very noob questions:

1. Do CHR matter only when using "Charm" command? do charming time affected by what you equip over that time period? In other word, can I change a monster signa to an axe to fight mob after I charm a pet?

2. Monster you summon from jugs (ie. Carb Familiar) do they have lv depend on your BST lv or are they the same regardless of the BST lv?

3. What is the average exp per mob if you are solo (lv10-35) (lv35-75)?
what is the average exp per mob if you are partnering with another BST (lv10-35)(lv35-75)?

4. What do you do when your pet is fighting?
a. stand around
b. try find the next pet
c. cooking or other crafting
d. /heal
e. /wave at other ppl
f. /l {hello!}

Thanks in advance

All I know is the CHR thing....it effects the Charm itself, so most BST carry 2 sets of gear. One for charm, one for fighting.

We should make a beast duo...I'm just starting mine as well.

To the best of my knowledge.

Chr only effects at the time of charm, so feel free to swap.

Juggs level up with you;however, they do have a max level... what those are no clue. I do Fungur Familiar and Courier Carrie are quite popular so i assume they have no cap.

3) pre 35 you should be bale to get 70-120 xp per kill especially if you kill your pet regualrly. Post 35 probably 80-140 but seeing as I'm not there thats just a ebst quess. And keep in my xp chain helps.

4)pre -35 you prolly try and get as little aggro as possible. Post 35 I assume you can heal/help pet fight and what not.

Vurin is so nub =O

CHR affects the chance of charming a monster, along with what the monster checks to you. Pre-charm gear (stuff that has "Charm" +1) the only way to guess how long you'll have it as a pet is what it checks as. Pretty easy to figure out; harder the monster, less time that it's charmed. Same goes with how hard it is to charm. That's why familar is good.

It all depends on what kind of broth. "Familar" broths (Those that arn't HQ) have a lower limit cap. I think someone said that 10 levels above when you can start using the jugs, that's the level cap. So Crab familar would max around 33 (?).

The HQ type don't have a limit cap. That's why so many higher level BSTs use HQ crab broth. I'm pretty sure it's true, since there are no HQ version Sun water.

It all depends on what your using, where/what you are, what you are charming/fighting, what level... there are so many factors it's hard to really give a solid estimation.

Pre-35, you have to do this careful estimation. Let your pet fight the mob long until you have to do one of three things.

1. If your pet is winning and the monster is about to die, do the heel/stay thing (Make sure you are out of range) so that your pet dies without killing the pet.

2. If your pet is losing but you can kill the mob on your own, then join it. Chances are it will have enough hate so it doesn't hit you. And if it does, just detarget and turn away. Just make sure you don't accidently hit it so that your pet has a sliver of health left and the pet still dies.

3. Your pet is losing, but the monster is still healthy enough so it would be sucisidal to try to take it on your own. Grab another pet and let that fight for you, then wait for either 1 or 2 happens (Chances are it will be 1, unless your using a weaker pet/fighting tougher monster).

While it's fighting though, i usually throw a debuff at it or two (won't do it alot at higher levels) and then heal, just incase i need to cure myself when i attack it later..


BTW, what is your BST level?
