Automaton Attachments

Attachment Usage and Storage[]

With Puppetmaster as either your main or sub-job, speak with Tateeya in the Automaton Workshop in Aht Urhgan Whitegate (I-7) for a quick explanation of how automaton attachments work. She will tell you to trade her attachments one at a time. This will permanently add the attachment as an option to equip to your automaton.

• There is no level requirement for using attachments.
• You can only have one of each attachment for your Automaton.
• Attachments do not take up any inventory space after they have been fitted to your Automaton.
• Once fitted, attachments can not be replaced, unfitted, dropped or destroyed. You will never need more than one of each.
• After you talk to Tateeya once, you do not need to be on Puppetmaster to trade her more attachments.
• If you try to trade her an attachment you've already fitted, she will not take the item and let you know she has already installed it.

Acquiring Attachments[]

All attachments can be bought from Yoyoroon or Rararoon at Nashmau (G-6). Rararoon's wares come with Puppetmaster job level requirements.

Although all attachments are available from vendors, adventurers can still acquire them from their historical sources. You can find attachments in the auction house under Other > Automaton.

• Many attachments can be synthesized via Alchemy or Goldsmithing.
• Hilltroll Puppetmasters.
• Imperial Standing Notorious Monsters.
• The level 60 solo ENM "Pulling the Strings."
• The Zeni Notorious Monster Ob.
• The Ashu Talif fight, Targeting the Captain.
• Certain Grounds of Valor zones.
• Imperial Gate Guards sell some attachments for 5000 Imperial Standing.
• All attachments can be bought and sold through the Auction House or Bazaars.

The list of attachments below will list all known sources of an attachment.

Equipping Attachments[]

The Automaton Equipment screen is found in the same area as your own character's equipment menu is, however, when you have Puppetmaster as either your main or sub-job, the Equipment option gives you two sub-menus, 'Master' and 'Automaton'. As you can see, the Automaton Equipment screen is much like that of your own character. However, there are only two type-based slots, Head and Frame. The twelve other slots are for Attachments of any kind, as long as the total amount equipped meets the requirements.

Each dot and the # / # beside it is your Automaton's elemental capacity. The first number is the total charge of Attachments of that element, and the second is the total charge that can be equipped at once. Different Automaton Attachments have different charges; lower ones can be equipped in greater numbers, and those with higher charges only a few.

Your Frame and Head determine not only your Automaton's HP/MP, skillcaps, and stats, but also its available elemental capacity.

If you try to Activate your Automaton with invalid elemental stats, (i.e. from changing frames/heads without changing attachments and receive something such as 5/3 ) then the game will tell you it cannot activate it due to incorrect elemental values.
