Maximizing Your Familiar Weight

[ Return to Dressing For Success ]

With the right familiar, bonus weight can be converted into meat and item drops, stats, Monster Level, Combat Initiative, HP- and MP Regeneration and even Spell Damage. There are also situations where it's more effective to maximize Familiar Weight over other bonuses -- such as when fighting The Unkillable Skeleton (Hard Mode) or meat farming with a Stocking Mimic.

Note that some familiars have higher or lower maximum weights based on familiar restrictions, equipments, and abilities.

Notes

For most familiars, if your character is not a Turtle Tamer, the maximum familiar weight is:

• 20 lbs base
• 71 from character equipment (10 crumpled felt fedora, 5 Stephen's lab coat, 5 Buddy Bjorn, 10 rope, 10 ghostly reins, 10 Great Wolf's Beastly Trousers, 10 Belt of Loathing, 6 recovered cufflinks, 5 Folder Holder or bakelite badge)
• 20 from a Snow Suit
• 45 from skills/skill effects
• 29 from adventures
• 25 from food
• 60 from booze
• 28 from spleen
• 181 from usable items
• 8 from clan equipment
• 5 from the island arena
• 5 from The Platypus
• 25 from campground effects
• 22 from rollover activated effects
• for a total of 544 lbs

Underwater familiars can gain an additional 30 lbs from underwater-only increasers.

Turtle Tamers also have access to equipment that gives them a wider range of options and can increase the maximum value by another 3 pounds (via Turtle Soup).
