To preface - I have spent a bunch of time with my nose in BD guides. I understand some of it but a lot is still going over my head but I'm trying to learn more outside just asking the community to teach me!

I have a BD pet that I've been continuing to let her stats grow through Faerie Quests. Currently her stats are:

• Level - 88
• Health - 195
• Strength - 208
• Defense - 170
• HSD Total - 573

I know her stats are uneven and would need balancing if I want to actually focus on training. I suspect younger me was properly training her and then when I returned I just let the daily FQCs slowly increase her stats which made it uneven. The limited information I understood from BD guides led me to getting her two Turned Tooth(s) and she knows Lens Flare.

She kicks the crap out of the Koi Warrior daily for my shop fodder and I know she can take on Jetsam Ace as well from my Premium Days. I can also easily handle a bunch of battles for the regularly Obelisk rotations.

I just don't know if there's any worth in continuing to increase her stats? I know that means I could probably take on harder opponents but is there a lot of use in that? At some point is she just becoming more of a trophy pet with higher stats? I don't intend to ever trade her since she's a source of steady income and lets me participate in things so there's no need to push her stats to get into higher trading tiers. If it's not worth it I might want to start investing in another pet.

I've never participated in a plot before or anything big BD related to know if it's worth pushing her to a certain point to be able to participate more. I'd like to be able to do plot BD things if they ever come around again.

Mostly looking from opinions from BD people - where would you stop if you aren't dedicated to getting to super high tier BD stuff? I know the concepts of worth or value are specific to individuals but I'd still love to hear opinions and reasoning.
