[Moti]

Bane Dragon can't take the food that's listed on his card, and after a year in the stall, I still can't bond him.The card says what he eats Blackrock Stew.Im have 3 Blackrock Stews but it doesn't work.

What exactly is the message you get when you try to feed him?

public override bool CheckFeed(Mobile from, Item dropped)
        {
            if (dropped is BowlOfBlackrockStew)
            {
                if (PowerLevel >= MaxPower)
                {
                    from.SendLocalizedMessage(1115755); // The creature looks at you strangely and shakes its head no.
                }
                else
                {
                    PowerLevel++;

                    if (PowerLevel >= MaxPower)
                    {
                        from.SendLocalizedMessage(1115753); // Your bane dragon is returned to maximum power by this stew.
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        from.SendLocalizedMessage(1115754); // Your bane dragon seems a bit peckish today and is not at full power.
                    }

                    return base.CheckFeed(from, dropped);
                }
            }

            return false;
        }

So what this is saying is, if you get a new bane dragon and just stable the creature it never has a chance to use its special ability. As such it is at full power and won't take the food regardless. Take the pet out and go use it for a little while, get it to use its special ability and its power level should go down then allowing you to feed it.

"The creature looks at you strangely and shakes its head no."
I understand. Hmm. There is a risk of losing it, since it is not bound, and at the current moment they are unique. Of course, there is also a second way to use the binding potion. Thank you, I saw everything in the code.

Go kill cows or something until you can feed him once, then re-stable it. Let me know if that works.

I've had my Bane Dragon for well over 3 years. I too was somewhat worried about feeding him when I first got him. Dan is correct however, take him out and let him do his thing for a bit and then feed him. As with any other pet there is a training period. Once fully trained these things rock!

The blackrock stew can be a pain to buy from vendors so I just went ahead and did the quest to get the recipe. The quest is easy and can be done solo.

Start training with low level monsters, I started with the ants outside of wind. I then moved into the Ant colony's and went after the Ant Lions. I then proceeded to do a tour of the classic Dungeons and finished with Swoop. The key is to start slow and bring it along in increments.

If you're worried about losing the Bane before he bonds you can always get the Bonding Potion from the store. I think it's only 25 sovs

I didn’t succeed. He used his Breath Attack skill, but still refused to eat. It seems to me not entirely logical. I have this pet on the OSI and it can eat food in any state there. And, of course, this is a risk of training and only then feed him. Then the question is, if he used his skill (Breath Attack)once, should his energy level decrease?

I agree the logic appears a bit off.

I have adjusted it to always accept food regardless of "power" level. This will go live whenever the next patch makes it to Heritage.

Can you make Bane Dragon to be feed with meat?

 

[Dan]

Not unless that is their behavior on production. Can they also eat meat there? I've been unable to find any sources saying they do.

 

[Moti]

they should only eat their own food..this is the legend of their appearance at the event...
