Talk: Puppet Master Solo guide

Revision as of 10:54, 8 July 2010

Couldn't help but notice that yours is the only page I've ever seen a clear description for the Tactical Processor. Exactly how correct is the statement? I'd gladly acknowledge a reason to let the attachment stop collecting dust. --Coronawolf 01:10, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Instead of impede on your current works (its so neat, don't want to make it messy lol) I'd like to share a bit of experience from my recent adventures, since the new level cap increase - I found myself doing just about everything solo on pup even before the level cap adjustment. So since the new addition I have moved around various zones to go for new-found skill ups and testing mettle against all kinds of mobs. When I saw myself ding level 76 I saw my skills appear grey once more, this made me frown (perfectionist in me I suppose, heh) so I set out to do some grinding, here is where I went.

76~78 -> Cape Terrigan, page 5 spamming on Sand Cockatrice and Greater Manticore. (with /nin) In this camp I found it difficult to focus on Valoredge and Sharpshot frames to increase skills, due to the lack of support and curing that you get with your Stormwaker/Soulsoother combo. I had to rely on my Tactics/Signal Pearl for my npc for support on multiple occasions because you do take *alot* of damage if you don't time your Flashbulbs when you recast spells. Ofcouse this may be a problem for some users, as not everyone has a level 70 npc that can cure you.

Take advantage of the PUPs evade by stacking up asmuch Evasion+ gear as you can, despite the level of these mobs their accuracy is horrible given the proper equipment. (Antares Harness, Emperor/Empress Hairpin, Hades Sainti are noteable items)

79~80 -> Ro'Meave, page 4/5 with Apocalyptic/Infernal Weapons and Darksteel Golems. (again with /nin) Starting out I got my npc to assist me with support while I had my Valoredge out (again, may be a issue with those without a npc available to them) the weapons are very straight forward and require less work then the Greater Manticores and Sand Cockatrices due to the fact that - Weapons only have 2 WS's which are easily disabled with a well timed Flashbulb, the only problem with them is their low delay as it makes it difficult to time recasts without interruption. The Darksteel Golems are even easier to approach in some respect, they have a much longer delay between their attacks but they use alot of elemental moves so almost makes Utsu casting pointless.

- - - a suggestion on-top of all this Ro'Meave business as-well, invest in some Jack-o'Lanterns and if possible a Undead Earring (damn rare though!) to take advantage of Arcana Killer, intimidation ftw.

Can't stress enough about getting ahold of evasion equipment where possible, the accuracy of all the monsters is horrible if your evasion is capped and you have additional items to further boost it.

Food for thought for those who stick it out solo!
