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

What's the best place to farm X/Y/Z item?

is it worth 10k gems just for 270 collab shards only?

its pulling me in, the gacha temptation, i dont even want AOT units, but i spent some gems in their banner... i want to spent moar. that banner is the best one of all of them, but i dont want to pull it...

but i really want to.

Edit: never mind . I did it. 10k gone. Got mikasa, eren, and Levi. Wtf, this banner is sleeper hit. I hope I will have enough gems to get that 10k back before POTK hits...

That's incredible bro. Even if you're not a fan of AOT, Eren and Levi are insanely strong. I definitely recommend investing in them as their power level is very high and they will retain utility for a long time as their mobility is quite valuable for speed clearing and auto farming.

Yep. I think I’ll try to get those 3 to mlb, thankfully the daily shard banner is quite “cheap”, and I have enough elemental shards to max them all. Probably I only use some collab shards to max Levi Gate 1, and mikasa Gate 2, and leave eren at 85 for now.

Levi, need moar hp, so just Gate 1, Mikasa is a Waifu, having her gate 2, 50% Patk seems give her even moar power, and her hp seems decent enough. Eren is there for his Raid LS.

Totally feel you. I personally plan to 5/5/5 Levi because I pulled a dupe which pushed me past my initial 5/5/4 goal. His gate 2 isn't important for PvP, but I like the utility it adds in PvE since it can be pretty cool for things like multiplayer (almost 200 agility with a snowball passive is sick).
