I got a Filir, level 24 (Awkward). Not that I wanted a Filir, but since I have one, might as well use it for the time being and learn more about the basic commands of Homunculus. And besides, I don't think the stats of my Filir is very good- below average STR, poor DEX, poor VIT and abysmal INT.

I found a few statements on the RMS Guide. Are they true?

1. filr’s evolved skill damage is based on intimacy level, and can deal a higher damage then asura

2. filr’s evolved skills will return intimacy to 1.

3. you can not hit a homunculus with an AoE of any type. Sorry, but wizards can’t really hurt homunculus unless they focus fire on one. They’re immune to traps too. They still count as standing on the cell when placing traps though.


Some initial problems I am facing:
1. I am using MiRAI (but I have no idea if its working properly). I did set it to "Auto Pot" and activated it with /hoai (rest and then call Homunculus)

2. I don't like the Filir standing too near me. It makes it hard for me to aid pot it.

3. The SP is a problem. I guess it has to do with Abysmal INT. And I don't aid pot it with Blue Potions. Why? Coz I have none.


How do Homunculus gain experience?

ROEmpire
Homunculus will take the job exp of each kill. The exp that the homunculus will gain is:
[(total amount of dmg done to the monster) / (total HP of the monster)] X (job exp of the monster) = exp gain by the homunculus

RMS Guide
I have recently discovered that a homunculus actually gains exp based on BOTH the jexp and the bexp. It takes a percentage of the jexp away from you as described above, HOWEVER, gains exp as if it had just gained it’s base exp.

So which is it? job experience ONLY or both base and job experience? or could it be something else?


Any expert AI coders. What can I make my Homunculus do? Well... on my server there are only two things you cannot do with AI (i.e. an offense)
1. Auto feed the homunculus
2. Auto walk the player

Other than the two rules above, you can do practically anything. I heard you can use homunculus to Attack Cloak/Hidden players. How do you do that? Read player's HP/SP/etc...?

Old news, they should be stopped by all traps+web, and can be dmg'ed like any other monster/player.  They also are now statusable unlike before.  SVN updates have actually made Homunculous very fair :O

Fillir is good as long as he can spam skills, so definentely invest in making blue pots for him to level him easier.  Outside these things, I am not very good with homunculi, so I unfortunately cannot answer all your questions >.<
