Overdrive is the Puppetmaster's special job ability in Final Fantasy XI. It significantly increases all status parameters of the user's automaton.
Mechanics[]
When used, Overdrive augments the fighting ability of the user's automaton pet, increasing its base stats and being bestowed Haste for 3 minutes. In addition, the chances for the pet to Overload becomes zero when the ability is active, allowing the user's automaton to perform attacks without risks. If the automaton is currently overloaded, it will recover more quickly, but Overdrive does not make it instantly go away. It can be recast every 1 hour.
The stat boosts can later be increased by 5 points at level 99 with each Job Points upgrade, allowing for the player to upgrade the effects up to 20 times.
Once the player allocates 2100 JP to achieve "Master" ranking, the recast time of Overdrive is decreased by 15 minutes, allowing the ability to be used every 45 minutes.
