Feedback for Bst zoning jug-pets

So you would rather be even more in debt?

Simple solution for having to replace pets... level cooking/synergy and/or use less expensive pets if you know you will be doing lots of zoning and/or make some friends who have cooking levelled and dont mind making for you if you farm the mats for them....

Golden rule of post-aby BST: as long as one jug pet pays for the stack then you're doing it right

EDIT: If SE did their usual "much larger cost for little bonus" then you may find the AH barren of jugs.... and then you really would be up sh*t creek without a paddle

Never said I was in debt, Gil is easy to make, as are Chef buddies. If SE changes our recipes to the point where nobody will make the jugs, then they will have effectively killed BST and we can all go do something else. I don't think they're that stupid, they like to make decisions to spite players but not in such a blatant "go play another game" sort of way.

I'm really not sure what the issue is that the devs have with us zoning pets, the sole advantage they have over other pet jobs is their HP pool. It's not like we can buff an entire party with Haste, Phalanx, and enhanced movement speed not to mention a horribly broken 2 hour that allows for near 100% damage immunity. Our pets also can't interact with our party in any significant way, we have zero buffs and a heal that requires 3 charges and well over 100 TP for potency. On top of these things, our pets despawn at each zone and whenever we interact with specific event NPCs, so sometimes we lose pets for the sake of losing them. This needs to change, and if SE wants to increase jug prices that's fine. If they go overboard and kill the job, that's fine too, at least we'll know they were against us from the beginning.

E: Not knocking SMN in any way, they're just as broken as we are, barely surviving on occasional scraps and dwelling mostly in Walk of Echoes.

While we're at it, they should die normally too, not just poof away out of thin air. I've always imagined you're goading something real to your side with the broth, not conjuring an avatar out of nowhere.

I mean what are you? An animal trainer, or a magician pulling pets out of your cabasset?... Please think about the little things sometimes, SE. ;)

I always felt calling a jug pet was more of a "spirit animal" type of thing. (Especially since they don't have subjobs like charmed pets do)
