    My first tech character just got the skill neded to make one, but I don't know how to use it.

    It's folded in my inventory. It can't be used, and if I drop it, it stay folded.

    throw it by dragging it to the window you click on to exit the inventory.

    gargob...............

    Never built one them things so thanks for the info. You just throw it on the ground and it fights for you? Any other items the same way?

    Thanks

    the automaton schematics can be found in blackroot (ashbury?) either way it can be reached by way of train from tarant, you have to fight one first, but i defeated it at level 6 so its not the biggest problem, you just need smithy skill to build it in addition to mechanical skill

    Par, you can also equip it to a quickslot to use it. Be careful, however, for sometimes it disappears, but the space it takes up and the weight is stuck in your inventory, but you can't use it! :x

    And, Sleek, it is in Ashbury, and you don't HAVE TO fight that automaton; you can just stick near the wall and sneak.

    I tried staying close to the wall but a party of 10 has a hard time staying in line and sombody triggers the box. I know I could have them wait but..... thats the easy way out eh!

    Anyways, get used to that Automaton, cuz there will be alot more later on.

    That may qualify as a spoiler, but I didn't say any names, so...

    quite a bit over $1000! the steam engine can go to $1500, I think, and large gears are around $500. Also, you hafta make the Elite Plate, and the parts are hard to find and expensive.

    Agreed, but those Poison Arachnids can be a pain if they get a bite.
