==Description==
A partner machine, often abbreviated as PM, is a support machine assigned to each Guardian. A PM can be found in each [[My Room|player's room]]. 

PMs have several functions, including:
* Item storage (300 stacks of items or up to 500 stacks by using a [[Nanotranser X]]).
* [[Item Synthesis]].
* A list of various [[Synthesis Tips|synthesis tips]].
* [[My Room|Room]] features.
* [[Player Shops|Player shop]] cashier.
* Battle-usable partner character (fourth-stage only).

| Striking || Used in synthesizing Striking [[Weapons]].
|-
| Ranged || Used in synthesizing Ranged [[Weapons]].
|-

|-
| Battle Stat (B St) || A PM's efficiency in combat, caps at 200. <br>A requirement for EX Evolution Devices.
|}

===Item Storage===

PMs start with 300 inventory slots. Each [[Nanotranser X]] adds 50 extra inventory slots to your PM. Up to four devices can be used, thus increasing your PM's storage by 200 items. 

===Battle Stat. (B St)===

B St is raised through the completion of missions with the partner machine in the party. The mission's length and difficulty do not matter - the only determining factor is the rank achieved at the end of the mission:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
|-
! Completion Rank || % of a B St level raised
|-
| S || 24%
|-
| A || 15%
|-
| B || 10%
|-
| C || 5%
|}

=== Production Level ===
Striking, Ranged, TECH, and Armor are raised through the use of the ''Give item'' function. Select ''Give item'' from the ''P Machinery Function'' menu to show a list of items which the PM can consume. Each consumed item will [[Partner Machines#Feeding_Chart|raise and/or lower]] synthesis stats by a number of points. One hundred points equals one production level. Production level cannot be lowered without [[PM Device ZERO|resetting the PM]]. There is a limit to the number of items a PM can consume at one time: 

* If you feed a PM one item, its "fed" count raises by 1.
* Once a PM's "fed" count reaches 100 it becomes "full" and cannot be fed.
* At 0000 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time UTC], your PM's "fed" count returns to 0.

PMs will not accept synthesis boards, grinders, or presents. 

When the production level reaches twenty, fifty or eighty, the PM will evolve into a new form that varies according to the individual synthesis statistics. These distinct PM evolutions will be proficient at certain forms of [[Item Synthesis]]: striking, ranged, or TECHNIC weapons, or line shields, and these given specializations will receive an increase in the success rate of that type of synthesis.

The item [[PM Device ZERO]] is used to reset a partner machine: All of its statistics regress to 0 and it reverts to the model GH 101. However, items held in its storage, inserted synthesis boards and any [[Item Synthesis]] that has yet completed will remain untouched. PM Device ZERO is subject to the same conditions as other items given to a PM (it adds to the amount it has been "fed", and cannot be used if it is "full").

=== Partner Machines in Combat ===

When PMs evolve to their fourth stage, they will grant their owner their own [[Partner Card]], allowing them to be added to the party as [[partner characters]].

PMs have combat behavior and equipment based on each model. See each partner machine's article for more specific information. A partner machine's production level and its components (Striking, Ranged, TECH, Armor) do not have any effect in battle. Their character level is 10 higher than their owner's. 

As with all partner characters, only a party leader can call their partner machines into a party. Similarly, the PM is capable of taking damage, being incapacitated and self-reviving. They affect combat in the same way ordinary partner characters do. When in a party, PMs have the [[Photon Fortune]] of a CAST (female for GH 41X-46X, male for GH 470 and GH 480). However, since they cannot be the leader of a party, this doesn't affect the game in any way whatsoever.

== Evolutions ==

The three digits after the GH prefix refer to a PM's stage, series, and model, in that order. All PMs of the same series and same model are the same. For example, all GH 420s made from PM Device GH420s, EX Devices GH420s, GH 301s, or GH 302s, are the exact same GH 420.

PMs fed an upgrade device will change models. All evolution devices require a fourth stage PM, production level of eighty. 

Partner machine upgrade devices have a series requirement. A PM Device GH4yx will work on any PM in the y series, not allowing a PM to change series.

Partner machine extra upgrade devices have a B St requirement. A EX Device GH4yx will work on any PM with enough B St, allowing a PM to change series.

Partner machines will not accept devices to become themselves. A GH 4yx cannot be fed an EX Device GH4yx or PM Device GH4yx.

== Feeding Responses ==

No matter what the model or what stage of evolution it is, all partner machines have the same responses when feeding on an item, based on the item's star rarity or function.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
! Item Type !! Response
|-
| 1★-2★
| This doesn't taste very fresh...
|-
| 3★-4★
| It tastes... interesting.
|-
| 5★-6★
| Munch munch...
|-
| 7★-8★
| This could use a little salt.
|-
| 9★-10★
| A complex but bold flavor!
|-
| 11★-12★
| Mm! This is good!
|-
| 13★-14★
| I can't believe anything could taste this good!
|-
| 15★
| Ah...I'm so happy...
|-
| [[PM Device]] and [[EX Device]]
| Mm! Tasty!

