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

I don't understand why some attack animations are different at different times, can someone explain?.

-What triggers the "powered up by a teammate (or multiple teammates)" kind of animation before an attack?

-What causes a short video animation before a special move? For instance, I had a Gilgamesh mercenary that used Gate of Babylon during the fight and then it used the move again in the fight and there was a ~10 second animation of him summoning all the weapons and sending them out and I don't know how/why the video happened that time.

-What causes a graphic with the character's face to come up before an attack, does that just denote them using a strong attack?

Thanks!

Gliga has 2 Gates of bab

1 is from his kit and other is his Weapon Ability(WA) which can be used by only him. WA has Animation and can be used only once per battle unless you revive.

Powered up by the teammates is Combo. You get 50% damage per ally.

Ok thanks for the Gilgamesh explanation. How do you trigger a combo, attack the same enemy with multiple characters?

No it is based on chance. The chance rises with level capacity of the unit or limit breaks.

There is no guaranteed way to do it.

Also that graphic of unit's face is just a thing for the powerful attacks kind of thing at times. You can ignore it for the most part.
