I know there are still a lot of people who haven't done this quest, for you people maybe this thread will make you think twice about it and go get it done...




I got my NPC after waiting in line for about 4 hours in ghelsba, I tried it out a bit in gustaberg but it disappeared after 5 minutes and i was kinda "bleh" about it. But I noticed my NPC was now wearing Lizard armor which felt kinda cool.

Next two days I tried the same thing, hoping I could make it level and/or lengthen the time the NPC will stay around to help you. It didn't really work so well but i got a little exp so meh. The whole disappearing after 15 mobs was a big deal at level 5. But my NPC had upgraded to even better armor and that was still as cool as it was before.

At the Rondevouz Point I went to talk to my NPC and noticed it now gave me to option to talk about jobs. I excitedly switched to Healer and then realised I gotta wait til tomorrow to use my pearl again, bleh.

Well today I decided I wanted to cap all my combat skills so i could have a pretty blue window. I needed to cap axe so i jumped onto 37 WAR/NIN and grabed 2 axes and was about to go outside. I thought, hey, this would be an awesome chance to really use/level my NPC.

So I went outside, buffed with Utsusemi and a leftover Tavnazian Taco, and used my pearl to call Nanako. Within 5 seconds of being summoned, Nanako cast Protect II on me, that was pretty cool already.

So normally when just skilling up I'd stick to EPs, but knowing I had help and there was also going to be a restriction on how many mobs i could kill, i went to find a low DC. I engaged the mob (it was a Goobbue) and got to work. First thing Nanako did before engaging was cast Dia on the mob, neat.

Few swings into the fight later (my axe is really badly underlevelled, so this fight was taking a while) Nanako started to cast a few more spells. First she casted Slow (Woah) then followed shortly afterwards Paralyze (Awesome!) both of which stuck fine even though she was 7 levels below me.

A popular hobby for Goobbues is to use Uppercut/Beatdown right when you lose your shadows. This one did and I got hit for a hefty 250 damage. Few seconds after that Nanako cast Cure III on me pretty much healing me back up. Now considering I wasn't really enjoying my NPC much before, things were certainly looking up.

I got another battle in before she gave me a warning that she was low on MP. I can't really see how much MP she has, so I figured I'd just rest a minute and hope it fills her up. A little while later she told me her MP was full and she was ready to go, handy. As I stood back up she cast Stoneskin and Blink on herself too, nifty.

Next I pulled a Quadav, which just happened to be an RDM type. My shadows got eaten fast by Diaga, and the Quadav managed to cast Paralyze on me, bummer. But once again my NPC truely amazed me when it cast Paralyna on me about 5 seconds later and removed it! That's when I really fell in love with it, lol.

The NPC started out looking worthless and a waste of time after waiting in all those lines but SE actually managed to pull something decent off. I was really impressed with this "Healer" type NPC, from removing poisonga from me, followed by themselves, to casting Protect/Shell buffs on both of us. All at the same time they were still using Red Lotus Blade and Fast Blade, and at one point we even did Fusion SC.

Bravo.





I'm interested in hearing how "Attacker" NPC is, I could check myself but I'm liking Healer NPC way too much. I've been given the option to switch the weapon my NPC uses now, I've not decided which I want them to use yet. I mean Great Axe would be fun (yes, she's allowed to use Great Axe even though she's a healer) but they're not gonna get many swings in while they're casting magic, lol.

My NPC (on kio) is now a attacker, but i havent had time to test her out.
Indeed this thing is realy neat, and i think it might work in a exp party.

Does the healer still only last for 15 mobs?

I've got mine set as healer now too. I would like to know what attacker mode does though. She is lvl 32 now, should get 33 today i think. I've only been able to make her cure me once (cure 3 when i got down to about 60%) and other that that my HP hasn't gone low enough for her to care lol. I've seen her cast paralyze, slow, dia, silence, protect 2, shell, paralyna, blindna, cursna, Blink, aquaveil, cure 3, and i think that's it so far.

I don't have any jobs around lvl 30 so i've just been power-leveling her on higher lvl stuff >.>

She had upgraded to almost full RSE stuff, but now she's wearing that orange chocobo rider jack coat or whatever it's called.

_________________

been lvling syns npc, got her out only 3 times, already lvl 31

Did it on syns 75 whm, went to ulg. range and kill easy prey stuff (Tigers, Saplings, Buffaros) with hccmike on mnk (So basically 2 75 in pt + the npc)

Tommorrow gonna try fighting decent. But I heard whatever you fight that exceeds the npc's lvl, she always gets 200exp anyways so.

(I also tried lvling hccmike's npc in battalia on tigers weapons, havn't lvled yet so seem like its better to fight things that are probably con IT's to the NPC's lvl)

I just got mine yesterday and leveled her up to 31. She was wearing scale gear, then a doublet with some plate armor, then back to scale with trader's gear >.>. I took her out exp'ing twice, and I can't wait till I can change her fighting style to "Healer." I bought a Polearm to give to her, but after reading Ket's post, she probably won't get in many swings while healing ><;. Maybe I'll just have her stick to sword. Fast and Red Lotus Blades are decent =P

Tonight when my 20hr thing wears off, I hope I can level her up again :D

Ket FYI ****
Shield type - resist sleep, undead killer
Once PC start attack, it will use Provoke every 30 sec
it will behave a bit different when HP turn yellow but I am not sure what that is...

Attack type - double attack and counter
if PC report TP for 50-99% the NPC will wait until 100%for you, other cases it will just WS sololy

Healer type -
non-combat period: PT member protect+shell, blink,etc on itself
if HP is down to a certain lv it will cast Cure
combat period: use weapon as well as using cure and dia para, etc spell... unfortunately it will use silence even on mob who has no spell...
