Mages were HORRIBLE at launch

Cannot find proof of mages not having access to at least one pet at all levels.

This post july 1999 clearly states that most cities have for sale at least 1 per of each circle/level.

Further researching has shown me that pets still retained their innate abilities at launch such as invis/DS/fast regen on water. They just didn't cast their 6 second nukes which they get 2 months after launch. The 6 second nukes are still broken on p99 by the way and cast less frequently, don't expect to see the devs code a change for 2 months when we have been waiting for them to fix classic pet nukes and aggro for 5 years.

Unfortunately, that post is after the may 24th patch:
- New Magician spells on vendors and some Magician spells have moved to different vendors

You should be looking at information pre-may 24th.

If you look someone already posted proof that there were no pets past level 24.

Your post confirms pets at level 20, which is what he also said.

Actually the post says quite clearly that there is a pet for every circle available for purchase.
