My bad. Corrected.

[Detrox]

throw in "Claymore" as first round great sword

second round im fairly sure is two handed sword, but i still cant get that option although ive called my npc like 17 times.

[~Saige~]

Im lvling mine as a WHM i used Lauan shield for first upgrade but anyone know the 2cd? i tried a maple but it didnt work
Everyone talks about weapon upgrades! what about the shields!:satisfied

[Lokyar]

Claymore added. Luaun Shield(and shield section) added. I didnt know when I made this thread that the shield could be upgraded, since I went straight to Great Katana. Good to know though. As for the theoretical 2H Sword upgrade(and others mentioned), I need it confirmed before I add it to the list. Thanks for everyone's help, most of my friends have given up with thier NPC due to its short usage time and long recast so I cant get much useful information out of them.

P.S. Some related news. I called my NPC today and noticed a new option "Lets talk about appearance." I saw hoping I would finally have some control over the erratic armor swapping. Nope. She now has a crappy grey cap on. We'll have to see if it upgrades like the armor or the weapons.

P.P.S. Has anyone noticed thier NPC staying out longer? Mine has always stayed for 45 minutes or until a weapon/wight/banshee/doom of some other sort descends upon me, but today she stayed for 55 minutes before leaving.

Bah! i gave my NPC a bronze hammer (I want a whm) and it accpeted but for my 2cd hammer i gave a brass and nothing! whats the 2cd club you give!? and the 2cd shield! sigh...

Edit: Just tried a war hammer to and that didnt work either.

My NPC is lvl 34 Healer type with hammer.

when do u know that u can give new weapons to ur npc?

[Inariya]

katana first weapon: Kunai

katana second weapon: Wakizashi

i originally started out with dagger... but... i couldn't figure out the upgrade from the first (and now i have like 10 different daggers i'm trying to sell off still)

[Lokyar]

Which dagger did you trade and which have you tried unsuccesfully?

[Aethia]

I think that Luto only takes weapons with no stats, just dmg and delay #. I got the choice for 2nd upgrade (NPC lv32), but theres no 2 handed sword (GS) on AH. ~.~

[tom7444]

do weapon / shield upgrades even matter?

i started with G.axe then upgraded to the 2nd G.axe, then went to sword, and finnaly to 1h axe, but overall my npc's dmg seems to be fairly consistant no matter the weapon

also is the shield only for looks? or the 1 def or do the npc's get Shield Bash?

[Detrox]

Confirmed today that 2 handed sword is the great sword's first upgrade ^^.

[motoh]

Second Shield: Shell Shield
First 1H sword: xiphos
Second 1H sword: bronze sword.

[Markiskyler]

Just to let everyone know if you want to give your NPC a Club weapon for the first time. It is not Bronze Hammer as everyone has been saying, it is Bronze Mace . Luto will not accept the hammer but will take Mace. Not sure on the 2nd upgrade for it yet.

[Skeiron]

Has anyone gotten a third upgrade? My NPC is level 44 and still only on second upgrade. Also has anyone gotten the communications option for your npc to talk more during battle? (Discovered this in the .dat files).

[hellstorm]

butterfly axe -> great axe
is the upgrade for great axe

[Kian]

GTK thing confirmed- First time I was asked to give a weapon I gave an Uchigatana. Second time I was asked to give a weapon I traded a Tachi and it was accepted.

I think it might have something to do with the type of katana...Uchigatana is a Sam/Nin type, while Tachi is a Sam only type. So maybe it takes the NPCs more skill or something to handle a Tachi...or maybe it's just to confirm the type of weapon path you're choosing...I don't know lol.

[Blood Red Poet]

My SAM NPC WSes twice in 8 seconds(once before me, I went too late, and he went again)... I think they gain the ability to meditate.

[laretheo]

i'm lost about this hole topic lol my npc is 33 and she is fighter type does the weapon choice choose what type of weapon type they are

and can you give them a bow?

[Monkari]

My NPC is lvl 46 with a GKT, and I've yet to see it do anything close to a meditate. I do level it on stuff that would be IT to it so its accuracy isn't THAT high, and it takes forever to get TP. However, I'm more disappointed by the fact that I still have no new options... no new info from Luto either ;;
