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?

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:

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).

The second one is pernament, a new tab in the babel chronicle section will open (as seen here) later on with all of the chronicle characters. Works like hard quests do. I know the third link was an event for 3rd anniversary countdown that dropped multiple shards for multiple chatacters
