I played a lot back around ElonaPlus 1.20-ish and want to start again. Fortunately it seems like there was no problem loading my data to 1.58.

Last time I stopped playing because it was too difficult to train my pets and I didn't want to just dominate really strong ones, I want to raise the three I have. Is it easier to enhance my existing pets than it was before? Party (all around level 47):

(Main character) Fairy Farmer, light armor (fairy, duh), guns. Also 316 farming skill.

(Pet 1) Cat Princess, heavy armor, sword + shield melee fighter.

(Pet 2) Black-catgirl, light armor, dual-wielding melee.

(Pet 3) Dog-sister, medium armor, crossbow.

I would like to avoid doing anything gross to my allies like giving them extra arms and stuff through gene engineering. What will I need in my party to tackle 2nd/3rd continent fights? I assume magic, seems like I could start learning it myself on main character. Never been good at actually fighting, iirc I only got the item to evolve my black-catgirl by wishing Lulwy in on the boss that carried it.
