I'm not sure if the slow movement speed on the Adamantoise is intentional (I hope it isn't) but please change this before it's official release. The jug has a very hard time keeping up with players, and it's a real pain to have to stop and wait for him. I've heard the Apkallu has the same problem but I haven't played with him enough to see if that's true.

Both Adamantoise and Apkallu typically have -movement speed so it's no surprise these pets are slow when translated over to BST.
It's pretty intentional as normal movespeed turtle/apkallu would deviate from the norm.

Only use them if your staying in the relative same spot?
I didn't think the apkallu was slow... but it has rediculous pathing.

Apkallus do indeed move slow. It's not about pathing. most monsters have the same pathing (Very large monsters seem to have their size factored into pathing, likely to avoid them appearing to collide with stuff, but apkallus are not large) and other monsters don't seem to behave any differently from apkallu when chasing players in the areas they appear.
Yeah, its super slow... I have to wait for pet even w/out skadi feet on... super slow... I have to pull mobs to the pet...
If I"m travelling anywhere, its safer to leave DapperMac or CrudeRaphie and summon another at destination. It means bst is 1/2 power when travelling w/ these 2.
