Is baby growth random, or is it determined by species? I have a Cu Pa that is only growing 10% every 12 hours or so, but my greater sludge panther matured at an astonishing rate. I've also noticed other creatures having large growth spurts compared to the Cu Pa. So, what's the deal?

For the love of all that is sane, the thread right beneath this one that asks the same question.



Nothing you can do, just wait for them to grow.

Well, that thread (which I admitedly didn't see) asked if there was a way to make babies grow faster. My question dealt with if baby growth was random or species dependant. They are two different questions.


My question is will baby sludge panthers ALWAYS grow faster, or Cu Pas ALWAYS grow slower? This may become relevent when mounts are introduced as you will want good mounts that mature fast, and it is presumed that nothing you do can affect thier growth rate.


I guess I'll see for myself and go grab another panther, as it should be quick to see how fast it grows if it was anything like my last one.

Actually I've been questioning pet growth recently also, my first pets were a swamp gurrcat and a wrix and they both took 3 days or so to grow to full. Three days ago i managed to tame 2 giant crystal snakes and to my surprise they were half grown the next morning and by the next day full grown. However, I haven't kept many creatures around long enough to see them as adults (i'm a tame and releaser and always find something i like better

It seems random based on the person who has it/them.


I tamed 4 Gurreks within 30 minute time span and mine were all 7600 or so out of 11200 where one I gave to a friend is already full. A full day later mine were at 8650 or something.


All three of mine are the same ham and always have been. So it can't be each is random with growth, or they wouldn't all be the same ham and grow at the same time.

Hey guys, I'm new to the CH profession but I'm having a blast with it. My question is, how long does it take for a creature to go from the "baby" state when I first tame it, to the full grown "adult" state? I noticed some of the first pets i got were quick, a few days. But now I've picked up some nice BE pets in the CL 16 range and they are growing slowly. I've heard that it depends on how much you use them and some other factors and I've also heard it takes 5 days period. Could someone of you much more knowledgable people shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

I don't know the formula, but I seem to have much better results by having the baby out & fighting as soon as possible.


My BE'd Kusak went from CL 6 to 66 in three days with this strategy ... so it does seem to take less than five!

Pets seem to have a growth spurt every 12 hours, if your logged in. If you only log infor a few hours once a day then the pet will onlygrow oncea day.

I heard a rumor that the growth of baby creatures goes up 10% everytime you log on. Has this ever been test /or is it confirmed?

Seems to be two growth cycles per day.


I was able to train as a mount a CL18 dewback in just 2-3 days. Once it reached CL5 the train as a mount command became active even though the thing was still baby sized. I trained it, put on my storm trooper armor and rode it around town.I gotsome funny looks since my feet were almost dragging on the ground and my dewback was only the size of a large dog. My wife saw this over my shoulder and could not stop laughing.

You pet will take a rougly a week to grow no matter how often you log in. Calling your pet once a day or having it out seem to speed up this process a little but thats about it.

I had a baby rancor mature to level 50 in under twenty minutes.

I was on dath, tamed one, went down for dinner and on TC3-EP it had grown to level 50...first pet I'd gotten in TC....



To help us test, tc3 has accelerated pet growth, the grow full size soon as you store and call them after taming.

on a side note, Ive got 3 gretaer Sludge Pnathers as my chosen pets, just like the old days, well, aside from none of them having health, they dont want to attack any other sludge panthers at all, they cant tank for me as they lose aggro soon as I hit once with a rifle...

But apart from that, just like the old days
