Reasonable to play with only main pawn?

[Sand]

I don't want other people's pawns. Is it viable to only have my main pawn? I'm a strider/assassin and my main pawn is a fighter. Will I miss out on anything?

[Kashra Fall]

Just makes the game harder on you. It's up to you really. The information some of the other pawns give only benefit your own. That is provided the pawns you hired aren't lame brains.

If you really want to get beaten up and killed a lot the first few hours you play, go ahead. I have a feeling you'll change your mind about that and decide those other pawns aren't such a bad idea after all.

Let's put it this way. You'll meet up with a gang of bandits soon enough and a couple of them will be tough as nails and hard enough to kill if you have 3 pawns with you. With only 2 you will need to be a glutton for punishment for a while and have lots of patience and persistance.

Don't pay attention to people here saying this game is too easy. As long as you are not playing on easy mode and not doing something to go in with a level 85 for yourself and your pawn, it can be quite challenging and you'll have to be smart and creative to win some early battles with tougher enemies.

Wrong. It makes the game a lot easier since you get all of the experience. Less pawns = more experience which in-turn = stronger Arisen and pawn.

I normally don't hire any extra pawns until around level 20 when I jump into BBI. Even then they are just for Holy Boon and distractions.

Really? You get more XP? That's great

[Lux Divinum]

Without support pawns you gain 50% more experience, so it should totally be reasonable if that is how you wish to play.

It's how I always play, and I find it too easy. More and more I'm tempted to just forego pawns completely, especially since I main Assassin anyway, but I actually like having mine around for at least some sense of comradere.

[The White Rabbit]

You can do that, but I highly would recommend against that when you decide to tackle BBI.

I was under the impression that hired pawns don't get experience, they can only gain experience and levels in their own world with their own Arisen. I could be wrong, I'm relatively new to the game myself, but I've done some research and seen you'd have to swap out for stronger pawns later because of that fact.

Slightly right. I would prefer a slower experience for a more well trained pawn. For instance, I play a mage and it isn't my number 1 goal to jump onto a enemy and crawl up its back. My pawn learned ti do that by watching other pawns do it. Also, it helps to maximize knowledge if you don't go Roomazoomzoom. Through the levels.

I can't really understand how I see so many unequipped and untrained pawns at close to 100 right now. The pawns have like 400str at lvl 86 O.o. Also, no knowledge!

Also Assasins get a buff if they are alone with one of the skills you can purchase. It is totally viable to play wihtout other pawns.

They don't gain any levels but they do share the experience with you. Having more pawns cuts the experience reward because there are more people doing the killing. It's a lot easier to kill an enemy with four people than it is with two, so it stands to reason you will be better rewarded for taking the harder route. It's a bit rough at the start, but once you know the ins and outs of the game, it's actually a good way to power level through vocations, especially if you just want the stat gains and nothing else.

Cheats and people don't care about their pawns. What hurts me the most is seeing a pawn with great gear, great spells, good knowledge, and then seeing Guardian/Nexus for inclinations. Guardian and Nexus are automatic no hires for me. Also, if I see a lolli walking around the wilderness, she will be chucked off the nearest cliff.

[GrayHound]

It's the best way. I did it and I leveled up really fast. The game isn't really hard if you prepare even if you go solo. (you have to have some ranged attack in that case though.)

I agree with you. You were never "wrong" in what you posted. Seen many idiots who power leveled and their pawn is stupid and damn near worthless.
