Pet Jobs and iLevel: 113 vs 119

[Demon6324236]

Not so sure, the BST update also includes charm adjustments and more BST pets in general, not new Avatars or new Automatons, so they may just not include it for that reason, who knows.

Made some posts on the Summoner area:

Who knows when they will let us know the status of the new summons. However I'm glad they will be giving us new items to increase pet lvls accross the board to lvl 119. Wonder what pets BST going to get??

Hope among the new pets there will be a TH pet, because otherwise I'll still be forced to use Falcorr >.>

Greetings,

We have plans to add new item level 119 summoner ammo slot equipment and animators! Not only that, we'll also be adding pets with a base level cap of 119. Hang tight, we'll release more information on this as we receive it!

Can you tell us whether some of those BST pets will not cost an arm and a leg? Can we have something made with really affordable materials so I don't have to pour all my gil down the drain every time I want to play BST?

Perhaps I just can't find it... but I've looked multiple times... and there is 0 mention of any animator or SMN item....
Just BST pet adjustments.

I thought I saw it but now I can't

WHAT?????
YOU DON"T HAVE 200K PLASM TO DROP ON THESE ITEMS THAT YOU USE UP CONSTANTLY JUST LIKE AMMO!?

For reals.
I think the idea behind the 119 plasm pet for bst is that they are "the same as" the 119 weapons... so a stack of 99 is 198k...
Though why the ammo is so dirt cheap, (10 plasm and 300 plasm iirc... both net you a stack of 99 for less than the cost of a 113 weapon) I have no clue...

I do not play BST.... but I can see how constantly buying the pets with plasm is redic. (cause.... let's face it.... 90% sure the new ones will be plasm pets... that 10% is uncertainty about being crafted only.)
Especially when smn, drg, and pup don't have a money cost in their upkeeps. (they all have their limiting drawbacks: smn=MP+BP cost, pup = frame and attachment limits, and drg = fragility)
And while I feel that 10 or 300 plasm is a bit on the small side.... 2000 plasm is just redic.
They should really lower it to like... 500? 1k at the very least.

Unless the pets are rediculously good I don't see anyone that doesn't just happen to have a lot of plasm spending more than 500 each. I mean even if you assume the plasm you are farming are full 1-5+ boss runs of just under 70k plasm and total time spent on them is only an hour between gather explain etc and no failures that's about 140 jugs an hour best case scenario. It's not that hard to make a million gil an hour so opportunity wise that's over 7k gil a pet basically while everything besides the new ones with really rare ingredients are like 1/4 that. And then for everyone else who isn't getting into full delve clears quick in and out all the time the proportions get even more off.

Really given how much they die and have to be resmned and how much recycle rng gets they shouldn't be much more than the ammo is.

Don't forget about time for a drg pet. and fragility is iffy