==Feeding guide==

Here are feeding guidelines for raising a level 100 Partner Machine in each discipline. It should be noted that the costs listed below can often be reduced by feeding items to your PM that you have found whilst in missions; these are just intended as an indicator of how to feed the Partner Machine, and the upper expected cost if all items are purchased from the NPC.

===Ranged Partner Machine===

The most efficient way to feed a Ranged Partner Machine is with [[Traps|EX Traps]]. These will allow you to feed up to 20 levels a day and you do not need to feed any supplementary items. There are two ways to achieve this:

Easy way: Buy 100 [[Traps|EX Traps]] a day from an NPC vendor at a cost of 45,000 a day; this will result in an overall cost no higher than 225,000 Meseta.<br>
Cheaper way: Synth 100 [[Traps|EX Traps]] a day by buying EX trap boards (300), [[Ether Acid]] (200 each) and [[Synthesis Ingredients#Food|Berries]] (50 each) for a total of 2,800 Meseta per ten traps, 28,000 a day and an overall cost of no higher than 140,000. This does involve a lot more interaction and will take significantly more time per feeding session.

===Armor Partner Machine===

The most efficient way to feed an Armor Partner Machine is with clothing. This will allow you to feed up to 22 levels a day and you do not need to feed any supplementary items.

To achieve this, head to [[ROAR ROARS]] on Moatoob or [[MIYA-B]] on Neudaiz, and buy [[Vatavara Boots]] or [[Waiwad Boots]] or [[Kouze Shoes]] - these are all 10★ and cost 2,000 Meseta each. This will result in a daily cost of 200,000 Meseta for the first four days, giving 88 levels; on the fifth and final day a cost of 110,000 for 55 clothing units. This leads to an overall cost of no more than 910,000 Meseta.

===Striking Partner Machine===

Raising a Striking Partner Machine is a little more complex than Ranged or Armor. The easiest way to achieve a level 100 Striking Partner Machine is to simply feed it 2★ Striking Weapons from the NPC at 800 Meseta each, for a grand total of 80,000 Meseta per day. This will give you 8 levels per day, so will take 13 days to reach level 100 at a cost of no more than 1,000,000 Meseta (100 weapons for the first 12 days, and the final day only needs 50 2★ weapons).

This cost can be reduced by feeding consumables alongside the striking weapons. Consumables give points in both Striking and TECH, so it is recommended to feed consumables until the TECH bar is at about 80% of the way to level 1, and then feed exclusively Striking weapons to bring the TECH bar back down again. When buying from a vendor, a Dimate will give +6 to striking for 150 Meseta, compared to +8 to striking for 800 meseta on a 2★ weapon. As a result your feeding pattern should look something like this:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Feed !! Striking gain !! TECH gain !! Cost
|-
| [[Dimate]] x20 || 1.2 || 0.4 || 3,000 
|-
| [[Weapons|2★ Striking Weapon]] x40 || 3.2 || -0.4 || 32,000 
|}

This feeding pattern will stagger across multiple days so you might find that some days you feed 40 or 60 Dimates, and some days you feed mainly striking weapons, but averaged out this will cost no more than 795,000 Meseta to feed a pure Striking Partner Machine from NPC items alone.

===TECH Partner Machine===

The process for raising a TECH Partner Machine is very similar to the Striking one. Your methods should be either to feed all 2★ TECH Weapons at 800 Meseta each for a total cost of 80,000 a day and 1,000,000 Meseta overall; or to feed consumables and 2★ weapons. However, the benefit of consumables is much diminished with a TECH bot as a consumable's primary stat is to Striking, and TECH receives much less. A feeding pattern for a TECH bot would look like this:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Feed !! TECH gain !! Striking gain !! Cost
|-
| [[Dimate]] x10 || 0.2 || 0.6 || 1,500 
|-
| [[Weapons|2★ TECH Weapon]] x60 || 4.8 || -0.6 || 48,000 
|}

This feeding pattern will only save about 10,000 Meseta compared to the all TECH weapons method above.

===What rarity to feed?===

Feeding a Partner Machine isn't an exact science, and the above is only intended as a guideline to help you get started feeding your Partner Machine. However, there are a couple of cost/benefit calculations to consider when feeding a Striking or TECH Partner Machine:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Weapon rarity !! Cost per unit !! Striking gain !! Levels per day !! Cost per level
|-
| 1★ || 350 || +4 || 4 || 8,750
|-
| 2★ || 800 || +8 || 8 || 10,000
|-
| 3★ || 2,000 || +12 || 12 || 16,666
|}

When finding rarer weapons in missions, if you want to use them for your Partner Machine it is almost always worth NPCing the item and spending that money on 2★ weapons. For instance, when raising a TECH bot if you find a Majimra in a mission, this will give +36 to TECH when fed to your Partner Machine, or if it was sold and the money spent on NPC weapons you would get +80 from 2★ TECH weapons from the NPC and still have a little change left over.
