How has your experience leveling up Companions been so far? Full Companions Guide Is HERE: www.hacktheminotaur.com/eso-guides/eso-companions-guide
Quite nice up to the point when Mirri lost Gear worth 300k+ Gold i bought for her yesterday.
They say they fixed that as of today - but iI think my Stuff / the Gold will be lost forever. Don't expect to much to come after I opened a ticket...
Blockade of Frost doesn't protect the Companion. defect??
@Nabil Al-bataa : ring of preservation does supply the companion with a Stam recovery. right?
I have Xbox the new chapter hasn’t come out. yet but I actually have a question about lvling last week my lvl was 50. the next day when I logged in I was at champ 850. This is my second main character. My main is at 840 is this a new thing? I can’t get any answers while it’s a good, thing it’s weird how it happened.
@@DovahHouse CP is 'account' wide. if you have 123 CP and create a new level 1 toon, that toon will have 123 CP . i use PC, but I don't think the platform makes a difference. That kind of platform difference would totally unbalance the game.
I like that companions take more time to level with low level characters. Feels more like they are leveling WITH you as you grow as a player character and adventurer. But when you are already CP or max level, your companion catches up super fast without the need for a really long grind or player journey because you are already a total boss by that point. Cool system imo.
I both like and dislike it... mostly dislike cause even at max level they really dont deal any more damage if at all and their scaling with gear is terrible as well so why should it be such a grind for a minute increase? to me the whole system feels just like a gimmick with the low terrible drop rates for companion gear, not being able to upgrade said gear and ultimately a best in slot companion will deal a whopping 2k more damage, not worth grinding literal eeons to level them up and then more eons to get best in slot gear.
Guys I took Mirri to Dragonstar arena once and she leveled up FIVE TIMES
She went from 3 to 8!! So I highly suggest running the whole thing with her
Good tip!
Going to take her to maelstrom arena if I can and see what happens
@@skylarf9021 you can't bring companions to solo arenas
@@skylarf9021 I’m assuming it didn’t work lol
Thanks for the knowledge I took bastion there and finished him off now taking the others
btw - Companions have breathed new life into my ESO experiences - (played from the original public beta) -- The last time I talked to an Armorer was years ago. :-)
Just got into companions yesterday. Just some thoughts on it as I like experiencing things cold and the only thing I knew ahead of time was the location of the companions in Blackwood.
1. Blackwood was an extremely unstable zone for me. I kept getting kicked from server every 15 minutes or so. This was so annoying I only unlocked one companion and bailed to another zone.
2. You do have to wear 5 pieces of the same armor to unlock it. It will now tell you this in the companion menu when you are sorting gear.
3. I went to town and purchased weapons and armor for my companion as soon as it was unlocked. Armor runs 250 gold an item. Weapon I believe was 500.
4. Leveling - everything the OP says is on the money. I just took my level 50 plus with companion to a starter zone and went to a town with a high enemy human population and went to town.
5. Gear - I found this to be a pretty rare drop. I was getting more blue level items for my main than I was getting higher level companion gear. I got one green heavy armor piece after a 30 minute grind.
5. Jewelry - not sure where to get this for the companion yet. I'm assuming it is only drop items. May need to be in Blackwood to acquire.
I think the Companions where good a decision for Eso they do help out more then I expected lol.
@@windandcloudshadow158 : it would be nice to have our own toons as companions -- teams of 4 for dungeons and such.
btw- Blackwood is so beautiful. i recall sitting in Skyrim on a mountain top waiting for the sunrise -- Blackwood's like that.
@@mikeCavalle Talk about over powered XD but yea it would be cool.
4 more days and I can begin this grind
r u suspended too?
@@pleb9619 I'm on my gap year between courses atm, so I've had nothing else to do tbh
Good show Hack and thanks. Anything that cuts the grind down down will do me. Now for the gear grind, that is turning out to be a real pain in the backside.
i'm so glad i watched this. I was using the same mindset as you by trying to level my new toon with my companion! Thanks for the tips man, you're a real peach :D
The upside to having to wait an extra week for console release! Very informative! Thanks!
I have both of them, but only using Mirri and I like her. Your guides are a big help.
