Bastian Companion guild levelling is stuck

stewg73 · September 2022

Bastian is levelling combat normally, but when I went into his guild levels they were lower than I expected and more suspiciously, they are ALL currently on 0/100 at various levels. Undaunted at 6 exactly, Fighters at 2 and mages at 3, but all three at 0/100. When you mouse over the companion undaunted guild progress bar it says, "Improve this skill by completing Bogrul's Undaunted challenges". OK, so I had companion active the entire time, went to Bogrul, got daily quest, completed it and turned it in and got the undaunted merits. Go into Bastian's stats and still stuck at level 6 0/100. At first I though is that max for a companion but clearly it isn't as the third skill is locked and not unlocked until level 10.

Anyone else having this issue?

Interesting. I've continued playing having Bastian active all the time and nothing had changed. Just checked and mages and fighters still the same but undaunted has moved to 7 but still 0/100. Perhaps it is counting but just not displaying in UI...

In the example you gave everything seems to be working perfectly.

Every guild daily quest raises the skill line by one full point (bringing it to one higher level, at 0/100). You did an undaunted daily, and went from level 6 to 7... Just 3 more dailies to go!

There have been reports of an intermittent bug were completing a daily does not improve a skill level at all, it's like the companion somehow dodged the XP boost. I've had it happen to me and friends, who were doing the dailies everyday but one guild skill line was a point lower than the others. Fortunately it is very intermittent, so it's only going to slow down progress by a day or so.

Hmmm. I'm not sure. I wouldn't have thought one daily = one level. Which it doesn't in my account as I've done fighters, mages and undaunted dailies today and the undaunted has only just moved. The other two haven't increased at all. Undaunted for eg with main characters goes up 10 or so ie a fraction of a full level per pledge, and you can see the bar gradually going across. Not with the companions

prior to the high isle update it used to take 2 dailies to increase the rank of the companions guild skill line by 1 level (so the bar would fill halfway, and then roll over to a new level)

with the high isle update back in june, they changed companion guild skill line ranks to be 1 daily = 1 level, so the bar will never be "full" until you hit the max of rank 10
