Strit

how much do aminal cost to buy and how much can i get for it if i sell at lvl3 ?

[andyzammy]

you also get the potential loot it carries once you tamed it, as though u'd killed it. well, at least you used to, apparently this got disabled in previous VU's, and possibly fixed it. not 100%, but i think u'r supposed to get loots...

[Rafzon]

Yes, you get loot when you tame a creature just as though you killed it. I have actually seen the same loots if not maybe a bit more than i receive when i kill the same creatures

well, i guess mainly the whip will hit into
depending on your skill level you can't tame much more than a snable male young i guess and progress over time

the whip depends on tt, since most crafters try full tt, that can be costy, say around 100 ped then
nutrio isn't that much, should be around 30 ped for 1k nutrios, which will last a while
the decay isn't that much, depends ofc, sometimes you kill the mob you try to tame, so you have to start again
say, 50 pec to 1 ped ?

depends on the animal, a snable young you get most likely at tt, while a daiki stalker should be around 50-60 ped
and how much you can get for it, well
depends on if you find anyone who wants a trained pet
i doubt there are that many ppl around, since training (skilling) is the only real thing you can do with a pet atm, except running around and feeding
so, you reach level 3 for the pet naturally anyway
things that might count, is that you sell to persons who
- use it for advertising, needs a lvl3 pet to change the name
- ppl who want a level 3 pet, and dont want to buy a brush to rise the trust

Me too! A soc member loaned me a whip and I tried again and again for daikiba young, mature, old, and provider with no luck. Found out I needed to start with a low level snable snot. My problem was my whip was too powerful and I couldn't control the hit damage 4 - 15 and had to guess. So my tip, or 2 cents is to start with a low level whip instead of breaking out the big ped or you will lose ped in the long run with lootess dead attempts. However I still did it twice so it is achieveable!

just tamed my first pet!

It says tt is [1.4 ped / 1000ped] ,do this increase if I train it? I was thinking if I could drop the deed in my apartment, but atm the tt is to low to be droped...

does this mean that if u "accidentaly" kill a mob you're trying to tame with a whip, you don't get any loot at all? or is there still potential for loot as though it was just a nother mob on ur hunting trip?

[Smoerble]

@andy:
If you tame an animal, it loots as any other mob (so most time no loot, lol ). What was meant above is: if you try to tame 5 times, you will just decay your whip more than if you would kill it instantly. On the other hand you get taming skills for each attempt, no matter if successful or not.

@Kujo:
The TT reflects how much nutrio bars your pet has currently "on it". Training costs additional food, so training will decrease the TT of a pet .

If you want to place it in your apartment, you need to have 30 PEDs TT on it. So if you feed it 30 PEDs, then leave it for a month in your apartment and you want to replace it, you have to feed it again, as the TT is then below 30.


I hope, this helps a little, if not, feel free to ask (or call me on XFire ).
