    That pretty much distills it down.

    Water pets are disposable, air pets can be disposable - purely because you don't often have to be there. If you want to be, levellingup a turtle or sawfly works better than just picking up the next one.

    Land pets - you may want to consider a cactopod or eldergolth for its ranged ability, but otherwise the new tideborn glacial walker pretty much outclasses everything as a main tank pet.

    Scorpions or the new dark whatsits make better DD pets though.

    Land Recommendations:
    • Glacial Walker
    • Eldergoth Marksman or Sharpshooter
    • Dark Wanderer
    • Ebony Hellduke or L2 Scorpion
    • Celestial Sting or Ethereal Inamorato

    Water
    • Celestial Plumpfish

    Air
    • Petite Sawfly or Cloud Skatefish

    *These are only recommended because of "Without going to the high and mighty hercs and nixes", while a disposable pet path is highly suggested over some of these. Wolves for instances often come with Howl and there are ~5 families of wolfkin so you're not always getting a higher level starter. A lunar lupin comes with Lv.5 Howl long before you could add it yourself. There isn't much fighting in the air, so a Goldwing Emperor and other bee type pets would save you time and coin in the long run over leveling a sawfly or skatefish.

    Notes on other suggestions listed above:
    The Crystalline Magmite is totally obsolete since the introduction of the Glacial Walker, and Dark Wanderer. "poor venos phoenix" is a misrepresentation since there are comparable alternate fly pets while a Phoenix totally blows away all fly pets. A turtle isn't worth your time / coin leveling and investing in unless you love water grinding and don't mind using a huge pet. I'd suggest saving up water quests ~5 levels before you get a Plumpfish. The lower level cactopods hold very little value compared to a Marksman or Sharpshooter. The higher level ones have greater range which makes them more useful in some situations.
