Three questions: mimc, karma nature, steed+custom

Jaxeus

Hey Gang,

Got three random questions.

What does hunting: mimic actually do? I've been told a few things now and done some testing but can't confirm anything.

Does karma blessing nature factor into the level 3 limit for health regen? I assume it does but the list in HELP COMBAT ARTIFACTS is specific.

     *NOTE ON REGENERATION: Regeneration abilities include totem spirits like moon, tree and river bonds, stag form, moon drawdown,       sacraments honor, athletics regeneration, lich form. It does _not_include regeneration by items enchanted by Mercy, Perfection, and Beauty.

Does cavalier: steed and custom beast stack in the level bonus for a mount? In other words, is it possible to have a level 14 mount? This is important because beastmastery: battle damage is based off of beast level, right?

Thanks again, gang!

Mimic let's you call an animal to you, but will take many tries, if I remember correctly.

Yes, I believe it does NOT stack with life regen (that is, it is in the same group as regen abilities).

Yes, I believe you can have a level 14 mount.

If I'm wrong, @Xenthos will probably know all the correct answer.

Yes, custom steeds are level 14.

I'm fairly sure that mimic tags a random member of that species in the area, which causes it to always move towards your location when it would move, instead of moving randomly.

A better way of explaining regeneration effects is to say that you have actual regen, which heals a percent of your h/m/e when it goes off, and stacks up to level 3, and then you have mercy/perfection/beauty/kingdom, which heals a fixed amount of h/m/e or does a fixed amount of clotting when it goes off and doesn't stack at all - either you have the defense, or you don't.

Mimic picks one animal in the local area (and possibly within a certain number of rooms, for large areas, but maybe not) that matches that species and forces it to move toward you. I'm not sure if the effect is based on getting rid of the "random" aspect of the animal's normal random motion (like Enyalida says), or if it causes the animal to move as a separate thing from the animal's normal movement (like I've heard elsewhere), but either way what you want to do is spam it and wait for the creature to come to you.
