Cute DoL Familliars: A Gathering Companion

[Mug]

I think it this is an awesome idea! Genius, in fact.

This is a very neat idea by the OP. I would love to see something like this in game - DoL/DoH classes definitely need some love, and this would be a fantastic start.

Absolutely! Getting low on inventory space, I often head out without my DoL gear when I'm not doing Fieldcraft leves and just focusing on leveling my DoW/DoM... sometimes it gets a little boring going out and just gathering at times (especially since we can't fight anything). Something like this would break that tedium for me, and I'd see myself enjoying having a companion around (reminds me of Chacha and the Felynes from Monster Hunter).

Lol this is unanimous.

This OP is a fantastic idea. All joking aside, this could truly help with alot of the DOL's issues as of late.

While only quickly browsing the forums, I really do like your idea! Thanks for posting!

I love this idea! theres so much that could be done with it too..but honestly even if all it could do is pull hate and take a couple hits it would be helpful

you could even get culinarian involved by adding in special foods for the companion that would increase its def ect

I definitely like this idea, if only because having an apkallu follow me around would be the best thing. Also, Apkallus in FFXI specialized in yawning (AoE sleep) and dancing (Frigid Shuffle, gaze paralyze), but I haven't lived long enough to see one of their techniques in XIV.
As well, someone mentioned chocobos increasing gathering stats, and that'd be cool to have, too. Just something to stave off boredom and add some depth or variety.

I love this idea!! I like to craft and this would just make it more exciting for me. I like the concept on how to obtain too.

I would take up fishing if only to have an Apkallu derping around me while I do.
Also, I think marmots would be kinda cute to have along with me while logging.
Cool idea overall and here's hopin' they add something like this.
