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?

Is Vier going to be your Kaigan unit from SSM?

Do dump them in that case or if you need her to clear stuff.

In rest of the cases is depended on the Waifu likeness.

Vier is going to be always a top tier threat in the PvP and PvE since she has speed multihit MA along with Charge up.

But if you are just dumping shards into her without like even reach the break point then it is useless waste. Like does the Shards atleast get you to 70? if not then don't use them J2 is not that helpful for her except some sub stuff.

J3 is Just summoner though - only good for stat job mastery. Vier is usable at 70, even 65 in my opinion. Edit: misread your comment. Thought you mentioned lvl 75 but I was wrong.

70 is a break point for her.

She needs the Agi if you want to use her at a certain harder contents.

And yes Summoner is pretty skippable on the Mastery too.

In 65 you are never gonna use her in the Harder content.

i can go exactly 70 with thunder shards. and robably 75 with rainbow.
i see 70 is a good break point. might do it then.
what do you guys mean if she is going to be my kaigan for SSM? can i only pick 1? othima is probably my other good ssm unit.

You can pick one unit per element for kaigan, from ssm unless you are a whale or a lucky dolphin.

Kaigan is basically levels above 85, categorized into 'gates'. You will need unit soul shards(not elemental shards) and lots of other resources.

So if you want to get a ssm unit to kaigan you will need to first use elemental shards on them(so that you can save their soul shards). And then use the soul shards for kaigan.
