Automaton (Final Fantasy XI)

Automatons are the mechanical pets of Puppetmasters in Final Fantasy XI. They can be summoned into battle once every 20 minutes. They can only be called if the zone is one where combat can occur, that is, only outside of cities with the exception of Al Zhabi.

Automaton Roles
Automatons can have 3 distinctly different chassis. Each chassis has a different statistical set. The Valoredge X-900 excels at melee combat and is the most likely to be able to tank with any effectiveness. The Sharpshot Z-500 chassis excells at ranged combat. Finally, the Stormwaker Y-700 is a magic using chassis.

The chassis themselves are kind of like jobs for the puppet. Stats and abilities vary between the three chassis. Also, the type of chassis determines what type of attachments can be installed in the puppet.

Automaton Names
When finishing the quest to become a puppetmaster, a player gets an option to what they would like to name their automaton. Below are the lists. Initially only List 1 is available, but a player can then earn access to the other lists, 2 through 4.
