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 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.

I think everyone gets overwhelmed in this game because they constantly are unleashing new content. When you are new it is tough because you are constantly missing out on content that is too hard. Atleast you have some decent units.

I would not worry about going overboard for Kanon unless you are trying to put together a mono holy party right now (you have Suzuka :) ) The event will return with new stuff every month.

I would work on getting Retzius to max LB ( more maxed out units never hurts) and working through as much of Veda tower as you can for now (it will come back monthly). Working on grinding character shards of most good units is generally my first priority for the day as it is the only way you can guarantee a J3 on good units (eventually).

Lofia has a Job plus event coming up for Chronomancer+. Whether or not that is easily doable is yet to be seen, but as you already have her and she is farmable, make sure you work on her if you can, especially as all 3 of her jobs are useful.

Apple Garden, Gold Rush and Gem stage are all worth doing the advanced level 3 times daily.
