Just start with a list of what is on the pet. Heck, just a /pet inventory command that spits out text to the chat window would be a step in the right direction. Clickable links to show equipment stats would be even better.
I'd be content just having a way to open the box to hand stuff to a pet without first trying to give it to everyone and everything other than my pet.
I've been hoping for a long time now that eventually the devs would add something so we could know more about what's going on with our pets
Not me. I am betting they go the opposite direction by deleting the inventory window altogether and making players equip themselves in the same way we (try) to equip a pet. Why should we have any idea if a player/pet has an item equipped or if stats are being applied? It would make too much sense.
Pets will accept the following player made pet gear. Bracer Ring Braelets Ear ring The other items it says it eats. Wish I understood if that was good or bad????
