This is what happen for me

Day 1
I went out as a war31/nin to kill some ep and dc. forgot to time, but she didn't stay for more than 30min i reckon. After she left, i went to RV point to check her out.
New set of armour ^^
some extra bit of info. she couldn't hardly get any hate away from me XD even when i didn't use provoke ^^;

Day 2
I 'PL' her as a rdm61 in qufim. she only stayed for 10mins T.T went to check her again.
New set of armour ^^
no other options yet. so her combat style stays as shield.

That's all for now

My experiences:

1st day, Batallia Downs, NPC stayed for roughly 20minutes.
2nd day, Uleguerand range, NPC died to bomb after 10 minutes.
3rd day, Sanctuary of Zitah, NPC died in 1min to a bat link.

So far, I doubt the NPC has gained any exp, maybe it has only lost exp due to all those deaths.

But, I was allowed to choose it's job after the 3rd day, just like everyone else. My NPC is still lv30, wearing a doublet.

Today, 4th day, my NPC was healer. Did some nice things, dia paralyze slow etc. Impressive.

ALSO: Today when I selected 'let's chat' at Rulude gardens, the NPC no longer talked about the dragon fight, instead it was wondering what happened to the little girl in Eldieme Necropolis

Day 3: Nothing special. Went to Rolanberry, killed a few things. Went to the R. Point, and she was wearing new Body and leggings (Both Centurians'). This time, the "Let's talk about jobs." appeared and I switched her to Attacker.

Day 3, Session 4: Went to Altepa Desert, and she lvled to 31 after a couple fights. What was interesting about today was she told me when her TP was up. ^^ I thought that was pretty interesting. Mid-battle, she said "Ready when you are!"

Ok, so Im kinda upset that I cannot get my npc to lvl, I get about 400-500 xp per run so about 1800xp total now at least, is there something Im missing here? people seem to have them level after just 2-3 runs, whats up?

There are way too many posts to read and see if this was mentioned, but the NPCs are probably PLD/WAR and not WAR/???. I say this because while I was watching someone fight the Skeleton it cast Sleepga and their NPC had the "Resist! ??? resists the spell!" message. Paladin is the only job that gets the Resist Sleep trait as far as I know and that also expalins why they can Provoke and Cure later on

Yeah it starts off as a paladin, no idea if there job changes when you select healer/fighter though or whether its just a subjob change. There gear doesn't change so its hard to tell.

Agreed with the fact that the NPC starts out as a PLD. I'm not sure how it work on, say a WAR, but Aspir doesn't work on Beastmen that are not mages, so I firgure Aspir wouldn't work on a regular player that has no MP. A goblin cast Aspir on my NPC while in shield mode and stole 10 mp.

Also, she just dinged 31 on TWTBWW mobs, and after wearing a random assortment on my third time out (Trader's body, Eisen hands and legs, Lizard feet), she's now wearing what seems to be Mithra starting RSE all around. -_- Is that because I dropped the pearl? Or maybe it's because I changed her job, so she has to build up new equipment for that job? Well, I'll find out soon enough, I guess.

Good job on this. I did go back to Luto and she told me about the weapons, so I gave her an ash staff (wouldnt take holly), and since I made my npc a healer now, I look forward to this outcome.

I will say that I've yet to level him to 31. Grrr. Mainly cause of my jobs and his job. I'm either too high or too low.

His armor has changed so I guess I'm still getting somewhere.

And being able to call him 2x a day really rocks. Thanks for that. Great thread.

(and I refuse to even look at the guy who is trying to hijack this topic. He's only use a level 7 job!)

Gave my npc a butterfly axe, and set her to attacker.
(Could give weapon after 5th call, btw)
Results were... interesting.

NPC would tell me when she could use WS if I didn't have enough TP. Soon as I reached 100, she would fire off her WS. If I had 100+ by the time she was ready, she'd fire it off without a warning.

