There's a youtube video for that particular quest, google it. I can't tell you right now because I'm not playing, but there's a spawn point east of the lake in Sylvallium, and she spawns early morning.
Fair warning, the battle is basically made for 4 skells, she's quite tough. It might be doable with three but it's all based on how often your AI team members use their super strong attack and shit.
just looked for it and found it, thanks...
don't know why it's described as starting at the sphere and 'flying towards' when it just spawns at that point..

Yeah that's pretty confusing. Just staying on that ledge will have it go towards you after a few seconds, no need to make people search around that dome thingy.
They are just special locations you discover, there is nothing special you do to unlock them.
For the items you mine, if you touch an area that has a probe on the gamepad it will tell you what items you can mine from it under FN Site Info. You don't need a special probe or anything.

Probe question of my own: if you change a probe in a region, say from Mining G1 to G2, do you get the Mining G1 probe back in your inventory? Basically, are they consumables or no?
Resources will be listed where they are available, in that probe overview submenu.

Was a revelatory moment when I heard the skell battle theme's lyrics for the first time.
Why do people give Sawano work lol, absolutely butchers any good songs in the ost with horrible drivel every other song.
You get them back thankfully. It would be terrible to lose them with as rare as some are.

Excellent, thank you.
Only wish I remembered the name. It's tier 2 or 3 for Sakuraba, I think.
Excellent, thank you.

I believe I just stumbled upon a religion vs athiesm quest
I still haven't started chapter 7 yet. Explored a bit of Sylvalum and Cauldros and did a few more affinity quests. I will probably recruit Hope and then start chapter 7. Maybe explore more iof Sylvalum and Cauldros first.
But I don't know, since I got the Skell and can move around so fast, I am not as motivated before to actualy explore stuff. I am not sure if it is because the whole world is simply smaller now or because the Skells are so strong, that you don't have to fear as many enemies as before. But I also don't want to run around in foot because it takes so much longer. Meh. :/

I just finished chapter 8 and am starting chapter 9. Started 8 when I hit level 30. Had no issues... but my heavy skell does 35,000 a hit ;_; so that might be why... most enemies I the chapter seemed to have around 50,000 hp

yeah, I had that problem all through the week tho it has calmed down somewhat, I was just searching for quests in the city in the residential and commercial district because i took the division of mediator, basically police and I felt the urge to do that kinda stuff, after completing chapter 6, alot more quests in the city opened up and so im lapping it up, i just helped make it safe for a purification plant to be built, I kinda hope it gets built up without having to progress the story i heard theres a pretty good quest that goes with it haha.
The first continent I discovered after primordia was believe it or not, sylvalum, I just kept exploring, adding probes along the way while also being enticed by the shape of the continent in the distance, then i found a lifehold and was like holy shit, but since I havent got there in the story yet, it might aswell not exist lol I continued on along the sea constantly thinking of how this reminds me of how humans use to get across earth back in the day, with lowered water levels allowing some land to form between each piece of land, it just felt so exciting.
I love this game.
Cool. I'll clean up the few quests I have left active (Minus the level 55 tyrant. Why was that quest even available to me?) and move on with the story.
No worries! I bet that was one of those one star quest board "meet x person" ones.. that then turns into a silly bounty.

For those who can't believe people can get decent revenue from probes, I was getting 30k earlier today, then i went around every map and basically used my field skill to everything I found in 4/5 maps (aka yellow dots in minimap I could both use my field skill and/or actually reach without triggering some mob/enemy every single time).
Now I'm at 130K. Once you reach a decent amount of research probes (you'll never have enough as mine probes, that's a reality) you can attempt to replicate this as much as you can courtesy of Qurupeke when I asked him if he could post what he did to get 180K
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=188960285&postcount=11451
With the probes that I had (not as good as his), and with the sightseeings discovered in key areas, I was able to get to 132K which is where I'm currently sitting. I'm hoping I'll eventually get better research probes to use in Obilivia.
But yeah basically divide the map of oblivia down the middle, the right side is crazy for money making if you discover sightseeing. A rule of thumb at the beginning of the game was to focus on the letter grade of the probe info (aka research, mineral, A-F) but in reality for revenue you want to put your best research probes and use chains/special probes around those with sightseeing.
It's religion vs science really. Also the main lady of that quest always has this dumb face in cutscenes.
edit: unrelated to all of this but the amount of normal missions where I'm currently at is actually bothering me. I actually like the normal missions for story purposes as it really expands on the city and the different races living in new LA, instead of just focusing on you and key BLADE personnel like the affinity missions. But Jesus give me a break. The completionist/OCD in me won't start the next chapter until I at most have 2-3 missions I can hold off on until the next chapter is done. But everytime I finish quests like 2 more pop-up as I unlock and continue chained quests and Jesus haha slow down game.

