In addition to the above stated, the Water Elementalkin also has a faster regeneration rate than other pets of this level.

While they may not have the AC of Air, the HP of Earth, or the dmg of Fire, Water's regen rate allows it to stay around longer than the others if used properly.

I will try to answer all the questions above...

First and most important, malachites can be purchased in ANY Magician guild, anywhere. They are also sold in SOME jewel shops (no two shops have the same list). Remember, any Magician guild. That means where you buy all your spells, newbies.

Second, Water Elems, in my opinion, are the best. They are usually called the most balanced of the pets, and are good for soloing and grouping alike, (very convenient if you like to summon a pet before looking for a group). It has less HP's than Earth, but more than Air and Fire. It has less AC than Air, but more than Earth. It has a good DD spell, but not quite as good as Fire (you won't notice the difference until the mid levels, for the most part). It has incredible HP regeneration, but as with the others, THE REGENERATION DURING A FIGHT IS NEXT-TO-NOTHING. Again, you won't really notice the difference until the mid levels. And to confirm the supposed rumor, it is certainly immune to poison. (The strongest poison would only slow down Water's regen rate though, at best. But it IS immune to it anyway). Overall, I really have found Water to be my favorite Elemental. Now don't get me wrong, others are good for other, less common, situations. I will list the abilities of all the elems below and what situations I have found each best for...

Earth: Root, highest HP's. Good for straight soloing, because of the damage it can absorb.

Water: High HP's, Fastest health regeneration, good DD spell, immunity to poison (not bad AC either). This pet is adequate for all situations.

Fire: Best DD spell, Damage Shield (which does stack with the ones you can put on later on), and AC is not bad. This is good for a group that needs damage more than tanks.

Air: Best AC (I really do mean BEST), Stun spell, and invisibilty spell. This one is best for dungeons and other situations where you really don't want your pet to attract attention.

Well, I hope that answers everyone's questions. That's about all I have to say...see ya on EQ!

I'm really hitting a brick wall in trying to find out just *how much better* the regen was, though. Some posters compared it to Troll regen. I don't think that's too far off.

Oh and the poison immunity is confirmed in many, many places now. It had like 255 poison resist or something.
