Ok so i read (skimmed) through most of the posts here. I agree that it is not easy to get and this is speaking from the progression server view with the enchanter being my only char. That being said it was not difficult just time consuming, worthwhile but time consuming.
I am a DE enchanter who worships Innoruuk. Forgot to change to agnostic when i created him but figured it would be more of a challenge this way so i kept him. I ran to HHP and cast illusion human on myself then cast invis. ran past all the orcs and guards in HHP with no problem. In HHK i repeated casting illusion human and invis. Conning guards while just illusioned gave me dubious reaction i believe but after running through kith i wasnt about to take any chances so i invised up and ran to the two pillar room and headed through the first door on the north side. through the door in that room and the vendor was right around the corner (erudite male). I bought the spell and the level 9 upgrade just so i wouldnt have to make the run again in two levels. this took almost all the cash i had but the run was long enough for me not to worry about that. that concludes the getting there portion now on to the pet itself.
The pet is a nice upgrade. He is level 9. Unbuffed he pierces for 16. I *believe* he doubles on occasion. He kicks for a max of 8 so far. The bashes I have seen have all been for 1 point. The one dissapointment is he is not able to hit magic only creatures like wisps. I found this out the hard way by attacking a yellow con wisp. As i have only a cracked staff and few offensive spells i had to run for the border. At 7 is when i would normally start hunting wisps as they are yellow conning but hopefully the level 9 pet will be able to help me out with that.
when the pet is buffed with my str and ac buffs his hits were the same. He seemed to hit for max damage more often but that is just anecdotal as i do not parse. Below a person noted he hits for 16 when buffed but he will hit for 16 regardless. I was able to confirm that he does double attack.
I hope that helps and lets people know if they want to go through the percieved difficulty of getting this pet.
