By completing categories in your challenge log you will occasionally attract new recruits to your squadron. The appearance of potential recruits will be announced with an on-screen message, and their enlistment papers will be delivered to your desk inside the barracks. You can also check if recruits are available by opening the Timers interface located under Duty in the main menu. Visit the barracks and read the enlistment papers to decide which recruits you wish to add to your squadron. You can decide if you wish to add a new recruit to your squadron after selecting the respective enlistment form. Should your squadron roster already contain the maximum eight members, then you will need to discharge an existing member in order to enlist a new recruit.

Recruitment Conditions[edit]

Each category of the challenge log pertains to different recruits. When one applies for enlistment, their reason for enlistment corresponds to the type of challenge that was completed which caused them to apply.

Potential Recruits[edit]

Every time an entry is completed, there is a chance for a new recruit to apply to the squadron. This chance can be increased with the use of a Squadron Enlistment Manual.

Squadron Gear[edit]

As the NPCs level up, their gear changes automatically, with the exception of some recruits who have their own unique outfits (though they still change their weapon according to level like other recruits). Their gear is dependent on their current class. Because the special recruits do not change outfits when changing class, it is possible for some of them to wear gear that conflicts with their class (for example, Dolfin, who wears the caster-only Black Griffin Set).

Upon reaching level 51, a squadron member's gear can be glamoured manually by the player, with the same restrictions as the player character - gear must match the class, and be the same level or lower in order to be used as a glamour. Because conjurers and thaumaturges all use a two-handed weapon at this level, they cannot be glamoured with a one-handed weapon.
