Ok i am confused as ever..


i try to call a pet and it says "you ahve no chance of controling this creature, set Pet-tradein


ok so i goto a NPC CH and i try and trade in the pet.. i get a creature_trade:[invalid]


i submit a CSR ticket and i get the response that the Pet-tradein program has been disabled..


so how am i suppose to lower the level of the pet?


before it just used to do it automatically..


argg such frustration..

I remember a friend of mine played the SWG beta a while back and i gave him a cupe he could play around with. He goes to a trainer and trades it in, and does he get back a nice little red cupa? heck no! he gets a black ugly kwi with 100 ham thats just crap!
May be one reason why they disabled it, too buggy

Well, it was like that from the day they first brought the feature into the game. I traded in a nice bantha who I had for a long time until they lowered the level of creatures the non Creature Handlers could use and suddenly I couldn't use him. I figured they would give me a smaller bantha in trade, but nooooooo. I get a Lesser Bol. (which I already had one of)


They never made it so you'd get the same type of creature back, they just made it so you'd get something vaguely similar. Example... CuPa = 24 legged pet, Kwi = 2 legged pet; Bantha = 4 legged pet, LesserBol = 4 legged pet



Oh, but yeah, it's broken now. Could we get it fixed at least to the way it used to be? Or change the message so it's not telling us to do something that we can't do?

Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

lol..



sorry but i just have to laugh..


not only does it give the message that you should use the pet trade in..


but there is a whole section in the Holocron regarding the pet trade in..


and it really is disabled?


this has just gotten horrendously silly now..


i've spent the last 2 days trying to find different NPC CH thinking the 1 i found was bugged (that is when i contacted teh CSR)..


only come to find out this isn't working..


so here is my question now


how do people get mounts? since you can no longer just buy them off a bio-engineer vendor (i have yet to see one that is less than level 28)..

Some mounts are naturally level 10 or under. The Lesser Bol comes to mind. You have to buy them from a Creature Handler or have something Bio Engineered for you. I recently got a Bio Engineered Cu Pa mount from a Bio Engineer and he was able to engineer him so that the level was exactly 10 and at the same time he was able to give him great stats. That's the benefit of Bio Engineering. I would go someplace with lots of people and do a search for a CH or BE and ask them about what they can make or train for you, or next time you visit a Bio-Engineer's vendor, see if something gives his name and send him an email requesting what you want. Usually the good ones can make almost any creature a level 10. It might take them a week or so to gather the right DNA samples, and will generally cost you a fair amount of credits.


I got a level 10 CuPa with 10k Health, 6k Action, and 6k Mind,60% Kinetic resist, 40% blast resist, dizzy strike, poison, and he's my new mount. I love him. Of course, I did have to spend a good sum on him. I paid 700k. But that's not too bad really. He rocks!


In short, you should talk to the people that make and train these things and they should be able to help you.

In Short - The pet trade in system was disabled a fair number of months ago. It was a temporary measure untill there were enough CH and BE to provide suitable services.


If youre not seeing the pet you want on a BE vendor why not simply mail the BE and ask for one to be made.


Dont forget to check the BE pages to see exactly what you can and cant have.


You will then need to see a Creature handler to have your pet Trained.


If you have a Char on europe-chimaera please in game mail pe'or

If you have a Char on europe-farstar then please email bayani or europe.chimaera.pe'or (or both)


Pe'or - Master Bio Engineer / CH (Bio Engineered or Tamed pets - your choice)

Bayani - Master Rifleman / CH (never buffed never worn armour) (Tamed pets only)


*edit* In either case you will need to wait for your pet to grow before it can be trained as a mount - if mountable
