Guide updated.
Changes - removed budget pet builds due to not being able to update them to satisfaction.
What does that mean exactly? simple - you are better off just using any random pet item you come across and just go straight to farming for the endgame setup rather than try to make a “stepping stone” in between the two.
Farming SR can be done reliably with just faction items and random rare drops. Worst case scenario, monster totems provide a decent amount of loot and now nemesis farming is easier than before since they come to you.
For anyone who wants something strong on a “budget” I rather redirect you to this one - Nocturne – Lazy, Budget, Player scaled Pets Conjurer, It is not exactly a proper pet build, so I chose not to blatantly copy paste it as my budget pet build recommendation
