Another day, still no bow recipe from that chest crap.
I have to say, Tatarasuna is a great source of low tier ore and weapon/artifact fodder. It seems to respawn every 2 days and gives a ton of white/green materials. Not a huge source since they give measly amounts of xp at higher levels, but it's still free, farmable, repeatable, and fairly concentrated.
I've started farming that pyro cube for Yoimiya materials, even though I still dunno if I'm rolling for her. I like the fight better than the cryo cube at least.
Oh, for that battle achievement to kill the samurai boss dude "when he's taunting", does anyone know which move specifically is his taunt?
Kazari quest is damn boring. I drop everytime I need to continue. So much inconsistency.
I liked the Kazari quest a lot. Are you reading the lore bits and scanning the little kitsune statues? It adds a lot of flavor. Also, the areas where you do the cleansing have awesome ambiance.
