Recruit

Plan

On Cai's route, Benditz requires 3S support and 9R renown.

  1. Part I, chapter 1

    Give Benditz a gift each in-game week, share meals with him at inns and pair with him in arena training, temple service, world-map feasts, theatre or thermae, aiming to carry his support to level 3 before Part I chapter 6.† unverified

  2. Part I, chapter 1

    Prioritise quests from the start of Cai's route, especially Cai's route-specific Kindness Quests, alongside main-story progression, divine audiences and skirmishes, to accrue the 9R renown the gate needs.† unverified

Research notes
  • Give Benditz a gift each in-game week, share meals with him at inns and pair with him in arena training, temple service, world-map feasts, theatre or thermae, aiming to carry his support to level 3 before Part I chapter 6. Why: Satisfies the 3S support component of Benditz's Cai route gate, which is Benditz's own support level with the player.
  • Prioritise quests from the start of Cai's route, especially Cai's route-specific Kindness Quests, alongside main-story progression, divine audiences and skirmishes, to accrue the 9R renown the gate needs. Why: Satisfies the 9R renown component of Benditz's Cai route gate.

Missing plan details

  • no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Cai's route, so the 9R target cannot be tied to a specific chapter
  • no numeric support-points-per-action or points-per-rank figures exist, so weekly pacing is a baseline assumption only
  • no in-game-date to chapter correspondence for Benditz's 'appears in Dagsion around 11/4' note, so the support-window start cannot be mapped to a chapter

Story and profile

Who they are

Benditz is an elderly one-eyed knight who once led a hundred soldiers at a temple. He lost that command to a scandal some years ago and has worked as a mercenary since. He still wants to become a general. He admires the tactics of the Great August, reads, and enjoys lecturing and mentoring younger people.

Benditz starts as a Charioteer and is meant to stay one. Wheeled Warrior gives Hit+20 only while he is a charioteer, so promoting him out of the class throws that benefit away. The guide's class path is just Charioteer. HP and Dexterity growths are 50%, with Strength and Speed at 35%, and Bow and Riding are his proficiencies. The guide rates him C, in line with two of the three outside lists. Authority, Bow and Rider skills suit him; Infantry skills do not.

He joins in Part 1 and is open to all four lords.
