News
4/10/05
Okay, so it's now three weeks, I said "Should"... Anyway, I've done the Haikus for all the familiars upto #39 and added vague notes about #40 (as the name suggests it changes form so I'm not sure if it actually has any details). The familiar equipment and familiar item (like eggs and stuff) are harder to find than the haikus as they aren't immediately accessible. I really will try to have it done by the end of this week, as I seem to have loads of hour long gaps in my timetable when I have net access. :-)


17/09/05
Had to update the site again, don't try using too many links as most won't work yet... It should be sorted out within a week...
Maybe... ;-)


03/09/05
Another update, now clicking on the Familiar Equipment name will open a new window with the description of that item. I'll probably italicise (hmm, is that spelt right?) the names of the items that aren't the standard +5 lb later today, or tomorrow, but don't expect me to change this news or anything. :-)


27/08/05 (or 08/27/05 if you're from a mm/dd/yy country, whatever)
I've updated the site (yey!), The familiars' Haiku is now included, they have pictures and clicking on the familiar name opens a new window giving the ingame description of the familiar item (I thought of having the item name in the table link to it, but that would make the table too big).
Also, in extending the familiars list to encompass the Familiars-of-the-month and Post-Ascension Familiars I've got a lot more gaps (well, less "gaps" overall, but the remainder are more apparent), so information on their items etc. would be welcomed.
Lastly, the two blank familairs are there so i don't have to do so much to add new familairs to this list (yeah, I'm lazy).
Also lastly, for people who bother to look, yes there are only 39 entries, it's Jick being Triskaidekaphobic



Notes
As is apparent I don't have the combat stats or equipment for most the Familiars in the Mr. Accessory store (It seems possible that they don't have any weaknesses though...), if anyone wants to send me any of the familiars (it might work) or their details, please feel free to send them to #16860
The table is pretty big now, and I run my computer on quite a high resolution (1280*960), so I apologise if the table is really crunched up. If you're using I.E. try going View -> Text Size -> Smallest. Other browsers probably have a way to do it too...
