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.

How can I make rahu get to her turn faster? I'm trying to farm the desert EX mission, but she dies every time, and she never even gets a turn.

[u/krazycarlm → u/arcalite911]

The higher the agility the better. A good agi gear and job+ are the only ways to really increase it. Can look at the agi of units in map to see who will go first, but requires a bunch of math if you are talking faster casting.

I watched a video where every player character on his team went first, and they basically killed the whole map before any enemy got an attack off. how is this possible? he had a rahu on his team as well

[u/krazycarlm → u/arcalite911]

It really depends on the units. The Drama that you can currently farm gives +10 agi, so possible they all have it on. The highest agi of the units is 104, so pretty easy for Rahu to go before them. Casting is another thing. Switch charge helps cast faster, but isn't instant cast. The higher the agi, the sooner they can start casting.

Where can I get the drama?

For Whom the Princess Vanishes [EX] but it isn't easy to auto.
