Companion is a hired-helper system available for all characters. At rank 16, the quest “A Companion” becomes available from Sergeant Knox in Protector’s Enclave. You can hire a number of companions that initially take the form of an item in your inventory. Double clicking the companion item will activate it. Companions can range from simple mercenary humanoids to pet-like creatures and even glowing stones that circle the head. A single companion can be summoned at any time outside of combat to help you in combat.
These companions will join you in your journey in the world of Neverwinter to earn Neverwinter Astral Diamonds.
