automaticallly add companions to roster when hunting

Small Qol suggestion. I have my wolves and companions listed and set for hunting. For example, my boy Élodie and his snowloon are *always* going to do Cat Burglers. It's annoying to always have to click through to add the companion after picking Élodie. I can not even think of a case where I'd pick a wolf and wouldn't want the companion, but if I did, it's still easier to 'X' the companion out that one rare time, rather than have to add a companion every time I start a hunt.

Maybe add a hunt that gives out salt and pepper. I'm chronically low, and doing the goldsea campaign is bothersome because you can't get wild wolves in that area, so it feels like a waste of time.

I wouldn't like this cause there are many hunts out there that require multiple wolves and not their companion (due to synergies required). It would cause more effort for those situations to then remove the companion to free up that space for the wolf that needs to go.

Alternatively, what I would like to see is some sort of 'saved' teams so that I can easily save a compisition and reuse it when I do that hunt again later. Ofcourse the question is how that will work since companions can be moved around (and considering the many parts of the site that use the combos with slightly different requirements, it is not unthinkable that someone has to do so regularly).

Not sure if you misunderstand the math, but three clicks to basically find the same wolf twice is more work than one click to remove a companion. As far as my hunting list goes, I only have one hunting quest that would require the removal of companions (dangerous knowledge needs 3 jocols, 1 kit and one companiopn); in order for a new system to be more work you'd need to have 3 times the number of quests that require companion removal comapred to companion addition; I don't even think that's mathamatically possible considering there are are so many synergies wolvs don't have.

It's fine if you'd perfer a list over automatic compaion addition, I actually would not support a list because when I do quests that can have an odd number of wolves I always give the last slot to a random wolf that needs exp. I don't have static hunting parties.

"The clicks to find the same wolf twice"... im not sure what this means. You cant even add the same wolf twice... And perhaps you have only one quest that used a wolf instead of a companion. But I have many, so from my perspective, looking at my experiences, I wouldnt want this and dont support this. Saved teams or in general a team selection functionality that is more streamlined than this (e.g not closing the pop up after every selection but leaving it up so that it saves some clicks, sort, filter and search options etc) which are more universally beneficial would, in my opinion, be better alternatives

you have to find the same wolf twice to add a companion. So, in Cat Burglars, I add Élodie then have to find Élodie AGAIN to add his companion. If it added the companion automatically, it would save me from having to find him twice.


I'm really curious what hunts would require you to add a wolf but remove their companion, since as far as any of the popular lists go, there's only that one (dangerous knowledge). I can send you companions! I have doubles of most of them and I think it would help you out with hunts.


current system:

find Élodie

find Élodie again to add his companion

find random wolf to join hunt purely for exp.


better system:

find Élodie (companion automatically added)

find random wolf to add for exp.

This would save time for larger hunts in the 25 and 30 level. For example, in Goldsea Treasure 30 I have to find my wolf Burvju, then find Burvjy AGAIN for his companion, then find Neven, then find Neven AGAIN for her companion, then find a random brac that I want to give exp. It would be faster if the companions were auto-added.

Oh in that sense. I get the wording now. And I do get that for you it would be more convenient, but for me it wouldn't. And my math is as follows:

Current system:

Click on add wolf (+1)

Click on den (+1)

Select wolf (+1)

Click on add wolf (+1)

Click on den (+1)

Select wolf 2 (+1)

(= 6 clicks total)


Your suggested system:

Click on add wolf (+1)

Click on den (+1)

Select wolf (+1)

Companion is automatically added (no clicks)

Remove companion cause I don't want it added (+1)

Click on add wolf (+1)

Click on den (+1)

Select wolf 2 (+1)

(= 7 clicks total)


So while in your situation it is more convenient. For other situations your suggestion is actually more inconvenient (7 > 6) compared to the status quo. Which is why I don't support it. I'm fine with QoL and convenience improvements, but not if they inconvenience half of the time as well.

Hence why I suggested alternatives that would not inconvienece. I personally think, as I said in my latest reply, that a more sleek team selection screen would make the best out of both worlds. If the selection screen doesn't disappear every time you select something, but just remains popped up, you wouldn't have to go through the whole searching part again (which is what you are looking for) but also not be forced to do extra clicks because things I don't want added to the team are automatically added.

Or make saved teams where Neven and Burvju (awesome names btw!) and their companions are part of the standard team, and still leaves you the option to add whatever 5th member you want. In comparison, I see a 'saved' team option similar to FR's saved teams in the coliseum. it just auto selects them but the team doesn't have to be fully filled when saved, the battle doesn't automatically start, and you can still deicde to swap out or add onto after autoselecting the saved teammembers.


As for which hunts use just wolves: pretty much all low level hunts can be done with just wolves. Damage control (lupin with any other wolf, or zerda with bracchus, or zerda with volmyr or 2 zerdas), shock and awe (jocol with any other wolf, or bracchus with kit), angry bears (2 lupins, 2 bracchus, or 1 bracchus or lupin with 1 zerda or 1 volmyr), etc. etc.

I personally mostly hunt for the exp and activity 'quest' (the rewards aren't really worth my trouble to be honest) and pretty much all of my companions are already level 10, so the xp would be wasted on them. So I don't need companions (I'm only missing the referal ones anyway and they are account bound) but thanks for the offer.
