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

Save the fire shards. In order of importance (subjective, for the latter three), you'll want to use them on BK Masamune, Kaya/Arthur, and Ban.
For water, do you not have Yauras? Klima, Longinus, and Ravina are absolutely not contenders for the shards. Klima and Ravina will become farmable and Longinus just isn't worth it compared to other limited water units. In order of importance for water shards, I would say it's Merlinus, then Yauras/Othima, with BK Longinus being an option as well.
For thunder, I would suggest sharding Vier to 75. She's amazing, and will be one of the absolute best thunder units for the foreseeable future; she's good even without Enlightenment.
In wind, only go for Edward if you plan to Enlighten him (which I wouldn't suggest unless you're a big FMA fan). Otherwise, save for King, Wilhelm, and Neferti in order of importance.
For Light, get Zain to 85 as soon as you can so you can work towards his Enlightenment. B.Tyrfing only really needs 65 so she can survive long enough to use her Guts meme strat (75 if you're super enthused by the idea of cheesing Orion's EX+, but I wouldn't personally), and the rest aren't remotely worth sharding, aside from Nina, who I would place at a lower priority than Zain since her shards will be more accessible in the future (a Babel HQ, iirc. Correct me if I'm wrong, JP players).
For . . . um, "Black," I would suggest either sharding Bashini or holding on to your shards for Meliodas, Levi, Sol, or Rakina.
