According to old data provided by Xalmat (http://www.xalmat.com/eqsummoners.com-old/eq1/pets-air-library.html), Magician pets should dual wield with the aid of weapons beginning at spell level 24. Here is the filtered combat log of my pet with a piercing weapon in his MH and a blunt weapon in his OH.

As you can see from the log, there are no "Voneker crushes..." messages as expected of a pet attacking with a mace.

[Fri Jul 09 02:49:12 2010] Voneker pierces a froglok tal shaman pet for 18 points of damage.

You sure thats old enough data for our era? I didnt think pets started to DW with weaps till 29.

I can dig harder, but I'm almost positive that it's correct. Back shortly.

//EDIT: Thus far I am unable to find any data from 1999-2000 that contradicts level 24. I can only conclude based on the lack of evidence to the contrary that 24 is indeed right.

Pets don't dual wield until 29

Historical data indicates, that the level 24 pets should be dual weilding. I am still looking into the issue, and will have a fix soon.
