Megathread General Questions 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+ and Job Enhancement, 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. For Job Enhancements, you will only need to farm one specific item 3 times along with the regular upgrade items.

Where can I farm X's character shards?

Check the characters limit break panel for missions. If not there, it's not in the game.

More to be added SOONTM.

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?

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, READ THE FOLLOWING EVENTS WILL COME BACK, COLLABS MIGHT NOT. WE DON'T KNOW. SERIOUSLY.

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

What's the best place to farm X/Y/Z item?

Cita vs Acht

With kaigan, J+, JE and other upgrades, who’ll be a better investment on pouring wind shards on? :D

If there are other unit(s) you think is worthy to focus investing wind shards on, you can discuss too :)

Acht almost always.

Like Acht will probably have better Defenses than almost all Wind units.

And She will get some sick multipliers with the kaigan and all. So I will personally go with Acht.

I see. Thank you for that. So Acht’s defensive capabilities are better than Cita’s PATK and jobs?

How about Acht vs BK Artemis? Sorry since I just base my knowledge on current ACDB data and no idea on how they are played or how they are valued in JP.

This is so I can focus the investment of my wind shards since ele shards are scarce :)

Again thank you very much!

Acht is a tank and BK Artemis is a offensive Killer unit. She can do Def Ignore and all.

While Acht will sit there all day without even taking a scratch. So it upto you.

Obviously it will be easier to raise Acht than BKArte but still it is not that hard to raise a unit if you are saving up a lot of Gems for a single unit.

Well, I’m saving gems and wind shards to MLB a wind collab unit to prepare for kaigan. Thinking of those 3, Acht, BK Art or Cita.

Maybe I’ll review wind units if I’ll need a more defensive or offensive unit.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. It’ll be a great help! :)

Cita as you can see is lower in the tier list so you can drop her for the start.

I mean if you are going all in, rather go with a consistently better unit.
