yup, aboutan hourago I tamed myself an arachne widow baby, after about 2 weeks of hunting them solo (FarStar server), 55 widows and 24 queens dead, that might not seem like alot of kills but these things were not easy for me as I have only a few skill boxes in pistoleer, i died quite a few times also. I tamed the baby on my seccond attempt although i do have some taming clothes, +25 pants, +25 hat, +17 jacket, +17 shirt, oh and the +9.4 almond munchies that i shoved down my blue rodian throat as soon as i saw the little green spider.

On most days i would rotate my 3 delirious merek avengers but today i decided to use my cl 50 tamed gurreck, i never use bio pets. 2 things that i found intersting about tonight, firstly i had never seen a lair like this one, it has 3 widows and 1 queen, all other lairs that i had taken down were either 1 widow and 1 queen or 2 widows and 1 queen, the seccond thing was that the baby spawned when i was away from the lair, i had moved about 200m away to check another widow lair that was nearby as i had killed a widow from there a few minutes beforehand, when i came back there it was

I'd like to say a big thanks to Tivo for posting info about his widow encounters and baby tame, this was a good help for me, especially the area in which to search.

the exact location where the lair was that spawned my baby: 3720, -4570, GOOD LUCK to anyone currently seeking thier widow baby, yes it is as satisfying as you imagined when you see the the green text "you have tamed the creature"

Well, I'm sorry to hear you don't use BE pets. I don't understand why, but congrats on your tame.

Now what I don't understand is that the best pet you can get wild is the delirious merek avenger, with 45% kinetic. But as a BE I've made pets like these, and others with 60% kinetic, Strong Poison/Strong Disease, or any special combo you could want. I'm sure you have your reasons, but they are lost to me.

To respond to the Bio engineer

Its a matter of pride why creature handlers go after the rare pets and the difficulty in getting them is what makes them cherished pets. What great taming story do u have for bio engineered pet 312 that you have made.

You are right that Bio pets can be made with up to 60% kinetic and have a aracne queen clone made in an angler body I use all the time. For pvp I use solely bio pets because they can be one day remade. Kimo's are also a bio engineer only creation where I am proud to have a cl 68 and cl 66 with 570 dmg.

Dont rag on a ch for going out and finding a hard to find creature simply because you think they are not as high of quality. Lets see you make a bio engineered pet with an area poison attack that the widow has.

Congrats on finding your first widow baby. I have 2 and they are very good pets.

I wasn't mocking him for taking the time to seek a wild pet. I was just wondering why he is against useing BE pets. I myself am a MCH and understand the prestige of having a sought after pet. I spent several weeks after the big Armor nerf looking for the best pets. After those weeks, the best I had found was a TMB, DMA, and a measly arachnae warrior. No bull rancors, no widows, nothing that good. So I gave up hope and turned to BE pets.

Sure area poison is nice, but I would rather have nice resists and other specials such as KD/Dizzy combo. I say again, congrats on your tame. Maybe one day I will look for one since they are confirmed to be tameable.

good story, too few of those are heard these days

and im with you as one of the very few "non-bioengineer CH's." I only have one, its a kliknik with 60 kinetic and 12.5k ham and of course light armor. I got it cause i always said thats what the kliknik queen's stats should be, so its kind of a sentimental pet, especially since its been there with me for every rare ive fought for so i'll keep feeding him and give him a home for now. however once i get my bull rancor i will release it on his home planet Yavin.

as for my bull rancor hunt, no i still dont have one. yes i am getting upset that i havent even seen one in 312 lairs and 3 months. and with each shout i make in coronet or on dathomir, i get a fake find.

to put it simply: just give me the baby...i mean for cryin out loud...

I don't use BE pets either, I have ONE, & will never have more. I only even have it because it's a creature that, in its natural form, is uselss but can be BE'd into a useably cool pet (and I love the skin/concept & wanted to use it). If it was up to me, BE ould have ZERO to do with pets. CH are the pet profession, CH's are inherently about taming. HANDLING. **edit** is the deal with making a SECOND profession to yank the rug out from under CH's??

I don't hate BE's or want them nerfed or to be no good. I just want them OUT of CH, or at the most, supplementary, not able t odo core CH inherent things...much better. It boggles the mind why BE's can't do things for...oh I dunno...PLAYERS??

BE should be the ones who "buff" players...not DOCTORS. Doctors FIX what's broken. BE's would be the ones to give superhuman stats., etc..

The main reason I dont use BE pets is roleplay really, mycharacter is a real wilderness guy, spends days on end sometimes without seeing a building (if i felt like writing a bio on him he'd be the kind of character that cannot read or write and feels more comfortable around animals then around people) just out there searching for creatures and learning thier spawning patterns, and not just the rares but any creature that I happen to like to look of, although the rares do take priority in the datapad

There are only a few creatures that are truly rare, but there are also many creatures that are uncommon, for example when was the last time you seena 'slum rat baby' these are very low level and usually spawn around player housing on tatooine, they dont have lairs and i bet if you actually tried to go and look for one it would take you quite some time, would be cool if someone would compile a list of uncommon pets too, give something for the low level CH to go out and look for, like wasteland cu pa or prowling gurrek etc

Ido like BE pets and i see why people like to use them, but like enigma said all my pets have a little storyto go with them and its hard not to get attached to them. Also i never rename my pets, i have names for them all but that stays in my mind, when i pull out my swamp stalker or arachne widow i want people to see what they are, that way they can see that I take my proffesion seriously and play it for fun and not to be 'uber', not that CH is capable of even smelling the word uber these days mind you

when i see a CH with a cl 69 gurreck with 60% kinetic and huge ham i can admire that because i can see the he/she is a true combat CH and wants to go out and really hurt stuff. Its just not the way i want to play my game. I dont know how else to explain it, lets just say that i did most of my CH XP through 'tame-train-release'.

I have quite a few real pets in the pad growing all tamed by me, very proud of all of them, BUT and a big BUT nearly all my exp that havegotten so afar iswith a BE pet. Its handy to have a lowish pet for groups, that will pull in the max exp im likly to get and also be able to do a good job. He is great last time i was in trouble he tanked 3 sharnaffs while i was incapped and saved his own butt - by running like crazy till they lost aggro and then ran all the way back to be healed with out a single command from me. He is a level 20 BE kwi with 45% kinetic. Ideal for exp groups, he gets me high exp from being low level while being tough enough to actually tank a bit in an emergency, cant praise him high enough. He is not exotic or rare or highly prized but does a good job.

Well Stakk, I admire your honesty. I understand now why you prefer wild pets. You give hope the CH community and hopefully one day better pets will be made tameable for CHs such as yourself. Happy hunting to you and good luck with your next exotic pet hunt.

"...although i do have some taming clothes, +25 pants, +25 hat, +17 jacket, +17 shirt, oh and the +9.4 almond munchies..."

As I understand it, the maximum bonus from clothing for a single skillmod is +25, even though your skills window shows you as having more (display bug).

That is correct. The max bonus any BE tissue can give a player is +25.

Got to say it gave me a chuckle when I saw all the taming clothes he was wearing

As far as BE pets, when I was a MCH (back in the day) I never had a BE pet even though I was/am a MBE LoL

To me, IMHO, BE pets "feel" kinda empty. Nothing more then mathematical stats binded to some creature "skin"... Don't get me wrong, that is essentially what all creatures/NPC/Players are but at least when it is "wild" you can kinda roleplay it and pretend it is a "real" SWG creature.... kinda hard to do when you have a BE bunny with a AR1 value with 60% kinetic, 40% energy, 80% heat/electricity/acid (standard BMB dna clone).
