First off, thanks for the help everyone! 
I just read what you wrote here. I will definately get a Meso Pouch + Item Magnet + possibly a pet equip, but I'm somewhat reserved about getting auto MP and HP. I have manually potted myself throughout the time I played MS, and I don't see the need for an item to heal me, lol.
SaptaZapta Wrote:My prioritized list:
1) Item Pouch.
When the ground is covered with drops and obscured by skill effects from both players and mobs, it can be easy to miss valuable drops. I've discovered Pieces of Time, scrolls, and equips in my inventory, that my pet looted without my ever seeing them drop.
2) Meso Magnet.
3) Auto-HP / Auto-MP.
Move this up to first place if you're a low-HP class that has to pot every other hit. Move it down if you're a tankadin... unless you boss. Auto-HP is extremely useful at bosses that 1/1, and pretty much essential if you want to be able to chat or afk for a bit.
4) Wing Boots.
I have found that without this item, pet loot gets downright frustrating, as you have to figuratively lead your pet by its leash to every item you want it to pick up. And even then, it will never pick up items at the ends of platforms. Get the Wing Boots and it will walk to the pile of loot by itself. A short distance, but much much better than nothing.
5) Magic Scales.
Only needed if you party train a lot. The way things look right now, everyone 110+ is at LHC (and therefore, in a party)...
6) Item Ignore.
A luxury for those who can afford it. Takes away the one drawback of item pouch, namely it filling up your inventory with junk. It's not that hard to keep discarding event drops, arrows, nub potions, and other crap, but it's nicer if you can avoid picking it up to begin with.
7) Binoculars.
I've found these utterly useless. Even they won't make your pet climb up on ledges to pick up drops (like in Ludi or Singapore maps, which are littered with these little boxes and benches that items keep wanting to drop up onto). If you are melee, you're close enough to your kills for Wing Boots to be enough. If you're ranged, you're too far away from them for even Binoculars to make the pet go get the loot.
In addition, if you're a class with limited mobility, such as warrior or bowman, getting a 7-slot outfit for the pet and scrolling it for speed and/or jump might be worth your while.
