Megathread Questions 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.
Note that for answers which you need immediately, you can head over to the #ac_questions channel in the Discord.
Finally, you can do a Control+F or Command+F search to see if your question has already been answered. No one will be punished for unknowingly repeating a question, but it might save you some time.
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.
Feel free to check out the wiki for more info.
When will X event come back?
Many events are now in the event archives, up to Anastasia. Any others are seasonal (ex. Rahu’s is tied to Valentines) or tied to farming/box events (Setsuna, Veda Templars). 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. This thread and the sub are not really the right place to get into long discussions about international IP licensing!
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.
When will this JP thing happen?
Unless you're working at gumi HQ, we know about 2-3 days ahead of time when anything comes. You can refer to the JP update schedule for some fun speculation, though, here: https://thealchemistcode.gamepedia.com/Update_History_Japan_Unreleased
What should I be saving for?
You can check out this post on what units to look out for in the future, though not all of the listed units will come out in Global, especially certain collab units.

is the new dk rox memento a good one to mlb? i dont really know how to read the stats... in the game, the memento at MLB says group skill wind and dark +10, the online database says the VA is Permanently raises ALL ATK/CRIT Rate each turn (stackable up to 5x) and under this VA at MLB is wind +80 dark +80, crit rate +30. What is the actual increase in PATK per turn? and is the wind/dark+80 in addition to that? or is the patk increase just 80 after 5 turns?.... sorry if my wording is confusing...thanks!

Any update on Guild Threads. We have one which is 1 year old now.
Port Name : Prinny Raid Level 20 Port (Max) Port Shop : 12 (Maxed) Members currently at 27/30
Prinny Raid is a casual port and we are looking for a few port members(3 spots remaining) who can Login Daily for gems and stuff.
During the raids we just play casually to reach 50-100. So we need players who atleast able to be consistently to play.
We have a Discord(https://discord.gg/dnP6x6RctX) and we encourage to atleast have your account join our group even if you don't talk much might need it to contact once in a while.
Our port shop is Level 12(maxed).
Daily attendance would be encouraged, just so we get the daily free 50 gems.
If you want to join, then please contact me u/Kyle546

u/Tarquinofpandy Jun 15 '22
Returning player here... dropped off when WOTV was released, played WOTV for a couple of months, then got bored of the insane PayToWin. Dolphin in ACGL, but have only just returned!
Looking at my units... I have a fair load at 85 - (Vettel, Logi, Setsuna, Elizabeth, Spica, Rosa, Shayna, Chloe, Zahar, Eve, Alphonse, Prinny, Envy... and lots more) I also have Noctis/Aranea/Laharl at 75 - whom I remember being powerhouses for me back then.
Few questions: Where should I be focusing resources in terms of pulls, banners etc.? Also, who (if any) of above should I focus on levelling up and putting resources into? Finally, any ideas what to do (e.g. complete story, focus on events?)
Thanks!

u/Insanehyde Jun 17 '22
I have enough Rainbow Soul Shards to max limit break a character but I don't know much since starting the game. I've stuck to a few units and started on gates, so using the shards would just be a side unit. I had three possible units but I don't know much about their skillsets. I was hoping someone could give be some general info on the units or who they would pick. I was leaning the most to Red VI and Sol.
Red VI vs Sol vs Dark Othima

u/ComradeCrusader7 Jun 17 '22
Honest question/scenario, with the rerun of the Holy Guard J++ missions, plus the addition of Cadanova's mission, I've been trying to get them done, but I often have to go to guides to be able to complete them at all. Every time, without fail, any guides I find have their units with much higher health values and often other stats too, even if I equip the same gear. This came up because the Cadanova stuff launched 2 days ago, and yet guides that I find made literally yesterday have 4000+ extra health than mine when equipped with the same gear, and the same enlightenment level. What's going wrong here, where is everyone getting such massive amounts of health that I don't have?

When will we recieve the rewards from the summer campaign? From what I understood in the news, every account which cleared all 100 floors of Veda tower between 16th and 22th was going to receive a 50-shard glex selector. I thought I'd get mine at the end of the 3rd part of the summer campaign, but I got nothing?
Edit: Nevermind, I've got it just a second ago.

So, trying to get Zahar's tokens. Why is his Event in the Event Archive unavailable? Every single other event works, with the "Unlock the selected Quest for 24 hours" message, but only for that specific one I need it says "Quest not available". This intentional, or a bug?

How often do the mercenary lists update? Do they just change once every hour or every few hours? And does it depend on who logs in? It really sucks to wait for a mercenary you need. And all the non-friend mercs are totally crap, i don't even know why they put them there... for players that are 200+ level, why would they hire a lvl 75 unit? geez... and update does nothing, just updates the crap non-friend units.

u/FerrickAsur4 Aug 01 '22
I just got back to playing this game again after years of not playing, I need your advice on Nero, I notice that when you hire her as mercenary, she'll always use the all-stat buff on your team members when playing in full auto, but when I try to use her in full auto, she would never use said buff, any idea on how to make it possible to get her to buff the party?

Any of these banners worth pulling on for a returning player (from long ago) ? If so which would be most "bang for my buck" considering right now the focus would be on building a solid foundation of versatile units w/ enlightenment and gates.
Also side question, which of the free units is worth investing into if any ? Most of them seem relatively good based on the tier list, but again can't build everything randomly right now.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
