Some info on the stat calcs for summons

gains 5% stat increase from gear per skill level....so at level 10, a mystic pet would get 50% bonus from the mystic's gear...so, level your pet and strive for the best gear possible at your level.

Dunno if this is specifically mentioned anywhere else, but eventually I intend to invest in some really awesome might rings for my mystic.

As, if you didn't know, the stats of the summon are dependant on the gear worn WHEN SUMMONED. They don't adjust themselves magically if you swap gear afterwards, at least not when you check them.

This means that if you think the devil chihyu needs more attack and pdef, you can totally accomodate this in a semi tedious fashion lol

Well it will help with the pdef slightly. It was a neat idea tho QQ

this could be tested with a couple of magic weapons, one being a lower level pataka (since they have a wide power range) the other being a higher level glaive (with the slight power range) just make sure their max attack is relatively close in strength and summon pets with each...if the pet's attack is the same or pretty close, it would be the max magic attack, if the pet's attack is lower with the pataka, it could be an average or low end of the weapons power range, depending on how much the numbers varied.

Or better yet, figure out the dependence on both the minimum and maximum magic attack together. =D


Assume a simple model. I chose the summon's physical attack is related to the summoner's gear by a linear combination of the minimum magic attack from gear and maximum magic attack from gear. So:

V_gear = a m_gear + b M_gear

Where:
V_gear is the summon's physical attack from summoner's gear
m_gear is the summoner's minimum magic attack from gear
M_gear is the summoner's maximum magic attack from gear

The summon's physical attack from the summoner's gear is the difference in the summon's physical attack while wearing the weapon minus not wearing any weapon. Get two weapons so that now you have a pair of values for all three: m_gear, M_gear, and V_gear. I used the ☆Spiritcooler Wand and ☆Raja Spirit's Pestle. This gives two equations for two unknowns -- a and b. Then just solve.

This process can be repeated for the summon's magic attack as well as for each summon and summon's skill level.

Data in greater detail for my mystic can be found in the Attack tab here:

In Summary:

Summon          Skill Level  Physical (a,b)  Magical (a,b)
----------------------------------------------------------
Devil Chihyu              9        0 , 0.45       0 , 0.45
Storm Mistress            6        0 , 0.30       0 , 0.30
Salvation                 4        0 , 0.20       0 , 0.20

So, each skill level contributes 5% of the summoner's gear's maximum magic attack. Or:

V_gear = 5 s M / 100

Where:
s is the summon's skill level
M is the summoner's gear's maximum magic attack

I continued and did more testing. I compared stats at all the skills levels I could (for the first three summons). My mystic is only level 49. I also compared stats wearing the same gear but before and after leveling. All the data can be found in the spreadsheet below. I was not able to test the effect of stat points, however. =(

Skipping ahead to the results. How the various summons are affected by the caster's stats. Enjoy. ^^

holding 2 sets of gear could be asking a bit much for most people...and ideally you'd want to wear the best stuff all the time...but if you could boost your Pet's attack power by a few hundred points by carrying around a pataka, would you do it?
