Could there be specific familiars for different classes? For example: Medic - Heal Potency, For Jedi - Parry or Saber Block (something like that), BM - Increase Creature Knowledge, BE - Increase Fervant mutation or Incubator time,.. I just thought it would be something to put on the World Boss Vendor or have them be a drop from the upcoming Hard Modes. The other thought is to make one familiar that can be programmed to the skill or 2 skills you want it to affect.

Thank you for the suggestion. The idea of class specific familiars is very interesting, and tying their bonuses to different professions could add a meaningful layer of progression. Rather than allowing players to custom program familiars, making them quest rewards tied to expanded content is a great approach. It would give players clear goals to work toward and keep the familiars balanced within the game’s ecosystem.

Development will take a look at this concept and evaluate what might be possible as we continue expanding content.

Overview:

Introduce a Buff Maintenance Device that automatically re-applies consumable buffs (food, drink, armor/weapon/clothing pupps, etc.) as they expire. Players load the device with stacks of consumables, assign them to specific buff slots in a simple UI, and activate it. The device then pulls from the assigned slots to refresh buffs automatically until deactivated or supplies run out.
Benefits:

• Quality of Life: Removes the need to constantly track and manually reapply buffs.
• Market Impact: Increases demand for consumables, boosting Trader sales.
• Accessibility: Keeps players especially new ones buffed without extra micromanagement.

Implementation Notes:

• Could be crafted by Traders or purchased from a vendor.
• Limited storage capacity for balance.
• Honors normal buff cooldowns and restrictions.

Summary:

This device streamlines gameplay, reduces buff downtime, and supports the in-game economy without changing balance or progression.
