Companion Rapport

Yuffie91

How does this work exactly? Do they judge you all the time or once a day? I got a "like" from Bastian the first time I scryed and the first book I read. And I got a dislike when I stole something..is it only once a day he will like/dislike or do I have to keep my grabby fingers to myself all the time when he's with me?

Every action you do causes likes or dislikes depending on their personalities. So if you're going to steal stuff, might not want Bastian out and about with you.

Linaleah

there is a 5 minute CD on likes (or at least there was on pts). on pts there was no CD on dislikes, but not sure if it was intentional or a pts bug


also. its not every action. its couple of specific actions.

Flex_Mentallo

I lost rep for grabbing a tourchbug…. Oops.

Yuffie91

Oof best leave him at home when I do Thieves guild then..it's hard to keep my grabby fingers to myself..Mirri isn't an option either as I'm into bug collecting

Yeah went to dig up a treasure chest, grabbed a fleshfly and she was sad.

I wonder what the reason is for this! I can understand Bastians aversion to stealing..but bugs?

There is a whole discussion on this (with likes and dislikes for both companions) on the PTS forum.

The problem is, we don't know what changed between then and now. Seems during PTS changes were occurring behind the scenes, and seems rather inconsistent. For me, I read books in several bookshelves yesterday, and never got a single comment or 'like' from them... yet others are reporting they received rapport increases from reading books.

I see a "like" pop up from a book sometimes but not all the time..People have said harvesting runes gives them likes though I have never seen this..Stealing seems to always get a dislike when going it.

At least opening chests doesn't count as 'stealing' even though we are taking items from a chest that isn't ours using a lockpick. Bastian made the comment, something like, "You seem to have a knack for finding those."

Which is odd... because with thieves troves, you are basically stealing FROM thieves... while open world chests are stealing from anyone and everyone.

Bastian also likes rune stone picking I heard.

That was part of the PTS commentary... apparently at the start of PTS he did... but over time people found that he no longer gave approval for doing it.

ADarklore

You would think that Bastian, as a mage, would give approval for Mages Guild lorebooks found across Tamriel... now that is something the devs should add. Have Mirri give approval for dolemen completion or something.

PurpleScroll

I have found the following positive rapport with Mirri thus far:

- Entering a daedric delve or public dungeon: +10
- Completing a fighter's guild daily: +125
- Reading any book on a bookshelf: +1
- Using a Psijic portal: +5
- Crafting an alcoholic drink: +1
- Excavating an antiquity: +6

The fighter's guild daily is a -massive- amount of rapport, so make sure to do this each day.

I read that she does give approval for dolmens, but it's only by killing guys that spawn before the anchors come down. Not sure how true that is though.

Does this pop up on screen, because I never see anything pop up telling me a like or dislike. Perhaps I have something disabled that is blocking the notice.

I killed a giant snake and she approved.

Chaquinho89

Three things I can confirm from doing on the PTS with Mirri was 'reading bookshelves', 'crafting alcoholic beverages' and 'excavating leads'. These gave me good rapport with her. Also be careful picking up flying bugs or killing critters out of combat, those seem to give you bad rapport with her.
But I do believe this is also something that is on the global cooldown, so you'll have to wait a few minutes, if not hours, to get it to proc again.

How can you tell how much rapport these actions give? I would really love some numbers or even just some dots on their rapport bars so I can see whether I'm actually getting any movement, the colour gradient is really unhelpful and after a full day of reading books and visiting Mages Guilds and Eyevea and Artaeum (and seeing approval gains pop up) Bastian doesn't seem like he's shifted his opinion of me at all.

ADarklore

Is Mirri still afraid of harbors? I thought someone said, just like Bastian and rune collecting, that both had been removed.

I'm using the addon 'LootDrop Reborn' which reports the numbers for positive and negative rapport.

How did you get those numbers? I only see the bar moving ever so slowly (by taking a screenshot between play sessions).

I gained rapport when entering the Brass Fortress from the main gate after the bridge, but not by porting into the wayshrine, so I'd be curious to know how much that nets.

She also made me gain rapport for killing goblins, but only every 5 minutes or so (in Mephala's Spite for a quest).

Edit: oops saw reply just above now, you wrote it before I clicked send

She said something in regard to killing them I think.

LaughingGremlin

I have Mirri as a healer and one that is driving is nuts is Mirri screaming when she's sees a corpse. Being a necro this can get annoying.

Awesome, thank you. Definitely going to get that, it should be a big help.

tyggerbob

I've noted some odd things. like I enter a daedric delve, I get the approval and the alert for the rapport increase, but Lootdrop is showing it as a zero increase. Maybe there's a longer cooldown on those.
oh. and for the love of the divines, if your inventory is full and you pop a merchant to sell stuff, make SURE Mirri's back up BEFORE you turn in your daily fighter's guild quest. Still banging my head on the desk over that one.
lol

ectoplasmicninja

Also keep in mind that guild dailies can be shared, so that you can theoretically do all of them each day if you can find enough folks willing to share. Sends up rapport pretty quick that way. I thought I'd see tons of people sharing in zone chat in the capitals, like you see the dailies in the chapter zones, but it's actually been pretty rough to get folks to share. Someone tried to charge me 30k for a Mages Guild daily share...I passed.
