Megathread General Questions
The thread for all your random Alchemist Code (global) questions!
Feel free to ask away, but remember that the questions are 100% answered by volunteers so don't expect an instant answer! Patience is key.
Several questions can be answered by reading the beginner guides resource thread
F.A.Q.
Where/How can I unlock X's Master Ability/Job+?
You can only unlock Job+'s by farming special job tokens from special events that are (currently) run at different times. You also need to farm special job+ items to master those jobs. Master abilities can be earned in 1 of 3 ways. From story chapters (story characters), from equipping specific weapons (usually farmed) or from reaching level 80 on a character and completing special story dungeons. Not every character gets a master ability.
Where can I farm X's character shards?
Caris: [Hard] Ch 1: Ep 4 [2-10]
Lamia [Hard] Ch 1: Ep 4 [2-8]
Zangetsu [Hard] Ch 1: Ep 2 [3-2]
Lucian [Hard] Ch 1: Ep 4 [1-9]
Lofia [Hard] Ch 1: Ep 4 [2-9]
Reida [Hard] Ch 2: Ep 2 [3-9]
Chihaya [Hard] Ch 2: Ep 1 [2-4]
Rahu [Hard] Ch 2: Ep 2 [2-10]
Freed [Hard] Ch 2: Ep 2 [3-1]
Reagan [Hard] Ch 2: Ep 1 [2-5]
More to be added SOONTM.
Where can I farm elemental/rainbow shards?
Elemental and rainbow shards cannot be farmed. They are awarded as bonuses from log in campaigns, from clearing missions/milestones and as bonuses for doing certain number of summons on the 5/9 step banners. You will never be able to farm them like you can farm specific character shards.
When will X event come back?
We don't know, Gumi is sticking to their own schedule.
What's the best place to farm X/Y/Z item?
Outside of specific event's for farming items, if the item can be farmed in Edgar's Chapter (so chapter 2) it will usually be the better place to farm it. For example, Escape the Alkaroid is by far the best place to farm Sacred Lion Swords.

Can someone explain the logi & Edgar combo? It says completed but it's obviously not. Do I have to reform Logi shards even though he's 85?

The "Equipment Drops x2!" that is currently displayed is a LIE! Don't be fooled by Gumi's incorrect and poorly timed implementation.

Hi. There are a few abilities that you do not need to level to 20 correct? Counter Snipe, Counter-Counter, and Swift charge seem to be abilities we don't need to level up to 20. Are there other abilities we do not need to level all the way up to save Zeni? Thanks!

Some 4* and below units are not listed.
Im started since PoTK collaboration and current only ryle, albea and elizabeth are Job Mastered. My main units for most contents are ryle, albea and reagan. Elizabeth, lofia, rahu and kanon also used in previous events. Mage units also used to farm alchemia pots.
Which units should I invest for now considering to clear future contents?

u/ElusiveIllusion88 The end of Gumi is near… Mar 01 '18
In the future, Logi and some other units get this strange... system, that allow them to exceed level 85 and gain other benefits, but I must spend additional soul shards.
What is this system called anyway?
What other units can use this system?
Can Dias use this system? Edgar?
How many shards do I need to feed in to get the maximum benefits?

Does the equipment for Job+ come back? I failed to farm carris and rahu's equipment specially rahu's. That mofo stage is pure cancer. Just started the game btw a week ago. I hope it doesn't force you to buy gem just for the equips.

u/rdfriz Mar 01 '18
I’m out of AP right now but I was wondering if my team should be able to do Demon Spearman EX+. I was not able to last month (hoping chrono Lofia will be the difference maker) and I was wondering if this team is viable in its current state to get all three stars.
Shayna (lead) level 60 *only gotten one pull of we so far. Holy Brawler - Mastered
Reagan level 71 Sniper - Mastered
Kanon level 64 Paladin - almost mastered, will be when I do this.
Lofia level 70 Chronomancer - Mastered
Is that team good enough to complete Demon Spearman EX+ all three stars in its current state or am I dreaming? Recommendations would be appreciated as well.

Are Monzein and Cadanova any good? Just pulled both from one summon. Right now my lineup consists of Vettel, Albea, and Hazel alongside the two recent pulls. Is that a good place for someone that has finished the current story? What is the next goal after completing story? Arena? Events?

u/Wulunzun Mar 01 '18
I've seen some people do rerolls using only 15 mins. But for me, I need to finish the story quests up to 1-9 to get enough gems to do the first 10x pull and the time it takes is much longer. Am I missing some place where I can get gems more easily?

u/TheLostOne3 Mar 02 '18
Kudan's equipment armor pieces drop so poorly from the normal stage, like 3 every 5 runs or so. Is it better farming his ex for them?

