Since this month's sale started, I got a chemset and since have purchased and trained up two pets. I already had one. I'm saving up for my next. And I was considering a stable for my manse... I think I have a problem...
@Anita@Aeldra@Allixea Since I have you illustrious beastmasters here, I'm hoping to ask a few questions. Like, does health/ego/mana vary by species, or is it completely controlled by what you feed/train them? Is there a different floor or max for different species? If so, then some species would be better as influence buddies, while others better bodyguards, etc. I'd like to know that before I buy one and start training it up. (yes, I'm about to buy my 4th.
Some species are better as influence buddies, bodyguards, or combat companions than others as it is, but it's primarily based on what abilities the beast has inherent. I'll let others comment as to what beasts are good for each, but in general, you want something that has inherent abilities that match what you're doing. Influencing is probably going to be something that has either the type of influencing you're focusing on or ego regen inherents. Bodyguards for hunting should ideally have aggressive, thick skin, or bodyguard inherently, or fialing that scaling, flight, or another movement option. Combat beasts should have some kind of unique attack that complements your fighting style. Most mage guilds have one in the skillset that's good for that, but Dreamweavers also like the Dream phoenixes (or used to), and you might also find a beasty with blocking useful.
As Luce said health/mana/ego really depends on trains and it is the inherent traits that really make the beast. The best influence beast I can think of off the top of my head (all my notes are in a book I misplaced) would probably be the eaf. However the process involved in creating them would probably warrant an enemy status from both the glomdoring and the serenwilde. Not to mention most treaties don't offer protection to beasts and most members of either commune may attack the beast on sight.
The wiki is usually pretty good about listing beasts and is usually pretty up to date. Wiki.lusternia.com/beasts but I think it's missing an order beast or two.
I got a pony to be my influence buddy, but I was thinking of a bodyguard and was wondering what would be best. Didn't realize any had it inherently. Looks like the only one with bodyguard inherent is not available to me. But the rhino has armor and battle... not a bad start.
Oh actually egregore appears better for influence but it is an order beast and thus would be rather tricky to acquire without joining the order and could gain you an enemy status from the order if you get one without being apart of the order.

Looks like lions have it inherent. I never knew this about mine, because I didn't have the ability in Beastmastery yet. (Requiscat in pace, leo.)
That table is good but a little incomplete, if you notice an error I am sure it is possible to find one of the volunteers who maintain the wiki and bring it to their attention.
I haven't ever actually checked the wiki, but they might have confused wyvern for firewyvern
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

Last I checked the wiki is missing moose though.
