Just wondering again whether an alternate system for paying stabling fees would be feasible and/or wanted. What I have in mind is this:

Instead of having to pay individually (which is bleh when you have several beasts), you can pay your stable fees up to months in advance into some kind of stable fee pool. Every month when the fee is deducted, it is taken from this common pool, so having 5 beasts will deduct 5 months' payment from the pool.

It's more of a convenience thing, really, but it'd be nice.

You've been talking to Doman haven't you! I told him he needed a giant rat *pet* beast to scare novices

I want a cave-fisher pet.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Something like STABLE PAY ALL (number of months).

I'd still really like personalities if possible, pretty shiny kind loving sweet player-caring admin!

Anxiously waiting my beast to finish incubating.

I wonder what I should name it.

OhSnap ?

Buster!

How does the trans beastmastery skill work? It's kind of confusing...

BEASTMASTERY - BEASTMASTER

Syntax: BEASTMASTER LEARN
BEASTMASTER IMBUE
Power: 10 (any) to learn
3 (any) to imbue
You can master one beastmaster skill and be able to temporarily imbue it in one of your beasts. The skill will last one hour and you may imbue once a month. Note that though you can relearn a new skill, you must wait until the next month before you can imbue it.

What beast skill are you trying to personally learn?

I don't get it. :|

Maybe...

BEASTMASTER LEARN SPELLCASTING WEB?

Or something like that. Remember, spellcasting has two skills!

Nevermind I got it. Apparently you need to use an actual ability name.

beastmaster learn trample

You teach yourself to trample, as though you were a beast.


After this I assume once you IMBUE it lasts 1 hour and gives the beast trample.

BeastMaster allows you to imbue one skill into a mount that doesn't know that skill already once a month for one hour. Since you tried to teach it Spellcasting, I believe that you have to choose whether you want it to know how to web or how to reflect. It's one or the other, not both.

Hrm maybe! Will try once I can re-learn a new ability.

Myrkr has it right. Have to specify which skill you want.

The Beastmaster skill at the moment is a bit buggy. I've bugged it already IG but what it's doing (at least to me) is that when I imbued it in Baz, it works for a little while (pretty sure it's not a full hour) and then it stops working - however it still looks like as if the pet is still doing it (I had curing spirit imbued). When I logged out, and then logged back in about 4 hours later, Baz still had the imbued skill and was doing it again.

EDIT: The imbued skill still sits in Baz's beast info all that time... and is still there now after 14 hours.

Also for Myrkr, considering personality responses as per custom beasts are so hard to make (and costs credits), if they do add a personality thing it's going to be generic. After seeing the same message with 100+ of the same type of beast, firing randomly, it's gonna get old...

Just my thought.

Okay. So.

1. Do horses ever permanently die, aside from falling below level 1?
2. If you want to customize your horse, will you have to pay 50 credits?
3. Is it possible to add custom emotes/responses to your horse with credits?

... I think at least #3 requires an admin response..

:cricket:

The Oneroi have spoken!

You *CAN* customize your horses!

Is there any way to see what is in your beast's feedbag?

Not yet...could be added to the list of things we want.
