Companion Details
Freelancers
Freelancers are NPCs who can be hired to accompany you on your adventures. They boast higher skill levels than the average companion in their respective areas. Bryle and Ian can be hired at any time, whereas Daia and Jio will reject your offer if your combat level is 5 or lower. For all four, after reaching 8 hearts and seeing their 8 heart event, their prices will decrease by 50%, and if married, they will always be free to hire.
