Forum announcement today that Adventuring Fellows are getting buffed!  Soloers rejoice!

Adventuring Fellows are basically pets you can summon to fight alongside you, heal you, make skillchains with you, etc. for a given amount of time, until you kill a given number of mobs, or they die.  You summon them with an item with a 20 hour cooldown, but once a week you can do a five-minute quest to get a supplementary summoning item with 5 charges and a CD of only 10 minutes.  They take 30% of your XP for the privilege, but level up on their own and gain XP as if they'd killed the target alone. 

The current level cap for Fellows is 70; the next update is bumping that to 85, doubling the amount of time they can stay out, and tripling the number of mobs they can kill before they leave.  This is huge for Magians stuff, if that weren't obvious, but moreover it basically means in practice that your Fellow is now a permanent fixture while you solo unless you die or warp a lot.

Things keep looking up for soloers!

I'm level 28 now and things are starting to really slow down. That's the way it goes, I suppose. The new changes to the Fellows should help a bit, though.

Viewed as a piece of gear, it's easily the most powerful in the game.  They liked the idea so much they expanded on it in ToAU, resulting in Puppetmasters.

I'm really trying to fight my will to return, how easy is it to start as a red mage. I lost my play online account and there is no way to retrieve it or so I'm told so I Cannot access my old monk.

Roadmap for the next year announced; level 95 in August, no new expansion, questionable whether new story content will be released ("The Last Stand"?).


So yeah, no rush, dudes.  The Voidwatch announcement had a screenshot of guys fighting Gilgamesh, though <3
