The Innate Ability Thread

[Lamente]

I took well over 100 pics of crabs today. I noticed something interesting.

Crabs get stuff like amorph killer, def bonus, dmg resist bonus, vit/mnd+25 etc. But the 'random inate' trait they got was never any of the skills it can get. It was always a random resist ailment (sleep, bind, gravity etc), or mp/hp+25%. It never randomly got anything else.

My pet is a PLD crab that came with VIT+25 and Resist Sleep innate.

Which agrees with what I said. First trait is whatever is on the card and the second one is supposedly random from everything. On my crabs I never saw anything outside of ailments resists, and hp/mp +25%.

Taken well over 50 snaps of Tauri for a good one. Very Tame while Very Aggressive as well! The Attack +15%, Magic Attack +15% is interesting as well, might try to see if they can be DRK and look into a Taurus that drains or something.

Also, has it been tested whether or not Magic Attack effects en-spell damage?

cought one like mine!

Took 34 photos of Jnuns out in the mire today, 21 were with HQ camera and HQ film, the other 13 were with NQ camera and NQ film.

Out of the 34, I got such lovely texts such as enstun, additional darkness +25, etc.

In actual practice, I got one with +15% hp, one with +15% attack, 2 with +15% magic attack, 2 with +2 darkness resist, and all the rest were nothing, or crappy resist traits, like resist bind, resist blind, 1 resist silence, resist arcana, all that stuff.

Gonna take another 50-60 photos over the next couple days and see if I can get one with enstun innate.

I haven't read the thread but I have...

been takin photos for the last few days and recording the results...

Not gonna post up what I have here because it's all written and I don't feel like typing it all out, other folks can do the testing to confirm (and I hope you do). But what I've come up with is that there's 2 "slots" (if you will) for innate abilities.

The first "slot" is for whichever trait is on the plate, meaning it DOES matter which plate you use to create your Pankration buddy, the second one seems to be random.

Last night I got a Chigoe (32th attempt) with Attack Speed Bonus (Yes, the 70FP one, fuckin awesome) and HP Max +15%... that's 93 FREE FP in abilities, and I still had the 74FP the Chigoe started with to add other abilities of course.

Basically, once this is all figured out... mobs with no innates are going to be useless.

I hope you burn!

I have the same thing on my chigoe: Attack Speed Bonus and HP Max +15%. That's the third person now with the same combo. I'm starting to wonder if the second stat isn't totally random.

That's the innates my penguin has... except Apkallu don't suck.

Fear not, though. I have an idea for a Chigoe build I will try as soon as I become Pit Champion with my little buddy.

[Asdra]

Chigoes just need the right kind of build, and you have to tell it to outrun potential high threat tp attacks like Fang Rush, Beatdown, Head Butt, Onrush, Beak Lunge, etc.

Yawn absolutely rapes though

I found an apkallu that had Auto-Regen innate, but it wasn't on the plate. So it doesn't have to be an ability from the plate, unless Auto-Regen is part of the HP/MP+15% and Resist <status> pool.

In which case, I am now on a quest to find an Attack Speed Bonus + Auto-Regain innate Apkallu. Or Auto-Regen, if that's all I manage. Of course, to get those two together, I'd need like 5 billion apkallus.

[Daimen-G]

Also I was unable to find one that came with Damage Resistance Bonus trait innate

I *JUST* got a Wivre that came with Damage Resistance Bonus natively a few minutes ago, so I can confirm it's possible for them to come with it.

Edit: Pic, now that I'm done plate hunting.

So far I've seen:

HP Max +15%
MP Max +15%
Magic Attack +15%
Magic Damage Resistence
Auto-Regen
Auto-Regain
Tons of Resists

These are all on chigoes, that don't have access to any of those plates. It's highly suspicious that all three people with native Attack Speed Bonus plates and a second trait, got HP Max +15% as the second trait. Furthermore, I got another chigoe with Attack Speed +50 and it also had HP Max +15%. It may not be possible to get anything else with Attack Speed Bonus. If you do get Attack Speed Bonus plus a different trait, let us know.

[Seki]

HP Max +15% is also what my Apkallu got in addition to Attack Speed Bonus.

/facepalm

I've already counted you... you've already said it three times in this thread, and it's only on the second page.

[Seki]

Just a FYI, my Apkallu has Attack Speed Bonus and HP Max +15%.

Holy crap, fighting your monster would be the most annoying thing ever.

That's what I wanted on my Wivre -.-;; Back to Bhaflau for me.

It appears that even though he doesn't have Vermin Killer set as a feral trait, he still intimidates insects anyway. (Wamouracampa intimidated by Wivre without Vermin Killer set on the Wivre)
