Available after completing the [[No Strings Attached]] quest, these wandering performers entertain crowds and confound their enemies with a customizable puppet known as an "[[Automaton|Automaton]]." This puppet uses different frames, maneuvers and attachments to do a variety of different tasks. Puppetmasters (PUP) can also fall back on [[Hand-to-Hand]] fighting skills that utilize the flexible movements of their art.

==Other Notes==
* Each time you gain a level on Puppetmaster be sure you [[Deactivate]] and [[Activate]] your [[Automaton|automaton]] so its new level stats will take effect.
* [[Deactivate|Deactivating]] your [[Automaton|automaton]] while it has full HP will reset the [[Activate]] timer to zero.  This will also refill the [[Automaton|automaton's]] [[MP]].
*Your [[Automaton|automaton]] will be automatically [[Deactivate|deactivated]] when entering an area or battlefield with an imposed [[Level Restriction]] or [[Confrontation]] status, at the beginning of a [[Besieged]] battle, when renting a [[Chocobo]] or, when you join a [[Level Sync]] party if it is not already at or below the [[Level Sync|Sync]] level.  
*When level restriction results in a puppetmaster's automaton being deactivated in a state of full or nearly full health, the ability [[Activate]] will become immediately usable.
* Your [[Automaton|automaton]] will not [[Deactivate]] if you [[Level Sync|re-sync]] to the same level since its level is still capped until reactivated.
* An [[Animator]] must be equipped to perform [[Maneuvers]].
* If you drop your starting [[Animator]], [[Iruki-Waraki]] will sell you a new one for 10,000 [[gil]].
* Before being able to use an [[:Category:Automaton Attachments|attachment]], you must first trade the attachment to [[Tateeya]] in [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]] to have it placed in the Automaton's inventory.
* [[:Category:Automaton Attachments|Automaton attachments]] must be equipped on your [[Automaton|automaton]] to receive the effects of the attachments when using elemental maneuvers. 
*[[Maneuvers]] will grant a bonus to the Automaton's stat associated with that element.
* The [[Soulsoother Head|Soulsoother Head]] can cast cures, regens and status removal spells on all members of the Puppetmaster's party. (The automaton and master will always have priority over other members.)
* In [[Salvage]] all pet's stats are locked with the master's. This means if your HP is locked, for example, your pet's HP is locked as well. Using a cell to remove a lock also removes the lock from the pet. This includes all cells- For PUP, the [[Automaton|automaton]] will not be able to cast spells if your magic is locked. (However, the [[Automaton|automaton]] needs no equipment to shoot and a ranged cell is not needed for ranged attacks.)
*In Abyssea, the [[automaton]] receives the effects of any [[atma|atmas]] on the master. However it does not receive the effects of [[cruor]] buffs.
*If you log off with your [[Automaton|automaton]] active, it will still be active the next time you log-in.
*[[Automaton]]s can now acquire the Subtle Blow trait.<br>
===Capacity Point/Job Points===
Each time you increase the level of a Job point category, it takes one more for the next time to increase it. I.E. tier 1 = 1 Job Point, tier 2 takes 2 JP, etc... up to a maximum of 20 increases. (For the Math freaks: It would take 210 Job Points spent to cap out any one category for 20/20)

===Animators===
The Animator is the integral part of communication between your character and the [[Automaton]] equipped in the [[Ranged]] slot of the player, you will not be able to do any "maneuvers" nor send any new commands to your Automaton. If you have already [[Deploy]]ed the automaton and sent it a command, then somehow had the Animator removed from your equipment slot (i.e. Iron Giant or Lamia TP move), the automaton will continue to do as it was told until you re-equip it and send new commands, or until the target is gone. It will still cast spells, and do TP moves without it equipped. It just won't do any 'newer' decisions until you tell it to.<br>
:* Note: The /ja [[Deploy]] will still work even if your Animator is not equipped; you will just not be able to do any Maneuvers to your robot pet.<br> 
[[Category:Animators]]<br>
[[Animator]] - ''Level 1''<br>
[[Turbo Animator]] - ''Level 40''<br>
[[Animator +1]] - ''Level 71''<br>
[[Deluxe Animator]] - ''Level 87''

Starting at level 99, the Animator's [[Item Level]] also determines the Automaton's base stats.

[[Forefront Animator]] - ''[[Item Level]] 106''<br>
[[Alternator]] - ''[[Item Level]] 113''<br>

==[[Automaton]]==
*When combining heads and frames the combat skill is calculated by adding the head's skill rank modifier to the frames skill rank. Each skill rank modifier point increases the skill cap to the next skill bracket i.e. an E would become a D but a B- would become a B.  For instance, combining the [[Valoredge Head]] with the [[Sharpshot Frame]] would increase the frames C+ skill rank by 1 resulting in a B- melee skill.

==[[Soulsoother Head]]/[[Spiritreaver Head]]==
*The [[Soulsoother Head|Soulsoother]] and [[Spiritreaver Head]] have a skill rank modifier of +2 magic skill, which when equipped with the [[Stormwaker Frame]] increases its skill cap to A+.  Similarly when equipped to the [[Harlequin Frame]] the magic cap is raised from B- to  B+.
 
<br>'''Note:''' ''[[Automaton]] skills can be raised even when Puppetmaster is selected as a subjob, but will be limited to the level of the subjob as with other sub-skills.''

With iLv 119 Animator skill cap is 434.
