I don't know but I've been told,

you can get weapons back from your pet if your begging skill is hight enough.

Well I don't know what you have been told but that is flat out wrong.
Begging = worthless skill that newbs do to earn quick cash and die half the time from some npc who quads for 300.
The most you will get from begging is a couple plat, and most of the time a death or just a few copper (When starting out I found out the bad way that people in qeynos do NOT like beggars). Either way you can't do this to your pet, whether to get money or not, and you DEFINITELY can't beg your items back.

Maybe with luck VI will let you loot your items back from your pet in the next expansion (knowing verant that expansion is probably just going to be a big patch with 30 dollars attached to it) but until then what goes with your pet stays with your pet.

Do you know this for certain?
Have you tried?
What is your current "Begging" level?

I appreciate your statement, just would like confirmation!

By Verant do you mean Sony ?

[Captain_Crunch]

VI (verant interactive) was the original creator of everquest and was a branch of sony. Now the official name it goes under is SoE (sony online entertainment) but for "sentimental" reasons (in otherwords if you look at "the vision" in gu comics you can see how verant and sonies visions were) I still call it verant. And no I do not have begging skill but I have NEVER heard in my entire time playing this game (pre-kunark to before PoP, then starting up again post-PoP) of begging getting any more then money, and not much at that. Trust me you will NEVER get ANY items, including the weapons, from anything including your pet.

Also by VI I don't mean 4, I mean verant interactive if you look up lol (don't you go thinking thats some wierd AA ability).

[Tisumi_Evil^2]

i new about this and was going to make a poll about this you read my mind good job

[stukka]

Ummmm....VI would be 6

Maybe you could get a rogue to pickpocket your pet goodies off ol Boner :lol:

[Captain_Crunch]

ermm.. yes it is wrote the reply at 2 in the morning so im gonna say its a typo, but probably at the time I DID think it meant 6. Anyway more people reply to this thread its my first stickied guide and I want praise! lol JK but seriously someone reply to my guides every once in a while I like to know my guides are appreciated.

Another I would suggest would be the drakkel forged weapons that drop off of frost giants in GD. They all have a 30 point dd proc them that goes off fairly reguraly. Generally, they sell pretty cheap in the bazaar as well (around 10-30pp)if I remember correctly. I was rarely without them from my late 30's to late 40's. Great zone for a necro to farm at those lvl's. The xp will be good and those weapons rock. Do not try the frost giant elites though -they are evil

[Skova]

If you know a good smith and can get the ingredients i always liked to use black acrylia weapons solely because of the added lifetap proc. The pet now has 2 lifetap procs to use, which helps alot with healing him.

I would like to add that i have noticed that weapons for certain classes can be used by any pet. Example being, monk pet using one handed slash or war pet using ulaks.

[Everknight]

Wow very cool guide! That helped a lot for a new necro like me. As I do not have very much money I have just been giving my pet weapons and armor that I have looted from Crushbone, and Paniell newbie zone. I guess I am just cheap, I can't afford to buy my pet weapons and armor.

Did blow my mind when I saw a lvl 10 necro in Kurns last night equip his pet with a Taw Eaw Shield, and some crazy sword.

But then again he was getting PL by a 41 pally, and died twice while I soloed and jumped him two lvls haha

I tried pet weapons last night and didn't notice procing messages for the wind, ice, and fire weapons. Is it not supposed to say "Goner hit a pwnt geomancer for 150 points of non-melee damage.", and often?

[Captain_Crunch]

I have NEVER seen a proc message from my pet, except for wind (it says %t is blasted by flying debris or something). Just so you knwo though the fire weapons don't proc till level 20 and the other two don't proc till 49. Anyway though the only way I tell if they have proced is the look of the proc (it looks like a giant fireball for fire, an ice ring for ice, and a bunch of red stars. Other then that though there really is no way to tell if your pet has proced or now.

[staggs]

I just started playing a necro, but if you give your pet weapons...don't they dissappear after they die? (meaning next time you make your pet...you'll have to give them a new weapon?)

[Nigyl]

Yes, you can't get weapons back from your pet. However, there are a lot of high damage/high delay weapons you can buy in the Bazaar for 10-20pp which no player would use today unless they're really desperate.

Give your level 1 pet a 25 DMG weapon and its max hit should increase to 50 unless there's some damage limit on the pet... that's a huge benefit at low levels for 10pp.

VI was actually the 2nd owner of EQ, the original creator was a small company called 989 studio's back when EQ was created. They even used the name as the cost per month on your account being $9.89 per month to play before the price increases. Those were the days when EQ was this mysterious huge world that took you 3 hours to tranverse across.
