Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

They role play their reports. it's not like <hp>HP <mp>MP @<tp>

They will say something like,
"Wow this is tougher then I thought" red/orange hp
"I'm out almost out of mp"
"MP full, I'm ready to go"
"Ready when you are" <---TP

etc.

Why should you be able to pop your NPC in Sky/Sea? Do you remember taking him through the missions to get access?

I guess they need to do the promys also. I couldn't pop it in Luf. Meadows. Though I am sticking with Xarcabard to exp him. Demon Pawn and Demon Knights seem very well to exp off of.

Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

Called my npc 6 times now (lvl 32 still), but still can't get the weapon comment. Also, even with all filters off and dmg set to text (or both), the npcs dmg given and taken do not show. She also does not report hp, mp, or anything else despite selecting those when speaking with her right before heading out. Anyone else encountering any of this?

The chat filter you want to turn off is "Damage taken by Foes."

I made visual aids...


The above is where I have my filters set. The problem with these settings is that you can also see other people's pets' and NPCs' damage/abilities/effects too.

I hope this helps.

Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

I managed to take Yoli out for my 3rd outing last night (I have been having a busy weekend so I'm slow )

Of note, Yoli leveled my 2nd outing to 31 halfway through fight (Beetles in W Altepa) and after mowing through some critters in Sauro, told me she reached her quota and left. I checked back with her after this and now I get to choose fight style (Shield, Attack or Healing) and ask her to let me know when she gains enough TP for a WS (New item for me this time)

Here's a screenie of my 3rd outing:

Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

My Yoli said something odd earlier. We were fighting the Dragoon AF weapon NM, and it used a few AE skills. She said something a long the lines of "No! I won't give up!" but didn't do anything special. Is this something she says at half health?

She really knows how I like it! :D

Attended... ^^

Impaction, maybe. I dunno. Either hp or mp. TP would be more obvious i think.

I got cutscene from Luto and trading waepon after only 5 calls. Attacker NPC is fun with greataxe. ^^

Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

Well I got the job selection after only my first call to the NPC. The thing was she did it mid way on one of the meetings with her. It seems I called her enough times at the Rendezvous points that it gave me the option. She has also switched her armor, so far it doesn't seem to be area related. The gear I had on my npc was the same as two other friends which all three of us did in different areas, the gear seems to indicate the NPCs progress in some way.

So far all three of my friends had thier Mithra's advance in gear the same way. First the feet changed to some high boot set, the body changed to Lizard Jerkin, then the Legs changed to some trunks, then the body again changed to looking like a doublet. It was consistent even though 1 fought in rolandberry, 1 fought in Sanc. of Xi'Ta, and 1 fought in Battila Downs.

So far I already know the 20 min. limit is not real, but it does take roughly 20 min. to kill about 15 monsters which does seem to be the set number. On my first call she left after 5 min, I killed 15 monsters as fast as I possibly could to see if I could force a early leave and it worked. I went through Barrage and EES as well as my WSs as fast as I possibly could to test this. On my second call she lasted for 1 hr. this time I hardly killed anything mostly just goofed around, again though exactly at 15 monsters down she left.

On my third try I tested another thing, she appears that she will stick around longer then 15 kills if you are chaining monster after monster. As in auto-targeting kicking in, the instant you put away your weapon after 15 kills though they'll bolt on you.

So far that's been my experience with the npc's from the "Fellowship Quest", need to test it out more. I've been more focused on finding what makes them stay then anything else right now.

Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

Well Sahyu is now a lvl 32 Attacker ^^. She is currently wearing Lizard body, gaiters, and what looks like Chainmail pants and gloves. I have only called her in Western Altep (where I can solo xp on my DRG (Kill two birds with one...pear >.>; I think that the gear that is changed on your npc is completely random (My friend called her npc 2 times last night at it appears she is already wearing mythril gloves...called in two areas outside jeuno. My npc seems to stay max time, while for my friend its different (she got 30 min or so first time and only 15 the second time).

I am wondering if it is possible the npc stays longer if you seem to need it more (i was always fighting ep and dc with my npc). I guess more testing is needed.

Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

Uhm is it true you can get your npc to stay longer if you talk to him right before he disappears? Right after he says his sentence (fruitful day etc). Cuz I tried it today but he disappeared in just a few seconds >.>

Re: How to raise your Pokemon - speculations from 2ch

I tried that, didn't work
