Thread: LTB CL 10 CuPa Mount
I have seen CL 10 Cu Pa's running around outside of Bestine so I know they are around. I am looking for a CH that will tame one, train it up to full size, and train it as a mount. Give me some estimates as to what that may cost. I just skimmed through a post about someone asking a CH for a lvl 10 pet and offering only 5k. You tell me what it is worth for your trouble. Name your own price.
Reply here or send me a holomail in game
The BIG problem nowadays is that only a CH can grow a cu pa to level 9 or 10, when it can be mounted, and the only way to do it is by grinding it up in combat. And we're talking turning it over 9 or 10 times, which is probably three three hour playsessions doing nothing but fight the cu pa. So you're asking a CH for a lot of his time now to get one.
100k is the very least I'd consider, given that the pet must be on my datapad and I have to devote my play time to grinding it up, instead of grinding my own pets for my own play.
I have one of these on Eclipse that I trained up and taught some abilities... andI only did it because I was able to hunt with it at the same time as I was working on other pets whose abilities I was grinding... and it was something of an experiment for me as well.
I haven't decided yet what I am going to do with it... it seems a waste to just delete it at this point since it was so much trouble grinding it up, but I may yetend up doing that just to free up the datapad space if I don't find a buyer.
5k seemed like the average price charged for a mount before the recent ch changes.
but thats in the past due to it mainly more tim econsuming plus work to roll the pets. i plan on have a few non-ch fully mature and ready to train specials if needed on me in the near future but for now i need the spaces for petds i can learn specials from then get my more permanent pets first before i raise pets to sell. and i think lots of other ch's are in the same boat as well. so for non-ch pets arn't going to be as available as they used to be

Yep totally agree. It's going tobe at least a month before I get back to the point of being able to tame non-ch mounts.
When I do I plan on pricing as follows:
100k Mount trained, Standard commands (NO SPECIALS)
150k Mount trained, Standard commands, Pet has innate special (there when tamed) -or- 1 trained special
200k Mount trained, Standard commands, 2 trained specials
250k Mount trained, Standard commands, 3 trained specials
300k Mount trained, Standard commands, 4 plus trained specials

This is pretty simillar to my pricing scheme as well. I personally count a level 3 ability trained as 3 abilitys.

Yeah,I won't even waste my time training them up, even if it only took 3 hours and you could sell them for 150k you'd make 50k an hour. That's simply not worth it, I can do missions for 10k and make more and have a chance at getting CA's etc. It was kind of fun the first couple days, but afterward it's just a boring grind that I refuse to do.
I will find and tame a Non-Ch mount for 75k(even if it has a special), but you have to level it, then bring it back and I'll train it as a mount for free(well included in the 75k). Simple as that, I will add some specials at 25k per level, so going from L1 to L3 is 75k, then if you want another at L2 that's another 50k,. And so on.

I have a few lvl10s that I did the xp grind with and who are just waiting on specials. I spam the auction channel that I have them available and so far I've gotten ONE question about non-CH mounts. I told them they could have it right away with 5 specials trained including kd and anything else he wanted (I had about 30 learned at that point). When they asked the price I replied with 250k. I had no idea what to charge, but that seemed high enough for my trouble. The guy asked me what kind of drugs I was on and wanted to know if I really expected someone to pay that much for a non-CH mount. I explained the system to him and refered him to the CH forum for info about specials. After a while the guy came back to me and said the new stuff looks nice, and offered me 20k for a fully trained pet. *sigh*
I like this price scheme and I think I'll follow it 
non-CHs have the option not to deal with me, but then again, i have the option to /addignore Mr20k too.
