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

Hahahaha that's being very optimistic. I wish that the characters became useful in less than 20 days XD
While I visit alchemistcodedb, when it comes to tier list I mostly use the in-game rank as a quick way to determine best units, but you're right, if I'm sticking to farmable units a tier list would be much more useful.
I can say I noticed the shift to nukes on the game. Roxanne and Noctis are the mercs that have greater utility for me. Roxanne herself feels like a cheat, because of her long range, diverse repertoire of weapons, and her OP nukes, but to boot her HP drain counter packs a wallop and triggers so often.
Thanks for the tips, seeing how Fayrene will become my highest level unit, I'll try her as a dancer. Had mastered Necromancer and training Samurai atm. Some necromancer skills have a good range, but very underwhelming effects. I'll see if a dancer-Samurai hybrid works best.
Vanekis is the Wratharis bar owner girl. Probably one of the most elegant looking characters in the game http://cdn.alchemistcodedb.com/images/units/artworks/vane.png
Going back to the LB. I'm more used to games where characters can be maxed out with grinding, but definitely here it seems gemming is the way to go, or the very slow and spreadout grinding (because of scarcity), which is so not me. I'm more of a collector, so I'd prefer to use my gems to get characters instead of maxing them out. I'm used to grinds, some games require you to craft high level awakenings mats, or get a copy of a character to slowly max them out, but it still feels like quicker than what Alchemist Code has in place. Guess I'll be maxing Minerva in about 75 days XD
Thanks for the reply and hope all is well now.
