Geeze you plan on selling dirt cheap, what about the 5 blackrocks needed? What about the fact that you need 240 tinkering to make those, gear isn't cheap or even easy to come by, its gotta be taken into consideration when setting a price!
No Thorgal it was my fault. I forgot to add in the 5 blackrock when I broke down for him on what it cost me to craft that thing.
Now I'll be honest from a resource seeking player.
As neat as this idea is. And as much as I thought the beetles were just cute to have..
These mining pets are pointless. Its more work and takes much more time to use them then there is any benefit. We have portable forges. So the pet mining and smelting is neat. But makes things even harder. Its just has easy to use a portable forge then it is to babysit a pet. You have to watch him to make sure he isn't going over weight, or is he even mining, and is he happy.
I understand its a prototype. But unless the major ore pets have some massive benefit. I see these only being vanity pets and or for those who want to sit and babysit a pet when resource gathering is already so so boring.
Yes this is just an easily crafted, base golem and is being tested. We are planning to make advanced golems out of the other metals, choose AI, resists, special abilities, special defenses all based on the material types and owner that controls it. We will also be adding sockets and special augments that will enhance the golems, really cool system coming The rare ore ones would need to be able to use a garg pickaxe and be able to kill the ele that it summons. That would be the only benefit I can see. Or that these guys bump the ore type 1-2 times. Then maybe I can see using them sometimes.
Other than that. I really see no reason to make one and use it.
Just my open and honest point of view. I hope others will say what they like and what benefits these pets give them. Maybe there is something I am missing.
