Hey guys,

I just started pup, and had some attachment questions. I looked thru many threads trying to find any answers but was unable to.

So, I am going to first focus on the BLM pup (Spiritreaver) And I just wanted to get advice on attachments I should use. What things is a must, and some suggestions to fill empty spots. And also, can you mulitpul tiers of the same attachment? (IE: Loudspeaker I/II)

THanks for help guys

Research all the attachments from the link that lil posted and gear your automaton like you would your own job.

Don't buy a scanner though because its glitched. Really you should try to buy all the attachments if you can.. leveling just a mage puppet will get boring and the ranged one is really kick ***.

Different tier'd attachments will stack but you only need one of each. Your automaton has an elemental value and once you max out on that element you can't equip anymore attachments of that element.

Oh! And before I forget, in case you were wondering why attachments stack to 12, there is a quest involved with that.

If you get a stack of 12 of the same attachment you can turn them in to Ghatsad and you will get a random chance to have them turn into a key item that will automatically equip to your Automaton so that you no longer have to use a slot for it and it will always have the effect of 3 maneuvers active. If you get unlucky though you will lose all the attachments in the stack so make sure you trade them on the same weather day as the element you are trading for a higher success rate!

I have been a pup for 4 years and i never heard of such quest! :O I thought it was just the result of crafting them, I didnt realize 12 were good for something. Whats the name of the quest? I cant find any info about it on wiki. or a hidden quest?

Honestly sounds like a troll-attempt due to the weather\day thing :p
But I don't know anything about PUP sooo

Atma of the Ultimate
Atma of the Minikin Monstrosity
Atma of the ???

That last one I use to do beyond for the mab+/ice dmg+ effects, but the Automaton will use the highest tier nuke that is ready to be casted (which is normally Thunder V) OR the highest tier spell the AI believes will be most effective/unlikely to be resisted. So you could stick to Beyond, or change it to an atma that gives more MAB (Hell's Guardian I believe) or one that would increase the damage of the element that is most effective against the monster you're fighting.
