an Everquest strategy, and a Dark Age of Camelot stratgey, but useable with one person as opposed to 4-6.

Well, I hope my n00b strategy helps someone, or at least intrigues them!
