Five. Because I put it away with no idea how long it'll take to stop being a feuts/egg, maybe take an hour break and it's not done, or go for the night, and an hour or two later;

It's ready!

*20 minutes, oh dear, I'm gone to bed (or stuck out in aetherspace...)*

It's dead, so sad.

QFT

Always pay the stable fees for the egg, just in case. But make sure it's in the stable, because (contrary to the message you get) it doesn't return to the stable when hungry.

It's tedious having to look after multiple beasts. I'd prefer to use my single...artifact pet for all I need it to do. And having to go without such basic abilities is a tad annoying. I could care less if +speed is available in artifact form. What abilities aren't available in artifact form, these days? *hum* I'm suppose I got too used to riding as it was.

I am not sure exactly what your complaint is here. Your post is incoherent to me, but it takes 30 hours to incubate. I thought this was common knowledge by now.

They should let us feed the beasts with little eggs we can put in our forum signature! Because there's not near enough crap in them yet.

In a way though, I'm a little jealous of the mage/druid beasts. A better than trainable breathe weapon, and a free movement skill. Collar that thing, and you've got something that, so long as you've trained it a way you like, is pretty darn close to a 900 credit custom job, and has abilities that even a custom job isn't going to be able to get.

Most people can't jump on a horse and ride off into the sunset. Most people at anything more than a walk fall off said horse (I have seen this with so many city folk that think riding a horse is as easy as riding a bike. They always end up on their ass half under the horse.)

I don't view it so much as teaching the beast to trot, as teaching yourself to be able to stay mounted while the beast trots.



I agree



This is pretty much the case with every skillset. You invest 300 credits into it and use 8 skills.



I don't have any beasts with these skills as they didn't seem at all worth it, but I have been attacked by beasts with said skills and my regen was more than enough to deal with it.



I agree it is a bit slow to wait on your beast to arrive from the stables. On the other hand this keeps you from having 10 different beasts and near insta swapping them as needed during combat. You gotta give some to get some.

Welcome to out-of-the-loop.

Huh? When was trotting free? The last I checked, it required a 50 credit investment and being mounted to accomplish. Is this the same as a 450 credit artifact? No, but that artifact gives you faster movement all the time. This one has more restrictions. I don't see how removing the training requirement for a simple utility ability like this is any problem...when it was available in riding all the time and there were no complaints about overpoweredness.

They do try to return. They just starve on the way. So if they're level 1, they die permanently.

Level them up some! And pay stable fees while it's still an egg to avoid the dying thing.

There's a book on beastmastery for those who don't understand it.

Always do pay stable fees. Problem is, leveling them up isn't all that easy for me. Grubs are worth 1% for my Wyrm right now. Need to find someplace better for them.

Influence guards! They're delicious experience (and relatively safe).

except for retraining, the ability to invest credits to get more trains and pheonix (10 minute respawn after death)



I need to work out the cycle that lendren does and break it somewhere, it seems whenever he is around the guards are pretty effectively influenced which then means bye bye nice safe influence xp and hello the crap results. (watched him at the white hart, barely sipped had his horse healing him and five hits per influence then he was off)

It doesn't help that lusternia is lagging pretty heavily for me right now. (seriously, I got overtaken walking around the mountains as fast as I could and never once actually got the slow down message)

I'll need to scrounge around and see if I can dig up my old system which had the nice influence buttons and actually sipped for me.

A small fyi given the limited options 20 minutes of influencing in etherwilde netted me like... 30%

Beastmastery (to get back to the thread topic) is a lot of why that works (though I count six hits most of the time). My pony really helps, but I also have dramatics, an influence rune, demigod plus level 2 regen rune, and charismatic aura. But even then, I sip a lot, except in summer. Summer is what really makes influencing great.

For a few days last weekend, I was able to just go round and round, with the guards coming up again about when I returned to them. What really drew me to this though is the surprising discovery that, with all these boosts, I can do it on my satellite Internet connection. Otherwise, I'd be hunting. But this is the first time I've ever been able to do anything that makes better exp than pilgrims during the 2/3 of the time I'm not at work. So it's kind of a renaissance for me.

Even so, I'd be fine with sharing. If you asked me IC, I'd tell you all about the cycle and portion it out with you. (Didn't I just post that a few days ago?) But there's enough other people doing it now that I only get about a third of it anyway. I don't mind -- in fact I avoid it at times when I know someone else is doing it that can better use the essence than me.

I unno I was just was watching last night



mmyeah, I have a pc that can run pretty much any recently released game to my knowledge while other things are loading and an 8 megabit down connection but lusternia seems to always give me lag. (seriously, running around the mountains using numpad to enter the directions with 4-5 seconds between key press to movement. Mid-influence sips and commands lagged so I was also forced to run which also in one case made the mob stubborn)

The only reason saran is up to 77 is because of candyland influencing when an hour on lusternia wasn't a long time for me.

Still doing it wrong.

Well, it is summer right now! NatureRhythm

Never seen one like this before:
A thick-boned, white mare with strong wings of cartilage

yes because I had no other options
