Time that the NPC stays out:
My npc was level 53 and staying out just over 60 minutes (65).
Hit 54 today and it did not increase.
Time out is based on affinity. My NPC is 55 and stays out for 75 minutes (an hour and 15 minutes).

Promy quest:
If you fail at the Promy quest, you have to wait until the next tally (Sunday) to get the quest again from your NPC. Think about this before you try to run up to the 2nd or third floors trying to get your npc more exp.
You can attempt it once a day after midnight JP time; however, once you complete it you can only do it once a conquest tally.

Armor changes:
The armor on my NPC keeps changing even though I have leveled him in the same place and the same nation is controling it.
In addition I have been seeing completely new armor. Sorry I can't name them cause I'm not good with melee armor recognition.
The armor your NPC is using depends on where they are leveling at and what nation does control it. For instance, if you level in a place controlled by windurst... your NPC tends to have armor that is made of cloth and bone. If it's controlled by bastok, it will have armor made from smithing and goldsmithing. If it's controlled by Sandy, it will have armor made from smithing and leathercrafting.

The healer is very weak.
Example: I went to level in Garliage Citadel, my npc level 52 attacker, my friends level 41 healer. BOOM! healer dies first fight. My friend completed the promy quest and so called him out again during the next fight and BOOM! the healer dies again, my friend leaves all pissed.
The level difference should explain this. My NPC is a soothing healer and takes no more damage than a mage her level would.
Quote:
My other friend has been leveling her Attacker NPC who is level 34 with me fighting the same mobs. Neither one of our npc's died.
His NPC probably never had the chance to pull the kind of aggro a level 52 attacker would.

I just want to add that as a level 75 blm, I was able to keep all the hate in the party (pulled with blizzard3), so the healer must have died from the mobs aoe.
This is the most likely answer, which is why I don't fight mobs that use an AoE. :P
