Re: Giraffe calf frustration
I found TWO giraffe mini-pets last night, within a very short time.. and I killed them before being able to capture them.
I have NO idea how to time it so that its level is low enough to tame, but not enough for any attack to kill it.
I've tried switching out pets, nothing seems to work. is there a "pass" button? I haven't seen it.
Besides, many times i notice my battlepet will attack before I even get the chance to press a button.
add to the frustration: for some odd reason, my pets seem to do MASSIVE amounts of damage on their very last attack, but do rinky-dink puny damage at the beginning of a fight.

This is what I do with my Pterodaxx Hatchling. Works great!Twila wrote:A good pet to use I found is the Ruby Sapling for pet farming. Level it up and it has a skill that is a self heal. I find when after pets I use him, and just let him sit there self healing while I spam trap until it lands. I've cought several rares that otherwise would have died or killed off my team trying to get if not for that guy. <3

I suspect it's because that portion is filled with lions. I've noticed that they do attack the giraffe adults now and then, leaving orphaned calves wandering around.Kurasu wrote:Actually, not all the calves are linked to adult giraffes. In the north portion, there are occasionally calves wandering around without an adult. However, there are definitely spawns linked with the herds as well.

Re: Giraffe calf frustration
Something that might help. If it dies and you log out without exiting combat it should respawn as it was. Same quality, same creature. I haven't tested this personally but other people I trust have. The devs are also aware of it but don't seem to mind too much.Boven wrote:I've run across three. Two are poor quality, the third I accidentally killed. I was trying to be careful and whittle its health down, then my pet got some zomg-super-crit-of-doom and the lil guy died.

They're a pain to catch, though. It really beat up my team.

Re: Giraffe calf frustration
I'm sure I read somewhere that there was one combat pet that would not hit its opponent below x number of health, which would make capture much easier, avoiding accidental kills.
