Ok, my NPC is a 39 healer, and i thought that she would lose her weapon, but i guess i was dead wrong. They get spells as they lvl, she used to cast only Protect and Shell and dia and parlyze slow, but now she has Protect/shell 2 and dia 2 which is really nice.

HEALERS ONLY HEAL WHEN UR HP IS BELOW 50% (i have been farming since she was 35 and thats when i notice her use Cure 3) Also, they get off a good 3 cure 3's and a few enfeebles before they send you the low mp notification.(NPC is elvaan, so if its taru should be more) If the npc does not use an enfeebles afterwards, they can still cast one more cure3 before they are totally out. So take notice of this, they arent OUT of mp, just below 25% i believe. My npc carries the Brass Zhagnal, however because she's a healer, she rarely uses a WS (never lets me know but w/e, i like the cures) I have seen slice dark harvest and one other one, im not familiar w/ scythes tho so i forget what the other one was. The next update apparently on POL website will include new stuff for NPC including a "G1". For the appearance upgrade i got a cruddy Brass Cap, makes her look stupid (tried changing several times, only one she gets).

[Chops]

has anyone tried brd stuff? flutes or harps?

[Iniin]

i would think it dont work... that would be like trying to give her a bow

[Detrox]

your npc dies when you die, so no raise isnt possible.

10 / 10 Update: http://www.playonline.com/pcd/update/ff11u...BV1/detail.html

The following changes have been made to the Fellowship (NPC called with a signal pearl) system:


-Several quests that raise the level limit, etc. of your adventuring fellow have been added.
-The variety of weapons and armor available to your adventuring fellow has been expanded.
-The behavior of adventuring fellows has been adjusted.
-More options have been added to the Rendezvous Point menu.
-The items, and order of items, required to change the weapon wielded by your adventuring fellow have been changed as follows:
Xiphos -> Bronze Sword
Bronze ->Sword à Xiphos
Tachi -> Nodachi
-New adventuring fellow combat styles have become available.
-Your adventuring fellow will now have an HP bar displayed when called into the field.
-The areas where an adventuring fellow can be called have been expanded.
-An action command window is now available when targeting your adventuring fellow. The menu contains the following options:
Talk
Magic
Abilities
Items
Trade
Disband

Looks really cool now

[Detrox]

Ability command ftw.

[Goku]

New command abilities sucks. What have been really added are: Talk (useless sentence) and Disband (usefull so now you don't depop your NPC by mistake)

Im told you can play with your NPC in some Dunjeon. People who thought NPC were useless will maybe see them usefull since you can call them in Garlaigue Citadelle, Crawler Nest (didn't tried myself).

And does anyone have any information about the New quest where you have to go to windurst to find a book? Didn't look it up now.

[Barius]

You can trade with your NPC directly now. Has anyone tested this? I'd like to know what can be traded before I go off buying 500 pieces of armor. xD

The menu at the R. point is more complex now. I assume that after you trade it a piece of armor you can pick it from the menu? I don't know, but I can pick a Seer's crown in the Headgear menu. >_>

[Goku]

o.o more complex? Did I miss something? My menu is more or less the same...

[Lordwafik]

I lvl'd my NPC in Eldieme yesterday, and Labrynth of Onzozo today.

[Demetrius*]

Heavy Axe
Moth Axe
Huge Moth Axe
Centurion's Axe
Voulge
Raifu
Platoon Cutter

these weapons do NOT work for the greataxe 3rd upgrade.

anyone have any thoughts on what to try next? I don't believe any of the weapons used thus far have had any +stats on them for any of the weapon upgrades. a running trend maybe?

[Tythera]

I'm in the same boat Demetrius, I've tried all those as well as a Military Axe. I'm trying to see if someone I know has a Neckchopper so I can try trading that. If it's not a Neckchopper I'm about out of ideas.

Edit: I tried a neckchopper and that didn't work either. I seriously have no idea which.

Edit2: I'm starting to think the greataxe is bugged or something. I even tried downgrades of the gaxe and she still didn't take anything. I'm thinking of maybe having a Kheten made but that seems awfully high and its a huge loss to make.

[tufrabza]

callable in crawlers nest, and sea serpant grotto, also by talking to my npc about quest she told me she has an important mission in the empy and that if i go she will join me, i got a party during this, so i havent been to any prommy yet to see if anything special happens, ill update it later (level 38)

I had a kheten crafted, and no that doesn't work either
Leucos Voulge does not work as well
what the hell....

[Motarrisu]

Has anyone tried throwing out their tactics pearl to see if their npc would give them a new full one?

[Tythera]

If someone wants to translate this it has the full third upgrade for each weapon:

Demetrius: Someone said that had said the Greataxe listed on there was the Hydro Axe, and she did indeed take it from me today.
