Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

Well for some reason I can't get the Blighted Gloom quest. Anyone know what the requirements are on this? I did the first quest now but Luto just says to check back later now.

Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

The list doesn't mention it, but can you call your NPC in Boyahda?

[Cythe]

Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

Tsuim hit 55 today. I got yet another offer to upgrade her weapon. The jump in weapon level widened this time. For Great Axe users, your weapon following Hydro Axe will be the Voulge.

The link I provided has also listed what Equipment changing options your fellow can get.
I may translate it later if I have time for it.

Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

I think that there's some bad news for the people who upgraded their weapons prior to the order swap. I was able to give a Uchigatana to my NPC who had been using the old second upgrade, Tachi.

On another note, do the third and fourth upgrades come at 50 and 55 respectively?

Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

There's no set NPC level as far as I can tell but it looks like its based on relationship, number of callings and some other undetermined factors.

Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

I have finished both "Past Reflection" and " A Pose by Any Other Name", but I can't get "Picture Perfect" quest, Diederik only mentioned about himself getting a piece of Angelica's work. What did I do wrong? ;.;

Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

I finished the first new NPC quest, however I still have not been able to activate the NPC points in promyvion or the first NPC genkai. I suspect it could be because of one of two things, the timer on the pearl was not up at the time, or my relationship with my NPC is not what it needs to be.

any insight?

Re: How to raise your NPC buddy

Hmmm.... I've been off of FFXI for about six weeks... I seem to have missed a lot.

It seems like there is a lot of information that has yet to be added to the O.P.... are there plans to add to it?
