Pet Intensity Targets

I understand that the % the calculator spits out doesn't tell the entire story, but is there a list for pets at what is the % percentage for one considered good and great for that specific type?

I don't know if they have a list of things that are at the high end of the scale.

My observations:

All the new drakes are difficult to find at >80%

Phoenix is easy to find>90%

Fire Steeds easy to find with <100 points off max.

Difficult to tell how a Cu will build out with just the %.

Saves me a lot of gold on those 60% PP Nightmares cause they build just fine.

The intensity calculator is a wonderful tool. And take it to the builder and see what you can make with that pet.

Anything that can spawn in multiple-slots will have an easier time spawning >90%. Nightmares, Najasaurus, Phoenix, Lesser Hiryu, Reptalon, Skree, White Wyrms, etc.

This is because of random stat allocation and where the pet can change at. If a pet will change in the middle of an intensity range, they have an easier time spawning at 90%, even 100%. Take a look at a bell curve to get an idea of stat distribution. The closer a pet is to the middle of the curve (when it changes), the easier it will be to get a favorable stat distribution to give it a higher rating.

A pet that spawns in only 1 slot will have a much harder time being an extremely high rating. You need a near-perfect stat distribution to even hit 90%, which can have an extremely low chance of happening. On the plus side though, it should be equally hard to find an extremely low rated pet (that isn't a multi-slot pet).

Most pets will fall in the 40% - 60% range. I typically advocate that anything 60%+ is a keeper, but it can depend on the pet you are hunting and its spawn range. 70%+ for almost any pet is really good.

As Pawain suggested (*gasps*), if you find a pet and you are unsure if its rating is good, send it to the planner and spec it out to see what it can become. A 60% legacy nightmare and an 80% legacy nightmare can get the same exact spec, one will just have a little higher hit points.

Yeah, I've been using the builder in conjunction with the calculator. Seems that the difference from a 60% and a 90-something% may be fully scrolling it in some cases.

90% on most things (that don't spawn in a two slot range) is extremely rare, used to think impossible until I saw a 98% Nightmare. Anything above a 80% would be exceptionally rare also, on creatures that only spawn in a 1 slot range
