Skill up Books for Automaton

[Sicycre]

Hello, everyone.

While we understand how great it would be to have automaton skill books, it would not be so cut and dry as the other books that are available. For these books to work as they should, information needs to be taken from the automaton, which means that you would need to have your automaton out in order to use these books. This would be inconvenient as you would be unable to use them on the spot like you can with the current skill books.

Regarding food, it's actually quite difficult to apply these kind of effects to your automaton buddy.
Instead, we've implemented the Percolator attachment that allows the following: "Functionality: Increases skill gain rate." The Percolator has extremely high stats compared to food so we highly recommend using this automaton attachment.

We hope this helps and we encourage more feedback concerning this topic about our automaton friends.

Solution: Add Sparks Vendors to Crystal War cities and sell automaton skillbooks only there.

While I do see the percolator as being strong in comparison to some foods/skill up armor, you are forgetting how slowly and infrequently Automatons cast spells. This is what takes so long to skill up.

So yes, the Percolator attachment does help, but it doesn't come close to fixing the problem of how slow the Magic Skill levels up.

Why not just make the Automaton skill up books unusable if the pet is not out? Other abilities in the game will not fire and give a message "This ability requires a pet".
