Wonder if we should be doing it?

I doubt that will stop anyone. If the programmers designed it so you could, they have no one to blame but themselves. The massive use of that trick just goes to show how very popular these npcs are and how much people want to use them. SE should feel complimented and see this as a reason to lower the time limit.

Got lvl 33 and 34 tonight for my npc. Tommorow night, 35 hereI come.

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

makes me wonder. they gave us NPC to play with but only let us play with them like 15-20 minutes a day. It's just like how you have to wait 40 days to get the mandragora caps, doesn't make any sense : /

[QUOTE=kuu]Great katana has SC-ism... makes it easy. Great for lvl 75melees plvling that open up a 400+ SC closer. My npc likes to use either enpi or goten, which always allows me to close a 400 distortion QUOTE]

Actually I was thinking regular katana... mithra ninjas are hot XD

Ok, got to trading some weapons to Luto. Here are the ones I've been able to get her to take.

Katana - Wakizashi
Polearm - Bronze Spear
Axe - Brass Axe
Scythe - Brass Zaghnal
Great Axe - Greataxe
Great Sword - Two-Handed Sword
H2H - Brass Knuckles

I haven't figure out the following:
Great Katana - Tried Nodachi, Kanesada, and Okanehira
Sword - Tried Brass Xiphos, and Spatha
Staff - Tried Holly Staff
Club - Tried Bronze Rod, and Brass Rod
Dagger - Tried Brass Dagger

That's all for now, I'm sure someone will come up with the ones i'm missing soon^^"

I tried trading a Wakizashi but it didn't work however a Kunai did.

hmmm, where is everyone leveling their NPCs? I've done 3 sessions in Eastern Altepa Desert vs Beetles but I am still only level 31, I am wondering if anyone can give a WHM/BLM or WHM/NIN advice on the best ways to exp my NPC faster, thanks in advance ^^

I personally have used the bats in BD and recently I've been using spiders in west altepa. NPC will hit 35 tomorrow, not sure if I should stay on those spiders or not though.

Western Altep since I can fight DCs and EPs to get xp also lol (2 birds, 1 pearl >.>)


BTW...has anyone tried trading two katanas to Luto for their npc? It seems weird having Sahyu having a katana and a shield >.>' If i can't have her dual weild katanas I'll prob go Great Axe.

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

As for the staff you can trade to Luto, it is Ash staff. My level 32 healer NPC happily totes it around, and uses the various weapon skills ;p Funny though, because he looks like a meeleing WHM

If you read carefully, the person who made the GM Call made a mistake and talked about getting a new pearl from the quest giver (Luto Mewrilah), not from the Rendezvous Point. I doubt it's an exploit, considering there's already a limit of one extra pearl per day.

If it is an exploit, I wouldn't be surprised that some day soon the next time one of us drops a pearl and asks for a new one we'll find the same timer on it as was on the old one.

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

I think s-e kinda helped us out on purpose on this one. I think they just wanted us to figure this one out on our own but limit us to the 1 extra a day so we didn't abuse it too much.

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

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

I have my NPC helping me kill EPs with my lv.37 (well, I have a revolving door on lv.36/37) Red Mage, so I know my NPC is gaining more xp per kill than I am. Though I've had some bad luck with her. (Call1: NPC dies to EM Tabar Beak, Call4: I die to DC Ochu.)
