Talk:Alpaca

Is it possible to gather share with this Alpaca (shearing the Alpaca)?

As of now all I know is that I'm unable to share my Alpaca's fur (cannot let other gather from it), can't trade the fur nor' the robe.

Please, someone confirm. This could mean that the robe is exclusive to the owner of the Alpaca.

No. Everything you can gather or make is account locked. Including the fur itself.

You can actually log onto your alpaca character and have other people shear off you (as your alpaca). I've seen it happen once, though when the alpaca person went afk, he started to wander around, and I think they didn't plan about the mp cost part since his friend left him shortly after.

Legit or Thingthatshallnotbenamed?

oh...wow...you can actually self-right click without "tools"

gg, Nexon, you broke something.

Did you actually test it for yourself or just look through the thread?

Wow... Can we verify this with other pets? Cow, snake, sheep, herb pig, etc.

Every gatherable pet has this option to self-right click.

Looks like some recent update fixed this (only tested with Christmas Alpaca, specifically)

??? Is it really a glitch?

Bump. I keep seeing forum threads about this but I don't have an Alpaca myself to confirm its removal.

“	Occasionally will be carried by the owner instead of being mounted.	„

Uhh, so its basically like Commerce Partner's mounting? Isn't the alpaca bigger than her though, and us too?

Yes. It's supposed to look comical. I believe there's a speed difference depending on whether you're riding or carrying too.

You walk at normal speed while carrying.

Walk or run? I see my elf friend running super fast while carrying it.

Cookie probably meant both. Some users just refer running as walking and vice versa, since mounts aren't exactly rare now.

Does anyone know if this applies to when someone else mounts your alpaca? would be hilarious to see that xD

I only mounted on my friend's Alpaca a few times, all of it was mounting it and not carrying it.

As specified on the detail page the answer to the question is no. Only the owner carries it. Everyone else just a regular mount.

I didn't shear my Alpaca at all yesterday. Today, I seem to have been able to shear over 400 furs. I do not have an extra-drop knife.

Either I got the reset with pinpoint accuracy by accident, or some unused attempts can carry over to the next day. Anyone else have observations on this?

No it does not. I've skipped an entire day and did not get +200. You may have lucky finished or miscounted.

I started with zero furs, and now I have two bags and 39 furs leftover. That's a total of 439 furs gathered. With a knife that does not have any drop upgrades. If it was just lucky finishes, I'd need 100% luckies, with at least two being huge. That just doesn't work out. I suppose I happened to hit whatever the reset time for the counter is unknowingly about halfway.

Hmm...not sure then. You probably did shear near the reset time and it seemed like you had more.

Can you use it for other transport methods or is it limited to wagon?

I believe it's limited to wagon, but my friend didn't try testing. oO

Also, another question in regards to commerce. I'm pretty sure my friend told me his inventory size was 10 (that's up by 2, not 1), and the weight to 1100 (that's up by 200, not 300). Who edited that?

Wagon only.

Sigh, I miscalculated on the weight part.

Fun fact: the Alpaca does not lose summoning time because it's actually desummoned automatically once you start the run

Then why the hell isn't it worded like that?

(Starting new discussion because it's a different topic)

My friend is curious as to whether or not "a day" means in-game, or in real life. I'm having her test it out, but it'd save us the trouble if the person who edited that part specifies. =)

Is there really a 200 limit? I don't recall other pets having one (or there is, but no one ever mentioned it).

Even with enough MP, you cannot shear more than 200 times. But you can still get more than 200 fur in a real life day with an upgraded gathering knife and lucky gathers.

Thank you for the clarification!

What about the sheep and herb pets and other gatherable ones? Are they limited as well?

What happens if you try shearing 201 times?

"You aren't able to shear any more fur from this Alpaca today."

Other pets have no limit. I've pumped thousands out of herb pets in a single day via whole guild gathering while mana elixirs were plentiful.

Considering the stuff you can make from the fur of an Alpaca, I'm not surprised.

With it all being account locked it is a somewhat pointless limit. What are you going to do? Make 500 robes you can't do anything with?

yes

If the Alpaca Storage bags are tradable, then yeah...trust me, it's better than taking a ton of space rather than have 1 confined space for a 100 materials of a particular type.

I wonder why the hell they aren't tradeable in the first place..

Considering how long those other pets have been here for, it's safe to say that they don't have a limit. I think this is mainly so that a mass production of Alapaca stuff doesn't happen.

Edit: I forgot a word there.

What are they trying to do, limit our Weaving training?

Another question, does it reset at 12am or 7am?

ರ_ರ．．．。

Only time will tell...

While we're at this, Multiple alpaca don't share the 200 count right?

I would presume so. Wouldn't make sense if the limit wasn't alpaca-specific.

Never saw the point in owning multiple of a limited pet :x. If that's the case I may spring for another...though I don't think I want to level another alpaca to 60~65....

80 spaces of inventory for 10 dollars is a good enough reason. Practically replaces all non-hotkey or AOE pets (but not like, you know, warp imps).

Dressing room pretty much freed majority of my space, so I think I'll be fine :x

Or spam summoning Ice Dragons to keep the enemies stunlocked, Bone Dragons to dish out tons of damage and cripple enemy defense, or Pegasus to deal more tons of damage.

No, I have 2. 400 fur a day.

Don't know where the scale is, but as I posted in a comment, it's slower than a pegasus, but faster than a nimbus... Somewhere in between, I guess. But no one knows Pegasus's speed rating either. :l

I can confirm that it is possible to control a golem whilst holding your alpaca, and it looks very very funny too xD
