Add skill up books for automaton combat skills

[Gwydion]

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.

Automaton magic skill-up is objectively harder, especially in i-level content, since pets only received Magic Evasion updates this past February. Jobs with pets require a randomly-timed static update, whenever Square Enix feels like it.

There's also a seething hatred in your months late reply. So, who hurt you? Was it the mercs? Damn those mercs. Or was it just the people who choose to play the game as they see fit, and oh, it just so happens to different from how you'd like them to play? Damn them too. No, wait. Grow up!

Well i did have a GM report filed against me for proving someone they were a liar (this "person" likes to file blanket reports on bots every day), and I leveled up PUP the first day it came out and then many other times with Sp1cy when we were doing Abyssea and other stuff (even though he had me also go as WHM, BLM, and THF a few times when needed).
Also I figured out how to play PUP, and took own notes, all before there WAS anything online for PUP players to refer to, and wrote over 75% of the info on ffxiclopedia for information about using PUP before anyone else had stuff. And I remember playing solo in Mount Zhaylom fighting crawlers and trolls and linking and tanking them as PUP-robot-Fellow, while there were parties of people there getting wiped with just one target, and everyone even back then used to say i was an idiot and lolpup for using the job.
So yes i can get rightfully salty when people are trying to shortcut and be lazy leveling up a job (not just PUP), when I had to do it without any help, and no in-game gimmicks.
That's my two cents...
