Max age with the skull necklace?

[Hellbeholder]

It says to double the age and most followers grow old around 45-50. So I assume a skull necklace wearer would grow old around 90 days? Has someone experienced this?
I'm asking because I want to get the most time out of them to level up. This extremely high level follower will become an extremely powerful demon. But you can't convert old guys.

As far as i know "old" is like 18-23 ingame days, not 45-50.

i had a skull necklace on a follower and expected he would live to around 90 days, but he died at 55-60ish. idk if it was bugged or what

What do you mean? They become old around that age, they usually start at the age you mentioned.

I have a unit at 95 that is not in the "old" state. He has a necklace that looks like a animal skull. I think that is the necklace you are talking about.

Without a skull necklace i've had 1 live to 60. Some reach old age at 40-45. Yet others reach it at 50. It seems varied.

Good to know! Could you give an update later in what age they became old?

I got a follower that reached age 99, with the skull necklace. I think I sacrificed and resurrected him once. I can resurrect him again; but, I suspect he'll be in his white robe immediately.

Resurrect keeps them the same age but gives them another however-many years to live again.

Most of my followers live to be around 48~55 but I suppose that could be double with the skull necklace.

If you res a guy several times I see no reason why they couldn't hit 300+ years old other than you got bored and deleted the save first.

I confirm : Keep in mind that everytime you resurrect a follower, he keeps his age, and kind of "start over" a new life (young then old) from this age.
I have a bunch of followers who are approaching 200 days by example. (and never used any single skull necklace)

[nbk_redspy]

I don't have the resurrection ability (at least to my knowledge I can't resurrect). Unless it just happens sometimes automatically?

[Desolate_Owl]

I've had followers with the necklace live well over 100 years.

Note that followers who wear moon necklaces, and hence don't sleep, won't live as long as the ones who get sleep. I just found this out, the game does not tell you (I think?)

[Chemical Cat]

A little late to this but I have a follower who is my favorite that I keep a skull necklace just for them in particular. I have resurrected them a many number of times, I forgot how many, but they are at age 671 right now haha.
