BST merits & Anwig Salade @99 - input needed!

[Zhronne]

Was wondering if anybody has an up-to-date list of jugs and the level they cap at? Not considering Beast Affinity of course.
I have 5/5 atm but my thought was something like: if the jugs I normally use cap at 99, they gain no benefit from Beast Affinity, so I might as well get some other merit.
And was thinking about Feral Howl, something which is not particularly useful maybe, but that I always loved.

So, anybody knows what level do GorefangHobs, DipperYuly and FaithfulFalcorr naturally cap at?


Second question, anwig salade. I'm about to change my Salade (previously was a WS option for PUP/MNK/NIN) into a Waltz recast-2 for my DNC. I have a free space for second slot, and was wondering what to get. Been thinking about Pet: Damage taken-10% and Pet: Haste 5%. Leaning for the second.
Would be useful when I'm getting stones on BST in Dynamis, and could be useful on PUP since I still need to cap melee skill.
Opinions?

I am really not sure about this but, RQ jugs are the Lv they are listed as unless merits and gear are applied, Hq jug are another story.

The only list I could find is THIS ONE.
It reports level 99 for GorefangHobs, FaithfullFalcorr and DipperYuly.
Altough I'm unsure wether or not it takes into account Beast Affinity merits.

If it does NOT then I kinda answered my own question and can delete Beast Affinity merits for something else.

The Jug Pet list from the link you gave is accurate and the testing was performed without Beast Affinity merits (if you want to read the source material for that info, it can be found scattered in this thread on ZAM).

To sum up the findings, capped jug pets are as follows:

NurseryNazuna 86
CraftyClyvonne 90
PrestoJulio 93
SwiftSieghard 94
AudaciousAnna 95
MailbusterCetas 95

Everything else is uncapped.

wow, then I should really rework my merits. Anybody still keeping Beast Affinity merits atm?

There's other augments then pet: 5haste/-10pdt? Peeople still waste ACP and MKT gear on other jobs? No realy. I am seriously asking this. Did they refuse to level past 75 or something?

Anwig Salade remained the best WS headpiece for several ws/jobs until a while ago.
Inside abyssea it still is the best for a few jobs.
The other options I have atm are either better or very close to my Anwig configuration, and so I decided to get a Waltz recast-2 for my DNC since it's pretty unique.
Still, I have a free slot for second space and hence why I'm here wondering what to get.
Leaning for the 5% haste atm.

If you want 5% pet haste, perhaps Spurrer Beret could fill that role for you. BST and PUP can wear it, which I think suits your purpose.

Pet: Haste+5% Damage Taken -10% is the only worth a shit option for that piece on BST.

Oh.. completely forgot about Spurrer Beret. I'm kinda back to square one now, dont know what to get as second augmentation
