    Re: NPC WOTG Access, Limit Break and new "Fellow Point" system

    I went BLU/NIN & my NPC was using sword & shield. She cast ninjutsu & the occasional white magic. Her 2 hr. was Invincible. It was a really easy fight for BLU, multi-hit spells took big chunks of HP from the NPC. From start to end, took a few minutes. My NPC was set to Soothing Healer.

    Re: NPC WOTG Access, Limit Break and new "Fellow Point" system

    In the NPC BC, the NPC has a hard defensive cap; it won't take more than 200 damage from any one hit. For example (as 75RNG/NIN with HF+1 vs. NPC NIN/BLM):

    normal /ra for 199 damage
    slug for 183 damage
    Barrage for 1150 damage
    EES for 192 damage

    This pretty much screws RNG and BLM.

    Luckily, NPC's resistance to bolts is pretty weak; after 3 deaths trying to make gun work, I broke out O-bow and was getting 120+60 add effect on holy bolts and 75+60 drain on bloodies. Instead of wasting TP on slug, I just Rampaged him for ~500 when I got TP. Easy win.

    Forgive my ignorance, but does the 'Glamorize equipment' option and such allow you to progress your npc's appearance with the normal armour that's upgraded by levelling in certain regions, or new equipment altogether? Sorry for the long winded question too ;x

    Yes, each time you use glamorize, you advance her gear to the next option. I used 32k moving her up to the body piece I wanted before I saw the "Increase time" option. Oh well, I'll have enough points again soon enough, gonna limit break her and then go farming in the past. I did not advance past the body I wanted on her, so I do not know what, if any, new body pieces they added past lvl10.

    Also, i believe the number of points you have is from how often you used him/her since last update when they changed the armor progression. I have used her frequently and had 36k points when I unlocked them.

    Sorry, I should have been more clear

    Each time you use glamorize, you can advance 1 piece one level. So I used it 4x and advanced just her body piece 4x to what I wanted, then locked it. It does not advance all pieces a level, just one piece. I also believe I saw the option to change the path they are on, so if you are doing sandy and want the bastok armor, you can change it.

    And I don't think it matters what you set your npc as, it will just adapt to your job. When I did it on SMN she had a crab but when I went back to fight her on MNK she was a PLD again.
    Mine used Blessed Radiance around 25%.

    He used it three damn times back to back to back for 558 damage each.

    I did notice the npc was talking different in one CS so i am 'interested' in these new personalities.

    also, when you summon your npc in town and check the battle menu, they ask if they can use aoe WS. I hadn't seen that before.

    lastly, i took my npc to cassie and i was on brd. i noticed my songs were hitting my npc as well as the pt. fk pwn awesome.

Thevsame thing happened to BST pets. Dances were able to work on them and the BSTs finally rejoiced as they realized SE doesn't hate them and has thrown them a bone. :)

    .. One emergency update later, they "fixed" an issue where dances effected BST pets. Wanna hear the kicker? Afterwards, they apologised for the inconvience.

    I'll just go on SMN, probably, and hope I don't get the BST version.

    The BST is probably one of the easier ones, I think. Throw an avatar at the crab, then at your NPC. The crab doesn't have amazing accuracy like the NPC, and the NPC is more interested in doing shitty nukes than it is hurting people.

    Re: NPC WOTG Access, Limit Break and new "Fellow Point" system

    OK, after reading this, I am going to conjecture that your NPC's job in the BC is based off of yours. Atum went is as BLU/NIN, Zayag was a PLD/NIN. (He tried to shield bash me, he learned that headbutt is better.) Septimus went is as WAR/NIN, Zoldof appeared to be NIN/BLM. (He tried to nuke me, and he did use sleepga.)

    Pet jobs seem to get BST NPCs, THF and RDM seem to get the fresh hell of RDM NPCs.

    Very interesting. I do approve of all of these new changes.

    Okay any idea what 'Glamorizing' an NPC does?

    This tangent is about 3 months too late to be interesting, but...

    In the March update, fellows (read: not pets) were adjusted so that they could benefit from party-only buffs (including rolls and songs). This update had the unintended side effect of allowing pets to benefit from dances; this was later corrected.

    Re: NPC WOTG Access, Limit Break and new "Fellow Point" system

    Went around killing level 36-38 Weapons in Rollanberry Fields with my level 63 NPC and got 0 Fellow Points for the full run. So it looks like either you or your NPC need to receive exp or you don't get any Fellow Points. Going to try leveling a low level job with the NPC out and see if I get any points from that. If it turns out your NPC needs to recieve exp to get Fellow Points this is a giant slap in the face for all of us that leveled them early.

    Just did the BC fight as Nin/Rdm, it was unbelievably easy.

    My NPC was set on Soothing healer; when I was fighting her, she was dual wielding 2 perdu katanas(same skin as them anyways) and spammed Ninjutsu and Aero. Didn't hit me once, and her Blade: Rin missed. Although she did Mijin Gakure, and it took me down to ~400/1100 hp with Stoneskin up. Took about 2min to kill her, but unfortunately the record was 1min 13sec or something =( .


    Question! Anyone know what the Metamorphose Balsam and Perfume are for? I bought them both with Fellow Points and well... I can't use them with/without my NPC out, can't trade them to NPC either(granted I only tried to trade in Promy this morning getting my Tactics).

    Sadly summoner buffs do not work on them.
