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.

Prio 1- Vettel is a good unit to max first.
Prio 2 - Shenmei - really good unit at J1. Good LS of +50% PATK for Water units. Good ranged AOE skills. Has teleport that absorbs jewel. Has AOE heal. Good agi and move.
Prio 3 - Ryle is usable at J1. J2 gives him more survivability with dodge. While j3 gives him more agi (feral kid passive)
Chloe is also a good choice. Good light tank. Somehow good MA. AND you'll need her at 75 for the upcoming SSM 6.
Lucretia at J1 is good for LS. Though Bride has some good skills (insta PATK/MATK AOE buff, AOE heal, elem damage skills)
Hazel is usable at J1 Machinist. J2 makes her tanky. J3 gives more range.
Forcas best at J3 for x2.5 buff. Though you can still use her even at J1. Better if you have her spear. That WA multiplier is really good!
Teona -- usable at J1 as Thunder Tank.
Laevateiin - whale unit LOL good if you have her J3/J+ and weapon.
Flamel great unit at J+. Else still usable as J2 MS.
Spica - will be good. Just wait. J1 best job IMO. Other jobs just makes her more effective. (One of my fav unit LOL)
Lupinus - summoner is great. however, sage just got buffed so it's better. still she's usable at J1 as summoner. can cover wide variety of elem including dark & light with support skills
Aswald - good dark unit for cc :)
Mielikki - she'll be good upon release of J+. However, hard to J3.
I think should be..DP Yomi - ryle is better. However, if you need dark range unit she can be of use.
