No Pup Lvl +101

smn gets it why cant a new animator gives us a call auto with 101 skill?

106 Forefront Animator
?_?

Forefront Animator makes auto 106.
Alternator makes auto 113.

We actually got it before Summoners.

this a joke?

To be fair, I don't think they ever explicitly stated (at least in the patch notes) that the new animators provided an automaton stat boost related to their ilevel in the same way that polearms, BST axes, and SMN ammo do. All that info was derived by players when Delve came out.

Puppetmaster (Automaton)
Automaton attributed will increased based on the level of the animator equipped.

July 9th update notes.

But with the new animators they do get a heavy boost to all stats to put them up with the ilevels. Forefront animator gives +45 to all stats +130 to hp and mp, still doing testing on macc matk racc ratk acc and atk. Likewise the alternator gives some crazy boosts to stats as well. +70 to all stats according to those i know that have it. Still need it for myself for testing.

There's already been a ton of research on the Alternator from when it first came out.

Most if not all the testing can be found here:

I haven't seen much testing at all for Forefront Animator, but I would imagine it's something like 65%~70% of all alternator's mab/acc/eva/attk/etc across the board.

oh. sorry didnt see we had it O_O my bad put the guns away lol

i hear about the 70 to each stats but didnt know about the lvl change

Also cant seem find anyone to let me in or show me about delve without having a delve weapon so until reg ppl play delve and not just jerks i guess i wont be gettin an alternator lol.

Ya those stupid jerks wanting to try their best bet at a successful run.Ya know, you can build a run yourself with no weapon requirements.

only ive never done delve before so have no idea how its played so until i find a ls or beginner shout i dont see it happending

on other events i tried the whole leader thing and i know now its not my thing lol. so rather then making a noob run i wait in the shadows.

and by shadows i mean i say *** em and play Monstosity lol.

Forefront Animator can be purchased with bayld if Delve NMs are out of the question.

You have SCH and 95COR, and you are teling me you can't get into a Delve run?!

I am guessing no magic skill/gear and doesn't have rolls. lol

With the update most of the 'elitists' are killing the fracture bosses for plasm and gear now. And with the weapon buffs delve is more accessible than ever. A plasm weapon is standard, but for MNK a Forefront Cesti should be more than enough to start you off in delve. It's 30k Bayld from the npc.

I would also recommend taking your COR to 99. You'll have a better chance on COR to get in a plasm farm regardless of gear. You'll just have to make sure you have your rolls. I think you mostly use Chaos and Hunters for typical farming? Not sure.

Delve can be scary if you've never done it before. But actually participating isn't too hard.

You should be able to join any shout asking for COR. All you really need to do is run around and buff your party. The Bards can pull/sleep.

With Monk you just follow your party and attack the same mob, The only thing to keep in mind is not to attack the NMs which is only really an issue at the beginning before plds pull them away.

I would say your best bet is COR though, Just whenever you see a shout I'd just ask if you can join. You may still have some people refuse but just keep asking different people when they shout and you'll get in. It should take you 4~7 runs to have enough plasm to get your Rigor H2H, then after that it'll get even easier to join on MNK to get points for your alternator.
