On top of the ring and on top of the highest point a little south of there. Think you need flying for both.

The honeymoon period sort of went over in a way, but it's just that some of the things really started to bother. Overall still enjoying the game very much.
The game's actually an interesting case to me, because I don't think I've ever played a game before that had so many flaws, both major and minor, but still pulls me so heavily.
Honestly, I just don't sell anything. It sucks a bit when wanting to put proper gear on or trying to find something specific, but those times are fairly rare to me so I don't bother with the selling.
Yeah, and equipped some of the gears I got. I dunno, its attacks weren't really different.
Maybe I'll try again later.
It was a bit confusing at first and can he overwhelming with so many systems, items and things to take into account...but slowly everything starts to click and I'm loving it. I'm advancing very slowly, doing a lot of missions and just getting lost and exploring the world. I just completed level 5 and the story is great, the surprise in that chapter was awesome and suddenly my quest is really epic. I'm loving it and will sink many more hours into it.
Btw, the other day I reached a small lone island at the south of NLA, it doesn't appear on the map and I had to swim for a while. It was just filled with overleveled crabs and a magna, I was under lvl10 so I had nothing to do there...1I let them kill me so I didn't have to swim back lol. I'll go back there once I get my skell and have my revenge!

The G Buster and BB Swords are generally good IMO. Specially orange versions of those.
Doing the legendary nopon sword quest line, pretty sure they talk about
lol
the Monado
Yes, that was why.
I bought a LV50 medium frame and was really dissapointed.
The heavy frames comes with one super advantage which is what they have slotted in their armor. The Amdusia comes with Thermal damage up on all armor (which is super awesome combined with a Phoenix) and the Mastema comes with Beam damage up which is also useful for the very easy to aquire LV30 super weapon you can get.
I might be totally wrong, but so far I see like zero reason to go with a light or medium frame (I might just not know what awesome stuff you can do with them ...).
Every now and then I sell stuff that is very low level (For instance if I'm level 20 I sell everything below level 10 gear wise.) This seems to keep my inventory more manageable for now.
Also I don't sell things that are obviously cosmetic. Like the Diving gear, turtleneck etc.
Supposedly at the higher levels, the extra slot on the light frames is extra useful. The evasion and accuracy elements come into play. Not to mention flying around drains heavy frames fuel like there is no tomorrow.
This topic has everything you need: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/701151-xenoblade-chronicles-x/72977406
Best advice I have is to not waste any of your reward tickets for useless stuff to pregress faster in the story/quests. Save them for when you REALLY need.
I did it at level 21. Those chicken robots aren't too hard to kill if you have to. Just take out there front facing laser first.
If it is Realy Trekware, you can get it as a reward from Basic Missions on the mission terminal. Just check from time to time if one is available that gives it to you. ("Arms Tester wanted" is one that should have it as a reward)
Fuel somehow never was a problem for me (I am getting about 60k payouts with 100k cap now and you can do the missions to get 30k in about 2-3minutes).
As for accuracy, I have to admit that there are sometimes a bit too many misses but for the story I wasn't much of a problem und post game framing was fine with the heavy series as well.

There are some random ones at levels 24 to 27 that might kick your ass at night. Be careful
Also, the music for Oblivia at night is just so mysterious and gooood

Hmmm. Hit level 30. I don't know if I should buy 2 sells or buy 1 skell and upgrade my ground gear for the party. What do you guys think?!

If it's for a quest, shouldn't there be some direction indicated by it? The easiest place to find regular ones is going along that valleyish place by 509, between the castle and volcano.
With the prices of those Skells, I feel that sky is the limit...

welp that

Well, you might be right
Trying to search for a last research probe, I feel that 180k is enough.

I need some G2 boosters can't find a quest for it
I have too many mining probes on the maps after I took like 10 of them off to leave the default I was able to reach 100k
you'll need as much cash as possible to build end game stuff if you are into Doll collecting
I bought Skells for everyone in my party and it made the next story mission I did (Chapter 7) a walk in the park. :Z So bear that in mind.

I don't know much about this game/series, but I need an extra game for the bby deal. If I enjoyed the tales/star ocean series would I enjoy this?

When creating gear does the game really expect you to get all those monster drops?
Even with tickets to get everything seems like it would take well over 50 hours on its own.
I'm also guessing more manufacturers unlock based on your program in the main story?
I maxed Sakuraba and am close to the maxing the second brand as well.
What else do I spend miranium on? I already did a bunch of miranium sidequests. I take in close to my limit of 13500 as I have only two storage probes I put near a booster.

