Will be looking to breed this guy eventually, just because... but anyways!

I know it's a custom pet, which probably why it had it's high Int/Mana scores of 2000.

After the recent changes I noticed his mana went down to 1000, which I gathered was put in to go inline with the recent breeding changes.  Though mine still says 2000/1000 in it's animal lore window.  Figured this was a bug of some kind.

The other bug is his lack of spell casting.  With his high int/mana I figured be pumping out the spells but rarely casts them, well it does just not like you would think least not to it's full potential.  Thought that might be an AI situation with them.

*additional* after I had my blood Scorpion adjusted to the correct max 500.. i believe all Blood Scorpions and any one slot pet can go above 500 hps with points spent on them as all tame stats have been set to the max 2000 hps 500 stamina 1000 mana limits on each pet that I've brought out and done animal lore on.  I think Blood Scorpions when tamed are at 500 or just a little above, least the ones I've tamed.

I'll have to check the others I have on this just to confirm.

When breeding pets created through XML they will revert back to the initial body type/creature type used to create that monster.


Don't have  a fix for any of that yet as it requires a complete re-script of anything created using XML.

The Ancient Fire Steed does not seem to cast spells though it has over 100 magic skill ratings.

  • When you last experienced this bug. - every time the Steed is out.
  • How the bug can be reproduced. - Use the Steed or Homonculous. :D
  • Whether or not players can gain mass resources from this bug. - not that I'm aware of
  • Is this exploitable for player profit or does it grant someone an unfair advantage. - no profit gaining from it at the moment, maybe a little if it did cast spells... maybe, not sure yet heh.

Pets who cast spells use a special AI for spell casting. If the pet you have doesn't use that particular AI type then it will not cast spells.

Ah okay, was wondering with both being custom tameables. 

With the Homonculous it seems he favors lesser spells over the higher ones and casting of them just seems rare when I animal lore him after multiple mob fights and see the mana level has not gone down maybe 100 points at most, though his natural mana regen might be good.

With the Ancient Fire Steed, being a rare spawn that takes place of Fire steeds i know they only use fire breath and have no magic skill rating of their own.  It's just the ancient appears with it, and was just wondering if it would have the AI.   Also the MAIN reason I'm asking is I actually leveled up one and breed it, guess it mutated and I got an Ancient Fire Steed with 192 magic, so I have an Ulterior  motive for it being able to cast magic.  :D
