LVL 30 Black Panther (Female)

[Nullex]

I track this beast with Q Life Perception following the footprints and sometimes see her. I wonder if that is the one you can tame?
Medium Trap says something about panther cubs. I'm thinking you'd track the female, hope she mates with a male patroling panther and has a cub, then you'd trap the cub? Can anyone confirm?

i did not get one yet. and might first get one when game relese. but i read somwhere here that you need to follow her to the cup. as they sayd . the mother will take the pray / food home to it.

You have to observe her. she will go through cycles, when she finds food she will go into "returning home" follow her again via the foot prints to her home and there will be a baby.

I found 3 spots where you can track the female black panther but there is properly more. One of the places the mother panther got stuck at the same place near a cliffside every time i tracked her and I just could go up to her and kill her without she attacked me. After the 5. try i gave up and went to another female black panter spot and got the baby panther.

Activate the footprints, find the lvl 30 panther (black by default). Track her until she is returning home to cub (Bed location can be seen if player is Elite Hunter) wait until you see cub, put medium traps out and kill the adult panther if necessary.
Once baby is trapped take from cage and put on ground to claim (very important), add food to cub inventory (raw meat) then carry home and put in a closed off area and feed until it gets to 100 % adult, feed and water from cub's inventory. voilia

There is a video on YouTube about how to catch her. but in principle, everything has already been described here

Here is a video on how to do the process of getting a panther cub.

Jaguar cub - not a panther cub (yes, semantics) - a panther cub is red quality it looks like. Anything less, is a jaguar....

you dont need a black panther to get a black cub, just keep killing the cub and mother over an over till she spawns one

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been doing - and the reason I made another post about it... such a grind (like looking for the perfect warrior...) :)

And then you get to snow leopard stage after getting your perfect black panther club and never use your panther again since the snow leopard is faster and better in everyway.

If you see footprints , click it, not sure how many times but I think after 5 the animal icon show in your map. When she return home you will see the cub, don't just capture it, Hold your scanning key and focus on cab to see the stat (white-green-blue -etc) if not the stat you want , you can kill the mom and the cub so they will respawn

Examining the pawprints will spawn in a "female panther".

Regular ones don't have the gender in the name. It always at the same level as my awareness strength, every time I go up a level, so does the newly spawned ones. If you see any ones without "female" in front of the name, and a different level then your awareness, you're safe to kill them (and should, if it doesn't alert the female one).

After you start scanning pawprints, it's goes through 3 stages. "finding food (tracking)" will appear above it's name in green letters. Then after it finds and kills something, it will change to "returning home", and it will move over in a specific direction. When it reaches that spot, it changes to "Resting". After that it gives birth to a baby cub, at the same level as the mom's and your awareness strength.

If you alert the female panther, and it starts chasing you, it's possible to outrun it. Eventually it will lose agro. It may return to it's normal behavior (finding food, returning home, etc). It may also just glitch out and disappear.

If it chases any prey outside the special spawn areas, they just disappear. There one second, gone the next. But the area will respawn more.

The quality of the baby has NOTHING to do with the quality of the mom. Black (legendary) panthers can give birth to common yellow ones with black spots, etc. As others said, you can hold Q to scan the baby and look at the symbol to the right of it's name. Grey diamond is common, then blue, green, purple, etc.

If you want to breed them, the only female one I've ever tamed was a legendary black panther. All other yellow/black spot ones have been males.

You can literally just chase the cub with a medium trap on a ghost outline, and then just deploy it over them as they're moving. They'll get stuck inside of it. Forget bait, etc. Trying to deploy traps, bait them, and wait is idiotic. Chances are the baby will never approach a trap, it will get spooked and run away from you and the trap.

You can't deploy traps if there's any collision with small saplings or bushes, so a wide open spot is best. Its nearly impossible to find a clear spot to deploy traps in the jungle.

Before anyone thinks of it, the areas that spawn panthers are NO BUILD zones. You can't deploy anything but traps and similar things. No fences, etc. You cannot build corrals.

There's a wide open glade that's roughly straight north of the rainforest plunderer dungeon, right on the north side of the river that cuts west/east through the rainforest. Huge wide open area, with no small trees. If the cub runs off into the jungle, run in front of the cub until they change direction and head back to this area.

If they're spooked, stop sneaking and just run after them. Slam a trap right over them as they're running.

You might have trouble with the animation for capturing and picking it up out of the trap. Seems ones that naturally enter traps are always positioned close to the end of the trap. Your character will bump into the sides of the trap trying to do the capture animation. But, one end of the trap you can clip through, and actually walk into the trap, and then pick the cub up that way. Pretty sure it's the end of the trap with the door that swings down.

If you want to collect others while waiting for a legendary, you can just put them down anywhere. Nothing attacks standing parked mounts. Unless you're standing next to them, and something attacks you. You can park babies, and let them slowly grow to adult hood.
