New Pet Myths?

[Danille]

then why does this item which has the exact same designation for class and race only a pet item?

Summoned: Girdle of Magi`Kot
MAGIC ITEM TEMPORARY
Slot: WAIST
STR: +15 DEX: +15 STA: +15 AGI: +15 HP: +500
WT: 0.1 Size: SMALL
Class: ALL except BER
Race: NONE

Race: NONE

Range is all/all. Belt is all/none.

The range wasn't designed as a pet item. It's a summoned ultravision item from an era when night vision was still a valuable commodity.

And what does it matter anyhow? The comment was that we could summon something for every slot a pet has, not that we could summon some pet only, let alone useful, thing.

Thank you, Sven, for understanding.

I agree, though, I wouldn't classify it as a pet only item but at the time it was made, it probably was useful for the pet but I didn't play during that era. I wasn't around until DoN was released.

OP, not everything you read on the 'net is true.






Just kidding around with ya. Welcome aboard!

Not to hijack this thread, but I have a somewhat-related question:

If I give pet Item A for Slot A and then give him Item B for Slot A, will he equip Item B and destroy Item A?

This does not appear to work for weapons, so I would guess it does not work for armor. Anyone with expertise on the matter have a definitive answer?

Thanks!

For weapons the pet will equip whatever has the lowest delay. So if you give him a 20 delay weapon, then give him a 19 delay weapon, he'll equip the 19 and destroy the 20. But if you give him a 21 delay weapon, he'll just destroy it and keep the 20.

For armor he'll use whichever item has the highest AC. If they're equal AC... I've no idea How often does that happen?
