I was just being thorough in case someone thinks they are not supposed to have a weapon when first summoned.

From 2004 yes out era but poster talks about original pets.

"The original balance was necro pet was overpowered(generally beefy), you have 4 various mage pets for specialty purposes, and you had ginsu bob (because ours had the lowest delay weapons to start with); all pets started duel wielding at 29 (if given weapons), our pet also seemed to have a much higher innate dex."


PS

Found site from 2000 that Reinforces # 2 from my first post.

"General Pet Information


Adding weapons to pets only allows them to duel wield, it does not alter their Damage or Attack Speed. However pets that inherently do less damage than a weapons damage will benefit from receiving weapons, only if the weapon's damage is greater than the pets maximum damage divided by 2 will it increase the damage the pet does. (I think this works on pets up to and including level 16 summons).



When pets receive weapons they will automatically use the weapons with the lowest attack delay."
