That was answered a few months ago, they said it would be too powerful or something, idk. Or too complicated and they don't have the time to do it.

hey! i was one those people who crafted jugs made a killing on yulys till a server merge and then the ingreds price shot up by like 200% while the jug prices crashed and market was flooded. I'll never get why people will buy ingreds at such a inflated price to only kill their own profits...

I want to be able to skillchain with pets.
We have discussed this before in the new spell thread, but due to current settings, if pets are able to skillchain, monsters will be able to skillchain as well. This would be interesting, but the balance of battles would be changed drastically, so this would be difficult.
Does anyone else think that this would be the greatest thing ever? Would love to see some skillchaining on us, would be exciting!!

The Shikaree Gals did it back in CoP.
I don't see why it couldn't be part of any battle that involves more than one mob or even NMs that TP-spam moves against you.
As long as they beefed up SC capacity for BST, SMNs and PUPs alike.
PUPs can SC with their pets, and SMN BPs can MB off other ppls' SCs.

Still, SE's point is that some NMs and fights would be pretty drastically changed, and they'd have to evaluate every fight to determine whether or not it would become too hard. So I can see from their perspective /shrug

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but even Wyverns can MB their breath attacks... Sucks for BST

I'd understand this applying to charmed pets if you can drag a mob outside of their native region to battle mobs that would fall quickly to mobs of that type, but I can't see this being a problem with jug pets.

Would require beastmasters pets to be completely re-programmed or something, and despite all other pets being able to, would be too-powerful for BST.

In other works... They can't be bothered.

English Version Released:

08-18-2011 05:02 PM

Community Rep

We’d like to introduce some of the job adjustments planned for the upcoming version update.

Rouse* Lv93
Enhances summoned pet. However, the pet will disappear when the effect is removed or wears off.

New Call Beast pets will be added.

With that in mind, we are planning to introduce the two species below as pets!




Oh yeah...one more thing.
Now this is me talking about the future, but we have had a lot of request to use HNM monsters and have bird-type pets, so we are thinking it might be about to time to add these monsters to the arsenal of Call Beast:


This bad boy is envisioned as being implemented as the size of the ones residing in Abyssea.


Apkallu…

You probably are hoping for your own Colibri, eh?

Looks like Rouse would be cool, well if you got plenty of jugs, call beast timer is/will be up and the mob cannot dispel the effect.

Wish it was the opposite way, you can keep using Rouse on your pet and it continually gets stronger by stacking the effect every 5-10 minutes until it caps out. And have the effect last until the jug dies, you zone, time expires or leave command.

You gotta admit, you would hear alot of "Can you bring your BST and DON'T forget the Colibri!"

BST is the red headed stepchild in ffxi and will always be. Anything good or worthwhile ALWAYS gets shut down by SE, even though other jobs can do things better/faster/stronger now.

Heck, jug pet zoning overpowered!? My fellow makes a better pet nowadays, cures, SC's, and my fellow can zone with me.

The new ability might make some of the cheaper pets a bit more... used too.

Like FlowerpotMerle, Nazuna (still used a lot), Lizard one... Heres hoping the Smilodon is easy to make though... Love me some tigers.
