Kleenex Pets no more!

[Belmarin]

I've only been able to play for short stretches since the update, usually no more than an hour or so. Because of that I've planted myself in a comfortable camp and just accepted the short xp from a string of DC's. I did notice immediately how much FASTER it seemed to go. Without having to Leave my pet and save TP for a finishing move, I could use a WS at any time. Instead of taking damage at the end of the fight I only had to med for MP at maybe one third the former rate. Instead of just hauling some fruit/milk/honey along to make au lait's as needed I'm adding enough fruit to make juice for MP as well, at least until I have time to devote to getting my Gaudy. I'm getting xp at roughly twice my former rate using charmed pets. I haven't had the opportunity to really use jugs, but I have seen an increase in critical hit rates from my charmed pets. If that's part of the update, then it's a nice addition making hate control even easier.

I knew it was a bad idea to check these forums again. Now I want to come back again haha.