Watch (some of) the survival guide videos linked in the OP. if that doesn't sound interesting to you then maybe skip it? This is nothing like a Tales game for one.

there is a learning curve but yeah this is up there as far as JRPGs go
Oh wait, Tobias will give me a duplicator probe for finishing that quest, neat.
I have 14 G8 ones without looking for it!
Indeed, there is crazy tons of mining probes.

Some are also tied to affinity missions and sidequests. The BFFs affinity mission that opens up early on should give you another manufacturer, for example.

Question. If I change my probes will I get back the probe I'm replacing or will it be lost forever? Cause I haven't really been paying attention too much to the links. I'm lol 30 now
1. Yep, its pretty terrible. I would save all my tickets for the LV60 Skells.
2. 4 unlocked from the story, 4 from side quests
3. Quests, AMs, adding augment slots to equipment, FUEL
No they are not lost, you get them back if you replace it.
You do get them back.

good with gravy
They talk about some trading card collecting in the game. Too bad it's not actual collectibles

NICE! So does anyone have a map or something for the best probe placement, because I'm thinking about starting my probe map from scratch.

So can you never put Frye and Phog in your party together or do you have to do the affinty mission that requires both to be at 3 hearts first?

If I had storage probes I would just them but I am capped at 28k and I was mining 50k and it was hurting my credits at 80k
removing mining to get close to what I am capped at raised my funds to 100k
I wish I had more storage and research probes
some sites I have yet to find even though I am flying
one area has two sites on top of a mountain with a north and south peak
the north peak has a level 5 site and the south has huge plants had horse creatures and a lake but I have no clue where the beam is hidden
so many of them are hidden like this

From what I've seen, you get division points from doing your division related activities. Everyday when you first log into the game, you get division spoils from global division rankings, which you go to Blade barracks to claim. Main purpose is getting division points grants you items and increases your Blade level which allows you to upgrade your mechanical, biological, etc skills to unlock treasure while exploring. This is crucial as FrontNav data probes are mostly found in mechanical treasure chests and through some quests.
It's actually very important to increase your Blade level by doing quests, etc. to gain division points. Without your mechanical level going up for instance, you will be locked out of like half of mechanical treasure chests on the planet. Those chests contain money but also FrontNav probes which you need to put down. FrontNav probes most important functions to me is creating most of the fast travel points on huge areas on the continents, expanding the area around that segment with more visibility, and gaining Miranium to upgrade your AMs to get better equipment.
You need those fast travel points to explore/grind deeper into the continents for money and for quick jump starts for many quests which can net u alot of money too. Ultimately, it depends on how much you plan on doing with the game. If it costs a million or more for some of the great Skells or quite a bit for certain equipment, you'll see how important getting Frontier Nav probes to explore and grind is early on.
I hope that helps
Ugh, flying again. Oh, well. 3 chapters more.

You guys weren't kidding this game was addicting. If it weren't for the small text, I would've probably stayed up all night and played it. I still need to get the basics down (like those gathering quests) but i'm already at chapter 3 and having a hoot. Finally found my World of Warcraft replacement as I was thinking of going back to WOW.
I do have a question though, I don't there is any death penalty from dying without a skill (not there yet) but wonder if someone can clear it up for me.

it is not always flying if your jump game is patient
I love the jump puzzles in this game
there is one puzzle I have yet to solve that is a strange structure sticking out of a cliff face and has a rupee like shape it has a treasure spot and a cave door but even with a flying skill landing on it I have no clue how to reach the door or treasure
so there are solutions beyond flying, I feel I need to jump away and turn around to land on the lower part or the cave has another opening below
before I was able to fly I was able to reach many areas and Skell jumps open even more areas
Does the light frame Skell seem useless to anyone? I mean, it's supposed to be evading, but all you need is two or three hits and bye bye one insurance, it's not even uncommon to get one shot by special attack. Heck, I felt like why bother with anything but Heavy Skell. May be things will change when I get to do air battle or something.

Well, in my quest for some spherical EM motors I finally found a route somehow to this part of Noctilum:
This proper chopper quest got me really sidetracked from the main story.

Those are (Prototype) trekpants and Trekware (for the shirt). IIRC, as far as style goes, Phog's default outfit is actually the male version of that, so if you equip it on a female she'll get a color variation of that outfit.
