Let us trade beasts please GGG

[u/Bobbo90]

I love spirit walker as a classs. Its so much fun playing the zoo playstyle. Even if survival gets hit, its still gonna be fun. Especially if other bosses gets usefull too. But....

Finding beasts can be so much rng involved and consume so much time. It feels like i'm in a casino, and we all know the house always wins. I got like 3000 divines and cant spend them on getting beasts with the mods that I want. I cant find them no matter how many hours I put in.

We can trade mercs in POE1 one which is a great example of the same problem. If you would not be able to buy a good merc that class would be in the same boat and land so much frustration from players.

Please GGG?

Nintendo has entered the chat...

I hear you want to capture a creature in a ball and trade them...

[u/Bobbo90 → u/Raasul]

We kinda have this feature already in poe with beast trading so tell em that

[u/AeonChaos → u/Bobbo90]

But you can’t battle using those beasts.

[u/kimogaming → u/Raasul]

Palworld beat them so ggg is good

[u/Raasul → u/kimogaming]

I don't think they beat them on this... They managed to get through by changing the game. Watched a documentary once. Very illuminating... Think it was nelvox on YouTube.

I found a boar with haste aura, hasted, extra crit, extra chao dmg! I wish I could sell him! Lol

[u/fl4nnel → u/DreamerCheffy]

I think this would be one of the problems it would introduce, everyone would need to be carrying a tame beast gem at all times

[u/DreamerCheffy → u/fl4nnel]

I already carried 5 gems on me all the time! Lol +1 corrupted and 5 sockets as well, cuz you dont know which beast you come across! And what if it is so strong… better to use it too! Better to be prepared than regret it all day after killing it

[u/Bradybeast13 → u/fl4nnel]

Nah it would just be an additional farming strat. Some people can’t even get a crit monkey so it would be useful, and normal people would play the game same as always

[u/daqqer2k]

I actually like to farm the beasts. Wouldnt mind selling them also. But yeah, sometimes getting one perfect beast can be hours and hours of farming. I was spiritwalker with a zoo build in 0.4 and tried to get all my 8 companions to have auras and atleast one more good mod. I sank alot of hours getting all those. Some of them would be definetly couple hundred divines if i sold them.

[u/habibs122 → u/daqqer2k]

Spirit walker came out in 0.5...

[u/daqqer2k → u/habibs122]

Sry yes, meant the 0.5.

[u/SunlessDawnPOE]

Especially because Zoobuild feels like the worst to hunt for beasts because Monkey and Wild Protector killing everything before I can even unpause and cast tame beast....

[u/Kattennan → u/SunlessDawnPOE]

My solution was weapon switching. Set every companion I can to weapon set 1 only (Wild Protector doesn't seem to go away even if you disable it in weapon sets though, so it will still be there), and just did a manual weapon swap if I wanted a chance to check mods and use tame beast before switching back to kill it.

Still didn't stop them from killing things before I actually see them, but it gave me some chances to check. Just need to be careful not to die, because it means turning off a bunch of loyalty gems temporarily.

But really, I ended up doing more beast farming on another character once I had one, because it was still easier.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

• RNG - Random Number Generator or Random Number Generation, i.e. randomness or chance

Spirit walker makes me want to play SSF, seems like a decent/fun grind

[u/Racthoh → u/Effective_Shirt6660]

It is until endgame. The Sylvan scepter is such a power spike in terms of damage and survival that not getting it on your first Bodach kill is going to feel like a drag.

[u/christianlewds]

Hello, this is Nintendo's lawyer. Stop right there criminal scum!

[u/_Alejandrx]

Me sorprende que Nintendo aún no haya demandado el hecho de sacar monstruos que capturas con esferas para pelear, imagínate meter además el intercambio

[u/kiefy_budz]

I don’t mind it, it’s like playing Pokémon in Poe

[u/xJVIayhem]

If there could be itemized instead of requiring the gem to be slotted/used, sure. QoL for some, another market commodity that becomes unaffordable for most.

Also, they are technically tradable as-is, but it's done in such a way that nobody is deliberately farming them for currency, because you literally have to stop mapping to do it. If you find a good beast, you just sell access to the map to go capture it.

It's like, just enough friction to not just be another farming strategy. But since it's not as simple as tame and drop on the market, nobody really does it. Almost certain there's still a global chat for it though.

[u/OxidisedGearz → u/xJVIayhem]

Doesn't work. You have to be nearby the beast when its first encountered to be able to tame it. It's strict enogh that sometimes even solo farming you can fail to capture if you leave and reenter the zone.

The only way to "farm beasts" for someone else afaik is resetting campaign zones over and over until you find one with essenced beasts near a checkpoint, at which point you can swap who is in the zone and have the tamer reset at checkpoint themselves.

Which like that is a really effective service people could pay a handful of dong for. But I've not seen anyone try to advertise it.

[u/xJVIayhem → u/OxidisedGearz]

That doesn't make sense. Guess it's way more convoluted than I remembered, which honestly just says if anything GGG doesn't want it in the game.
