I'm still unclear about the entire downgrading equipment thing. The second trip with both our Mithra, my wife and I had our NPCs decked out in Mythril armor. Our last outing, which would be the fifth one, hers was in her starting gear (healer class, if it makes a difference) and mine (attacker class) was back in scale armor.
The first time, I accidentally dismissed mine, but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on the course of things. They haven't died, and neither have we. So far, we've leveled them in Rolanberry, Valkurm, Bibiki Bay (twice) and Yuhtunga, acquiring a total of two levels each. Any ideas?
Oh, and ours seem to be asfixiated on Flat Blade... Definitely switching to something else. x.x
