Final Fantasy XI: Puppetmaster Guide

This took a while to do and is the reason why there's not been many big uploads lately. This is an entry-level job guide for the Puppetmaster job in Final Fantasy XI. Among the many jobs I use in-game this is one I've always got on hand and is by far the one I've found the most engaging to play as. There is a lot of information to relay in regards to the Puppetmaster so I'll include time-stamps for the various sections here in this description. I couldn't for the life of me find an NPC to replay the WHM and BLM Automaton CS's, this is why they're not in the opening section.

As always, your feedback and comments are appreciated and I'll do my best to answer to them as soon as possible. Alternatively, the Puppetmaster community on FFXIAH is very active so if you shoot any questions their way I'm sure they'll answer promptly. On that note, I'd like to extend a special shout-out to some of the posters on that forum as their input has informed various parts of this guide.

Edit: I understand the volume may be a bit low in some sections, I'll look into it and see if I can stabilize the audio.
