Companion Collar

Overview


Companion Collars are equipable items that bestow weapon enchantments on a pets attacks. The are usable by Homunculus (Iron Defender pet available to Artificers) and Wolf Companion (available to Druids). Companion Collars are equipped to an Iron Defender's or Wolf's Weapon Module slot on its character sheet.

Random loot collars can be selected as quest rewards and drop from. There are no Named collars.

You can also convert random loot and Named Handwraps at a Device Workstation using mechanical trap parts or greater elemental essences.

Enhancements on Companion Collars are confirmed to be working. Paralyzing, Anarchic, Axiomatic, Screaming etc.

Converting Handwraps
Any set of handwraps, whether random loot, Named or Crafted can be converted into a Collar at a Device Workstation. The Trapmaking Feat is not required to convert handwraps into a collar.

There are different recipes, some requiring an amount of trap parts that increases based on the total enhancement bonus of the handwraps.
 * +1 to +3:    10 Mechanical Trap Parts
 * +4 to +6:    25 Mechanical Trap Parts
 * +7 to +9:    50 Mechanical Trap Parts
 * +10 to +12:  75 Mechanical Trap Parts
 * +13 or more: 100 Mechanical Trap Parts

There is an alternative recipe, that works on any set of handwraps, that uses 3 each of the Greater Elemental Essences (Air, Earth, Fire & Water) which is useful if you cannot get hold of the required trap parts.

Note: The resulting collar is bound to character on acquire.

Crafting Collars


Cannith Crafting does not by itself allow for the crafting of Collars - Collars are uncraftable. However, a set of Cannith crafted handwraps can be converted into an identical Collar at a Device Workstation.

Augment Slots
For Collars with Augment slots see Pets and equipment with slots to determine what Augment Crystals work for pets.

Important Notes:

 * While Collars can be Disjuncted in a Cannith Workstation, you cannot add shards to disjuncted Collars. Blank (disjuncted) collars are useless.
 * Once a set of Handwraps have been converted to a Collar, you cannot add anything to it in a Cannnith Workstation.
 * A pet will not be able to use collars that have a guild slot/guild level requirement (carried over from the base handwraps).
 * A pet will not be able to use collars that have an alignment restriction unless the corresponding pet enhancements for that alignment have been taken.
 * The effectiveness of converting impact handwraps (double bludgeoning critical range) to a collar (not a bludgeoning weapon) has not currently been tested.
