@Homicide and other Pet farmer/hunters. all that hard work, with results all over the place. I am so lazy, I am happy at the moment with the pet I built with only epic affixes. some day, I will fight my laziness, and farm for a slime with the Element set affix, as I think that would be so cool for one of the builds that I envision. of course, I think I would party like it was 1999 if I found an Eternal Slime with the Element set with all the affixes with perfect values that I want in my build.
it is kind of like any part of DQ. lucky RNG early, long dry spell, repeat. or lucky RNG all the time, or waiting for RNG to notice you are playing DQ. most parts of the game gives lots of rewards for our efforts, but some parts of the game, the rewards are rare or very rare. and the more desirable something is, like a certain pet, the harder it seems to be able to attain it.
I didnât want to use a lot of crystals to max my pets affixes, so I am waiting patiently for the Enslaver Feat to do it for me. but it only raises the stats like .1-.3 for every completion of the feat.
so I guess that I am saying that with patience come the rewards of a whole lot of Eternal Pets.
I wish I could play 6+ hours like my glory days but I just donât have the time or energy anymore and I have other things to enjoy in life.
Still, even in one hour I have really good fun and DQ gains and even 4 hours too or so. Only way to get good at farming is play the game every SINGLE day at however many hours. 1-2 hours minimum! Maximum is how much you can do before you get bored.
Note : halfway through hour 2, eternalized has been buffed from 300 to 550 for the remainder of all runs. Will fix after accumulating more data.
Note : floor 2 ALWAYS REQUIRES the use of a monster spawn potion boost for any relevance. All hours are under the effects of this boost.

I will be writing a new thread about my experiences and insights into eternal pets. Iâm not sure if @SteigerBox actually read my previous analysis, but I believe more then ever that it all still stands relevant.
@Homicide it looks like, from your pet farming experiment, that Eternal Pets are VERY rare. it might be easier to craft a build around any Eternal Pet you find, rather than looking for the âPerfect Eternal Petâ for the build you have. but then, many Toons are stubborn, and will farm until the end of time to get that âPerfect Eternal Pet!â.
Looks like youâre filled with legend pets ready to test and use. Now that legend pets are editable with crystals , you wonât have to hoard the stashes of tons of legend pets and some sell/salvage. Although even without the crystal craft pets , thereâs a way to manage inventory.
Probably you might have filled half the pet legendex.
I tend to hoard too much stuff but thankfully thanks to dust and other additions , I donât do it as much or need to. Hoarding disorder of DQ I have.
True. Now to spam floor 500 to hopefully get Merlin. Even better if youâre lucky enough to get eternal Merlin.
Just like the seven deadly sins Anime, Merlin was rare and hardly came but she was great and powerful. Yes it was a she. In DQ case, an imp. Probably female⌠Who knows? The anime was some fun.

Homicide,i see you are a experienced hunter of pets, I would like to ask your advice.
I want to find legend pets, maybe legendary, I made a build for that I want to show you, tell me what you think, I have to change and how to improve it, thank you
the one thing you may consider is raising ultra rare legend find. Im not 100% positive, but im fairly sure it aids in legend pet drop rate. And if your focus is the legend pets, and not so much eternal, its worth considering.
Bear in mind that the previous tests i was running were all under the effect of monster spawn boosts and floor2, to ensure a whole lot of enslavers.
In the ten hour test i did, ALL legend pets were obtained, except Merlin. Hes locked behind f500m3+.
However, It is my opinion that f2 runs arent really worth it, if you desire eternal pets, even under the effects of monster spawn, because of eternal enslaver feat, the meager eternal drop rate, and various other issues regarding eternal pets. Well, unless you dont care about eternal pets much, then f2 is an amazing way to get legend pets.
As for those pesky eternal pets, thats a whole different ball game. I will be writing a thread in regards soon.
