I wonder if they will add another lvl cap to lvl 70 that would be nice, but i havent heard anything, my npc almost lvl 63 now so should be 65 sooon.

Hey I have a question about my npc. I've been leveling her with my bf for a while and both our npcs are ~ level 55. We xped them in areas controlled by beastmen (regardless if it was 100% under beastmen control or not) to get them scorpion harnesses, dragon harnesses etc. It worked just fine with his npc (who has a scorpion harness now), yet mine doesn't seem to be able to get anything better than lizard jerkin as body gear, but level 65~ boots <.< I then called her about a hundred times, still in areas controlled by beastmen, and she still won't get anything better than a lizard jerkin (her only alternatives are very first rse and chocobo vest-like body gear).

Does anyone have the same kind of trouble ? Are there some npcs that just *cannot* get some kind of gear ? Or am I doing something wrong ? I tried all kind of areas controlled by beastmen, twice and called her about 50 times each, I really think she just can't get a scorpion harness (or well as a matter of fact I would be happy if she could at least get rse2) :/

lala To my understanding our npcs will get exp no matter what level they are.

But my npc has been level 48 and has said "I'm leveling up really soon!" the past 4 times I've called her out. WHY? :((

Is she not getting any exp? I've been leveling in Movalpolos (mobs are 38~40) to try and get her a scorpion harness.

Anyone else think the NPC is a failed idea? SE has yet to continue the story and you cant summon your NPC in any ToAU area...

is it just me or is the mirror image fight really hard 0/4 ; ;

I need some help on this. I talked to luto and did the capped fight. After talking to luto again all she says is "All by yourself? Wheres npc?" over and over. I tried the door at the tenshodo and it just says "Do not Disturb" I also went to the rendevouz point and after clicking on quests my npc says "We should tell luto that palmetta is safe." Did I miss something? Please help,thanks.

I couldn't really found an answer to this question so I'm posting this here.

I'm a beastmaster leveling her NPC. Does anyone know if the NPC gets the same amount of xp when a pet is fighting along your side? Beastmasters get less, but how about the NPC?

And how about when you fight with more people? Do they still get the same amount of xp?

is this thorical or is there somethig i dont know? havent been here a while so i'm not sure if they rasied the caps

I havent gotten to this point, but with other things like this, you have to have your Signal Pearl equipped to your ear before talking.



Now, my question is: i've been calling my npc to help me fight at lv 25ish etc for a long time, and i've still been strengthening my bond with my npc. i did the first quest you do with ur npc (in windy w/ the orastery) about a week ago. i've been calling out my npc and fighting (with my blm70) higher level mobs to help him level every day for the past week, and i'll talk to him at the rezvendous point at least once a day, but my bond doesnt seem to be going up. i really want to do the emptiness exploration so that i can level up my npc much faster, but the bond doesnt seem to be getting strong enough to allow me to do this. is there anything i'm missing?

Pretty much. Also, remember that your bond actually "caps" itself until you do another quest.

For instance, every time you do a quest that says "your bonds streghthen" at the end of it as a reward is just setting the bond cap higher.

Just keep at it. I think I was able to get a tactics around weapon upgrade 3 or 4.

They didn't forget about us!!! Next update S-E will at least get rid of one annoying restriction.

For rank 10 armor you have to kill The opposing beastmen in Dominant areas. So If you want say "Noble's Tunic" you have to kill Yagudo in a Windy dominant area, also you have to max out in kills.

My NPC Taru is lv.65 and has "Noble's Tunic" "Adaman Sabaton's" and I.M. Leggings, along with a Darksteel Helmet. He looks like a savage.

There's a guide out there listing all the Armors and what not, along with the weapon upgrades, but remember, you don't want an area weapon. My NPC uses a Spear and does Wheeling Thrust often, I can SC Light off of that with my DRK.

Also, your better off waiting till you complete all missions so you can get 3rd lock option on armor, useless to waste calls just to lock 1 piece, as you will go back to Rank 1 armor as soon as you level NPC out of area.

For the quest Past Reflections, I can't seem to get the quest started and I need help why I can't. I've talked to Tosuka-Porika in Windy, and of course he gave me 2 quests to do with finding some books for his place, which I've now completed. I waited a day to see if that wast the problem, but it wasn't. I have talked to Luto, she has given me the quest, I'm suppose to find a book, which in the Opistery there is 3 books if you do a seach. 1 book tells me I'm cursed, the 2nd tells me I've gained 300k,(which both are fake) the third I can't open. Help me please ; ;