Great info! Loving having Mirri at my side.. Isobel not so
much… I keep forgetting to tell her not to look when I steal things.. 😜
very informative and well researched. thank you for quality content.
I just discovered the Ashlander relic dailies in Vvardenfell and in just a little over a week I've nearly maxed out Mirri's rapport. Already done 2 of her extra personal quests and have her in my home. They are one of the best ways to level up her rapport in my opinion.
Guild Dailies may only affect the companion currently equipped. I know for sure they unlock their skill lines separately, so you'll have to do the guild dailies once for every companion that exists, 2 for now.
Nice vid Brah, helps a bunch!
Thanks for the tips! Loving the new chapter! Really noticed companies levelling great with your grind builds, thanks so much!
This is a brilliant guide - added to much depth to how I understand the Companions! I am not sure I like that the companion is the same on every character though :O What if I wanted to have it a different way for a different character...
There will be more companions later, so we have to wait :)
A Great Informative Presentation Hack, Thank You!
I see at the start of the vid you are grinding in the werewolf zone in glenumbra (I think), I know in a vid it was suggested to grind here, but i think that if you complete the first part of the quest and go into camlorn (the city infested with werewolves), it is a far better xp grind spot, there are a few areas there you can pull 5 to 10+ werewolves at a time, and they respawn very fast
Great vid as always
Really enjoying the companions
This was very helpful. Thanks
You can also get guild dailies shared. You can only do each unique one once per character per day of course, but different players may have different dailies available and can share them with you.
Thanks for all those tips :)
I'm a week late but, Hack, you make some great vids. Keep it goin', brother.
thanks , wasnt sure why my companion wasnt gaining armour skills.👍
Great video! Any tips/tricks on how to boost rapport?
You, i love you man for all your awesome infos !
Ty for the heads up!
You can share guild dailies, too. So if you have friends playing, share em with each other for more xp.
Or use a second account to collect and share them for your main account
keep in mind, you HAVE to have your companion summoned when you turn in the quests to get the XP. so if you have 4 players, make sure you all leave group before you turn in and summon your companions
@@yicky as long as your not in a dungeon everyone can have their companions out. My friends all had ours out when grinding dolmens. They only get unsummoned when entering a dungeon.
Good stuff! Thanks!
I found that some group delves in Craglorn are probably even more effective XP-wise than dolmens; in about an hour, my Mirri got from level 11.8 to 13.2 (I was using an XP scroll though; I was turning in writs just prior to the delve run). This was all done in Ruins of Kardala; the delve is fairly small and has decent mob density. The respawns are timed about right for me to finish a round just prior to the new groups starting spawning.
That said, there are certain caveats (spelling?). Obviously, group delves are way tougher than dolmens. You also need to be in the group delve alone/just with your group, otherwise whoever else is in there is likely going to kill mobs in parts of the delve you have not yet been to. The loot is also worse, as you will be avoiding the delve's boss (the XP from it is not worth the time investment). And finally, after you are done in the delve, you will absolutely and totally HATE the place and will not want to see it at any point in the near geologic future.
Are you planning to do an updated guide considering High Isle chapter is coming out with two new companions and also are updating guild skill advancement?
I think that you should share your awesome guides with all youtube users as soon as you post it) I don’t think that your support squad will be sad about it)
Recently started this you can equip up too 8-10 gear slots with training. So 7 body peices. 2 two hand weapons (destro/resto staves) Front and back bars. Or can sword n board/ duel weild training on each weapon.
Cheapest and still effective is to go lvl 50 crafted gear in EPIC.
Heartland conquer on 2h weapons puts on about 16% xp bonus to both front and back. Or 8% if you duel weild / sword n board each hand. Your jewelry doesn't have any training traits.
Orders Wrath is my other lvl 50 crafted set on my 7 peice body.
Both work great together. Your companion will usually see about 140xp per target killed. And with a 150% scroll it's just near 300xp each.
Have not taken into account for doing dailes yet. Hope this helps.
