Pet stuck and demon slayer

[Coppelia]

Hello,
I've been playing alot less these times, so I may have missed something, but as I still see the problem ingame after all these years, I wonder if it's totally burried in the /NOT TO CARE list or if anything has been said about it.

There's still the bug of the pet which stops moving when you order it to attack.
It still attacks if it has ranged attacks and/or magery, and it moves again when the mob is dead.

And when they removed the daemon slayer property, they were supposed to replace it by the demon slayer property, because it was nearly the same. But after all these years I still observe that the daemon slayer was purely removed from the property tables and not changed. I only have a couple demon slayer instruments left and they're not dropping as simple slayers. Gargoyle slayers do. Not demon.
I don't care if you want to have that slayer split into daemons, onis, balrons, etc, it's ok but I need a simple slayer drop rate for the demons. Super slayer drop rate isn't enough.


That's all for today!

I use this for demon slaying Minor Artifacts: Iolo's Lute - Item Catalogue - UO Stratics.
The bug, while it can be slightly annoying, is very easily overcome. Simply feed the pet. Sometimes I leave a part trained pet casting from afar in hopes of magery gains.

I get this bug with my summoned Rising Colossus. Unfortunately you can't feed them, and you can only dismiss the summoned or kill whatever it is attacking. Unless someone else has found an easier way to get around this.

The fixes we have as players are to teleport (if in an area where you can), go through a gate (if your follower can), feed (if the follower eats), recall (if it's a bonded pet).

Any more known cures?

I use to peace the pet and invis it and me. But teleporting or feeding sound more practical, I'll try that.

Thanks Beastmaster. I didn't know about the teleport thing either.

I've gotten demon slayer instruments several times since Daemon & Demon were merged. It's just bad luck that you've not found any, because they are superslayers, and are therefore rare. I, too, use Iolo's lute, because it's more common and has 3 times the charges or more of a looted instrument (my demon slayer stays in the bank box)

The problem is that they are superslayer only. I know I'm not supposed to find a superslayer under a horse's hoof. But there were simple slayers, "daemon slayers", and they were totally removed instead of changed/replaced. That's wrong IMO.
