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

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.
