puppet stuff

[Sudai]

Does anyone know how to get a Lamp Miramo, I can't find any info on it. :/

[Stilgar]

Fishing, maybe. A marimo is a kind of algae.

I'm going to be testing out the mage type puppet today, I'm only level 14 and after a few mobs I've seen it cast Stone, Water, Paralyze and Blind so far as well as Poison and Cure which it was doing before anyway.

Ah... I guess I spam them too fast then XD

Calling your puppet, zoning, etc seems to reset the overload to 0 ... so if you do that, then use a manneauver, they will immediately overload.

The good side of that is, zoning clears all negative buffs on the puppet (poison, etc)

Incorrect, calling them makes their overload with all elements increase, and zoning does not reset it at all.

The only real way to alleviate it is to just rest for a while. In exp it wouldn't be so bad since you could rest between fights (little guy doesn't lose TP while resting iirc) and the overload should not be as bad.

Btw heatsink is good for the DD ones, it makes overloading fire maneuvers harder to do, which is very nice.

Ranger puppet doesn't need arrows apparently.

Can anyone confirm/deny mage puppet curing party members as well as their puppeteer?

I asked my friend. He said it only heals itself tne the puppetmaster.

The spells your puppet casts seems to be based off how high your magic skill is (the automaton's of course) .. and cure is around 15 skill.

[Nuriko]

I don't think it's magic skill, though could be. At level 17 my puppet suddenly started casting Slow and Aero before its skill had gone up any further. If it is level based, there does not seem to be any consistancy between what level it learns a spell compared to what level any other job learns said spell.

At 17 Mage Type it has cast: Dia, Bio, Poison, Blind, Cure, Paralyze, Slow, Stone, Water, Aero.

It seems to be smart in the elemental chart. Fighting a ton of worms it didn't once cast Stone on them, just Aero and Water.

Mana Converter seems to be a pretty good automation for mages. It's almost like Convert. It suddenly looses some HP and starts gaining 10mp/tick. The only downside to it was it used it at the start of a fight before I had any real hate on the mob so it pulled a noob RDM in using Mana Converter then getting killed the next hit.

The guys are smart, the DD one used Shield Bash to stop a bomb toss for my girlfriend when she was exping off of Gobs in valk at Lv14.

I am kinda wondering about magic though. My gf got to 10 and it never once used cure, but mine cured me and himself multiple times. Then again maybe she never let their HP get as low as I did <.<

Forgive him, he was probably nailing a hot chick as he typed that.

My puppet's magic skill is at lvl 9 and I'm a lvl10 PUP. My puppet is still only casting Dia. I'm going to try lvl it up soon so I'll let you know at what magic skill it starts casting other stuff.

[Nuriko]

Well, I thought I was sure spells were level based, but as soon as my puppet's magic skill hit 57 it started using Silence and I was half way through level 18 I think. It's only going to be harder for me to tell now I think since it's magic skill is capped so new spells will come around same time as new levels probably. Anyway, it also started casting Cure II around level 17. Nothing new other than those and I just hit 20. Word of advice, the automation that prioritizes Cure actually works out better than the Regen one as it will often cast a Cure after you use a Light Maneuver if it has low HP.

[Enitsu]

I'm at 54 magic skill.. haven't seen CureII or even an attack spell off the mage frame. >.> What gives.

[Nuriko]

Hmm, you are using Deploy right? It won't do anything unless you send it to attack something.

It hurts me inside that you accused me of this. I'm like fucking Geppetto in this bitch.

It turns out it was because I had Scanner on, so since it didnt know the spell that the worm was weak to (Aero) it wasn't using any attack magic at all.

[Nuriko]

Haha sorry, meant no offense, honestly couldn't think of any other reason D:

What exactly does Scanner do? Don't think I've seen that one before.

[Khamsin]

Occasionally detects mob weakness.

Shield Bash surprised me, too. I got the melee puppet and its a pretty good tank at this level. Having voke, flash, stoneskin, etc. all make soloing extremely easy.. at least, during these levels.

[Nuriko]

Ah, I should look into getting one of those, probably useful for mage type.

I'm 22 now and the best nuke I've seen is Fire. Although I'm scared to try this in a real pt against IT's as it's been fairly low damage overall against the EM-VT worms I've been fighting all day. Hopefully PUP/MNK or PUP/WAR will be ok damage to counter and weak nukes the puppet throws out.
