Pets could equip gear just like players. Although they only had five equipment slots, that could still greatly increase their strength, thereby boosting the summoner's power as well. This was especially true for Hidden Profession and Dual Profession summoners, since they could summon multiple pets into battle. If every pet had equipment, the boost to a summoner's strength would be substantial. At this point, San Mei Shi was somewhat worried that this would affect Game Balance.
However, Yan Hua Yi Leng did not agree. After all, summoners were not particularly numerous among all professions, with only slightly more of them than fist fighters. Hidden Profession summoners and even Dual Profession summoners were even rarer, so this would not affect Game Balance.
After pondering briefly, San Mei Shi nodded. "That's true. Besides, Misty Pavilion has three or four Dual Profession summoners. Even if it does affect the balance a little, it would be more beneficial to us, so there's nothing to worry about."
"Besides, only God Grade Equipment can significantly improve a pet's strength. Equipment of other grades is much less effective, especially since Ye Luo's Howling Moon of the Azure Wolf is a set. It can only achieve such results because of the set bonuses," San Mei Shi added. Seeing everyone nod, she continued, "Furthermore, it would be extremely difficult—practically impossible—for a Dual Profession summoner to equip all their Summoned Beasts.

Dual Profession summoners have a major advantage over ordinary professions and even more typical Dual Professions, but they are not much of a threat to people like us. The same goes even if all their Summoned Beasts are equipped," Breaking Waves Riding Wind said confidently. "I'm not bragging,
