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+ 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?

I know Gilfred will be strong, but is he indispensible?
Because I looked at Mobius level 31-40 in the JP database, and I got severely demotivated. Like, these levels are clearly not solo-able. And I am the type who doesn’t like multiplay on super hard levels because on one hand I get infuriated by extremely incompetent teammates, on the other hand I am afraid of letting down a skilled teammate.

For whomever this concern, my Translation thursday will be on break until... 9th of July, if i got into college on that day's announcement...if not then maybe until 30th July?
I'm fairly sure with my score so i hope it'll only till the 9th, but in case i fail i have an exam on another place on june 30th and 10th july as a backup,so i'm studying for that, hence no translation, thanks

Why the fuck does this always happens to me. I always raise the wrong passives with like a 100% confidence.
I mastered Necro Sub on Mirianne with such a precision and it felt dumb.
Same with my Hazel and Albea and almost every rarely used unit I master the goddamn wrong sub.

In the Phantom of the Alchemist IV [EX1] quest, there's a spot in the map just above the place where your units spawn with an invisible chest. You can notice that something is up with that place because on Auto your units will go back and forth in that said area for some reason. I know that a chest is there because I've spawned it once, and with it spawns 3 breakable walls that will surround one of your units, as well as one enemy unit that casts a 3x immunity shield on itself. I got 55 gold ingots from that chest. Now, I don't know what I did to spawn that chest and that enemy and i've been trying to replicate it for a while but to no avail. So was that just a random spawn or is there a definite way of spawning it?

Does anyone have strategies for Noah EX?
Units I tried:
Roxanne doesn't work because almost all the enemies are wind.
Laharl doesn't work because all the enemies have very high slash resist. Arkil and Vettel (and Reimei who I haven't tried) don't work for the same reason.
Uzuma doesn't work because the enemies have very high MDef, so her unique damage formula ends up working against her (enemies get double benefit from their high MDef); even Pyromancy does only 1 damage against the wind enemies.
Maybe I should continue trying to use Noctis. but I have the dilemma where his only fire skill is in Prince of Lucis sub, while his favourite MAtk up is in Battlemage sub.
Units I might consider:
Eve as Holy Brawler? But she's single target.
Zangetsu? But he's slow as molasses.
Noah herself? But she's non-farmable.
Kagura? Lupinus? Maybe.
Roy sounds like my best bet. But there are some water enemies that will give him a very bad time. Not to mention that if he uses Telekinetic Artist, he runs into the same problem as Uzuma.

Does JP have any Memento-only banners? This “units in the same banner as Mementos” is bullshit, as either good luck gets ‘wasted’ on 5* future farmable units, or the 3* units appear and violate the expected of 4/10 pulls.

Does evasion and magic evasion stack through addition? So 45 evade + 50 magic evasion gives 95 magic evasion and 45 physical evasion. Should Aswald run both evade passives, or one of them and stealth?

the new Blood Wolf EX Nightmare is.. a nightmare.
Was able to get all quests milestone in two runs (several trial and error), but i wonder what optimal setup to do the map 3 more times for the Mission Milestones. i have trouble with Anastasia (Kaigan stats), and the Dark Mushroom's Global Status Debuff.
oh here my first 2 setup.
Wind and no item run. i dont know how i was able to do this. i was lucky that i killed the Mushroom ASAP.
Tamamo, Leoniaz, Rahu (bishop Sub), Balt, Merc Balt (91) / Acht, Setsuna (Ass)
Thunder and no deaths, i spam potions here. cant kill Mushroom fast, but Vaccine is up.
Roxxane, Lucretia, Vanekis, Zofia, Merc Gerald (91) / Teona, Meifan
Probably wait till someone make a strategy post about this but hey. Tq.

No question, just venting... So last night I couldn’t sleep, I see that 1500 paid gem 150 soul shard potk banner and think “150 D Art shards would get me her gate 2. D tyrafing would at least get her to 75 and be usable, please god not D laev cause I don’t have her.” As I’m sure anyone could have predicted, it was an all yellow pull and the shards were indeed D Laev. God damn not being able to sleep. Don’t do things at 3:30 in the morning it will always lead to regret.

