I cleaned everything after the guidance about using two pets, but it varied a lot. During the lags, I had exclude items only for the Ulu items, they fit in the first pet. In the second, third without anything. But I remember having left it with 30 exclude items and not having these lags. Things I remember, I was always careful to never repeat items between pets (I've never even tried to see if it accepts), I only excluded mesos for testing I don't know if it has to do with the loot itself, because I couldn't even enter the ulu1 map if another player was mage farming I also use the three pets equipped for self-haste/HP stuff. This is the last configuration (The remaining spaces on the first and second pets are for Ulu and Harps etc): Pet 1 Pet 2.1 Pet 2.2 Pet 3
Used to have lags on one of my chars and what helped in my case was: - switching to 1 pet - small clients + lowest picture quality in game - this pet setup (could also use mp pouch but not scales)
I tried removing scale from my pet and it did nothing. 1 pet might solve things (didn't try) but it is not good enough for farmers usually since 1 pet just isn't enough to pick up the items.
My farming sessions have been pretty stable without frame drops after anni event. The setups are the same. I'm not sure what's the reason, but the main differences are: 1) I spend less time chasing coins, so fewer drops are stacking up in the map. 2) No more event items stacking up in the map. 3) Pets no longer need to ignore maple umbrella My setups and specs: 4 mages + 1 leecher + 1 nl looter with 3 brown kitties (all with full pet equips) pet 1 ignore list: Dark Chocolate, Mana Elixer, Pet jump 60%, Shield Def 60%, Shiney Bullet, White Potion, Valentine Roses (red+white+yellow) pet 2 ignore list: Berserkie card, Veetron Card, Blue Valentine Rose, White Chocolate, Maple Umbrella Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14650HX (2.20 GHz) RAM: 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU Storage: 1T All clients launched on the same laptop Hope this info helps with troubleshooting.
