Artisan, I am generally on board with your refresh wishes. However, if it is whm/rdm as people suggest, then the refresh from /rdm wouldn't take effect until 82, when the /rdm would get it. Sucks, but in fairness to the whm/rdm they ape, absent gear they wouldn't get refresh until that level, seems unfair to give it to an NPC before you give it to a PC. But absolutely give it at level 82 and on. Also, I know my bard spells finally effect my NPC, so I do ballad her when she's out and I'm using bard. I don't know if any of the other Refresh spells/options can hit your NPC, as I don't have jobs that can use them. I know that Aspir Samba does NOT work, although in fairness I think all sambas should. Your NPC counts as occupying a party slot after all, party buffs should be able to hit them.
