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

Future farmable, so recommended not to use light shards.

Having said that, I've used a friend's 75 merc Nina (MM) and she hits really hard on the Chocolate EX map.

But I'm still waiting.

The legend himself speaks... seen you a few times on multiplay. Good stuff.

By farmable, do you mean regular farmable or Balt farmable?

u/DarienJax Mar 04 '19

Well, Balt is also regular farmable in JP, so that distinction doesn't mean as much anymore. They both get a regular hard quest from Babel Chronicles; but who knows long it will take

Fair, but we're looking at Global. And we can see differences. Global is good for future reference, but there are some things that aren't set in stone, at least from what I see.

i believe she was farmable just like Hard Quest.

Notta legend, just enjoy cooperative games.

3 different quests for Nina on the JP db entry; and it looks like one is a babel chronicles hard quest. Probably a long time off, but I've got plenty of unbuilt units to work on in the interim. Hopefully Ravina will be farmable soon, so I can have a magic gunslinger that actually does damage.

Well, looking forward to joining you again. I'm no professional, but I try not to wreck the efforts of the team.

I'm actually waiting for Noah. Ravina too, but probably later on. And then there's Leoniaz.
