New NPC factsFollow

NPCs don't skillup at all on weapons. They have an "A" rating in all weapons and their skill is automaticlly capped the instant they level. Immediately upon hitting 49 my NPC learned Penta Thrust, Vorpal Thrust @ 55, and I expect to see some Skewer action when my NPC hits 60 tonight or tomorrow.

Ah maybe i didnt ask the question right. My NPC is currently using a Great Axe, has the final upgrade. If i change to lets say, Axe, will my NPC need to go through all the upgrades again starting from lvl 1? And will they have all the weaponskills already up to the level (atm 54)?

Oh ok, gotcha. This has actually been answered a few times on this thread.
1. No, you don't have to go through all the upgrades again. If say you've just been offered the Lv.5 upgrade, and you've been using Great Axe all this time and wish to switch to Axe, just trade the #5 Axe.

2. This answer was in my last response. NPCs will always have their skill for their weapon capped, so they will always have all the Weapon Skills available for their level.

Wrong.

You can attempt the promivion quest once per RL day, and it is reset at JP midnight.


Yup that's true. What I did wrong was go back to town rhend. point instead of going back to promy one. Thanks.


Also, got my npc to level 55. Very happy about that and he has rampage!! I'm doing my trials weapon and so I've been using him to sc with. fun thing is no matter what he does I can get a level 2 sc with him by using true strike.

I haven't gotten the 60 cap quest yet of 5 upgrade, but I'm enjoying our time together right now.

I handed in an Uchigatana for my first upgrade and was then offered the second upgrade. I couldn't find a Nodachi, so remembering your post I grabbed a cheap Spatha, the second sword upgrade, but Luto won't take it. Have I mixed something up?

i think weapon 5 is only requement for new job quest.

i hope in the future u can trade to your NPC when u bring him out , give him food. i noticed the option is there but never tryed to trade any thing.

No 5th weapon upgrade yet, no Regaining quest and no Capers quest yet.

I'm at level 55 capped.

I had my npc use a greataxe from the #1-4 upgrades. but for the 5th upgrade, the twicer, which requires metal purification, i gave her a h2h weapon instead because no NA smithers on our server have that guild item.
I noticed a significant drop in both damage and accuracy. She can't hit hardly anything now, and when she does its for very little damage. leads me to believe that consistantly tradeing the same weapon does have a bonus.

Edited in light of others post's I was wrong about the info I put up.

The signal pearl has always been a 20 hour recast, even before the new added quests.

I don't know if somebody said that before but... Regaining Trust isnt a Pre-req for Chameleon's quest. My npc is 45 and I got it today. That quest is only about affinity (I have 5th upgrade too).