Great video! Been grinding since it’s release on consoles and got bastion to level 11. Two things I WISH I knew when I started, I didn’t know xp scrolls increased companions xp too. And I didn’t know the shop people sold companions items. Been grinding for sword and shield. Really wish I watched this video earlier
I'm just hoping that at some point we will be able to give companions crafted items, or regular looted (perhaps ones that are bound to our character, that they can pass over to the companion)
Thanks for training trait gear tip, gonna grind CP a lot easier now.
sweet,this is what i needed
starting the clip - sure hope there's info on rapport - psijic portals really level rapport up.
Mirri loves scrying
@@skeletor196 No, Bastion loves scrying, Mirri loves excavating. Pull out Bastion when you scry then Mirri to excavate.
What was the spot shown in the video at 2:55 ? it's in Bangkorai right? sleeper grind spot but I forgot the precise name of the place
have you tried skyreach or nBRP with companion for levelling?
I took mine to Craglorn .... but so did everyone else lolzzz.
Also, I noticed I was getting alot of 'Rapport' by Scrying and crafting potions ... but it might work with any kind of crafting...?
I Didn't see this mentioned, but for the dailies, you can also have group mates, friends etc share their daily with you. This lets you complete them as many times as others share it with you. This is a fantastic way to raise it quickly.
I'm on console BUT this was very a informative heads-up for when I start!
I can confirm the slower leveling on lower-level characters. I did all 3 guild quests on a max level character and was already at lvl 4 and a half on both of them after the 3 quests each.
My lvl 33 is running Mirri. They work well together and Mirri is levelling nicely. I don't really have any wish to race through these levels so its nice they match the progressions of the companions. She's great on support and I don't feel the need right now to make her something she isnt.
For the guild dailies if you are in a group you can share them with each other :)
Can you take your companion into ndsa for power leveling there?
Still a great video. Thanks for making strong content like this.
what r some good exp farming areas to take companions to? Skyreach catacombs?
I'll have to add a little thing about levelling companion while you're levelling yourself, it's not a bad idea to do both at once, just not good if your main goal is to level the companion. But low exp gained is still exp gained. If you're levelling yourself, bring a companion with you, it's going to same some time for later, even if just a little.
I was going to say the same thing. A companion actually came in handy as starting a healing character since moves weren’t strong yet/not full bar. So I went and got Mirri for DPS help. The only thing that helped without her was all the CP points I had which was like 600. But if experience is reduced having one equipped not being level 50, now that she’s level 35 I will get rid of them for now.
However, companion gear only drops if you have one active so that makes it hard to collect stuff you want without one equipped.
Rally cry quest been my lvling area for years. Also so you don't have to abandon quest. Leave last mob run up stairs and around and start again it's much quicker
With the companions I've been using all my characters to get more daily guild quests to lvl up them
Would heartlaan conqueror set with training gear help with farming?
Yes that would be a nice bonus actually!
Is it only combat xp or will master writ xp work too?
I am hoping for more companions in the future id love a templar and Warden companion
Hey, can you fix the Ice Mage Warden Champion points? Since they slightly changed them 😅
What build is that bow using Templar? Seems interesting.
do i get companion gear if my companion is not active ?
+ we need Rapport guide now : i know Mirri hates blade of woe and she hate going to the dark brotherhood sanctuary . i guess she's a Morag tong from her personality
So far, it seems promising, but could use a little tweaking. My biggest complaint is low drop rates for equipment
You can use a second account to host different daily quests for you main account... Boss,Guild,Dungeon dailies...
Do they make effective tanks? They're ok for additional dps or heals but I wonder about their tanking ability.
He has a video on that about 10 or so videos ago (Edit) exactly 15 videos ago
So I need some help. I am completely unable to level my companion’s Guild Skill Lines. Whenever I do dailies, even with the companion out, the skill line does not unlock.
Am I doing something wrong
what fighter's guild quest are you doing hack?
thanks for early guide i cant wait console release
so the rapport system is either bugged or we were wrong to think you could level rapport across multiple toons I have her as friendly on 1 toon and unlocked her as a houseguest yet on my other toons the rapport is stuck in cordial I was doing dailies and other things Mirri likes on 4 toons yet only 1 has the friendly status
Hey Hack, thank you for the tips. After 2 nights playing with then, my companions are only level 7 :(. Now we need, as soon as possible, some tips about where and how to farm companions gear. The drop rate is terrible.