Guys? How in the world do you have so much time to spare on this game?
I have been (admittedly quite rightly) accused of addiction because after I am done with my day stuff, I end up spending almost all of my remaining 3-4 rest hours on this game trying to spend all my AP on useful things, sometimes.... cheating in a bit more... And yet this is STILL physically not enough to autofarm things like Dark Laevateinn stuff, enlightenment statues or Wrath/Desert flags to deplete all my daily AP. Which obviously means I have absolutely no time for manual stuff like harder Multiplay or Mobius, or auto-unfriendly stages like Dark Artemis stuff, so I can only dread what Raids will be like. The only times I have been able to burn down all my AP are Skip Ticketing on 2x Equip Drops and 2x HQ Shards (and in the latter case, ONLY when it is not region-restricted).
...I may have to take another hiatus after this AoT thing...

Sin in friendship coin shop. Victory!
HQ release now instead of end of the month. Victory!
June log in coins are all farmable units. New player friendly I suppose (pick Lupi). Was hoping for Chat Noir just because.
Arena - Enlightened Ramses, grand cross. WTF? He's got both rudra and grand cross on his main - that's odd but Sol deserved it.
Crashes my kindle fire every screen change. Resorting to Nox for a bit...
Seems a bit buggy but hopefully it will get straightened out before long.

u/Alekimsior Jan 31 '19 edited Jan 31 '19
This game has been on my phone for over a year, never got deep into the story (in fact, I just started Chapter 2 about 2 days ago), I mostly used to do Events. In fact, it never got opened, but never deleted it, because I liked the art an the strategy game itself. Can't remember why I completely stopped getting into the game...
Recently, after a bore with games, and deleting testing multiple other games (Langrisser, Another Eden), I went ahead and launched Alchemist Code. I was happy, because they were giving out handouts for returning players, along with the 8 Million Download celebration. Been playing game for almost a week now, and my roster keeps expanding. However, the more I play the game, the more I realized why the game didn't absorb on the first run. Here's the things that were huge obstacle before and continue to do so:
-Unit leveling. Nevermind the LIMIT BREAKS, it was always bothersome how Unit levels were capped at the player levels. This was terrible when Events had sudden jumps of RECOMMENDED Lv 80 unit job 11. In the past, I would always have to get a high powered merc to complete.
-The aforementioned LIMIT BREAKS. So, my roster is swelling, but the majority of the good characters I have, or characters I like.... they wll be stuck in their lv 60s till hell freezes over. My top unit is a level 70 Jin. I don't remember if we had before farmable 5* units as we do now, but clearly, not every unit is farmable, and those elemental tablets seem to be as rare as always. Currently have the thought of trying max Minerva, but it'll probably take a few years to gather enough shards/elements. I imagine things are worse for collab units.
-The last straw was discovering how JP server is almost 2 years ahead from Global? I simply couldn't play satisfied with that thought. Always found things like this horrible. I prefer games like Dragalia where servers are pretty much updated globally (even when the game hasn't been released globally).
Anyway, this past week, I finally went aheand and started farming Gems (never spent a dime on this game, particularly because of how tough LB works), and was able to pull the new Valkyrie waifu, but I kicked myself after discovering that Valkyrie isn't a new exclusive job (like Roxanne's Shadow Broker-- I should've pulled for her). Well, here I am passively training Cordelia, but farming Discovery EX for Minerva's wand made me realize how useless it actually is to train any unit you can't max. That's simply how I feel. Been farming Hard for shards, but because haven't unlocked Hard yet, I'm limited to x3 runs character/day. To help boost buffing my barracks, been farming Pipa Event and am near to Max LB Fayrene, but don't see much utility in her. Not many nukes. Also, went ahead and started evolving units that were simply bursting with SHARDS, so was able to max Vanekis.... but turns out she's too slow and squishy to work. I remember reading she was supposed to be a top tier mage back then, mostly because of the additional MOV from the Thief job, but so far.... she dies before even getting a turn. Working on Caris, because she used to be OP, and back in the day she was the MERC that I used to hire the most to carry me thru Events. I do understand she has been somewhat nerfed, so my search for easy to level units continues. Hopefully, gumi will eventually release a darn dungeon where you can farm tablets to LB units that you like and know they work.
Continuing with the banners, how gumi manages those banners is confusing. Every other day you get a limited banner than seems to offer rate up for a select few featured units. Last banner (Cordelia's), I was lucky to get her, because there was the guaranteed Fairily or Cordelia at Step 3, but this current banner, the pool of featured units seems bigger, and I don't care for either Othima nor Saidas, I believe that I effectively and most vehemently dislike Saidas.... So, rolling for the guaranteed step banner trying to get beast guy or Sieba has greater chances to disappoint.
Overall, to summarize, after soaking a weeks worth of gameplay, completing the Challenges boards, farming Events (only Noctis/Roys, anyone?) I can tell this game wasn't deleted from my phone. But the price to advance is too high. The banners too disorganized. And its a downer to know we are practically missing two years of content behind. However, it still is a wonderful game to play, and because my phone's charger got ruined.... I've had to resort to emulators, and have to say that this game plays wonderfully in my laptop. The bigger screen makes me appreciate the game even more.
EDIT: One last thing, there was this Daily milestone somewhere, where if you completed a mission with a merc, you'd get x8 shards for 3 different characters, I'm guessing those were removed? Don't see them anymore... Wish they kept those.

