I'm level 79 currently. Came back a month or so ago and subscribed. I've been reading some posts here but haven't found all my answers. 1) muzzle of mowcha. Why can't I give this to my pet? 2) people talk about focus items, and a "properly focused pet." I know about the <50 pet focuses but I'm guessing that's not what they mean. 3) does my epic 1.0 help at all with summoning my 75+ pets? The last time I played a ton of EQ was right before EQ2 came out (so 2005ish). I'm mostly up to speed by this time, but I really want to play my mage correctly. Thanks!
look at pet focuses here: https://www.raidloot.com/spells?name=&effect=increase pet power&class=&level=&view=Table the levels say what band of pet spells each focus works on. So for 79-80 pet spells you need at least Ritual Summoning "1: Increase Pet Power (30)" or higher, because the (20)s cut off at 75. If you somehow managed to get & equip an Enhanced Minion XIII "1: Increase Pet Power (115)" item, it wouldn't work at your current level, because it only focuses level 81+ spells.
