    Doing Familiar Wild is a pain. It's very easy to kill the monster. Why they didn't just allow the use of the cage trigger the capture without having it aggro is beyond me. Seems like a good solution.

    Then I found that if you I Catalog Creature it will aggro the monster making it easy to capture without killing it. This works fine on one of my characters. It doesn't seem to work on any others. It just says what creature I'm targeting. Does anyone know why this might be? I can't figure it out. Thanks.

    I also wonder if the drop tables are messed up. I keep getting the same Familiar over and over again. Does the creature I capture change which familiar I might get or is it all just random?

    At a rough guess I'd say it's not Catalogue Creature that is agroing things but something else on you or your gear that is proccing when you cast it. I've been using Catalogue Creature since launch on many characters and the only time doing so has agroed my target is when I get too close.

    Thanks. Yeah. Good point. This would explain what is happening.

    I feel kinda stupid for asking since I've been playing since 2011, and even started to do CC on a couple characters before getting distracted with other things, but...
    My search didn't really explain the purpose of it other than creating the house item. Are there combat benefits for completing CC? Do the books actually tell you that the creature is Enchanted versus Mystical or ordinary versus dire variants?
