Squadron Recruits

[MomomiMomi]

No. One of my members had a chemistry bonus that would be active if a pugilist were in the group (when I have no pugilists). That bonus is still not active even when I have mission affinity. It did, however change another member's 15% Str boost into a 30% Str boost, and would have changed another member's 10% chance at a Defense item drop into a 100% chance. But both of those had the requirement met

I'm looking at it right now. "When accompanying an archer" and "When accompanying a lancer" are active despite not having those squadron members present. Not only that, but the wording changes and doesn't even mention a requirement. It simply says "As mission affinity is at maximum."

Well, even when you get the "As mission affinity is at maximum" with one character, other characters may not get their bonuses. Something else is going on. Maybe it looks at your entire 8-man squad rather than the 4 you're sending or something. (In the case where I saw chemistry not being met even with affinity, it was looking for a class I don't have in my squad at all with either the active or inactive members.) Do you have an archer and lancer among your other squad members, the ones not assigned to the mission?

I do. And previously I didn't have a second archer, but I'm pretty sure it was still active, so if that's the case, it seems it even counts itself.

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

Got same THM 5 times ROG 4 times and LNC 3 times.... while i only need one more CNJ for full dreamteam of 2x MRD 2x CNJ 2x ARC + 1x GLD and 1x ACN with this setup you should only need to focus on just one stat when training.

I see people talking about going with 2 of each extremes and 2 more balanced classes - am I going to face problems if go with like 2 Conjurers, 2 tanks (MRD/GLD) and 4 different damage dealers?

Not really. You might want to consider changing one of the CNJ to a different caster, but you should be fine either way. I was using 2 CNJs for some of my missions until I replaced one with a different caster.
