Yeah, sometimes. The loot disappears after a while, so during some long battles I might grab stuff while I can.
I used an elixir to set him to challenger now, hope he won't derp again.

Make sure you aren't using any of the commands like "Go" or "Help", constantly using them can change your Pawn's Inclinations as well, and like mentioned - doing things like picking items up off the floor can have your Pawn catch on to that.

Hmm, having pawn picking up consumables while you farm Daimon might be nice actually.

Not to be that guy but,
how much will a decent gaming PC/rig run me for this game?
all depends on how well you want to run it
my current rig gives me a smooth as butter 30+ FPS and i'm content with that becasue it's so smooth. what i do need is either faster VRAM or a better CPU as it's about 3 years old now. being an open world game, you would need a pretty good CPU to help with framerate i think
Nope, not true, I got plenty of player pawns results when searching for lvl infinity.
Then again, friends list

Try searching pawns by level 200. It'll yield only offline pawns.
Capcom really needs to expand the friends list past 22.
Starting to wish I hadn't gone Sorc with my pawn. Hardly anyone seems to be renting and by now it's too late to switch it to something else without sucking at it.
What are people looking for in a sorc pawn? Could use some pointers on a good setup, I've just started BBI and haven't had any trouble so far I don't really know what people would be looking for.
Currently:
LV163 Sorc Challenger/Utilitarian/Mitigator
H. Ingle / H. Gicel / H. Maelstrom
H. Voidspell / Holy Affinity / Ice Affinity

For Sorcerers, I look for:
Challenger/Utilitarian
High Fulmination / High Gicel / High Comestion
High Miasma / High Brontide / High Lassitude
Articulacy
Conservation
Acuity
Attunement
Gravitas
Toxicity / Bloodlust
Pawns who also have Rarifed equipment with some fashion sense =p
Not gonna rent out anyone who has ugly looking armor and un-upgraded weapons, also someone who is short as hell bugs me.

Uh yeah... I mention that in the OT myself in that FAQ I wrote.
I didn't know about the Acquisitor thing appearing because I loot shit, though. That's just dumb.
To be honest I don't mind Acquisitor pawns at all. I don't need pawn helps that badly in battle and don't mind if they pick up stuff while I focus on fighting and it saves me the trouble of transferring weight to them. But I didn't want my pawn to be Acquisitor because I know most people don't like that and might not hire him.

i dont hire male pawns, i can attest to this.
EDIT:
Holy crap, my charge skill on my warrior was stuck not activing, just charging. letting go of bumper on 360 controller didnt work, it just kept charging until i canceled the attack with a jump or something. i tried switcing the m&kb and it also would not activate skill, just charge it. i tried closing the game and restarting. nope.
finally i read online that changing the m&kb default buttons for attack would. it fixed it. that was scary.

Found Dirge. Looks like you gave her Great Gamble? With just 3000 odd Stamina, it's better if she just had Tenfold.
You planning on sticking with Great Gamble?

I'm not willing to sell out that far.
Remember: underboob or bust.
Pun intended.
Underboob is helpful, but can't usually function in a vacuum - pairing it with a tastefully revealing skirt can also help in completing a pawn's air of subtle, understated allure.

I'm testing out Great Gamble. Damage isn't that great. She can take half a bar off death.................Screw it. I just removed GG.
I'm renting a pawn that has master rings with perfect rolls. +100 Strength and +500 Stamina. She has two of them. The owner has 84 hours played as a mystic knight. I don't know how he can get two rings with the absolute maximum for those stats. I gotten master rings where one stat is maximum, but never seen two. The only exception is the ring from the Trappings of Evil quest. I'm thinking, this guy hexedit his pawn data. Owner's name is Arizen, pawn's name is Luna, level 200 ranger with Hundred Kisses, Tenfold and Great Gamble.

It's pretty easy to edit that stuff. Best ring I've gotten in that area is a +84 Str + 450 Stamina.
Exentryk
Member
Cool. I'll re-rent your pawn then.
And Luna is my pawn. She has 5000 Stamina (+1000 from Master Rings), more than 700 Atk and loves to Great Gamble, Tenfold and Hundred Kisses. I think Dirge and Luna will work well together. My last Pawn in Alita which is a Strider that uses Rusted Bow. Torpor and Poison on enemies all day long. Great team in the making!

How long did it take you to get those rings? If I had those, I would run Great Gamble too. With 4k stamina, you can easier take more than a bar off Daimon's awakened form.
I just hired your pawn Luna and another Utilitarian pawn. Ran into some Garms. Both our pawns started attacking in unison one after another with their auto attacks. They chunked that garm really quick. Your Luna loves to Great Gamble a lot.

