Familiar Weight

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

Familiar Weight is the measure of a familiar's experience level and is expressed in pounds. Generally, a familiar with a higher weight is more effective.

In most cases, the base amount of a familiar's weight is a function of its combat experience. Without experience modifiers, familiars gain one point of experience for each combat victory spent as your active familiar. The base weight (without Familiar Equipment or effects) of a familiar is equal to the square root of its experience (weight = experience^1/2) with the minimum weight possible being 1 lb and the maximum being 20 lbs. In other words, a familiar gains a pound at 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, and 400 experience.

4	16
5	25

14	196
15	225
16	256
17	289
18	324
19	361
20	400

There are a few familiars that make all of those rules generalizations. The Inflatable Dodecapede is most effective at lighter weights. The Stocking Mimic gains weight only from consuming candies, or from combats with a particular familiar item equipped, and has a maximum of 100 pounds. The Homemade Robot gains no weight from combats, only from parts added, and also has a maximum of 100 pounds. The Ghost of Crimbo Carols, Ghost of Crimbo Cheer and Ghost of Crimbo Commerce all share experience with each other while having a maximum of 40 pounds.

Familiar Experience Modifiers

Normally, after a successful combat, your familiar earns one experience point. This can be accelerated by the following enchantments:

Ways to grant familiar experience mid-combat:

• Frumious Bandersnatch only, without Ode to Booze active:
  • Saucestorm, Wave of Sauce, or Cannelloni Cannon: +1
  • Stuffed Mortar Shell (usable 1x/combat): +2
• Stilton Splatter (at the end of combat, only available as a Cheese Wizard): +3

Ways to grant familiar experience outside of combat entirely:

• Ghost Dog Chow (potion): +20
• respected companion biscuit (potion): +1
• diabolic pizza (food): +40 (if made with fam hatchling/equipment) (also grants their familiar equipment if possible)
• Apriling band piccolo when played grants +40 experience to your current familiar, up to 3 times per day

Familiars may also gain experience at the Arena; all of the "per adventure" bonuses that can be used in the arena increase experience there.

A familiar in a Crown of Thrones or Buddy Bjorn also gains one experience per kill, but does not benefit from any of the items or effects listed above (this includes equipping the enthroned familiar with an item like the tiny fly glasses). Familiars that don't gain weight from combats don't gain weight in the Throne.

Finally, one of the Voting Booth's local initiatives gives an experience penalty of -2 Fam Exp/Fight.

Familiar Weight Modifiers

The following is a comprehensive list of all equipment and effects in the game that affect familiar weight, on top of the familiar's base experience. For ease of reference the data is broken down into several tables. As there are a great number of similar items (many pieces of +5 familiar weight equipment and many pieces of +1 familiar weight tiny plastic accessories), the data is shown first in compact form and then in more detailed forms.

For a guide to maximum possible weight, see Maximizing Your Familiar Weight.

One final note: the Comma Chameleon eats familiar-specific equipment and then performs like that familiar for about 40-49 adventures. It gets +5 weight for the duration, even if the eaten equipment does not usually grant weight.
