Puppeteering

Main / Skills / Toys / Puppeteering

Description

Puppeteering is the skill used to put on a show with puppets: Fo, Libila, Magranon, and Vynora puppet.

The higher your puppeteering skill, the more often you get the correct text lines in the right order in the show, displayed in the event window. The length of time that one puppet show takes also seems to increase with skill, from under 60 to over 90 seconds per show.

Method

Pick up two puppets, activate one, then right click the other > Puppeteer

or

Activate a puppet, let someone else activate a puppet too, then right click the other player > Puppeteer. The other player may have to take their weapon off and put the puppet in their hand.
