Charmed Pets weight

[halason]

Do Charmed pets have a weight limit and can you over burden a charmed pet with enough weight? Also what are the best -MR items you can give to a pet that don't cost 300pp?

Rusty Spiked Shoulderpads are -10MR from Blackburrow named
Adamantite Bands are -10MR 75HP from reanimated hand in LGuk

Both aren't worth your time unless you're doing a solo artists challenge or they fix the server so that charmed pets drop the items you gave them upon death. (Given they don't die charmed and poof)

Charmers used to carry around a set of these and some solid weapons to hand them and recover when they kill their charmed pet if they are leaving the camp or getting a new pet. However here, mobs you charm won't drop the items you gave them. There was some exploit with Lynunga and duping plat iirc? But quest NPCs should just destroy quest items they're given anyways.

My wife is a cleric so we just keep the pet for hours using CH. Those items are exactly what I am looking for!! thank you

Wait, mobs equip items other than weapons that you give them? For sure?
I never knew about this if true.

Yes. I tested this giving a level 1 rat in EC a couple of 5/55 rings. The max HP on the mob won't update until you break charm, but they definitely do work. I don't whether or to what extent AC affects mitigation or dex affects proc rate or -MR affects resists though. Most of the solo artist challenge people swear by this, but I've never seen anyone with any data at all on the subject.

Maybe I'll motivate myself to go spam 100 roots on the undead foreman, then give him 10k in MR gear and spam another 100 roots to see what happens. Maybe [You must be logged in to view images.

Imo those items aren't worth the effort for XP grinding. I've been buying them for years on my chanter and I think I only ever used them a couple of times. Even if we assume they do make a difference at all, it won't be a very big one on a long-term, grinding pet... probably similar to charming something 1-2 levels lower... a pet that hits for 128 instead of 120 (but then you'd have to use allure to charm instead of cajoling whispers!). Just my unscientific opinion though! Ench+cle duo doesn't need extra help to be a mob meatgrinder anyways [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Edit - seriously doubt there is any kind of weight limit snare effect on charms, as hilarious as that would be.

Well its my goal to gather as much information as possible for us chanters on the benefits of purchasing - magic res items. If you plan on six hours of grinding with a cleric or healer class with a fully equipped pet (mage mask included). I've read online that NPC's can only have 1 ring item is this correct?