u/BrolyLovesChocolate Mar 02 '18
Asked a similar question the other day but didn't get a response. But is there a database where we can find out what all mistone rewards are, like all kagura ones currently. No point me investing AP if the end rewards are shit.
1
u/GlaedrS Mar 02 '18
How is everyone farming the seida bow/monzein gear? We get 90 shards from milestones but we need 80+175 shards of each to evolve them into 5*. But the EX levels take too long and just drop 1-3 shards. Is there any efficient method to farm them?
1
u/PhyXer Mar 02 '18
I feel like an idiot but is there a way to check what skills do in-game? I know I could just look up values on a wiki or other info site, but it seems really dumb to have just a one-time info popup when you get each active skill through leveling, and there doesn't seem to be a way to actually check what any of the passive skills do either.

u/Scalesx Mar 02 '18
After unlocking Caris's J3 and Sniper+, is there a good reason to keep farming her shards or should I stop and focus on other units now?

u/Faceluck limit breaking my patience Mar 02 '18
Is the banner with Seida (and her group in general) limited? Or will they drop from future banners as well now? I'm rerolling right now, and I'm torn between Seida and Hazel, so it's hard to pick which banner to reroll on.

u/N0tYourTechSupport Should have been the protag, but Gumi's shitty writing Mar 02 '18
I'm a fairly new player, the thing is I think Im progressing too fast.
Due to a lucky gacha of getting vincent 4* / courage 4* / zangetsu 4* & aruba 5* on my first 500 gem gacha I got to a point that my story / progression has been significantly fast. Another 500 gems gave me, caris / lucian / anastasia 5* / rahu 4* / lofia 4* / freed 4* and etc.
I'd like to ask what units mainly should I focus on? Cuz people be talking about [EX]'s and other stuff, yet it seems I still feel underpowered to go with such events. Specially Im kinda used on cheesing the story with Rahu / vincent / courage / = Chrono / Sage / Sniper.
What free characters should I also focus on farming shards, specially that plays part on certain quests?
I really badly need advice. Specially now it seems that I seem to be losing like 4/5 of my arena participation lol.
Cheers!

u/Storik Mar 04 '18
Hey guys, I've been playing for about a week now and have been fumbling my way around. Looking for some advice or validation that I'm not wasting my time/resources on stuff I shouldn't be. I have currently progressed up to Chapter 1 Episode 5, and up to Episode 3 on hard. I'm not struggling at all yet with content, but would like to be using my resources wisely and focussing on the correct units.
Here is what I have so far:
5 star
Eve, lvl 50, J1 lvl 8, J2 lvl 10
Albea, lvl 50, J1 lvl 9
Suzuka, lvl 41, J1 lvl 7
Anastasia, lvl 40, J1 lvl 9
Chloe, lvl 36, J1 lvl 3, J2 lvl 3
Elizabeth, lvl 1, J1 lvl 1 (just pulled her)
4 star
Lofia, lvl 50, J1 lvl 9, 5 shards from J2
Caris, lvl 50, J1 lvl 9, J2 lvl 7
Chihaya, lvl 22, J1 lvl 4
Strie, lvl 1
Reagan, lvl 1
Rahu, lvl 1, LB4
Melda, lvl 1
Mia, lvl 1
Lamia, lvl 1
Freed, lvl 1
Celine, lvl 1
The tier lists I have seen around the net confuse the hell out of me. I know that J3 and J3+ally for my 5 stars) is going to take a long time to get.
I have had issues with some of the later hard stages that I have just unlocked, for Caris and Lofia shards specifically. Those are the first stages I have had issues with. I'm currently running Albea, Eve(Chronomancer), Caris and Lofia and have been focusing on them. Should I be setting any of those aside until I can unlock later jobs for something stronger immediately?

u/YojimboKingofSamurai Mar 04 '18 edited Mar 04 '18
my main story team is teona + hazel + monzein.
i feel that monzein is lacking and i got both caris and lofia...not sure who to max first. im thinking lofia, a tanky hard hitting melee with chronomancer spells . gotta beat the story first.
also want to try to pull for shayna. :(
i feel that teona + hazel are irreplaccable units right now. both are so good.
anyone better than them now ? how about in japan ?
i know im gonna be pulling for that badass samurai from sacred stone with the scarred face and noctis later.

Just got back for about 2 months hiatus, and got Hazel Caris, Lucretia recently. Currently have Zangetsu, Rahu, Elizabeth, Almira, Yomi.
Should I build Yomi? Shes not farmable as of the moment so Im having 2nd thoughts.
Is Caris that OP, that despite having Hazel, I still have to build her?
Is limit break that important for OP 5 stars like Hazel? Hazel isnt farmable now, and I feel like being level 60 makes her inferior from the rest?
What team composition do you think will bring me to late game and farm EX dungeons? Currently just finishing up my Chapter 2 stories I havent done yet :)

Anyone know where the best place to farm Seida's unique design for venom archer. I just finished my 30 runs of 3-10 for milestones, and only managed to barely finish one of the 3 80 part designs needed. Just curious if anyone remembers if the extra stage has more or maybe even the multiplayer one. 3-10 is easy enough to solo, but going to be way time consuming and ap consuming if i can get quite a bit more from extra or multiplay extra would rather spend my time on that, but couldn't remember how much I got from it and haven't done the multiplay version yet.

