The Empires of Kunark expansion introduced the 'Activated Items' Key Ring. You can access this feature via your inventory window and clicking Key Rings button. You can buy more slots for this key ring up to a maximum of 450 items. Fair warning... as of this typing... and even though this extra inventory space is great to have... it appears that the more things you have on your key rings (collectively), the longer it can potentially take you to zone!
Have you ever wondered just how many Familiars there might be? Or, perhaps, how to get them to start with?
Well, this page is about just that!
Illusion items are sometimes associated with Achievements, which, in turn, can grant awards like special Titles, Suffixes and other things.
Marketplace items may not be available year-round.
If you look on you alternative currency tab, you should see a currency called "Adoption Coin." These coins are obtained from, and spent with, "Lynea the pet collector." Lynea is located in the cave / tunnel in the Commonlands. If you get duplicate Adoptable pets from the Marketplace, you can sell them to her for (1) Adoption Coin each (the tradable adoptable version, that is). She will also sell you a "Random Pet in a Box" for (10) Adoption Coins, which can randomly award you another Adoptable familiar (you do not get to pick). While Lynea is an additional way you might obtain the familiar you need, you are basically trading in 10 Familiars for a chance at (1) Familiar (you may NOT get one that you wanted)! It may be better to simply barter your extra's with other players, in an effort to acquire the one(s) you need.
Data in red, below is either informational or unverified information. Only the familiars that show an image are in-game verified.
NOTE: The "benefits" listed below are the maximum known benefits. These benefits may be less at lower levels, have reduced effects at higher levels, or even fully blocked / overwritten by other buffs you may all ready have on you.
NOTE: DID I MISS ANY? If you note any errors, misspellings, item name errors, misinformation or anything that needs addressing on this page -- PLEASE let me know via an in-game EQ Message (Bonzz on the Bertoxxulous server), or post on Bonzz's Discord Server!
