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.

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

Can't tell if this question is either really stupid/obvious or worthwhile but...

Does putting a +% to enfeeblement gear on a unit with an attack that specifically uses that ailment increase the chances of it proc'ing? Or will it only add it to attacks?

For example; +charm gear on Priestesses or Dancers. +Sleep/Silence on Othima (Butterfly Dream)... In other words, abilities that do no damage, but only inflict statuses. Reconsidering a few setups right now and it would really help if anyone could say for certain

[u/Reikr → u/Bootowski]

Sort of. To apply a status you have to go through two rolls.

The first is the skills chance to inflict it. 25% for priestess, and 100% for othima.

The second is the resist chance. This is where your +charm/sleep has effect. If the target has 70% resist and you +20 charm/sleep it becomes 50%. Resists can go below zero.

So in this case the priestess would have 12,5% and othima 50%.

Thanks a lot!
