	So after previous point, always use "eps_cmd banish" command, or just leave the minion to an altar when you leave game. This way, it will always be lvl 5 when you conjure it. Because if you conjure lvl 5 minion with 1040 saved exp, and then kill only few things, minion now has 1100 total exp, and if you save at this point, the next time you summon it it will have only (0.8 * 1100 = 880 exp) which is less than level 5.

			''NOTE: I have NOT excessively tested what a minion would be like, if I managed to ramp its "saved exp" up to, for example, 5m exp. I have always just saved it when i know it will come out as lvl 5. So go and test if having A LOT more saved exp than needed makes any difference! :)''
