Compilation of NPC companion info.

you think if the NPC relationship starts to worsen, that it may take longer to get the extra stuff when you goto a rendezvous point or talk to luto? like the ability to change jobs, use a different weapon... etc?
 
Yea most likely the lowering of your relationship with the NPC will affect the things that become available. It's probably going to be a very bad idea to throw your pearl for a new one now.
 
My NPC has increased the number of fights she sticks around to, to 20, up from 15.
 
Does it tell you when your NPC levels up? Cause the last 3 pearl uses I've been killing Dhalmel in Eastern Altep and my NPC doesn't seem to have levelled at all.. =\

really? did it just happen without notice or did Luto tell you something?
 
Mine has also just jumped up to 20 fights. It didn't give warning, just kind of happened.

NPCs level just like a PC does. The whole flashy level up thing goes over them and you can hear it as well as it announces in the log window. Just like any other level up.
 
If you do not do any fights, will your NPC stay out forever as long as you stay in the same zone? for instance.. if I bazaar in batallia downs over the night, will my NPC stay there?

It should since everyone here agrees NPC stay out for a set number of fights

just curious :)

They only stick around for about 1.5x their level in minutes. So at the begining, 45 minutes.

i think the reason SE did this is bcuz they wanted training with your NPC to feel more like training another PC, hence the increase in the number of fights they stay out for. i really wish i could go places to train Romidiant where i won't die :? :lol:
 
I can't confirm that Protectra/Shellra hits them, at least mine do not.

Hm that's what I originally had. I was told otherwise, but hadn't tested it again(Since I level with PLD). Ah well. I'll chance it back.
 
Ive confirmed

I've confirmed that I can cure, and haste my npc.
I can also cast Protect and shell on them.. cannot put regen or erase..
from what I gather .. any spell that requires them to pt with you cannot be cast..
it's a partnership and not a party I guess...
I've called mine successfully and killed with her 4 times now.. and she still hasn't leveled..
I've been killing leeches, bats, clippers, and wights in Qufim Island.. tonight I'll take her to Yhutunga Jungle and see how she does..
last night was the first time I've lost her to the time limit rather than no. of kills..
My NPC is still lvl 30, and set to healer.. I've noticed she stoneskin's protect II herself frequently.. and dia's and paralyzes the mob regularly.. even sometimes after I do Dia II and paralyze already.. other than that It's pretty seamless.. She's only died once, and does pretty good damage with her sword.. Luto has not given me the option to trade her weapons as of yet.. Good thing too.. I wasnt sure what to start her on.. was thinking on putting her on a centurion's sword .. we'll see.
 
Quote from FFXIonline:

Today my Yoli decided not to tell me she was out of MP until after I was dead. I ended the fight with 200 HP wondering why she wouldn't heal me, then died to poison effects, still wondering why she wasn't doing anything. I died, she disappeared and said "Whoops! I'm almost out of MP!"

Almost?

I'm guessing thats the kind of stuff that happens with bad relationship with NPC?
 
I've gone murdering stuff in Eastern Altepa three times now with the NPC, still no level-up. Are you sure my being 72 doesn't put the exp to 0? :oops:

Sorry to be mean, but that's just funny!
not to be rude.. but it is..
I'm glad I didn't throw my pearl away when everyone else was!
wonder if you can get back in her good graces..
if you haven't leveled your npc. .you can always go back and get a new one. ~,<

I dunno if tossing it all this time wouldve had any effect as this is something new. You probably only just missed out on extra xp sessions :P

I've gotten mine to 39 with 71/72 drk
 
Ishaela - my NPC has levelled while I was farming in Zi'tah at 64, so your level does not affect their exp (it happened early into my second session with her, maybe ~17 fights?).

While in Healer mode, will the NPC automatically rest when it's low on MP, or does it rest only when you do? If that's the case, Hercules Ring > NPC for non-stop farming (which I was quite excited for).
 
The NPC will only heal when you do.

On a side note, I see a lot of repeated questions. So you all know, I've been editing my original post everytime something new is found out, so just look there for your answers. I've gone through all the questions asked and edited accordingly if they were not already answered in the original post. :D
