I am having a very similar problem. I just bought the ring from someone and when I put it on it said that I already had a pet and that I should take care of it. So I tried summoning it and it said that I didn\'t have a familiar to comand. I thought that maybe I needed to name it first and that just seemed to confuse the game even more... I paid many Trias for it.

My character\'s name is Hodares Welas and his pet has not yet been named (but I was going to name it Felox)
