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.
That is the main story :O

How hard is it to get coop questing with a friend going? Reading the OP it sounds like you need to be members of a 31 member passive squad then invite 4 people to a real time mission? Is it possible to just invite someone from your friends list/or at least meet up with them in game easily?

Finally got some party members to 30, bought the heavy mech and some light one for Elma
, gave lin the starter smell, decked out my heavy to realize I need more cash now. How viable is assault rifle and saber combo for anyone who's done it?

If you find the Weeping Whitewood (north of 215 I think) you can find the motor there. It's a rare blue orb though.

I'm before Mission 4 and not have that one yet.
That sucks. All 12 weapons have an archetype version for level 20, 40 and 60.
They have the same stats as regular weapons and come with multiple augments standard. They're pretty plain though.
The ticket system is useless for this because each part costs 30 tickets while killing a squad monster is like one ticket.
I can definitely see putting in 300 hours to get everything in the game.
I can live without the archetype weapons but I need those weird outfits.

Man i really screwed up the
quest. I REALLY should have checked my "info" before the ending. I thought it was just a throwaway decision. Apparently
I've never considered myself one for hyperbole but holy shit 40 hours in this might be one of my favorite games of all time.
Proper Chopper
the chopper crashed and someone died

Guys, do I need to buy this game? I'm itching to buy it but I have so many games to play. It's wounding me. It looks so good. I don't know if I have the time right now
Someone dies regardless of your choice. You only decide who...
boiled goose
good with gravy
The house of cards mission is not popping up on the mission terminal...
Im afraid i abandoned it or something and it is gone forever

I didn't venture quite that far but still geez. anyway I got to planting a shit ton of probes in Noctilum so it wasn't a complete waste of time. I'm done with that mission for now though, thankfully it's not an affinity mission.

IMO, this game is a must buy for RPG fans that have a WII U. However, LOL, i'm in the same boat as you with having so many games but it is worth it; especially when you can play on the gamepad while a football or hockey game is on TV.
I think you also need to do the "Ties That Bind" affinity mission beforehand, that should be available immediately after Chapter 4.
Started Chapter 4, got ambushed by enemies double my current level along what felt like the right path to take to the first story objective after you cross over into the next region. I guess more side quests for now...
Really liking the game, I almost didn't buy it yet because I wanted to play other stuff I own already. I managed to put in about 11 hours so far and it has gone by very quickly.
At this point the story is a mix of compelling motivation and "what the hell?", but regardless I'm still drawn in by the world.
Also, had a tense moment of a level 81 simian (or whatever they're called) running around by the east gate ready for battle. I was doing a quest that involved being in that area, had to ditch a couple battles when I saw him approaching.

It's there, but it's dialed back. It's not as important to manage as it was in XB, for a number of reasons (The biggest one being that characters aren't really as squishy compared to each other as in the first one, and the other one being that enemies don't immediately track you, so you can circle an enemy who is aggroing you for positional benefits). There are a few Taunt skills that immediately pull an enemy's attention, which is most of the aggro management that I've seen.

A couple questions for you folks:
Is there a convenient way to look at all your available party members and their ranks/levels without manually finding them? I'm approaching too many to keep track of.
In the "crafting" are the armor/weapons' materials needed obtained from monsters whose levels are close to the level of the item? I don't want to waste my time if I can't kill the mobs who drop the materials.
Is there any way to find who drops what other than the internet or strategy guide? I know a few quest givers have led me in the direction of where I need to go, but it seems like a lot of blind searching.

Guys, I'm doing the "A New Rival" affinity quest. The only task left is "Research", where it says "Earn 3,000 credits from FrontierNav is a single return". The task specifically asks to install Research probes, but does the revenue have to come from research probes? I have a chain of 3 mining probes II, along with 2 research probes and some others scattered, and am totally not sure how much i'm getting in each "return". Halp?
Click on any of the continents on your gamepad map then press the green hex button on the right. It will show you how much cash and Miranium you get per turn on the bottom right.