20 secs. I just edited the values. I am yet to go to BBI again since I made the changes. I am planning on building my perfect team first.
And it's probably best to only have one GG in your team. One Ranger can DPS with Tenfold, while the other can GG, and occasionally Tenfold. It's gives good balance.
Hah, nice to hear. I just hired yours. Going to stroll around Gransys first and see how the team performs.

Is this the same Alita that is on the top ranked list? A strider with a rusted bow and sapfires? Debilitations all day with that setup.
Exentryk
Member
That's the one. I've asked the owner to change her to Util/Scather. He said she usually is Util primary, but Scather took over recently. Once she changes, it will be perfect.
E: Here are our pawns taking care of a Gore Chimera by themselves:

I had this issue too. I was getting frequent rents until about level 130 or something and then nothing.
Honestly, that looks like a decent setup to me (and is actually almost the exact same setup as mine was) and wouldn't mind renting that pawn (though imo I would prefer Lightning Affinity over Ice since more things are weak to Lightning including the more annoying things like Garms and Elder Ogres). Or you could drop Ice/Lightning Affinity and go with High Fulmination which is a pretty deadly lightning attack.
Holy and Lightning are imo the best elements to use in BBI, but Gicel is great to use against a couple of holy resistant enemies (banshees, strigoi)..

My Warrior Pawn gets rented out quite a bit each day, averaging 150,000 RC. And he has a squeaky voice for a Warrior, lol. He's at level 135 at the moment and still getting rentals, I'm actually surprised by that.
If you enjoy playing as them, there's nothing stopping you from trying them all out - there's not really that much of a benefit to staying within a vocation line in terms of levelling when so much of your stats are dictated by equipment in practice, especially with BBI gear. Similarly, you shouldn't feel pressured to play as vocations you don't find fun because you need a specific augment or need to level up a certain stat, though some augments still might be worth cheesing through vocation ranks for; given how useful they are regardless of your setup.
Just play what you want. Don't worry about leveling for stats. You only really need to rank up vocations if you want certain augments. For example, I would personally never play a warrior, but their rank 9 augment Clout is great for anyone who does physical damage.
However, you don't really need to worry about ranking up vocations until post-game when a really easy way to grind DP opens up (right after the very first post-game mission).

the torpor effect induced by the upgraded rusted weapons makes the game reeeeeeealllly easier
MagicWithEarvin

I rented out a Strider Pawn that had Hailstorm Volley and a gold rarefied Rusted Bow... my goodness that Pawn was deadly accurate with the Volley and knew exactly when to use it. Still in my party even though its level is still 100 (I'm 135).
Wait, rusted weapons are good?
RyanardoDaVinci
Member
If you upgrade/dragonforge/rarify them, their damage is weak but they can inflict Silence and Torpor (which slows enemies to a crawl). And Poison too, I think.
zerokoolpsx
Member
Once a rusted bow is 3 star or higher, it has a chance to add poison or torpor or both to the enemy. Upgrading it higher increases the chance of it applying. Its great for multi-hitting skills like Cloudburst/Hailstorm Volley, Spiral/Corkscrew Arrow and Tenfold Flurry.
Well, you can change weapons during a fight, so nothing stops you to cause the negative status in the enemy and after that change to your weapon of choice.

It's gold weapons that inflict silence. Almost feels unfair using one on a Frostwyrm, but then I remember the beatings I've taken from them in the past.
RyanardoDaVinci
Member
That's right.
And the Black weapons douse enemies in oil so they're easier to burn.
Cosmic Schwung

Yeah, it's a good idea to carry some of those upgraded dlc weapons about in your backpack to pull out against specific enemies. Some of the harder enemies suddenly become very easy if you afflict it with the right ailment.
3 Star+ Rusted Weapons are definitely worth keeping around since you can change equipment at any time. Torpor works on like 90% of the enemies in the game too (iirc it doesn't work on Griffins, either type of Golems, Daimon, The Dragon, or the Ur-Dragon). However, rusted weapons can trivialize anything else (so useful against dragonkin).
Equip a rusted weapon, inflict Torpor (more hits = more chances to inflict it), switch to a stronger weapon (and switch back to the rusted one as needed) and annihilate your foes.

The one I met at around level 35 gave me such a kicking that I didn't go back until I was around 60.
I've been playing this game with all the graphics settings set to low but the framerate still frequently dips to around 20fps. Is there anything else I can do to improve the framerate or will I just have to deal with it? I'm using a laptop with an AMD APU which I'm guessing this game isn't optimized for.
What happens when a pawn dies and you can not recover the body in time or whatever? And what happens to the stuff it is carrying as a pack horse?

Items go into your storage. They get sent back with 3-star rating and no item or comment. They keep RC and enemy info learned.
You feel bad at first and then stop caring after the 10th time it happens.
