1.) When starting new instances, your pet does not auto teleport inside like how other summoned familiars do.
Proposed fix: add logic to auto teleport inside instance when starting new instance.
2.) Your pet will always try to pickup something even when nothing is eligible to be picked up. This induces the 15second cooldown even though nothing has been picked up. Consequently, you can't configure your pet such that it will not miss big drops due to this behavior.
Proposed fix: when a condition is triggered to pickup an item, the pet will look at all available lootpiles on the ground and pick up the max value item eligible item.
3.) The scavenging categories you can configure on your pet could benefit from some adjustments:
a.) Warpriest armor seems to be treated as Misc and not Armor
b.) Hilts are treated as weapons although it may be more appropriate to classify them as Misc.
c.) Noted items should include stackable items like cannonballs for example.
d.) Have a separate category for Potions (currently under Misc.) and another one for Jewelry (currently under Armor)
e.) Add a new category to only pickup drops in boss drop log when in boss instance
f.) Add an option to exclude items that cannot be sold in G.E.
