Squadron Recruits

[Eul]

I didn't find a single arcanist in the 2 previous weeks, found 1 finally this week

The only arcanist I have is Raging Ox a.k.a naked roe

Doesn't make any difference, each role simply has different attributes.
Healer seems to have most mental, while tanks have most physical, and damage dealers most tactical.

Actually, DPS are pretty much are all over the board.
BRD and NIN have a lot of tactical,
mages (THM and Arcanist) have a lot of mental, just like healers,
and MNK is fairly balanced for all 3 stats.
Haven't had a DRG yet but I think I saw a screenshot that their physical is pretty high?

Roles start mattering only when you have bonus chemistry stuff that only activates on certain conditions, like "have 4 lalas in your group" or "have one of each role in your group" etc.

I absolutely despise it. I have been play around it for a while. Now, it feel like it's going to stuck at Lv20 mission for some time. My squad is now lv 25, but the stats allocation is still all mess up. No matter how I tried to use training to reallocate points, one of stats is always not enough to do that mission. While I appreciate the effort of actually doing something to earn the rank, this is simply not fun.
In addition, the 18hrs mission made this whole thing just a game of waiting for RNG result.

When they announced the squadron system, I thought I was going to party up with my recruit npcs and do some special instances or some sort. I did not expect this to just be retainer reborn.

Does anyone know the significance of the color that the squad member's names are while in Squadron Roster view?

I can't figure out what it means. I have two healers and one ninja with red names on the roster. The rest are blue.
The healers are rank 30,29 the ninja is 29. They all live in different areas and are not the same race or gender nor class/job. I just cant find a common denominator between the matching colors.

Also, What does "Mission Affinity" mean? Does it have any buffs or significance?
thanks for any info! I appreciate it.

If you have squad members who match the mission affinity, their chemisty gets a boost.

Thank you so much! I totally overlooked that it seems.

[MomomiMomi]

Forgot to mention, they also ignore their chemisty requirement. It's active regardless.

If you're wondering where your recruits are getting Crystal Tower and Primal gear when they hit Level 40, I have 2 words for you:

"Expert Delivery"

3 Years we've been dumping this meaningless junk into the Grand Company.
Now our recruits get to wear the efforts of our labor.

[Atoli]

OMG I never even thought of that xD
But that still doesn't explain how they are able to wear it, even when it explains how they obtain it.
I already obtained a very beautiful lvl 60 MNK body but because I'm only lvl 58, I can't wear it

i dismissed an archer some time ago in favour for another one , and then 2 days later after reset , the first recruit i got was the dismissed archer XD
