When doing the Tactics manual quest, make sure to bring your signal pearl with you. I wasted over 30 minutes trying to figure out why the ??? wouldn't start the cutscenes in Delkutt's tower. You don't have to be wearing it, just have it in your inventory.

Got all 3 styles due to my NPC leveling static. We're finding 56+ lvling to be really slow now.

Did you change where you are leveling?

At level 56, I figure best bet would be some place like Cape Terrigan. Some place where mobs atleast are still EP to lvl 70.

We're leveling in Uleguerand Range on Buffalos which are EP which are lvl 62-65. It makes for decent farming at the same time with meat and occasional hide, and we've gotten Bonnacon 4 times with 2 Cure Clogs drop.

Oh by the way, it's my second call after the Capers quest and my NPC now stays out for 25 mobs (well, I counted 24 but I probably forgot a mob)

Also, Fierce Attacker... I think the only difference is in what WSs he uses. Mine will only use Raiden Thrust > Vorpal Thrust for WS (I use staff) and Pentathrust and Double Thrust only once so far.

I'm pretty sure this is true of all NPC quests, you can't get or proceed in them if your signal pearl is in your moghouse. When I did NPC G2, I got the quest, talked to the doctor, then went and changed into level 50 gear for Riverne B. When I got back and talked to Luto, she said nothing new was happening until I pulled my regular gear (including Signal Pearl) from my moghouse.

To get from 56-57, you have to kill something like 60+ mobs, even if they're EP-DC at 75.

That's one of the few things wrong with the OP. New headgear options are the result affinity. In the OP's case (or who ever submited the info) it was just a coincedence that completing Blighted Gloom coincieded with new headgear.
#235 Oct 25 2005 at 9:58 PM Rating: Good
agreed. i got the headgear one before i did that quest. i got the red ribbion just before brake 60

A little warning for anyone who isnt a high lvl doing the Blighted Gloom quest...I went as 42drg/21whm...NPC is 34...slime spammed Fluid toss and each time did over 250 damage to my NPC..didnt take long for him to die and I died very soon after.

Decided to change to whm and just heal NPC and let him slowly kill it...first Fluid Toss 340+...dead NPC...2 tries...2 deaths..I think I'll wait until I get my NPC a few more lvls before I try again.
1st try...NPC set as healer
2nd try...NPC set as attacker

Anyone else noticed this?

I always level npc with my 64rdm friend because I'm 53thf and my npc is level 50 so for decent xp I need some help. When we both use our Signal pearls, the NPCs only stay out for 15 kills max. If we call them one at a time (1 person call, finish 20 kills, other person call) they stay out for 20 kills. Also, since we've gotten our Tactics Pearls, if 1 person calls with Signal and the other person with Tactics, the NPCs will stay for 20 kills each even though they're both out.

Just for the record my npc is 50, limit 1 completed, Food and Blighted Gloom completed, just got 4th weapon upgrade. My friend's is 51 limit 1 completed obviously, same quests complete and he's on the 3rd weapon upgrade. We've both also done the Promy quest.

Anyone plotted the best equipment to keep for "fashionable"
option? I have a hard time seeing on my screen exactly what items they are wearing.

As far as I know, they get exp as if they were fighting the mob solo. So it shouldn't matter how many of them are in a party or who is in the party with them. The only time this doesn't apply seems to be if you call them as a job where your level is lower than theirs. Then they get capped at your level but they don't seem to gain any experience at all.

added experience messages and this:

Your NPC can stay out for a certain amount of time and certain amount of mobs. After the times runs up or you kill enough mobs - your NPC dissapears.

Limits:
lv30-40 - 15 mobs/30 minutes
lv40-58 - 20 mobs/50 minutes
lv58-60 - 25 mobs/75 minutes

Please confirm it guys (especially - from which level/quest you can get 20 mobs).

I did Blighted Gloom as a level 52 Taru BLM with a level 34 NPC. Be careful, it was kinda tough. I had to manafont to be able to kill it (stupid interruptions). I was down to 7 hp cause it used an AoE that hit me for 250 damage.

Also, in Jugner after the Tomb, make sure you click the right ??? or you may be fighting 2 high level undead quest NMs :). The first ??? as you exit the tomb is not the right one. The NPC quest ??? is near the lake (kinda obvious, but you could get overly excited and click the wrong one, resulting in your possible death).

5th weapon traded in.

NPC just dinged lvl 50, and I have yet to do the G1 quest.


PROMIVION DEM NOTE:

First floor ??? is in the mob cluster nearest the MR.

Second floor ??? is in the mob cluster directly West of where you pop. Very close, and VERY easy to get to.



Very easy to do DUO as long as one person is able to lay out some cures when needed.

2000 XP Obtained.

Will attempt the 3rd floor next week.

Mine stayed for 20 mobs/50 minutes as soon as I got the first headgear option. I don't believe I was level 40 yet.

so, has anyone used the new Battle Styles? I snagged a T.M. Fortitude since I figured everyone whould choose Might. Oddly enough, I've found plenty of people with Endurance/Fortitude, but no Might.

But last night I went out with my NPC set to Soothing Healer, and uh... Noticed no difference. It did everything as it used to, ran out of MP at about the same time Healer style would, and didn't notice any kind of MP Regen or anything like that.

Hopefully they get more powerful the more you use it, or something along those lines... And hopefully I find that Might Manual.
