NPC Update ThreadFollow

I am going to be posting on here what happens each day with my NPC, to see where I went wrong and what I did right, and also to share what I have learned. If you would like to keep a log to help others out as well please do so.

Day 1

Area: South Gusta
My Job: level 7 Red Mage
Time she stayed: 12 minutes
New Armor: No
Level: 30

Log: We were chaining Toughs for the 12 minutes and neither of us had to rest the whole time. She was tanking better than most War's in the dunes.

What I learned: Call NPC is not possible in Promyvion and Dangruf Wadi

Day 2

Area: Battilia Downs
My Job: level 75 Paladin
Time she stayed: 17 minutes
New Armor: Body - level 40 BreastPlate
Level: 30

Log: Just fought with her killing orcs and tigers, I was skilling up great sword. I did the tanking this round and just let her fight.

What I learned: She lost a very small sliver of hp due to an Aoe, so I casted cure II on her to see what that sliver was worth and it healed her 37hp. My guess is she has somewhere around 500hp maybe more even.

Day 1: Western Altepa Desert
Me - 69 BRD
We ran around killing TWTBW Spiders and EP Ants and Maticores. My NPC started out using Fast Blade, but by the end was using Red Lotus Blade. Not sure if that meens she skilled up or not. She stayed for about 45 minutes before I zoned.

Today was my 3rd day with my NPC, every day going until she told me that, "We reached our quota". As I checked my Rendezvous point today, not only did she have new armor, she had the option to switch her job between those of "sheild", "attacker", and "healer", and when set to "attacker" a new option in the battle signals appears to make her tell you when she has tp. Albeit I can't tell how well it works due to the 20hrs ; ;. However, I do believe that after the 3rd time they are summoned, or the 3rd time they leave on their own, they gain the ability to change jobs. I got the sexy Mithra one too, so all in all, a fruitful endeavor.

Also another thinf I foudn out

Sheild= Pld, you can tell becaus it has mp, and intimidates skeletons. How to get it tp us mp howe4ver is beyond me.

Attacker= Drk, I know this because it also has mp.

Healer=whm I know this because first of all it says healer and secondly it does not have and attackign combat options, only hp and mp and nop combat option which also leasd me to know for a fact that attacker and sheild wore dark and pld respectively because the npc only shows what it does.

ok i got this the other night....walked out killed 2 things and then tried to talk to her...she left...now today i went out to sauromage...i was DRK75/RDM37 ran around killing weapons...she left after 25 minutes...i droped my pearl...went to rendezvue point...talked to her...she now had lizard gear on...got a new pearl...ran back out and killed more weapons...she hit lvl 31...stayed for 35 minutes this time ^^...went back to rendezvue point...no new armor no choice to change jobs...but i have learned 2 things here...1 u can toss pearl and get another and timer is reset on it...but can only do that once per day...second thing ive found is that if u talk to NPC u actually have about 10 seconds to talk to it again and if u do it will stay instead of leaving...i just hope to change its job soon...lol pisses me off when my NPC who is lvl 31 now vokes off me when im lvl 75...obviously she dont keep hate long but she sure can take a beating lol...whirl of rage {No Thanks!}


Edit-I forgot to say how long it stayed the second time out

Alivas, that information could either be extremely helpful, or extremely mean.
Pokiehl throws away Signal Pearl.
/check Rendevouz Point, recieves nothing, is screwed over from ever having npc buddy ever again.

-or-

/check Rendevouz Point, recieves another one, able to level her up faster.

Either way, I'm not trying this till I see some more people test it. I've already thrown away my Happy Egg, Wing Pendant and yesterday almost tossed out my Temple Cyclas. I have really bad luck with stuff.

Day 3 : went as 5 drg again in gustaberg. very very easy fight. I soloed a chain X5 on even and tough @.@ . She stayed around 12 minute (where i got around 1k xp solo) then left.

Went to rendez-vous point and she now have lizard gloves legs and feet but body is still scale.

I can now change her fighting style too and since i got her to go away the first 2 times i think it confirm that she can change style after 3 call whatever happen during those calls.

Thanks. Pyaa^^

<bump> update thread without sticky

Day 6
I took her out as a healer and went to duo with a friend...found out the hard way she odoesn't heal anybody but the person who calls her (me). She will immediatly cast stoneskin, auaveil, and blink when she is called and only casts Cure III, when I am in red-yellow hp.she left after around 30 minutes that time. She is now wearing RSE body and I dunno what kidna pants. Other things I can tell you is when resting, if her mp fully heals she will say so.

edit: And I just noticed somethign O_O; Her hair changed colors to white..has anyoen else experienced this? O_o

2nd Calling

Area: Western Altepa Desert
My Job: level 75 Paladin
Time she stayed: 44 Minutes
New Armor: Lizard Jerkin body
Level: 34

Log: Killed spiders and Ants

What I learned: I was able to upgrade scythe to a Brass Zhangal with Luto.

I got a cutscene with Luto and she said something about trading her a weapon and she will give it to my NPC. so I bout a Great Sword for my Galka, and now he uses it when we go out! I'm not sure if you can get the weapon back at all to sell back. I think i'll eventually get him to skill up on all of the weapons. ^^ I think you get the Cutscene with her after the 4th or 5th time out

Day: Im not sure anymore.

My NPC is now level 37

Been going Western Altepa Desert

My NPC died first time yesterday . I was resting when a Cactuar came and aggroed. I had no MP to heal my NPC. She survived the first 1000 needles attack, but died on the 2nd one.

Nothing new to update yet, but when there is I will be sure to post it.
