Add skill up books for automaton combat skills

[jasnekholin]

Every other combat skill in the game now has books to use for skill ups, let's not leave our automaton friends behind!

[Gwydion]

I agree, +1.

[Uriah]

As much as I agree there should be books for it, I would prefer to eliminate the need for the automaton to skill up at all. Wyverns don't skill up. Jugs don't skill up. Avatars don't skill up.

Skilling up my automaton's skills was soooo gosh darn easier than leveling up my own, even before any books came out.
Use the correct attachments and maneuvers and your robot buddy will skill up VERY fast when deployed.

forgive me if i take VERY fast with a grain of salt, you only have percolator and water maneuvers. your automaton doesn't benefit from skill up food, rhapsody bonuses, or master equipment.

There are other things that affect the skill up rate on attachments other than just water and percolator, such as how, what, when it casts spells.
Also can affect how often, which type, what target, type of spells, etc... by use of maneuvers and attachments.
I had to figure all that out the first few weeks PUP came out before we HAD any info online.
Play, try, adjust, take notes, etc... and you'll see how easy it is to control the robot with what you use and do.
The order you use maneuvers, and how MANY maneuvers you use HIGHLY affects how your robot reacts and casts spells. Also remember the types of Animator affects commands, too.
Give it a try and experiment and don't just blindly use internet for help.
That's how I had to do it, but I am patient enough to teach myself stuff and learn by observation and note taking, and not just blindly follow the web that is not as helpful as it can be.

Perhaps in 75 or 99 days, but have you tried recently on i-level content? :/

Yeah and as Sp1cy said.... stop exp-burning up your job and actually PLAY the job by exploring, and playing the game, not having it stand around and gain exp and no other skills improved other than watching the screen.
And remember, just like trusts, whenever you level up, your robot does not level up UNTIL you [Deactivate] and re-[Activate] it, but still needs to be used, [Deploy]ed, etc... to gain skills. That usually involves interaction with the keyboard or controller, but merc-payers rarely do that after they get to the payout party place.

Woah there, don't tell the player that they are their own responsibility. They won't accept that or be happy. Now you are just some person full of "hatred" that needs to "grow up" or whatever other nonsense people say because someone said no.

Practice what you preach. When was the last time you paired up with another PUP player? You probably wouldn't also play with another PUP, unless you two were duo'ing something, right? So, let's hear it. What was your experience playing with other PUPs? What job did you go as? How did you contributed to their game-playing experience?

That's right. You didn't. You don't. You just want new PUPs to have the same difficult, frustrating experience you did. If new players have it any easier than you, then that somehow diminishes you? Give me a break.

You are just gate-keeping content to continue separating you from newer players or people who want to try a new job, skill-up books doesn't diminish that. You're just afraid that if more PUPs exist, that some how diminishes you? Please. Don't act like you're playing the game on some moral high-ground, when you just want to keep new players are far away from your progression, so you can maintain an elitist attitude.

When new players or job-experimenters come around, why would they play with you, if you have this awfully uncooperative attitude? Poor collaborators like you are why people would rather stare at the screen for skill-ups or use books, than suffer the indignity of playing with an grumpy, downtrodden elitist.

It must be really lonely up there on your pedestal, Spicy.
