SE has added a ton of new features to older areas and even upped the level cap on our NPC's or Adventuring Fellows. Yet we still can not use them in several areas around vanadiel. I leveled from 90-95 in Ve'Lugannon Palace and was very disappointed that my NPC could not level up with me at all there... same in Ru'Ann Gardens and I'm sure a few other places.
My big questions for dev1005 is why do our npc's not have full access to every area, aside from abyssea. Its just frustrating that we are unable to get decent exp WITH our NPC's in a wider variety of areas, or is it just sky and sea and that are blocked for NPC's?