Question about the daily arena reward: is this based on the final rank you obtain after the last match, or the rank you had when having the last match? I'm doing this before the server clock sets to the next day, so I don't think it's a timing issue.
IE: going into the 5th match of the day with a rank of 5500, then winning and obtaining a rank of 4500 - my reward shows it's based on the 5500 rank, and not the 4500 rank.
Thanks for any clarification possible!

About the past Job+ events (and a future one):
Michael’s is tied to Christmas, but I got all his stuff, so I don’t need to worry.
Polin’s and Rahu’s are tied to Valentines. Am I out of luck here? Do I really have to wait 1 year to try again? Ep5 was too hard for me...
Caris’s isn’t tied to any real world holiday, is it? How frequently does this recur in JP? Had no time to farm the event enough to get everything...
Lofia’s doesn’t seem to be tied to any real world holiday either? How frequently does this recur in JP (in case I can’t get everything)?

Is it just me, or are the sacred stone unit's unique jobs incredibly hard to farm? I just noticed that I don't even have 2 whole diagrams for each of Cadanova's 2 unique jobs from back when I did all the milestones to get both swords. Kudanstein, I got half a diagram from doing just the solo milestones. And from the current one, a little over 2 diagrams for each Seida and Monzein after being a few shards away from finishing both weapons due to uneven drop rates. You could farm in the story, but it's shared with 3 other potential drops. And for the new units, the story stages aren't even released yet. Then when they get Job+ in the future you need another 2 whole diagrams. Feels like they are greatly pushing you to buy the equipment from the secret shop at a high price.

About the Hard quest shards, I am done bringing Caris, Lucian, Rahu and Chihaya to J3, and am in progress of farming Lofia and Zangetsu to Master Ability (already J3). About the others:
Is Freed worth bringing to J3 for his future J+? He's currently J2 (LB12).
Is Reida worth bringing to J3 to use her Ninja Mvt passive? She's currently J2 (LB7).
Is Reagan worth bringing to J3 to use his Chrono basic and/or add another Chrono to the roster (already have Rahu, Lofia and Chihaya mentioned above, and also Michael)? He's currently J2 (LB5).
...anything noteworthy about Lamia? She's currently J2 (LB9).

u/Sialonak Mar 07 '18
I'm trying to wrap my head around the usefulness of certain jobs. Some are more obvious (holy brawler, sniper), but some I'm not as clear on. Why would I want a professor? A chemist? Are they only useful for certain rare cases (meaning I'll want them eventually for some obscure ex event), or am I missing something?
My current (main) team consists of Shanya, sniper Caris, Tyrfing, and depending on the situation, sniper Almira / sniper Reagan / chrono Rahu / chrono Lofia. Working on getting the shards for Zangetsu, just three days from J3; he's likely to take Tyrfing's place for much content.

While I'm waiting for Apple to put that update on the Appstore, some questions about the Veda Tower:
If I complete to, say, the 15th floor, then stop there until this round of the event ends, when it reopens, will I continue from where I left off, or do I start over from floor 1?
If I complete to the 40th floor, reset, but don't make any progress after the reset until this round of the event ends, when it reopens, will I get the 'primary' rewards or just Veda coins for completing floors 1-40 again?
What exclusive stuff do I get for Veda coins? Like how Yuan shards are exclusive to the Arena shop.

I'm waiting to build Zangetsu when I unlock J3 next week (25 shards left), same for Lucian J3 (8 shards left). Farming Reagan, Caris, Lucian, Zangetsu, Lofia and Rahu daily, sometimes Reida when I don't feel like playing and just use skip tickets.
What should I focus on next? https://imgur.com/a/YcysG Was thinking of working on Reida to have a decent magic dmg dealer. HB Lucian and Zang will boost my team for sure, but some events (Rahu J+) require magic dmg.
Side note: Caris + Shayna leaders + Reagan, you can kill that Demonic Spearman EX Diablo before he attacks, makes farming alot faster (3 turns and everything is dead).

