All 15 Follower Guide and Tier List

[Sibelios]

Awesome update @Tacet. I think you are spot on in your weightings. Much appreciated.

Given the changes to the manner of levelling and evolving followers, I was curious how the framework functions and where each follower would be based on how a player pursued progression of the 5 classes. Before the update, there was no need to level all classes as it related to follower progression but now that has changed entirely.

EDIT: 5/31/2021
This post has been updated based on the 0.35 Server Push update that changed how crystals were rewarded for sidequests from the original 0.35 update.

@Salty

We’ve pushed some new changes live after listening to your feedback. Please restart your game to see the following:

• Sidequest rewards have been adjusted, and now each gives 25 Gems for their first-time completion reward per class.
• Crystals have been removed from most Side-Quests.
  • Crystals are now earned from 3 Side-Quests related to each follower, except for Elyra and Darkhunter, who have less Side-Quests at this time.
  • You will be sent the Crystals for any Side-Quests already completed in the in-game mail.

I put together the following chart-in-progress (many thanks to @Elric for the help on mapping each Chapter!) that shows which Chapters have which sidequests and therefore which attainable follower crystals as well as the max evolution that can be achieved based on the number of class storyline playthroughs:

A couple of observations:

• Followers will not achieve Legendary rarity (with the exception of Eveline) without additional crystals from sources referred to in the patch notes

Changelist to upgrading Followers

• Glyphs and Scrolls are no longer required to level Followers, instead, we’ve…
• Added Crystals based on each follower (i.e. Eveline, Toragon, etc)
• There are new costs to evolve Followers with each Crystal:
  • Level 5 Evolution - 1 Crystal
  • Level 15 Evolution - 3 Crystals
  • Level 25 Evolution - 6 Crystals
  • Level 35 Evolution - 10 Crystals
  • Level 45 Evolution - 15 Crystals
  • Level 46-50 Upgrade - 5 Crystals at each level afterward
    • This has changed from the previous Evolution Levels of 10/20/30/40/50 and matches the evolution levels of other collectibles
  • Crystals can be earned when unlocking Followers, from VIP and Battle Pass Rewards, in Side Quests and have a small chance to drop in Ruby and Diamond Chests. There is also a small chance to earn Crystals from Eveline’s crafting
  • Eveline’s Crystals will also be awards as Chapter Completion rewards for certain Chapters in the main story

• existing players received a benefit by virtue of the fact that the crystals that were mailed out were based on player chapter completions without regard to the existing rarity of their followers (e.g. if you had an Epic follower at the update, then you have 10 extra crystals related to that follower as a result)

• The Eveline crystals referred to in the patch notes that are awarded as Chapter completions are awarded every 3 Chapters (Chapters 3,6,9,12,15) which means a complete storyline run-through would yield 5 extra Eveline Crystals. This means that Eveline can be evolved to Mythic after 5 complete playthroughs.

Hopefully this will help to answer the questions that we are commonly seeing now like “When can I get Auri crystals” and “What chapter are Northelm crystals”. Please provide feedback and identify any errors that you see in the chart and I will update as needed.

Thanks!
