So I remember receiving like two llamas before this whole llama upgrading thing was introduced, but I don’t remember where they are. This led me to the issue of the compatibility of the new llama upgrading system and the minipet wardrobe.
I believe that when you bind a minipet to your account it deletes the inventory item, making it unable to be used in a mystic forge recipe. This means that you can’t keep the former tier llama unless you make an extra. I don’t know if this is the intended process, or whether it will work like ledgendarys where it unlocks the precursor when made, but I think an interesting approach to this process would be through the collection system.
