Companions


The companions system of Neverwinter is basically a hired-helper system available for all characters. At level 16 you will be given a Companion Quest. The reward is your choice of one of five basic companions for free. All basic companions can be purchased for 2gold each from the companion vendor who you will be directed to when you receive the companion quest.

 

Companions are classified by the following types just like classes:

  • Defender - tank
  • Controller - ranged dps, crowd control
  • Striker - melee dps
  •  Leader - healer, support
  • Non Combat

 

You can hire a number of companions that take the form of items in your inventory which you activate when you need the help of the companion. Companions can range from simple mercenary humanoids to pet-like creatures. A single companion can be summoned at any time to help you quest through a dungeon or win a difficult battle. Each character in a five-player group can summon their own companion. You can have only set number of active companions and only one summoned. Non active "comps" are put to Idle companions tab in your inventory.

 

Companions can have 3 runes and 3 items equipped, you can view your companions equipment and other details by pressing "C" key and going to Companion tab.

 

Companions will level up with you, but they have to be sent on training in order to gain levels.

  • White: max rank of 15
  • Green: max rank of 20
  • Blue: max rank of 25
  • Purple: max rank of 30
  •  Orange: max rank of 35
