The Hidden Forest

This is different, though not necessarily bad, as a result of the new code.

In the past if one gave tactics weapons (summoned with Staff of War spell) to newly minted pets and then tried to give the Weapons of the Gods weapons, you'd see all the pets with their tactics weapons. And when confronting Rallos those bane tactics weapons would do damage. Now however, the Weapons of the Gods replace the tactics weapons.

I used to distribute the Weapons of the Gods so pets would get armor after getting their Staffs of War. So now I'll not distribute the weapons along with the armor, just the armor.

Anyway this is a difference though definitely not necessarily a bad one. It IMPLIES (not fully tested) that an upgrade in weapons/armor given to pets will be equipped by the pets and the lesser weapons and armor discarded.

unless it's changed, pets should equip item with highest AC, discarding old, and fastest weapons, discarding old.

They should always take the summoned t8 weapons over the rallos bane ones due to them being 17 delay and staff of war 20. Best thing is to summon the pet toy bag, remove the weapons, give the bag to the pet for the armor, then give them two staff of war. After killing the zeks, can just summon another bag and hand it to them so the weapons switch back to godly.

Well this is good....but new. Previously they didn't replace the Rallos weapons. But like I said, the change is fine, just good to be aware of it.

So, what I'm hearing out of this is.... you can just give the pets the bag and they will equip it all?

I knew this was discussed, but never realized it was implemented.

Yay!

Nope on giving pets the bag. Its just that a spawn pet can be given higher AC weapons and those will now replace the lower AC weapons. Previously, once a pet had a weapon it could not be upgraded, you had to spawn a new pet.


But an instant equip donor item might someday be a good idea

Pets should now accepts bags of items and auto-equip the BIS within that bag. And yes, you can swap weapons on the pets now. This was done to remove the hassle of having to re-summon a pet to change their weapons.

Wait so pets will switch to a slower weapon if handed afterwards?

Confirmed bags works on handing to pets on live as well. It equipped all items and the sword/dagger from the weapons.

My this is a nice change! Speeds up pet weapon distribution. Thanks Vaion

Nice too to find pets remain shrunk after camping out.

Not sure how BIS is calculated but...pets will replace Staff of War in offhand with Ornaments of the Gods weapons but never replace Staff of War in mainhand...
