Question regarding inviting masters to hideout.

The wiki says that stage one of the hideout lets you invite two masters and that stage 5 allows you to invite 4 masters.

The wiki also says that Zana and Leo are free and do not affect master count. I have these two in my hideout. My hideout is Zana's.

For my stage one I was only able to invite 1 master. For stage 5 I was only able to invite two more masters.

What am I missing? Is it that Zana or Leo count towards master invites?

Leo is free... Zana is not. Navali is free too.

did you offer them marshmallows and ginger ale?

Everything depends on level of master which created your hideout.

Hideout will hold 2 masters if you asked master of level 3.
It will hold 4 masters if your hideout is created by lvl 5 master.
It will hold all of them if it is created by lvl 7 master.

You HO also doesn't scale automatically when the master get the necessary level, you have to recreate it manually by speaking to him again.

Edit:
Only Leo and Navali are not counted towards this limit.

The wiki says.

"

Leo and Zana does not count towards the master limit.

Is this correct?

Nope. Someone mistook Zana (maps) for Navali (prophecy).

I don't see where you're quoting from. The wiki says Leo and Navali.

Under the hideout section here. If you ctrl + F for Zana it will highlight the portion I was referring to.

Now I see it... should be changed.
