One thing I’ve just discovered now. I was in my Garrison, fighting two ogrish-looking humanoid pets (and I really need to find more undead pets). I swapped in my first level new Iron Starlette.
The Starlette died due to backline damage, and was one bubble short of reaching second level. However, Erris the Collector was there with a new pet challenge. I put in my Starlette first, had her Wind-up once, then swapped her out. She died, but Mechanical pet resurrection revived her. (I named her O’Hara. Starlette O’Hara.)
My S/S Rose Taipan soloed her entire team (3 mice). And my Starlette got 5569 XP (that’s with my Safari Helmet).
She’s now 12th level. So pleased. My first Starlette was an H/P. O’Hara’s a P/P, which would be my first two choices. Rematch says there’s like five breeds for this pet.
