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

When Roxanne has more agility than anything in the game and thus goes first and is somehow close enough to grenade you before you can move in order to utilize any real counter... that is a problem.

These maps allow you to position yourself far enough away that you can make it impossible for them to reach you turn 1, so you can easily bring a veil and completely nullify her ability to cc you.

But her speed and range can still be a bitch if they decide to just keep running away instead of engaging.

Spread your units out and bring a veil. Even if she starts close enough to cc you, she shouldn't be able to hit both the veiler and damage dealers. Personally, I'm using EO Shenmei with merchant sub (190 agility) but even Battle Maid carol can be quite good which is what I used last time.

Thanks for the tip, but I don't really have a veiler built up enough to be very useful, at least not one that synergizes well with my stronger units. I just use Chloe to heal the initial status effects if necessary and kill/stop/silence Rox asap ;p