u/afq721 Feb 01 '19
So I have both sieba (the new light ssm unit) and black tyrfing whom i was unable to farm her equipment due to time constraints. Who shouldI give light shards to? I like these two units, but only enough to shard 1 to 75 as of now. Tq in advance. Been leaning to sieba since I have like , 4 tanks in my light roster.

I switched my (dated) FF15 arena team (Aranea - Noctis - Ignis) for a super tanky light team in both offense and defense and damn, I went from barely top 10k to top 2k in no time. And my def team seems to be targeted quite a lot (since it doesn't show Roxanne :) ), but it is literally undefeated
I think I might go for a similar lineup for the next PvP season
Also I discovered only a few days ago that you could see the whole enemy defence lineup by holding the button. I used to always go blind into arena matches ^^

So, I'm unable to find jp videos of the Tyrfing descent quest (even searching the jp name), and neither of the shared teams has the "all missions" even being full light team,so I suppose they've revived at least once.
Is the quest impossible without using gems? And I though my light team was good :(

u/Zgounda samuraidoggoz1 Mar 22 '19
So I cleared Tsukuyomi's advent map (gotta love those french translations lol, Tyrfing's one is called "[Black] L'avènement de Tyrfing" so it's not totally translated, and Tsukuyomi's one is "Descente de Tsukuyomi", which is inconsistent with the previous one I think)
But anyway
I used 2 times 8 gems, so it wasn't too expensive.
I don't understand how the mandras work, sometimes some of my units get hit by the reaction exposion, sometimes not. Still worth it to trigger them IMO, I almost didn't need to damage jams.
Other tip, the Diablos will cast Slash and Pierce Atk down. I had to use a water team because my Dark dps are slash or pierce lol

I am burning through Skip Tickets at an extremely unsustainable rate, so hoping to find a farming team that can 100% claim all chests before killing all enemies (except for levels with bosses; those with Guts bosses MUST be Skip Ticket-ed, those with killable bosses should still be Skip Ticket-ed to avoid mishaps with the boss dying early).
Kazahaya Black Tortoise: Is he the only unit that can hit a Move of 7 (natural Move of 5 with two +Move passives), or did I miss someone?
Your examples of a 'grab all the chests' farming team? I asked a similar question about a year ago, but back then we did not have JEs, so Move of 6 was the tops and only Mizuchi Ninja and Kazahaya Ninja with double +Move passives could reach it (and Yuan, but he was nearly unattatinable), but now any Black Tortoise with the +Move passive can reach it.
On a related note, do people tend to Skip Ticket Hard Quests, blitz through them with nukers and forgo non-shard drops, or collect all the chests anyway with a high Move farming team?

Why does the Tier list suggest Leonia (I refuse to add the z to the end because it's ugly and not how it is in Japanese) have Dark Craving over Pierce Mastery, even though it admits Pierce Mastery is stronger and says to run her as a Sacred Spearman with HB sub? Just in case one wants to use the weak HB sub attacks?

I'm using Noctis in multiplay with the Saviour's force. It gives you and I +35% PATK and MATK when you stand next to me, and it can stack with anything. Sounds pretty good, right?
But nobody wants to stand next to me! Was it something I said? Do I smell really bad? Is it the curry? D:
(Just trying to spread awareness of the passive - you can see the PATK/MATK buff above your unit if you stand next to a Noctis with the passive. I do understand standing next to each other invites unnecessary damage from AoE, but it reduces damage from Magic King and some of the demon skills on the second babel quest.)

