you can only ever benefit from one copy of a familiar (weird ducks like 99 light sprites georg over there notwithstanding). hell, tons of people will resell their sprites after awakening them, meaning that they use an average of less than one per person. conversely, you can use as many copies of a piece of apparel as you have apparel slots across all your dragons. in conclusion, i am begging people to stop citing luminous halos as "proof" the value of the items wouldn't change too much. a way more useful comparison would be looking at the value of something like the 2016 familiars compared to 2015 ones, and what percent higher the 2015 cost is relative to 2016. (I have not actually checked this math yet, and I have no idea whose argument it favors; mostly I just want people to stop making the apples and oranges comparison to luminous halos.)
