No Companion Who Can Take On Quest [HELP]

[traiannnn]

Dear Taleworlds employee,

I hired a companion with 82 Trade (Dalai the Swift) to let her do quests with trade.

“I will assign a companion with 4 good men for 15 days.” is greyed out, because:

“You don’t have any companions with Trade skill higher than 17 who can take on this quest.”

I did not give the companion a role yet either. Is this a bug? Thanks in advance,

Traian

Is she with your party?

 

[traiannnn]

She is in my party, do I assign her to have her own party?

No, it should work when she is in your party. Can you show us some screenshots (her stats and the dialoge from the quest giver)?

Yes I still have some 8 hours to go before I can add images here (account is less than 24 hours old). Talk to you soon! Thanks in advance!

While on the subject: Its incredible difficult to get a companion to do any sort of quest in my opinion.
I dont think I've ever had a companion in my party who could do anything - at all.
Is it my bad recruiting skills or are the requirements really tough?

My Taleworlds account has restrictions 3 more hours... I'll add images as soon as I can..

Same for me, it´s pretty rare that I can choose one of my companions to do a quest.

Is there also a relationship metric?

E.g. they may not want a cruel companion...

I always find it difficult to use companions for quests. Middle to late game the requirements are ridiculous considering the state of your companions in the first place. Most companions have stupid stats to start with and I tnink that level 11 maybe the lowest starting level for them.

another issue i have is that most quests i persoanlly could get done in a short time yet a compainion has to be gone for sometimes more than a week ingame

Also the same for me, in most cases it´s just not worth the time and I´ll just do it myself .

Not said it yet but welcome back.

There is one particular quest which is bugged and you cannot assign a companion. I do not remember the quest name but I got the same issue some days ago.

Concerning companions doing quests, the requeriments for companions are insane in late game. In late game when I am king, I would like to rely more on my companions to avoid having to deal with these small issues myself, and not the opposite.

@Dejan is it safe to say these skill requirements for companions to do quests are not final?

If they are they need a serious review as its extremely difficult to level up companions in skills that are not a party assignment.

Here are the screenshots you asked for. You can see she has 82 trade skill. She is in my party. The town where I talk with the guy giving the quest is Aster. So when I'm in Aster my companion stays in Aster also. That's the moment when I took the screenshot. Also, my companion has no given role.

@traiannnn this is definitely a bug.

@uçanbiblo could you pass this on to QA?

 

[traiannnn]

Alright, hope it can be fixed. I'll just open up an older saved game and not hire Dalai the Swift because her whole purpose was to do quests for me lol. Hope this huge game can be improved!

Trade skill 82 is not that bad for a caravan leader, she is not useless.

 

[Blood Gryphon]

@traiannnn , @MostBlunted is right, you should keep her and save up 15k to start a caravan with her to start getting some good daily income. Her high trade skill will get you more profit compared to any other companion.
