| Killing the practice dummy counts as a kill for this achievement. |

| It also seems to be one of the monsters for the Zoo one, not sure if it's supposed to be. |

| This is a little weird... it doesn't count as a stone golem kill. I wonder what kind of error could make it count as a monster only some of the time. |

I managed to get the Zoo achievement without ever engaging the Straw dummy.
As a side note, being a non-premium account, that takes a LOT of time to do. (16 minute return times anyone?) :) |

The World is My Zoo
Kill one of each currently live creature in the game.
Progress: 5 of 82
[Dummy level 5]
CSB07i-Palooka did 151 dmg while a practice dummy did 37 dmg.
You earned 0 xp.
The World is My Zoo
Kill one of each currently live creature in the game.
Progress: 6 of 82
[dummy level 10]
CSB07i-Palooka did 82 dmg while a practice dummy did 226 dmg.
You earned 0 xp.
The World is My Zoo
Kill one of each currently live creature in the game.
Progress: 6 of 82
So it appears that you can kill 81 creatures + the dummy and get the zoo achievement, but at least the dummy only counts once, so you can't kill 72 creatures + 10 dummies.
ETA: I've been reminded that the achievement isn't "fight every creature" but "kill every creature". With that in mind...
[dummy level 1]
CSB07i-Palooka did 50 dmg while a practice dummy did 0 dmg.
You earned 0 xp.
The World is My Zoo
Kill one of each currently live creature in the game.

So yeah. Still not too exploitable. Last Edited: Jan 26, 2009, 5:35 pm |

| I can't get my dummy to count as an animal. I know I hadn't killed it anytime recently, so I should not have started with it counted, and I'm currently at 81 of 82 monsters killed. I've killed it on a couple of different levels, and I'm definitely not getting that 82nd monster. |

| I just killed the dummy for the first time in a really long time, and it counted for death incarnate but not for the zoo. |

| Hmm, maybe it counts as a certain specific monster? Maybe the level 1 right next to your workshop? That might fix the discrepancies. |

Certain levels of the practice dummy are just identical to certain monsters or golems. For example as I recall the level 8 dummy is a bronze golem. So maybe a certain level of the dummy is identical to a certain monster in that killing it counts as killing that monster for the achievements. Just a thought.
Edit: I'm essentially saying what Sconibulus said right above me, just expanding on it.
Hmm, do the summoned rats and wolf spiders from spells count for either of the achievements?Last Edited: Jan 27, 2009, 12:47 am |

| If so, it's gotta be the level 5 dummy, since that's what I used in my test... I don't fight many monsters, obviously. Off the top of my head I've probably hit... the giant, the black rat, the goblin bandit, maybe the half-golem abomination, possibly the... ogre? or the unicorn? since achievements came out. (hope that wasn't confusing, I just got up so I'm typing like I'd talk). |

| The summoned critters do count, but seem to be replicas of the critter they copy, as make sense. The reason I suggested the nearest monster is to get the 1 second return time... although that seems to be measured differently, other likelihoods include that it is monster#0 if there is one, or maybe #1, or whatever the default value is in the code. |
