why isn't this stickied? best thread on the main board.

ding 62 npc. still working on getting austre/nobles set for npc though

is soothing healer whm or rdm? also what weapon is best for them?

Ok, if this has been covered already i'm sorry... but i'm not reading through 39 pages of replies and the forum search seems to never work... so ya.

Anyways, I was reading about the last NPC quest on that ffxi wiki thing, and one thing I noticed is someone put a comment in about how your NPC will be able to use Blessed Radiance (or something) when you complete that. My question is, just what the heck is that? I know it was saying that your NPC will counter the Blighted Gloom (strong darkness attack) with BR, so is it like some strong light attack your NPC will do? And how do you get them to do it? 2hr or something?

Im on the first limt quest I have talked to the girl in Windurst then went to Korroloka tunnel and got my bal shell.

When I try to give it to Umberto nothing happens what am I doing wrong?

Can anyone sticky this...it deserves a place at the top ^_^

Not sure if anyone's said anything about it in this thread, but I am not the slightest bit impressed with Fierce Attacker as an advanced job.

As my NPC has been an Attacker since I got the ability to change their jobs, I thought I'd easily be able to see the difference when I got it upgraded to Fierce Attacker. But... I really can't.

He's used a Scythe-type weapon for a while now. His weapon skills were the four any Scythe-users could use level 34+ - Slice, Dark Harvest, Shadow of Death and Nightmare Scythe. He used them pretty evenly, suggesting the choice of which to use is simply random.

Now he's a Fierce Attacker, none of that has changed a bit. He still uses all four skills, and he still uses them evenly. I was hoping there'd be better capability for them to finish skillchains, or more adaptability in starting them so they'd eventually learn to only use the skills I want them to (Dark Harvest and Shadow of Death), but they really don't. It's still all four, chosen at random.

He's also no stronger or more accurate than when he was a normal Attacker, and the Double Attack rate appears to be exactly the same (actually, it appears to be a little less, but I doubt they'd do that, so I'm chalking it down to bad luck those last few calls).

Basically, the only addition I've found at all when my NPC became a Fierce Attacker is that now he gives me a warning when he hits 90%.

Which really isn't worth it.

Noticed something.

In upper Jueno, near the homepoint, there's this new NPC from the up and coming expansion pack that sticks a badge on you.

After getting that badge, I went to Luto...and she saw it... No other NPC has reacted to it yet but her...

Oh, hell no.

Sadly my friend, there is a badge in every nation for a total for 4 badges/invitations. If you look in you key item you will find the <pos>s for all the NPC you need to talk to. Each zone has 4-5 npcs so each badge has 16-20 total npcs to talk too. If you are really bored, you can do all four wildcat quests for a total of 64-80 npcs. Fun! Fun! Fun! I enjoyed this was much as the Windshear Hat quest when I talked to every NPC in the zone and still did not get the hat. >.<

But, you did sum it up nicely in those three precious words.

As far as I have tested, NPCs cannot be called in ANY ToAU zone.

This is really dissapointing - there are a lot of areas that would be perfect for leveling them from 60-65 there too...

I was disappointed to find this out today too. With the NPC quests tying into the Aht Urghan storyline, I think a lot of us were hoping that the expansion would be designed with NPCs in mind... I'm thinking of things like Assault missions that allow (or better yet, require) fellowship NPCs to come along.

Hopefully they'll at least support NPC calls in the new areas soon.
