Description
A partner machine, often abbreviated as PM, is a support machine assigned to each Guardian. A PM can be found in each player's room.
PMs have several functions, including:
- Item storage (300 stacks of items or up to 500 stacks with Nanotranser X).
- A training mission.
- Item synthesis.
- A list of various synthesis tips.
- Room features.
- Player shop cashier.
- Being a battle-usable partner character (fourth-stage only).
Statistics
| Stat Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Striking | Used in synthesizing Striking weapons. |
| Ranged | Used in synthesizing Ranged weapons. |
| TECH | Used in synthesizing TECHNIC weapons. |
| Armor | Used in synthesizing line shields. |
| Production Level | The sum of the four stats above, caps at 100. PM evolution occurs as this rises. |
| Battle Stat (B St) | A PM's efficiency in combat, caps at 200. A requirement for EX Evolution Devices. |
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:
| 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 raise and/or lower synthesis stats by a number of points. One hundred points becomes one production level. Production level cannot be lowered without 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.
- If a PM has not been fed for 12 hours ("full" or not), its "fed" count resets 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, and these given specializations will receive an increase in the success rate of that type of synthesis. No partner machine model can specialize in the production of line shields.
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 to complete 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 machines' 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 a EX Device GH4yx or PM Device GH4yx.
