If pawn rewards are broken, does that also mean that quest knowledge from other people using your pawn is also broken?

Pawn knowledge is working. So is personality, chatter rate, etc. It's just everything tied to rating and rewarding pawns.

So we might as well stop giving pawns items when we dismiss them, I'd be shocked if we ever get credit for the uses they had before it's patched (if it ever is).

Are there any cheats out for Pawn Inclinations? Mine changed to Nexus recently and I need to fix that but I guess I'm too early in the game to?

Why's that? Mechazawa never struck me as the warrior type, personally, and with too much armor you wouldn't be able to see his striking visage.

You used to be able to savescum it, but they patched it a while back on console to save after you roll. I think.

Also protip: If you're not particularly interested in actually doing the escort quests but want the rewards - you can grab a couple of port crystals and place them at the escort destinations before you do them. There are multiple jobs which end up at the same places, namely that goblin fortress and bloodwater beach (or whatever it's called). If you have port crystals at these places, you can teleport there and your escort will also teleport with you.

You also get two port crystals fairly easily. One is from the story quest to explore to the bottom of the Everfall, the Portcrystal is right in the middle of the bottom level so make sure to grab it. There's another roughly due north of Gran Soren, on a Hill your pawns will comment on. Once you get pulled into the cutscene, explore the house to find it.

Port crystals can be placed anywhere in the world to teleport you. And you can carry one around and drop it to warp back to Gran Soren to sell/store/level up poo poo then warp back.

I could have sworn you could buy Portcrystals, but that might just be a NG+ feature.

You can't forge Portcrystals, right? I mean you can, but they're worthless IIRC.

Some of it is good. Moldy (not rotten) Apples/Grapes plus water makes wine which is an amazing healing item and that stuff is super common.

Also can let you make some items you need for weapon/armor enhancement. Pretty meh otherwise until postgame when you get some crazy things opened up.

There are specialty items you can buy from the pawn that hangs around the riftstone in the encampment that can change main character and pawn. Art of Metamorphosis I think?

The problem is that those cost Rift Crystals, which aren't exactly easy to get with pawn rewards not working, at least not early on. It's fine in the late game but early on 5,000 RC is pretty steep.

I only take special jobs, if you know what I mean.
So I'm trying to max the Rank of sorcerer before heading into Magick Archer on my first time playing, because I heard that is a smart thing to do, but it's turning into a chore. Would I be missing much if I just decided to play Magick Archer without that 15% casting time decrease?

Well then you can just CheatEngine yourself the Secret of Metamorphosis as described here.

The only reason I haven't done that is because I've never successfully used CheatEngine before and I'm fairly certain I'd just gently caress something up horribly.

Just switch to Magick Archer and play for a while, then go back to Sorcerer later when you feel up to it again. Once you unlock a vocation you can switch to it for free.

So if I was doing an escort quest and the target died, what would be my best method to try again? The saves versus check points system is confusing as hell given that what they call saves function more like traditional checkpoints as far as I can tell.

I wish there was some way to tell if a quest is in your level range or not. There's currently four escort missions on the notice board in the first town, and I'm pretty sure at least three of them would take me to certain doom.

Assumes all escort quests are out of your level range unless you already know where they're leading to. They're pretty pointless anyways.

Ser Berne's escort quest gives you the best warrior weapon you can get outside of the postgame (and BBI), so it's usually worth doing.

Allright, I will take that advice to heart. Thanks.

Also, does anyone know where these sudden influxes of skulls are coming from? My carry weight suddenly bumped up by 10+, and when I checked my bags, I had 60-something skulls sitting there.
Edit: It's happened twice.

There's a quest for killing undead or skeletons that rewards 60 skulls. Unless you died after completing it the first time and had to load a save, I can't explain it happening twice.

Welp, that explains it, thanks. Yeah, I might have died before saving the first time.