Figured I'd include these particular SCs 'cause someone mentioned Sturmwind ^^

SC:
Iron Tempest/Shield Break/Sturmwind->Burning Blade=Liquefication

Day 1: Summoned her and goofed off in batallia for a bit. Clicked on her by accident, and that ended the day.
Day 2: Summoned her in Qufim (main leveling spot), and killed some gigas. She was sc'ing with me. No new equips yet. Did a seraph strike->RLB for liquifaction.
Day 3-A: Qufim, same as Day 2 even with EQ, but rested and went afk, only to find 2 wights beating on me when I was at 50% HP. As expected, death.
Day 3-B: I see my npc has downgraded in equip (........), and go killing stuff. Kill some gigas and whatnot. What's interesting is when I didn't have tp and she did, she'd go ahead and do fast blade instead of RLB or flat blade. Other than that, usual SC. Died to a banshee later.

Minor note, I have noticed that when you set them to attacker style, they gain Double attack. Just pointing that out :3

So perhaps...

Shield style is pld/war (reasons: resists sleep, intimidates undead, cures 'later on')
Attacker is war/??? (reason: double attack)
Healer is whm/??? (reason: cure III)

And if I go by the census (some say the hairstyles are based on it, so who not job styles?)
Shield style is pld/war
Attacker is war/mnk
Healer is whm/blm

Lnik to the job page of the census

Just had a thought, there are only 3 job main options as was shown using ffxitool.

Tank
nin/pld
Healer
whm/rdm/smn/brd
Fighter
war/drg/sam/monk etc

Could it be that you select the job type from the 3 then on the sixth day the weapon you give them steers there job into one of the main types? For example pick fighter, then give them a GK and they slowly evolve into a samurai.

I don't think the NPC fits into any specific job/subjob combination. The "Shield" simply has an assortment of abilities that a tank would need, "healer" has abilities+spells a healer would need, attacker ect.
#168 Jul 23 2005 at 8:16 AM Rating: Decent
it appears the the Attacker style is war/mnk

Day 3 (well, more like i drop pearl and.... u know the rest)
Again, I 'PL' Henrietta at qufim again. She stayed a little longer this time round. 12min... Same thing, i wave farewell and went to check her at the RV point. Surprised to see, but she's there with this
New set of armour ^^
It's the hume lvl1 body armour o.0? but oh well, that's not important, since i'm 'pling' her XD. I also get the options to set her style of combat and signal me when ready for WS ^^

That's all for my 3rd outing with Henrietta ^^

To add to the list of tradeable weapons.

Uchigatana (Gkatana)

Thats the only thing ive traded so far, a question for those who have traded more. Does your npc randomly choose which weapon to use, or does another option appear to choose their weapon if youve traded more than one?

So far I have played with my npc 3 times.

Everytime when she left, she said that she must take leave.

Picture after third day, havn't seen this yet on a npc.

Someone said you could only have 3 different hairstyles for each race/gender of your npc.

This is the one I want. Does anyone know if it's a possible model?

on the 5th outing my NPC dings 32, mid battle. she wasnt the last one to land a hit so they dont gain xp per landed hit. 4 times the NPC has been out about 15mins before leaving, and 1 other time she died after about 10 mins. anyone know what could possible make the xp rise?
5th outing and not able to change weapon. i did the drop thing for the 5th outing, so mabey you get new options for days and not for summonings

Notes on my experience so far:

I have xp'd with my NPC 5 tines and have yet to get her to level. Here is what we have done so far.

session 1: my level 27 - xp 800 - time 35 minutes
session 2: my level 20 - xp 500 - time 45 minutes
session 3: my level 32 - xp 200 - time 20 minutes - NPC died
session 4: my level 59 - xp 200 - time 15 fights
session 5: my level 33 - xp 500 - time 45 minutes

My hypthosis is that the NPC does not gain any xp if she is below lvl 30. Despite the one death, if the NPC were gaining xp she should have leveled by now with 5 full sessions; many others have reported levels after 3 or even 2. Therefore I can only conclude that she did not gain xp either of my 1st two sessions; and probably did not get much form the third, since she died during it. Based on this I expect her to level today when I use her. I will let you know if this is the case.
