How to make my Homunculus Loyal ?

You have 2 ways :

• Method 1: Just turn on auto feed and AFK or go farming, Homunculus isn't easy to die as before, so low level area shouldn't be a problem. But the uptime of Homun is only 30 minutes, so make sure to have it called back every 30 minutes.
• Method 2: Using Homunculus Supplement (100371) to increase Homunculus's intimacy directly by using it. Each pill gives 5 points of intimacy, so 180 pieces is need to make it Loyal instant from the start.
  • Your Homun become Loyal when Intimacy reaches 911 which can be checked by Alt+R and @hominfo
  • Note : your Homun Hunger bar won't decrease if it isn't summoned.

Here the table how many Intimacy gained by feeding at specific hunger level :

Hunger	Intimacy
Leave your Homun starving (Hunger bar < 11%)	-1 ( every 200 seconds )
1% ~ 10%	+5
11% ~ 25%	+10
26% ~ 75%	+7.5
76% ~ 90%	-0.05
91%~100%	-0.5

Homunculus S

How do I get Homunculus S?

1. You must be a Genetic.
2. Your Homunculus must be evolved and have reached level 99. It doesn't necessarily needs to be Loyal, as it will gain its Loyal skill (e.g. Self Destruction, S.B.R. 44, Blood Lust or Mental Charge) once the mutation is completed, regardless of the current Intimacy level.
3. Go to Lighthalzen (@go 20) and enter the Geneticist Guild building at the 8-9 o'clock area of the map (@navi job3_gen01 45 50).
4. Inside, talk to Viorel NPC to start a short quest. You can pay a 50k fee to choose which Homunculus S you get or let Viorel decide for you randomly.

Which Base Homunculus to choose and why ?	What make Eira special is Overed Boost which gives 190 ASPD and 600 FLEE for both owner and her but drain 50% MaxSP when effect ends. Thanks to those boosted stats, Eira is able to tank a lot of high tiers monsters/bosses. So to maximize her tanking ability, I recommend to choose Amistr as base Homun. Further more, Overed Boost decreases Hunger bar to 1 after ended. So you can spam it to farm Intimacy which is scaled good with S.B.R.44 of Filir and Bio Explosion of Vanilmirth. You can consider either of them as base Homun too.	Bayeri is famous for his tanking ability by abusing Stein Wand and even able to tank ranged monsters by Goldene Ferse which increases FLEE. When reaching level 138, Heilige Stange is now unlocked. It is very low delay , AoE and very strong, the skill damage depends on Homun's VIT. Tips : I highly recommend save up at least 10 Skill Points for Heilige Stange so that you can get it immediately at unlocked level. So I recommend Amistr for High max HP and VIT as Base for Bayeri.	People want Pain Killer the most when picking Sera . It reduces received damage by a Flat amount up to 2000 (capped at 2000) at level 150 (SkillLevel*200)*(HomunculusLevel/150). Otherwise, Summon Legion is also helpful for tanking. Since she doesn't SP consuming and mainly used for buffing, you may want her to be more useful by choose Vanilmirth for extra brewing chance or Amistr to tank.	Dieter has 2 buffing skills which provide ATK Pyroclastic and resist Granitic Armor. Is main source of damage is Magma Flow which need to be hit to active so i recommend Amistr for Dieter.	Sonic Claw is the thing makes Eleanor , strong, fast but SP consuming. However, her strenght won't change much as her Level increases. And since Eleanor always rush in frontline and draw aggro to her, I recommend Amistr for her survivability , Filir to maximize DPS.
	Since Vanilmirth's stats is very analogous, so in fact, Vanilmirth is suitable as Base Homun for every Homunculus S. If you're in doubt, then Vanilmirth is a good choice for you. Additionaly, Amistr is also a no-doubt option thanks to the tankiness and VIT bonus buff to help you reach 100 Total VIT without waste precious status points (and legendary Castling skill too).