They say from dungeons I think and trials, like from the bosses
@@MrMgage13 I've found 1 from final boss at Oblivion portal and 1 at spindleclutch. And one more from one delve boss. Only this 3 in +- 8 hours. :(
@@marciosevero1925 I've killed 40 world/dungeon bosses, and have gotten maybe 6 drops total, and zero purples. Even tried a vet dungeon, 1 drop out of 5 bosses.
I have a question about the armour "training" trait for the shared experience - if I want the companion to level up their light armour skills, do I have to wear light armour with the training trait in order for them to benefit?
It’s based on what armor the companion is wearing. You’d want them to have at least 5 light pieces in that case
@@HackTheMinotaur Thank you! Very excited about this feature - your videos have been very helpful!
I wonder how fast you can max level your companion at spellscar 🤔
Great tips hack, still waiting brother, on console 🤪
While the event is still going on. Use the cake. And a scroll. And go to Dragonstar arena. It will help to bring a buddy as well. Normal is fine. With just the cake, your companion will get around 350xp per kill. With the cake and a 150% scroll, they will get around 570. Each wave I ran would give me 5k to 6k xp for my companion. Went from lvl 4 to lvl 12 in one full run of the dragonstar arena
Hack, can you make BlackWood StamNecro guide? Ty.
Does the bonus XP gained from training gear really outweigh the extra DPS and Survivability gained from having those traits on gear that much? If it makes one less capable of getting quick kills, would it kind of be the same amount of XP gained? I can understand having training gear on if you're traveling with a group, but solo...
I'm not really in a big hurry to get my companion maxed anyways, because then I won't have as much to focus on. I'm just here for something to do. :)
It's definitely a tradeoff. If you don't have much CP or good gear, then a few extra divines traits might help more than training as you said, especially if solo
My issue with trying to grind with companions is they mess up the enemy grouping. I guess I have to change my grind character to one that has the hooked chain ability to pull them back to the group.
A bit pissed off with the companion bug' yesterday had 2 purple bits the rest blue including jewellery which took alot of grinding and lost the lot with the bug which i didn't know about' now they suppose to fix it with patch but no compensation' that took alot of hrs to grind and just wasted alot of time..
Hey, I just started playing ESO and I'm wondering how do I get those buff indicators you have above your healthbar?
If ur on PC Instelling addons Just look it op and u wil find it and use minon program to instal the addons u can find los of vids to see how to do it
In the option menu
Hey Hack I know this is illrevelant to the topic. I know the harborager story quest line is solo but what about all the stories after that? That's what kinda push me away was having a single player story while being a open world game.
All ESO story quests are essentially Solo content. You can group up for them if you want but it's not required.
@@HackTheMinotaur ty for the reply
One thing I have noticed that does not seem to level evenly across all my toons is rapport. I have made headway on rapport with my companion and main toon, but it is not reflected on the other toons I run. It is such slow going that it will be the longest "grind" aspect of the companions. (I do understand and it makes sense that rapport would be different for each toon you run. Just like in real life, I have a different rapport with different members of family. I just don't like that grind, lol.)
Companions are awesome. but i do have a QUESTRION How do i level up my relationship/ rapport with a companion?
How are you getting 4k+ experience per kill in a level 50+ character? My companion only gets ~200.
How does the outfit system work for the companions
Same as us I believe. You can dye pieces and they can use skins. You can even pick their mount. :)
Can somebody say which MOD is this that makes his skills looks so pretty in the UI?
I hope they make it easier to get companion gear. So far I haven't gotten any purples but if I do I think I'll sell them until they change the system
Ive gotten 1 green gloves, and 1 blue heavy belt so far in 3 days.
So if you have to imperial edition can you change their motor into an imperial version of it?
Mirri mentions Inn a lot - but taking her there doesn't seem to affect her. Is this wishful thinking for am I missing something?
She likes it when you make/craft an alcoholic beverage
You can just share guild quests, no need to set up different characters, just gotta have other players willing to share.
