Amplifier (Pets)

The amplifier collects bonuses from your pets, and only your pets, and echoes those bonuses throughout the sim. This allows you to only have one set of boosting pets out instead of multiple sets to cover different areas. Only the bonuses from pets are collected and distributed. The bonuses do not overlap -- multiple amplifiers will have no additional effect other than potentially applying the bonuses more quickly instead of every few minutes. Pets maintain their bonuses for several hours, so there is no need for this constant spam from multiple amplifiers.

The 'Stats' option on the Amplifier's blue-menu will allow you to see what bonuses it has specifically learned from other pets. Bonuses from moon pools, trumpeters, and other sources are not recorded by the Amplifier -- only bonuses learned from a pet. The pets do not constantly spam out bonuses, so it may take an hour or two before it learns all of the bonuses from the pets that it can hear.  

The Amplifier is Sim-Wide, and provides a bonus equal to the highest-tier bonus that it has discovered. The amplifier resets every day, requiring the pets to remain near it in order for it to maintain the sim-wide bonuses indefinitely.

The Amplifier's (x) will change to (√) once it has learned a bonus.

Additional comments from Butterfly:

Tend plant is gardener, but druids and golems do the job too AND do things like prune and water. They just don't specifically tend plant as much as gardener does.  Nothing replaces gardener.  They all replace worker. Gardener does an absolute boatload of work for specifically tending plants. But gardener doesn't spread potting soil.  Or prune.

Some classes do several jobs. Paladin replaces bard and priest, technically.  But saint is better than paladin in some cases too.  The base classes just do one thing.  Every advanced class does 2-4 at the same time.

[13:32] Butterfly Bellflower:There are probably six different classes that all give morale on some level. Like, I know paladin gives morale.  But it's not a great source of it.
