As much as I recall we’ve been told that cosmetic pets are never going to make any difference, it’s just that Ninja Cat apparently is going to be the roadblock for Darkstone > 14 for a very long time. If they’ll just shrug that one off, weapons can be sure to receive the same treatment once the need arises.
