Changes to adventuring fellows.

[Olrox]

The following changes have been made to fellows:
-HP and MP recovery for fellows will now take less time when the /heal command is used.
-Magic and other abilities you use on party members will now also benefit the fellow you summoned.
- Fellows' equipment requirements have been changed.
-Fellows can now use a greater variety of equipment.
-The magic recast time for fellows has been decreased.
- Conditions for the usage of recovery magic for stalwart shield and soothing healer type fellows have been changed.
-Fellows will no longer use the white magic spell "silence" on monsters in the crab and beetle families.
- Certain fellow abilities have been strengthened.
-Fellows no longer use the following weapon skills:
Spinning Attack/Cyclone/Circle Blade/Shockwave/Spinning Scythe/Earth Crusher

Anyone test any of the bolded things out yet? do npcs heal and use -na spells more often; and any insight onto what "abilities" have been strengthened?.. since the only "ability" an npc really has is that 2 hour that I have only seen my npc use once (Blessed Radiance)

And also equip requirements? I haven't seen anything on wiki or any posts on here yet about this? I know someone has to still use their npc... thanks for any info!

Won't be able to test this till maybe Friday, Equipment supposedly (by SE's own words, although I once watched mine outdamage my GA War in promy with a lvl 12 GK...) has no effect on NPC damage, so I'd say it means they can simply equip more armor/weapon models or the minimum requirements for new weapons/locking pieces has been changed. Abilities can also include weaponskills, it's possible they've been strengthened as well. More to come later.

One goal I had for my NPC was to create a warrior fisherman, so hopefully I can finally get him to wear that full set. He's got a Scorpion Harness at the moment.
