    You can buy battle pet packs with money and earn the source of force for the herc but i dont know if you can actually by the herc. Game makes more money when its random...

    You buy Battle Pet Packs for 50 silver each. Each pack will contain 10-50 Source of Force or Phoenix Feathers, in increments of 10. You can trade 100 of either type to any Pet Manager to get the opposite type.

    How do you "normally" get a herc?
    What level is it realistically possible to start working on? to complete?

    I see alot of discussion about how good hercs and phoenixs are, but cant find a thread on how to get one. Sounds like something to do with collecting source of force and pheonix feathers.

    First...you can get at any time. Just have to have the feathers/SoF. Veno's start as soon as possible considering it takes about 20million in game coins or $200 rl cash to get one.

    In terms of which is better, here are a few threads for you:

    Herc/Nix

    Nix

    Herc

    *There are more.....but these are a starting point for you.

    Herc: 9,999 Source of Force

    Phoenix: 9,999 Feathers


    You can exchange 100 of one type for 100 of the other type at the Pet Manager in Archosaur via a repeatable quest. Or you can set a Cat Shop to sell what you have, and buy the type you want.

    The items initially come from Battle Pet Packs in the Boutique and give between 10-50 of one or the other, or some other item. It's basically a "Lucky Box".


    When you get the 9,999 SoF or Feathers you turn them in for either a Hercules Pet egg ticket or a Phoenix Petegg Ticket, but you still don't have one. THEN you turn that in for the actualy Petegg which cannot be traded; however, the ticket, from my understanding, can be Cat Shopped.

    I am a bit unclear still.

    50 silver... does that mean for 50 in-game coins you can get a Battle Pet Pack?
    You can buy boutique items for in-game currency, not just IRL money?

    I cant spend any IRL money so I am wondering if getting a herc is even possible.
    (I shouldnt have said that, they may ban me... b:shutup).

    At the AH NPC there is an option for gold trading in which you can use in game coin to buy Boutique gold, but you might get really unlucky. Some players simply buy the SoF or Feathers from cat shops. The cost at Cat Shops (or even the AH) runs anywhere from 1.5k to 2.5k. Haven't seen anything higher though.


    They won't ban you for saying that since the game is basically F2P.

    Depends on current gold price. At 400k gold, about 75 million coin.

    The Hercules starts at level 1.

    You really should have started a new thread instead of necroing an old one.

    The estimates that are thrown around the forum is 70-80 million. You can't exactly buy a hercules, so it's about gold trading and stuff like that to collect the items over time.

    Right now on Heaven's Tear gold is hovering right around 400k. It takes about 180 gold to get enough SoF/PF to get one of the legendary pets. Now that is on average, it could take you more or less, but it's usually around 180. 180 Gold * 400k per gold = 72 million coins right now for one of the legendaries.

    The starting level of the Hercules is level 1.

    Thanx ya all. I suppose you may not be able to buy through just in game coin but in game coin can help in saving some real money through hybrid means if you really want a legendary pet.

    Looks like if you have the cash, you better buy them pets right at the start of the game.

    Well, the cash estimate is close to $200. Nobody buys a Hercules just with cash, and certainly not when you've just started.
