Anyone try to charm the other green name creatures? - Guild Wars Forums

Vermilion Okeanos · Feb 21, 2005, 09:39 AM // 09:39

example: moss spider, rabit, dern(??) lizard...

I only see M. stalker get take out of the pre-sieged ascalon...

Cicciro · Feb 21, 2005, 09:50 AM // 09:50

I never made a ranger to charm, but I really wanted to charm the rabbit

Ensign · Feb 21, 2005, 09:55 AM // 09:55

The spiders and lizards were not charmable. Don't worry, I made a stink about that with /bug.

Peace,

There is only three types of familiars. The cat, pig, and the retarded bird!!

Hello everyone my first post!!

actually that's not true. There are other types of pets you can tame.

Xapti · Feb 21, 2005, 02:18 PM // 14:18

...Such as the snow wolf, Melandru's Guard (that what they're called?), (maybe bear in hte future?)

cpukilla · Feb 21, 2005, 02:28 PM // 14:28

Could you charm a bear? I didn't think so but I didn't try. So... what are the other animals you can tame?

Aladdar · Feb 21, 2005, 03:18 PM // 15:18

I'm not sure which ones were implemented this weekend and which ones are alpha only right now so to protect myself, I'm not going to answer.

Bgnome · Feb 21, 2005, 03:26 PM // 15:26

i stayed in the pre-seared ascalon this weekend and this is what i found:

i saw tons of striders around, which seem to be low level moa birds. melandru's stalker, the pet you need to charm for the skill quest, was the only other actually charmable pet i saw. i heard mention of a warthog as well, but the prize-winning pigs were not charmeable. moss spiders were not charmable and unfortunately, i did not get to see a dern lizard. there was also a rabbit on top of the hill near ashford that could not be charmed.
wolves and bears had a skill called "break charm" that would interrupt your charm shortly after you started it. i was unsuccessful at having others with knockdown or energy drain to try to disable it. it seems to be an insta-cast, little-to-no energy requiring skill.

Reaper2k3 · Feb 21, 2005, 03:36 PM // 15:36

There was a warthog next to the actors stage

Siran Dunmorgan · Feb 21, 2005, 03:54 PM // 15:54

I ran with several Rangers who'd picked up Melandru's Stalkers; I agree that not being able to charm the 'friendly' spiders and the bunnies was rather sad.

Did anyone try to charm the Giant Tree Spiders???not the Moss Spiders from Green Hills, but the Giant Tree Spiders from the south-east Regent area?

There were two kinds of spiders in Regent: Giant Needle Spiders and Giant Tree Spiders. The latter seemed friendly, and the former would attack them on sight.

Unfortunately, the character I with which I did most of my exploring didn't have charm skills.

i thought that i would get attacked by both the needle spiders and the tree spiders. i do recall trying to charm a spider (either needle or tree) and getting an error saying that it was not considered an animal or something to that effect..

Misnomer · Feb 21, 2005, 09:22 PM // 21:22

I ran into a large bull before I got my charm skill. Did anyone try to charm him? That would have been an awesome pet. He wasnt green but then again the cats arent when you first meet them either.

Bgnome · Feb 21, 2005, 09:38 PM // 21:38

currently, from what i understand, normal charmable animals do not show up on your radar, red, green, or otherwise. if you look the that color of the text of their name, either by holding ALT or mouse-over, it is green.
once charmed, your pet becomes a yellow dot on your radar. red dot animals are difficult to charm so far. i believe that if you target a normal charmable animal that is not your or anyone else's pet, it registers as a green dot on your radar.
i did not observe this phenomenon all that closely so i could be mistaken.

Dreamsmith · Feb 21, 2005, 11:03 PM // 23:03

It should be noted that the color of the text on a creatures name has nothing at all whatsoever to do with whether it's charmable or not. I've charmed a red text snow wolf, and no matter how many times I try to charm Prince Rurik, it doesn't work, despite the green text. When looking for something to charm, pay no attention to the color of the creature's name, it doesn't mean anything with regard to charmability.

Yea, no luck, it said it couldnt be charmed or whatever, i was thinking the same thing... heh

Burodsx · Feb 22, 2005, 04:08 AM // 04:08

Since the monsters you mentioned had "Break Charm", maybe we should try having a party of 4 rangers venture and try to charm the same monster at the same time.

Bgnome · Feb 22, 2005, 04:16 AM // 04:16

parties in the pre-searing area are limited to 2 players at a time.

Reaper2k3 · Feb 22, 2005, 04:25 AM // 04:25

a single distracting shot might be able to take them, but good luck at that

Hello everyone my first post!!

Wrong.. I had a Snow Wolf and have seen a playful Lynx. My friend charmed it. Other than that I don't know of any others that were charmable in game.