Also, only level matters in XP gain. Same XP at cp10 and at cp1000, which is why it takes longer to get from 999 to 1000 than 10 to 11. Same xp gain but higher requirement for next point.
plus friends sharing
Hello Hack The Minotaur.
Could you tell me if level-up the companion is required for each character on my account? ty.
No they keep their levels, skills and gear always no matter what character you are on
@@HackTheMinotaur
That's good news, I was worried about having to level up every character of mine. Thanks.
I would never be able to keep track of multiple Bastions….
This guy has some serious tattoos!
That last tip kinda bummed me out but I’m glad to know it. I have a few cp characters over 1300 or so, so I could technically level up a companion on them but I was looking forward to unlocking bastian on a new dps toon I was going to make when Blackwood comes to ps4. Still probably going to do that so he can level with me, just a shame to know I will be punishing myself and him for doing it that way lol.
You can use your cp on all characters as soon as you create them once you have one character reach level 50.
@@christinehede7578 yeah but a cp toon that’s level 1 will still be getting level 1 exp not cp level exp as far as I’m aware from my own testing.
@@Bridenbrad yes you are correct there will be no cp gain until that character reaches level fifty.
@@christinehede7578 no what I meant is that when I make a new toon, even though he will have a bunch of cp points to spend right at level 1, he will still be earning the amount of exp that a regular level 1 character earns, he won’t be earning the amount of exp that a champion level character earns because it goes by the character level not their cp level (at least under level 50 I believe)
@@Bridenbrad also true but you will level much faster if you use those cp as they make your character stronger enabling you to kill more quickly. You lose nothing at all if you are having fun either. This is a game and if you need to be min/maxing every step of the way you are losing sight of the fun factor. You make a new toon because you want to experience something different so why worry about how fast you level. I get that you want to level your companion quickly but why?
I don't hear to much about the companion : Mage Guild ,/ Fighter's Guild / Undaunted commendation that you can buy with Event Tickets , Like : how many can be used at one time & When Or how often can they be used , Also when is the best time to use them .
Podrías hacer las guías también en castellano?
Do undaunted daily pledges count as experience towards companion undaunted skill line?
No. Only the daily quest from the orc dude.
@@Supadrumma441 dang, thanks for letting me know.
Where's the best best place to level up my Amber what monsters give the most experience points for her
The best way I found to level companions if you want to power level them full XP gear 150 scroll two men normal dragon Star arena about five runs from 1 to 20 good luck
Could someone please tell me where I can find or where I can get bat oil cuz I want to make the greymoor armor and I can't cuz I need that and there is no TH-camr out there that has made a video about where to find or get it
You can get as reward from dailies in Western Skyrim, also if you decon armor/weapon pieces in that style.
@@melapelantodoss thank you
At this point I've been playing with both of these companions for months and I only got part of bastion and all of his ability slots. And not yet for the chic. Right now I'm just trying to get them to level 20 so I can get them out of my damn way LOL I keep snatching bugs out the air so I guess it's going to take a while for the chick
is Mirri's comment "I'm famished" a clue to do something?
Would be nice to be able to rez a Companion during a battle , (have you noticed the poor grammar in the Companion system tooltips)?
Hi Mike, you can rez the companions in the boss fights, I was doing a public dungeon yesterday and my companion died to the aoe fire on the ground and I was able to rez him. ;)
@@helderoliveira2299 sweet - come to think of it I never even tried - lol
Most of my characters are still low level (actually, all of them are) but companion level speed doesn't bother me. What is very aggravating is their affinity system. Neither companion is good with a gathering character since your affinity takes a hit when you catch any flying insect with Mirri and Bastian gets all bent even if you harvest small furry animals that HE killed with an AoE spell. Neither companion is particularly good with stealth since they seem to activate detection at the default range and engage npcs that a stealth build can sneak right past. Totally forget about using them with an assassin build or thief build. I'm afraid to even try a "criminal" ability around them with a vampire or necromancer. I hope they add more companion choices with some like those in Skyrim and Fallout 4 who actually don't like it when you are nice.
Another tidbit: if you are in a pub dungeon and someone leaves one of the remaining players can pop out their companion at any point to fill in that missing role.
Tank left? Have a companion tank, pop em out and continue on. 👍🏿
