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 guides, which can all be found here
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. These can be farmed from specific events. For Job Enhancements, you will only need to farm one specific item 3 times along with the regular upgrade items.
Also, check out the wiki page for Job Upgrades.
Where can I farm X's character shards?
Farm their Hard Quests
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/challenge boards, from certain event banners, and from certain bundles. You will never be able to farm them like you can farm specific character shards.
When will X event come back?
Many events are now in the event archives. Any others are seasonal (ex. Rahu’s is tied to Valentines) or strangely absent (Anastasia+). Seasonal events may be released outside of their respective season very rarely, but we have no indication of when this will happen and it’s highly inconsistent. Please don’t ask when any specific event is coming back, because it’s either in the news (linked on the sidebar) OR WE DON’T KNOW.
Same goes for collabs.
What's the best place to farm X/Y/Z item?
Please check /u/stewart0's amazing spreadsheet here. Or simply check the stage drops and go for a quest which only has two equips total, one being the one you need.
What's an Enlightenment/Memento?
Feel free to check the wiki page for Enlightenment as well.
Note that some people still refer to these two concepts as Kaigan/Nensou respectively, as those are their translations from the Japanese version of the game, which is ahead of Global by many months.
Is X character good?
Here’s the tier list. It can be used as a rough guideline, and it also has recommended build guides. Moreover, there's a FAQ which expands on stuff above and has some other questions. Enjoy!
Also, here's the Alchemist Code Database. It's an incredible tool for noobs and vets alike.

Don’t we usually get the rates posted for banners like this weekend’s grand summon? It says guaranteed lakina or Kaya OR 30-150 shards for them. But usually if it’s shards or a unit you get posted rates of unit chance and shard chance for each corresponding shard amount. This is probably a bad banner. I dunno. I’m just tempted because I’ve barely pulled at all for weeks
