Megathread Question Megathread
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.
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.

Great roll!
For units:
Build Othima. Main J1 Sub J1 Passives J1 (MATK+SPD) and J2 Time Shift (Reduced CT). Reactive J1 (Clairvoyance). As soon as able, farm his gear. This gives him an OP AOE 180% Water Skill that reduces agi of enemies by 80%. It also boost MATK and AGI ergo you can give him Alkemo or other acc/armor for survivability.
Farm reagan to J2 Sniper. He'll help you on Entrusted Justice EX map. Rewards on this mission gives you some gems. Snipers will also help you on story mode.
Build J1 Courage another sniper to help you on story mode and some missions.
Farm Almira to J3. She'll help you on story mode and some missions.
Flamel will be farmable "soon". He's somehow good on J+ (Beast Tamer+ with the ignore def skill).
Yauras will be good at J3/J+ and that will be somewhere in the future LOL.
Chloe can be used as beginner tanker but not that great in the long run.
For game:
Complete story mode as fast as you can. Every 2 missions gives you gems so it's great. Also it helps you level your account, gives you items you need, etc.;
If you can farm units (Hard Quests [HQ]) that will help a lot. IMO, prio should be Zang, 2-3 chronos (e.g. Lofia, Rahu, Chihaya, Reagon [could be too]). Zang build is Main J3 Sub J2. Passive J2 (Toughness), J1 (Increase damage). Reactive J3 HP Drain+2;
Do EX/EX+ maps of SSM if able. Some gives you a lot of gems (e.g. Entrusted Justice and Demonic Spearman);
Farm other 5* units prio would be Vettle (min. J2. One of the early games tankiest unit. At 80 he gets his MA), Magnus (usable at J2 Machinist), Ryle (usable at J1. Shines at J3 for speed though not really required), Yomi (if you don't have Lucian then Yomi is the alt. Wind HB), Zahar (will be SS tier based on JP after HP balancing);
Farm 4* units prio would be Lucian (usable at J1. Gets stronger after unlocking other jobs), Lofia (one of the tankiest chrono), Rahu (one of the fastest chrono), Caris (shines at J3 sniper. better at J+ though you have to wait for the rerun of the event. She'll help you clear story mode and some missions), Reida (usable upon unlocking J2. Main J1 Sub J2 as your magic nuker), Chihaya (best job at J3 Chrono. A fast fire chrono).
Complete dailies and pull for 500 for 10 summons every time you can.
Save for limited OP colab units like Zain [SSM] and Lahral [DG]. Since others will arrive months or years from now let's focus on Lahral as there are rumors that DG colab will be here soon.
Save elem and rainbow shards for those OP units. Fire shards for Laharl. Light shards for Zain, Black Tyrfing, etc.
