Does the free Skell you get not fly?

Mine only hovers a bit, or is it a way to fly

 

[zroid]

if anyone cares about money and not wasting it unless you have to, just a reminder that switching probes around cost money.

I've wasted a lot of money reconfiguring my probes ;_;

really wish the game would give me more probes other than mining... but I guess it's on me for not venturing further into the story yet. :X

 

[Venfayth]

Do you get your probe back if you replace it with something else?

You mainly get probes from mechanical treasures in the world.

You won't get the flying add-on until chapter 9. Until then the best you can do to cover extra ground is the whole "walk off of ledge while in vehicle mode -> jump" trick.

I think probes are exclusively given via using your field skills on mechanical/archaeological stuff.

Has anyone else tried out Partisan Eagle and Astral Crusader yet? I started building it up after finishing off Galactic Knight and I'm finding Javelins to be... really underwhelming? I really like sniper rifles for appendage breaking/toppling, but javelins seem really, really weak compared to the other melee weapons I've tried. Their arts are all kinda meh.

man, really, I thought they'd be given as mission rewards too

maybe I've just been unlucky in which treasures I've uncovered because I have a stupid number of mining probes, and hardly anything else

 

[aravuus]

Is this game seriously telling me I need to get 6 pieces of a particular rare collectable to be able to get level 5 mechanical treasure?

Fuck this

Yes

 

[Dee Dee]

Oh, if anyone needs the Spherical EM Motor for the Helicopter sidequest still the affinity mission "My Dream." gives one as a reward. It's the hex to the left of the hangar fast travel point in the adminstrative district.

Pressing L + A so hard right now. Thank you, lifesaver-person!

Now to try sneaking through chapter 5.

I am already dead.

 

[Evilkazz]

What's the quickest way to gain affinity with a character?

Now in order to advance the story I need to do an affinity quest, but that quest requires at least one heart with Gwin. I dont even like Gwin so this is annoying.

 

[Xenoboy]

How do I actually remove primary gear in fashion gear? For example, I don't want Irina to show her Arm armour.

Holy shit, I found the dragon that saved us hen the Sphynx attacked. It's level 99. WOW.

potential affect the skills that use tp right? but what about potential stats on skells?

Some Japanese sites have claimed it affects cockpit mode chances, and I just found a short article that attributed an increase in HP healed by some skell art to higher Potential. I haven't really seen any solid evidence for anything else.

Yeah, didn't get even one in 120+ collectibles picked up.

I would love to be able to open those lvl 5 thingies but I really can't bother with the grind. Jesus christ.

Can't. You can only buy materials dropped my monsters, not collectibles.

i wish you could use two melee and no range or vice versa

 

[Astral Dog]

how do you get many tickets

 

[random25]

Need to stop for now. The helicopter sidequest took longer than expected. Glad it earned me tons of bucks and miranium just for the time it took me to finish.

I survived the guardian deity surprise lol. How I escaped that, I dunno.

Gonna destroy some turrets tomorrow.

Well, except for the MC, of course.

The open suit is like grade A douchebag stuff, it suits the asshole replies so well I couldn't resist

I should give this to Yelv lol, or H "Will I ever stop excelling" McDouche B

I am pretty much giving everyone from BLADE "army-looking" fashion gear, makes more sense I guess. For Elma I left her the same, but changed her pants to the army-looking pants, same with Lin whom I also gave a vest and sunglasses so not everyone turns to stone every time she appears.

Gwin I gave white pants cause it goes well with his outfit, and also smaller round sunglasses, actually makes him look cool. Lao is the original outfit, but changed the pants. Irina is the same, but gave her the army-looking pants and tank top. I removed the heavy armor from doug and just gave him formal pants with a tight shirt, since he is a pilot. L is unchanged.

Oh is that where the mining location is? I figured it had to be there but it seemed odd to have a single mining spot early on that is so out of the way compared to everything else. Can you get there without a flying Skell?

 

[Teletraan1]

Geez. I am strippin all area attacks off of all action bars. From a cut scene to a monster attack from a Lvl 29, who is flanked by 2 Lvl 39s who are non combatants. I single target attack the lvl 29. I am pulling up the menu to tell my team to concentrate fire and before I can even enter anything I see an area attack go off that pulls in the 2 lvl39s. Terrible design.

There's one even earlier directly north of NLA in Primordia.

She's near the West Gate of NLA. Look for her at the nearby the Containers.

Can't. You can only buy materials dropped my monsters, not collectibles.

have you checked the google doc to see recommended locations? Also the guide tends to say if it's best early morning/w rain and stuff

If I remember correctly there was one, although I was already higher level when I took the affinity mission. My recommendation is save before starting an affinity mission and do not save during.

 

[aravuus]

Thanks a ton! That's where she was indeed

Insane that I had to look for her to even get her in the party

Just... What. Why. God.

 

[Vecks]

I've only done most of the level 20 something and below, and they've all been quite doable.

 

[Qurupeke]

Are the Basic Quests infinite or just too many?

 

[massoluk]

are there any affinity quests that are harder than they should be. can't cancel 'em so aren't I fucked if I accept one that's beyond me?

Saw a lot of reviewers grieving over this, but so far I haven't experienced one yet at level 28. But then again, I was quite overleveled when I finally go after affinity quests.

 

[knacklover]

are there any affinity quests that are harder than they should be. can't cancel 'em so aren't I fucked if I accept one that's beyond me?

I have no idea, but I thought the OP guide mentioned to always save before accepting the Affinity quest because of that reason?

 

[Ravijn]

You can just go an do regular BLADE non story missions and level up a bit to help you out. Just select a different mission in your missions tab.

 

[B-Dubs]

I've only ever really had trouble with two affinity quests and that was more to not bringing along my first stringers (I was trying to get the second string some levels/affinity).

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I have no idea, but I thought the OP guide mentioned to always save before accepting the Affinity quest because of that reason?

yeah always save before accepting affinity quests just in case it's one that is annoying to do at the moment. Such as Lin's first affintiy quest if you decide to help her with everything instead of ending it early.

Which reminds me, with Lin's first quest end it early if you get the chance. There's little reason not to, you can get her affinity up by just having her around in normal missions
