as I'm very curious and would love if someone more competent than me could test stuff, is if Familiar and Run Wild used just before entering work when inside.

I always thought it was odd that you can't see the descriptions for each pet's special commands in-game like under Pet Commands. /bstpet # just lists the move and charges requires. On SMN you can see all their moves and descriptions in the respective ability menus.

Macroed or not macroed makes no difference, /equip ammo "pet food epsilon" doesn't work.
It works only if you use the entire description so "pet food epsilon biscuit".
Meanwhile, for theta to work, /equip ammo "Pet food theta" is enough.
...why?

My guess is you're not using the correct nomenclature for the specific food type, they're all different. My macro is /equip ammo "Pet Fd. Epsilon" (literally the dictionary word with the green and red brackets) and it works fine. So they probably truncated the word "food" to "Fd." for this particular item to limit the amount of characters, but for Theta it's probably "Pet Food Theta" because it's a shorter name.

You can tell exactly what wording should be used for a macro by using the in-game dictionary like I mentioned (space bar > tab > up arrow > Items > here is the list of dictionary items in your inventory. Any macros must use this naming convention or they won't work (unless you're using gs or shortcuts or whatever)

Random update:
Using flippant's Parse lua (great addon that was quite useful for breaking down some detailed pet data) was able to evaluate some Pet Double Attack rates.



VivaciousVickie had 0% Double Attack (MNK)

Just an update from a returnee BST (made a post a bit back)!

Managed to roll into an active, helpful LS that is ironically named MostlyBSTS. Got into an odyssey static as well so my bst gearing it going pretty good! Unlocked gleti as well as Aqwu's axe (just beat Ongo tonight) alongside JSE axe. We also have sortie scheduled, though the BST earring continues to elude me. Just need to sort out what pets to use and finish out my gear.

I also made a Naegling as well, but is it a weapon I would use on BST? Or do I want to stick with axe/axe? I have the Aqwu or Arktoi I can use as an offhand to the naegling.

Thanks to everyone for the help earlier!

Testing the new Besieged axe:

dathaba axe: Pet:DA+50%
beastmaster collar +2: Pet:DA+25%
nukumi earring +1: Pet:DA+7%
valorous mail: Pet:DA+5%
emicho gauntlets +1: Pet:DA+4%
Cath Palug ring: Pet:DA+5%
incarnation sash: Pet:DA+4%
Total: Pet:DA+100%

The battles are admittedly short, but so far we have a 100% Double Attack rate with VivaciousVickie.

And from another Besieged battle:

Sadly the name is mostly just that, a name. Thought quite a few people do have BST leveled.

I used to be in FunWithJugs though! I must have either transferred or got server moved due to a merge cause I no longer have the pearl. It was the ls that got me into leveling BST in the first place.

I'm open to any suggestions. Axe/Shield? Sword/Axe?

With all of the Level Sync talk, was looking at some pet stats and abilities while synched to a Level 25 mule and noticed a couple things.

The low level version and high level version of a monster type tend to have the exact same stats when you remove the Attack/Defense modifiers.

So for example at level 25:

Jug Pet	HareFamiliar	PonderingPeter
Accuracy	92	122
Attack	100	100
Evasion	85	85
Defense	124	136

They slapped Accuracy+30 on PonderingPeter in addition to its Defense+10% mod. And there are some other examples with the crabs (HeraldHenry and JovialEdwin compared to CrabFamiliar) where they just added some base Accuracy too.

And then there's the Mosquito... where they added ~250 Evasion to the base pet.


Even though it's level 25, it still has the 40% Double Attack rate too.

There are literally NO jugs worth buying up on the Asura AH right now. This depresses me, especially since I don't have cooking 100 to make any of the damn things.
