As there appears to be no centralized mention of the original aquisition quests in either of Cythe's threads, here's a guide I wrote up a while ago.
Obtaining your NPC:
Unlisted Qualities
Client: Luto Mewrilah
(Artisan Bridge, Upper Jeuno)
Summary:
Luto wants you to find out if the
person you chose from her list is
holding a certain mirror.
Upon talking to Luto Mewrilah, she asks if you're good at finding people.
She will give you the option of choosing a name from 8 lists, 1 list per
race and gender, 8 names on each one. This is the name your NPC will
take. After you are done with Luto's conversation, she tells you to ask
around for more information, the next part of the quest is in two steps.
The first step is talking to Atka, Kuah Dakonsa, and Red Ghost. These
three NPCs determine your characters hairstyle, they will ask a question
relating to what the character will look like, selecting the Yes answer
finalizes the deal, and sends you to step two. Selecting the No answer
allows you to back out and talk to the other two NPCs for their options.
The second step, after confirming your new friends hair style, is to talk to
Bheem, at the exit to Batallia Downs in Upper Jeuno. He will ask you if
your partners hair is his favorite color. Ofcourse, we have no idea what
his favorite color is, because he doesn't mention. This is just selecting the
A/B color of the hair type, by answering Yes or No.
Once you are finished building your NPC Companion, return to Luto
to complete the quest. She will tell you more about her plan, and give
you a Silver Ingot as an incentive to return and aid her further.

Girl in the Looking Glass
Client: Laurana (Artisan Bridge,
Upper Jeuno)
Summary:
Laurana's daughter has gone
missing. She is a young girl with
blonde hair, and was wearring a
brown dress with a brown cap.
After leaving Upper Jeuno and returning, go back to our friend Luto and
talk to her, you will trigger a cutscene where a Hume Woman is looking
for her lost daughter. Luto graciously volunteers you for the job! How
thoughtful...
Return to Bheem at the exit to Batallia Downs and talk to him. After the
scene with Laurana's daughter and your NPC in Bheems recollection,
head to Eldieme Necropolos, enter in through the Barrow at (G-8[/b).
Proceed inward, down the stairs and the bend in the cave, there will be
a ??? point on the right side, before the tunnel opens into the big room
at (F-8). Clear out all the hecteyes in the tunnel before checking the
point. Examine the point to see a cutscene where your NPC discovers
Laurana's daughter. A Notorious Monster Skeleton will appear. Defeat
him and then talk to your NPC. This part can be done with 3 people in
a party, but you must check the ??? and defeat the Skeleton for each
person there.
After everything is finished here, head back to Upper Jeuno and talk to
Luto to wrap up the quest.

Mirror, Mirror
Client: Luto Mewrilah
(Artisan Bridge, Upper Jeuno)
Summary:
Luto has recently discovered that
another mirror bearing strange
properties exists in the world.
It is supposedly somewhere in
San d'Oria and she wants you to
go look for it.
Leave and return to Upper Jeuno once again and speak to Luto, you will
see a scene in which you are told to search San d'Oria for another magic
mirror in Vana'Diel. Take off for Port San d'Oria and find Portaure in Cargo Room B. He will mention that a Caravan containing his merchandise had been ambushed by Orcs.
Head out to Ghelsba Outpost, and go through until you reach the hut with the fenced off yard(F-10). Checking the Hut Flap will result in a cutscene where a Dragon appears, and toss you into the yard for a fight. This fight is Level 40 Capped, but largely easy solo without armor, so bring something to use as a weapon atleast. This fight can also be done in a party of three like before, but you only need to face the dragon once. After the Dragons HP reaches 50%, another cutscene will start, and your NPC will arrive to fight along side you.
Head back to Luto, to wrap up the quest, and obtain your Signal Pearl from your NPC. This Earring will allow you to call your partner in the field.

NPC Information and Rewards
Leveling your NPC
Your NPC gains experience like Player Characters do, the monsters level in regards to your level does not matter, as long as the monster still atleast gives experience to your NPC, so even though a monster is Too Weak to be Worthwhile to you, if it's still Incredibly Tough to levels that your NPC is, the NPC will still gain 200 Experience Points. At first, your NPC will only stick around for 15 fights or 45 Minutes, whichever occurs first, but the battle and time limits increase over time. Their To Next Level(TNL) match the rate that Players do, and increases the same as they level up. NPC appearance may also change after your partner leaves for the day. Please search an area for any parties or Beastmasters that may be exping in your target location before heading out there, and even upon arriving. Your NPC can exp anywhere you can slaughter with ease, but thats not the case with actual parties, so be courteous.
Weapons
After a while of calling your NPC, Luto will talk about seeing your NPC browsing for weapons, Refer to the second post of this thread for the listing of each weapons and shields regarding to what tier you unlock.