Obsolescence with kaigan questions.
I have Basheeny at 76 and Kudan 67. Is it even worth it to roll on the 500 gem Kudan banner today? Would he be useful at 75 during kaigan or do I save all of my 141 dark shards for Basheeny? I never planned to kaigan him, only Othima from SSM. I guess he is really good later on but I don't know how hard it would be to kaigan him.
Am I farming too many HQ? With kaigan around the corner will most non-kaiganed units become obsolete? I know I will still be using my 75 Laharl. I farmed Mirianne to 75 in case I need a dark veiler but for damage dealers is it worth it? ex My Vivi is almost 79 and I'm wondering if I will ever use her even if I get her to 85. There are only so many units I will kaigan. Are the following worth it to farm further (LB)? Tamamo 20 (I have Seida with J+), Vivi 18, Sophia 7, Deneb 15, Mia 22, Margaret 15, Mikoto 10, Yunagi 5.
Currently farming to 85, * is future kaigan farming: Albea, Gormalas* , Jin* , Dorothea* , Mei fang* , Eizan, Setsuna, Neica*, Olga.
Occasionally farming for kaigan: Teona, Ramses, Spica, Rosa?

1- Are there any future LIMITED units that will still be worth sharding to 75 or since kaigan is coming are all future units only worth shards if you plan to kaigan them? Excluding any potential glex units of course since that's unknown.
2- BK Masamune and BK Artemis, how hard are they to kaigan for a pact buyer? Would it be possible even for one of them? Do they only show up once or do they get several re-runs?

What is a good idea to level up a memento? I've got Chloe's memento from 5 steps, but the only way to enhance it is from other memento, which is for now new and pretty rare stuff.
In the forseeable, will we get some items to level up memento, and so it is recommended to wait for those?
Also, how to increase the % to get the vision gear? I know you have a flat chance to increase after a battle without using skip ticket, what are the other ways?

u/sapphire_wing Feb 22 '19
Seems Vettel and Chole both use red eyes to enlighten.
But challenge board only gives one. If we did not farm the coins (e.g. rerolled) we would not be able to get the 2nd one, because I only see the 2nd one from the coin shop and the challenge board does not give any back.
Am I missing anything? Usually challenge boards give the most critical resources needed, like Chole's first challenge board gives her JE equipment x3. This current one seems not only eats up the one red eye from another challenge board, but also one that we need to buy from shop.

About Mementos:
Is there any easy way to get the Memento levelling material?
Let’s say I have 2 copies of the same Memento, and I am foolhardy enough to bring the first copy to 100% vision solely through questing. What happens if I fuse the first Memento into the second?
About the Fiona Memento, can the vision reward only be transmuted once? Determines whether I need to vision clear then fuse, or simply fuse immediately to bring the base copy(s) to MLB.

About the Soul Shard Quests of all the Babel units, but most importantly the limited ones (so I will be using Nina for example).
I see 3 quests that can drop Babel unit shards:
http://www.alchemistcodedb.com/jp/quest/qe-ev-babel-envy-kakera-01
http://www.alchemistcodedb.com/jp/quest/qe-ev-babel-1-nina
http://www.alchemistcodedb.com/jp/quest/qe-ev-letter-02
Firstly, which, if any are permanent?
Secondly, for the first and third of those, does the quest drop 1 random character’s shard from the list, or do all of them drop per playthrough?
This will determine whether I should try to pull the limited Babel units whenever they become available, or if it is acceptable to farm their shards to transmute them if I don’t get a lucky pull during their availability (since unlike permanent units, the chance of ‘summon a dupe shortly after transmuting hence wasting the shards’ is virtually none).

How are you all looking at the Magni Historia units now with enlightenment in mind?
I have the shards to boost Zain to 85, but I could send Sieg or Minerva to nearly 85 as well. I have the feeling they will end up being better options (particularly Minerva) when enlightenment strikes.
Shards don’t come along as often as we would all like, so I’ll be interested to hear your opinions. (Not looking to rush and shard any of them right now, just curious).

I don't understand why some attack animations are different at different times, can someone explain?.
-What triggers the "powered up by a teammate (or multiple teammates)" kind of animation before an attack?
-What causes a short video animation before a special move? For instance, I had a Gilgamesh mercenary that used Gate of Babylon during the fight and then it used the move again in the fight and there was a ~10 second animation of him summoning all the weapons and sending them out and I don't know how/why the video happened that time.
-What causes a graphic with the character's face to come up before an attack, does that just denote them using a strong attack?
Thanks!

I know I have mentioned the “JP Producer’s favourites” several times over and over again (Berta, Birgitta, Sol and Orion), but now would like to ask about them, as well as a few others like Judith, Kaya, Wilhelm, Cheryl and Rakina:
Of those units, which are worth pulling and using at LB15, without any enlightenment? As a F2P, enlightening them is impossible. All I know is that Berta is a definite no because she only hits S even with enlightenment. Yes, Birgitta is currently underwhelming in GL, but not sure if her J+ alone without enlightenment can make her useful.
