  • Something I've noticed about how BST are treated...

    I've recently been leveling BST on my taru character and I've found that I enjoy it more than I did on my elvaan. Yes, less HP means I die faster, but meh, I'm having fun. ^^ I stopped leveling elvaan BST about 8 months ago, at lvl 25, mainly b/c I got sidetracked by other jobs. I decided to take it up on my alt, so that I can just go exp for a few minutes here and there w/o worrying about running to town, changing jobs, doing missions, etc.

    Now my taru is 23 and I've noticed something. Besides the obvious racial differences, the biggest difference is in how OTHER players treat me. Let me explain what I mean:

    On my elvaan, I went to pashow to level. There was a farmer there and he kept yelling at me to leave his mobs alone, even though I had not yet charmed or fought anything. I ignored him and just went about my business. Later on I went to the beaches in Bubu. A couple of people were there farming leeches for the ruby, and again, they yelled at me before I'd done anything. There were also many other random times where I got /tells like <Beastmaster> <death> <Yes, please.>

    On my taru, I've leveled in taronghi, bubu, jugner... many of the same exact camps. Not once have I ever gotten a nasty /tell. Farmers either ignore me or move away, often tossing me a prot 2 or a cure as they go. Other bsts usually respect my camp area and move on once they see I'm there. Not once have I lost a pet to a farmer or a party or another bst. I keep expecting some hostility but none so far....

    Am I just lucky? Has the opinion of BST changed on Fenrir? Or do people just think I'm too darn cute to yell at? :spin:

    I just thought I'd share -- has anyone else been treated differently when playing the same job on a different race?

    Easy way to see is try your Elvaan BST again and see how you are treated.

      Taru beastmasters are adorable. As is mostly everything taru's do, so to many players, seeing a taru gives them a subconcious impression that you are a kid.

      This can be both good and bad.

        with great cuteness comes great responsibilty... or something like that.

        it's a double-end sword tho, yeah tarus can get away with lots cause their so cute, but we also get a lot of hate from others.

        Thanks Yyg!

          its more like poeple get upset because we end up using 2 mobs, then possibly taking a 3rd. kinda why i stay away from mobs that are farmed. but sometomes im like. " hey i can exp an farm at the same time."

          i do notice higher lvl players running by an training most of the mobs. especially in valkum. its sad cause im the only 1 in the area. an i know 3/4 of the mobs drop nothing good.

            After level 35 a GOOD BST won't use up any more mobs than a group. I've gone entire levels using only 1 or two individual mobs as pets... So if you're recycling pets, you're basically only using as many mobs as a party + 1...

            I really don't care how people treat BST anyway though - BST are great at surviving, it would take alot for someone to MPK a BST...

                        Since I've played my BST to 15 I think I know a bit of how hard it is, I treat the bsts I see with respect and often help heal/haste them if they're around my party.

                          thats because all other races are mpk'rs
                          Taru never mpk,

                          and are the only true BST race,
                          the rest of you filfy non taru are bad, and evil,

                          taru for the win!
                          honestly, a taru with the AF1/2 helm just melts the coldest of hearts,
                          example you ask?

                            Haha, there's a Taru BST on Fenrir that is a notorious MPK'er at HNM camps, Gasgul :D He also plays BRD. but I've seen him MPK with his BST. ^^