Here I am thinking that my 93k revenue was pretty good. 180k is crazy. That said, yeah, Oblivia is a good money continent. I'm not gonna take advantage if it until I max out nearly every AM I have ATM.

This guy would love my Team Elma. We have Lin as the tank, Hope as the support class, and Elma and I as the damage dealers. And both of us use dual swords.
Only difference I guess is that she'll stay as a fullmetal jaguar, and once I reach the max level of my second branch (galactic knight), I'll go back and try out the default drifter class for the extra skill. See if the extra skill is worth the plain stats with no boosts to anything.
Basically what I did. When I went to do this I had 6 of my 7 unlocked AMs at level 5. The next one I likely have to wait until later in the game to unlock. But my next mission, aka tomorrow, is to put some mining probes and find the way to get them up to the 33K I have as my storage prob capability.
Sort of.
The things that are brought up from the original XB - Telethia, Nopon, "hom homs", legendary weapon and so on - are inconsequential to the story XBX wants to tell, so I feel like they're all just fan-servicey "if you want to believe Mira is what became of XB's ending, go right ahead!" kinda stuff.

You find the assassin springtail around the purification plant, right? cause ive been looking nonstop and I only had one but I had it since before the quest but just cant seem to find one more.

I swear, every time I've booted this game up I find another set to use as fashion gear.
What is the thing Lin is wearing called? Where did you get it?
Really want this for my MC

Did some googling and north Janpath was also said to have them so I went there and found them
Piece of advice.
There will be a Normal Mission about saving three Tree Prones. Save the two brothers first.
Also, on the Black Skell chain of Normal Missions, don't tell a guy named Bates to head west.
Aren't Vigents that huge things with those enormous arms? Are they so hard to find?

That's probably the only way to save Chief's son... He died on me.

Died too and as a result Corwin died.

Huh. Didn't know that, but I still saved them all.
And people say that choices don't matter.
Most of the Normal missions later on have quite different endings for various choices.Otakumegane

Got my skell.
I still prefer human combat for now so I'm not going to be using it too often. Skell arts seem kinda undervaried and have too long CDs. Not to mention strip character variety out the window.

Actually you need a certain item with you to be able to save him. One of the other two talk about it. But I didn't know about it beforehand since I went to him first and saved him by pure luck

I suppose the music might be an issue for some folks, but I still can't get over that some people will outright refuse to buy the game let alone play it simply on the basis of the standard battle track.
I generally finish most battles before the lyrics kick in anyways, and for specific battles when the lyrics do manage to arise. I'm too caught up having fun with the combat to even pay it any mind.
Foregoing the nice scenic vistas, the large and fairly varied designed locales, and the many giant creatures to encounter.
It just doesn't make sense to give up playing this amazing game entirely just on some palty sum of the greater whole that exists.
Oh well, not my loss or problem.

That seems to be a variation of Trekware. I'm wearing that on my avatar:
Unfortunately, I have no idea where I found it.
OmegaDL50

Yeah I didn't expect that either.
Which brings up an interesting point...
Why does Lin need to even cook? I wonder how it's even explained why Mimeosomes even need to eat. Do they even get any sort of nutritional benefit or energy from it. It's just something I suppose I'll need to suspend my sense of belief for.

They were designed to be as human as possible. No idea WHY, they just were.
I had to do a lot of disbelief suspending with the mims, tbh.

So, I began playing. I kinda dig the universe and the music (not the main battle theme, but I guess I'll get used to it). However, the font/text is way too small, and that is severily keeping me from enjoying the game fully (it gets tiring for my eyes very quickly). I guess there is no way they are going to give us an update to improve the text size?
The game is full of customizable options and good ideas, but that small problem (pun intended) is annoying.

Switched my division to reclaimers. Sorry Pathfinders. I'm not dumping you because of you being in last place but because I need drops.
I'm going for the archetype weapons you create.
Any easy way to get them. I'm hunting for two of the drops and using tickets for the third one.
Wish I could just buy tickets. I have tons of cash.

Got to LV 30. Now I can pick a good Skell finally.
Tested a couple of them and so far I like the Amdusias one the best. That Scythe weapon it has is just...wow. It's perfect for my behind attack build and one hit killed most LV 40s I tried it on. 0_0
Anybody else also got recommendations or thoughts on Amdusias?

It's a very common complaint so they're no doubt aware, but I have my doubts that there will be any patches. Hopefully that's not the case though, there are a few seemingly simple quality of life changes they could make that would massively improve the game.
