Details
Creating APCs
1. To first create an APC, you need to learn how to make it. This is done by buying a recipe from Abello.
- You only have to buy a recipe once.
- You can obtain recipes that are up to +2 levels than your current skill level.
2. Gather the required materials.
Two (sometimes three) materials are needed for creating an APC:
- Animate Spirit
- These can be obtained from your Soul Extractor or daily quests (tagged as [Special Job] in the quest log)
- Protein Oil
- These can be obtained from Alchemists or from your Soul Extractor.
- Other Materials
- The remaining items are gathered from other professions
3. From here, go the main menu and choose Profession.
4. Choose and display the APC you wish to create.
- If your Skill Level is less than the APC's Proper Skill Level (non-green text), you may fail the creation.
- If you fail the creation, your materials will be consumed regardless and no experience will be gained.
Using APCs
- Acts as a consumable item to be used in Dungeons.
- Summons an APC to accompany you in Dungeons and will fight accordingly.
- APCs will last for a duration of 15 minutes (900 seconds) or until the Player dies.
- Cooldown for most APCs lasts for 15 minutes with the exception of Delilah, which lasts only 5 minutes.
- You can only summon one APC per person per party. (i.e. You can't summon multiple APCs.)
- The max you could have out in a party of 4 would be 4 APCs; one per person.
- You CANNOT summon APCs in the Arena or the Valley of Fallen Souls.
- You CANNOT summon APCs in practice mode.
- APCs are worth 0 gold to NPCs.
- All APCs are interchangeable and tradable amongst all characters, and can even be dropped in Dungeons.
- APCs can be put up for sale in the Auction House.
- Most APCs levels will be the same as the required level to use the summon.
Disassembly
Animators get a special type of disassembler that cannot be set up as a shop. It will disassemble equipment items including creature equipments, and may give you Animate Spirits (and sometimes protein oils) of different quality and quantity depending on the level of item disassembled:
