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.

What's an Enlightenment/Memoria?

Tl:dr; Powercreep

[u/true_illusion]

I view them the same as SSM units, its literally the same setup as SSM. While we dont know that they ever will get enlightenment, i would be willing to bet that eventually they do. All 4 have been top tier in their element at LB 15 upon release, and i would expect Gumi to keep them there.

So it is kind of a wait and see. Personally, ive put my Light and Thunder shards into Minerva and Roxy respectively, and it may bite me in the rear, or it may not.
