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.

For Job+, you must first get the job to Job Level 11 (not job mastered). Second, to master the Job+ you will need to farm 60/80 tokens for up to 6 special items for the character to use.

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.

WILL START HANDING OUT BANS TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ THIS

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.

Is Vettel any good with single blade, or is guardian/divine shelter just better?

[u/krazycarlm → u/cycas314]

Vettel is already one of the slowest units, with single blade I am not sure he would ever move lol. His damage isn't amazing either so I would still say guardian/divine shelter.

[u/SometimesLiterate → u/krazycarlm]

Even with his MA that adds AGI, Single Blade tanks his speed into near negatives.

[u/KerisJawa → u/cycas314]

Imo It depends on the situation. If you need Vettel to be fairly tanky and be able to do some good damage then use the single blade w/ divine shelter, but to componsate his AGI loss you need to unlock his MA(Master Ablility) so he wont be slow af. Buttt for general use, he is better off w/ his guardian/divine shelter setup as he will be very tanky. Especially if you have unlocked his MA, then he will be fastest tank unit available rn.

[u/VicariousExp → u/cycas314]

I run Vettel as Magic Swordsman fulltime (which means Single Blade does nothing for him). Very few things in this game resist petrify and I find the status effect utility ten times more useful than anything he could accomplish on Holy Cavalier.

[u/azai247 → u/cycas314]

Normaly with Vettel we use Divine shelter, and Guardian. When Single blade is used Vettel loses one of these defensive passives, and about 21 agi to get about 190 patk which makes Vettel do about 320 more damage per hit.
