Charm pet weapon question

[crazy_nuker]

Hi guys,

Newbie here.

As i understand i can give weapons to charmed mobs for more damage. Is this restricted to humanoid mobs or can i give the weapons also to other mobs? For example tigers or wyverns?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Animals will not use weapons.

Okay, so also no quad hits when giving a torch?

[bomaroast]

Spiders in velks quad with a torch. If they're not supposed to, then its a bug.

No time to write a book as I like to, but I think this might answer some of your questions.

That's not true.

That's not true.

I was gonna say....


...anyway, OP, the basics are this:

You can greatly increase any humanoid charm pet damage by simply giving it a SECONDARY item like a torch, drum, etc and it will quad. You can also do nifty things like giving it proc'ing weapons, such as Swarmcaller (https://wiki.project1999.com/Swarmcaller) in addition to a torch for quads + mana free slow. This is more useful when you're maintaining a single pet for long periods of time and keeping it healed.

Additionally, humanoid pets will equip any worn slots as well. So you can give a pet 2x Adamantite Band (https://wiki.project1999.com/Adamantite_Band) and 1x Rusty Spiked Shoulderpads (https://wiki.project1999.com/Rusty_Spiked_Shoulderpads) for an additional -30 MR which theoretically should improve the duration of your charms....especially so over long XP sessions.

Hope this helps.

As a Druid, what are my options when charming animals? I feel like I have a very vague memory of someone mentioning they can take Face items?

[deven1313]

Would a charmed pet do more damage if you gave it a torch and a non-procing weapon vs. just a torch?

No

Yes. In fact, Magicians can make face haste items (http://wiki.project1999.com/Summoned:_Muzzle_of_Mardu) specifically for your pets.

Haste masks do work for animal pets, whether charmed or summoned (sham dogdog)

What else can animals equip? Rings?

Does it work for necros(undead)?

Animals can equip lots and lots of stuff.