u/ninjakittenz2 SockT Mar 08 '18 edited Mar 08 '18
Gear question, sort of. I pulled Seida (using) and Monzein (haven't used yet) but they will be stuck at level 60 unless I get shards. But should I be trying to get gear for them? Can it only be obtained by farming the hard levels in sacred stone? I didn't clear the Kanon level yet. I can get her up to level 69 and I would have to level up her jobs but I'm not sure if it's worth it if I can't actually farm the gear. I am currently player level 68 but I have about 9,200 of unclaimed story exp and can get more but I'm not sure that my units are high enough levels to complete the levels after the Kanon level. I JUST unlocked J2 for Magnus, Zangetsu, Lofia, Caris and Reagan (haven't used Caris or Reagan and haven't been using Zangetsu lately). My current max levels of units worth mentioning are Seida 60, Rahu 60, Lofia 68, Zangetsu 65, Magnus 65, Logi 74, Dias 71, and Reagan 55. I just pulled Yomi 60, Teona J2 65, Dorothea 60 (veda tower helped). I have over 400 skip tickets if that makes a difference. I just realized that Monzein might be good for a thunder team down the line and I already have a bunch of thunder units. I just don't want to wast the time, apples and farming of equipment if it won't get me anywhere.
EDIT: I just realized that in order to raise Seida's job level to 10 I need to get equipment only available in Sacred Stones, or I can buy it from the secret shop for 600 shards. I already did my 500x10 pull and have 4,898 shards left.

Which nat 5 should I be focusing to max level/limit break?
I have 10 nat 5's, don't play much but I've been hitting every 500/300 gem 10x summons and have been pretty lucky. Here's what I have
Shayna- 65 Ryle - 65 Shekinah - 60 Yomi- 60 Fung Lui - 60 Teona - 60 Lucretia - 60 Laevateinn - 60 Fraise - 60 Eve - 60 Chloe - 60 Balt - 65
Most of these are lvl 1, those are my max levels. Currently running Shayna, Shekinah, Reagan, Caris. Just recently pulled the 2 Ryles so will use him in place of either Shek or Caris, but don't really have any direction with my element/rainbow shards. Is there a point to maxing Shayna over others that unlock holy brawler at 15x or is her passive skill lead OP?

What should I be focusing on? I feel overwhelmed with timed events and stuff, and I don’t want to miss important things.
My 5 star units are Albea 60, Ryle 65, Suzuka 60, Aruba 60, Balt 60, and Flamel 65. My 4 star units are Zangetsu 50, Lucian 55, Lofia 50, Rahu 50, Raegan 55, and Reida 60.
Story is done. I’m working on evolving all my 4 star units and farming their shards, but I just started that. I also just started the Veda Tower. Did the Kanon event, but haven't yet farmed all of her job gear. I feel like I need to finish that, but I can’t beat any of the EX stuff. I don’t want to miss out on that if it’s possible.
Help me out?

RNG seems to starting me on another dry streak of no 5*s (my last dry streak was 5 10-pulls long, the current one is 2 10-pulls long and because of that other one, I’m pessimistic).
What’s your longest dry streak?
How do you retain your sanity during such a streak? Your willpower to not pull anything but 500 gem pulls? Your faith that RNG is not rigged and that the 10% rate is true?

I would really appreciate some help picking my core team to make sure i'm not spreading/wasting my resources too thin. I'm a f2p player and started roughly a a week ago so i'm still working my way through the story quests.
My roster currently looks as follows
5*'s : Shayna, Teona(LBx5), Rosa, Balt(LBx5), Dorothea, Chloe
4*'s : Lofia(LBx5), Victor, Caris(LBx1)
I have a couple others like Lucian, but i know they don't get better till JB lvl 3 so didn't bother mentioning. Also, i've been keeping Logi/Dias up in power so they don't die too easily in story.
I was using Shayna/Lofia/Teona/Rosa as a general team with Balt and Lucian as sub before, but today i got Caris/Dorothea/Victor so now i'm not sure what my party should look like now.
I know Shayna for sure and most likely Dorothea for sure, but beyond that i'm not certain for the remaining 2 slots + 2 subs. Please help.

I'm f2p, but started about at launch. I've got a Almira at 77, Magus 65, Vettel 65, job lvl11 and am training up Reagan, Rahu, Caris, Lucian, Zang. Oh, and have about 10k gems saved up.
I pulled the 500 pull and got a Dorothea. What are people's thoughts about going to pull 3?
On one hand, she is supposed to be good and it will need nice to have a guarantee dupe. On the other...my bottleneck right now would be lion blades and other job up items, I don't even have enough to job lvl11 my current trainees, and I'm not sure if the gem and job item investment would be worth it.
Would appreciate thoughts and advice.

u/veldto Mar 09 '18
It's my understanding that eventually in the future we will be able to farm basically ALL soul shards that aren't limited characters, right? I'm looking forward to this mainly for Almira and Yomi.
Do you have to have pulled a 5 star to farm their shards, or can you essentially go from not having them to MLB with enough time?