Just unlock as many probes sites as you can and you should get 3000. Look at the gamepad and click on change probe to see how much you are revenue you are generating.
Really? I thought the choice was basically an either or. That's what I had read after I completed it.
Now I just feel like shit.
It's a blast to play, but a big time sinker. You can spend hours just wandering around, messing with the mechanics, and doing endless side quests. The game also doesn't tell you how to do a lot of stuff, so you have to figure it out (I think that's part of the fun). I'd say go for it, but I'm a bit biased because I'm having a lot of fun and have free time.Guys, do I need to buy this game? I'm itching to buy it but I have so many games to play. It's wounding me.

Thanks! So if it says Mining Total : 5890 and Revenue Total: 3010, I am bringing in that much Miranium/CR per return? Oddly I had never noticed those numbers.
I swear they needed to have explained all of FrontierNav much better in the beginning.

Are you really looking at the right place? If you choose on the hexagonal map where they're supposed to be, it should say that the character will be there. Gwin and Irina are on street level, Doug is on the upper floor of the hangar. Alternatively, there's an affinity quest around that point that makes all three of them inaccessible, so if you've started it that might be the problem. Just scout a random Blade member for a while if you want a 4 man party for that quest.
Its not really the number of research probes. You need booster and duplicator probes and then just make the right combination.

Using the affinity chart you can check their affinity levels, but I don't think you can see their full stats.
I haven't looked at weapons much, but at least for armor there's no relation between the level of the components and the level of the weapon. You can buy all monster material drops with the multiplayer bonus tickets in your BLADE console (the room with the other player's avatars), but high level ones cost a lot.
The game actually keeps track of that. Face a monster, get a new material drop, then the monster information will list the material in their profile - and not only their own, the material also will be listed for all monsters that drop it.
thanks! that was my error..I selected the affinity quest they were restricted from..haha...
If you master the final class in the class ''path'' you can equip those weapon regardless of your class.
Yeah, that was pretty much what I am doing since I got my Skell. Jumping all over the places. It greatly helped me a lot to cover almost all of the places in each region. It's too tiring though

Yup, Arts are tied to weapon types so you can't mix any Art you've ever learned.
And you can still use the weapons from other classes while leveling another IIRC.
Oh man i found this Orange back gun for my Skell which im pretty sure is some shotgun sniper cause holy hell does it put monster to shame! Its soo good, i instantly spam it when i go "seed" when in battle. Gonna find out name of the weapon too see if anyone else has it too.
You can use weapons of the class u mastered regfradless if u switch classes to something else to level up. for example i can use dual guns/swords even though im leveling the spear/sniper class since i mastered the former

I got myself a labrador in my barracks <3
Just finished the story. Took me 114 hours and 17 minutes. I finished with a global survey rate of 57.66%.
I'll spoiler tag my impression even though they will be spoiler free.

What a disappointment... Such a paper thin story. When you are in the story it's really great and it hits a lot of good tropes for me. And even with the bare bone story that we got they still filled it with pointless thing like normal quest. With at least a whole chapter being completely useless in term of story. It could've been a normal mission.
The silent protagonist was such a mistake in my opinion. The game also pretty much never acknowledge your fourth party member, it could be a wood stick and we would be none the wiser. I also hate how the game never ''acknowledge'' your skell and are always ignored in cut-scene. I won't talk about the ending here but it was interesting, I liked it.
And with all these shortcomings the game was still fun to play, I wouldn't have put so many hours into it otherwise. I hope if we do get a Xenoblade 3 whether it's a sequel or a spiritual sequel I hope Monolith goes back to a way to portray the story more like the first and less like this game.

I think my game is bugged guys, for whatever reason my skell insurance doesn't seem to go down lol
If you have a perfect on the QTE when your skell blow up it doesn't go down.

this was exactly me last night lol. I didn't even realise I was out of primordia
I think it only depends on the weapons. I've been farming some giant overleveled enemy crabs in Oblivia using my skell only thanks to the BFSword that deals >50% damage to them and lets me go for a bind to get the fuel back. Grinding class levels has become a lot easier now I realized I could just beat all four lv 41-45 crabs easily, reset the area and go for it again until I reach my desired class skills.
Perhaps all this random grinding will help me beat the next story boss without having to lower its level after dying too many times to it.

Folks, I've just finished chapter 3 and the more I play the more this game looks awesome!
As pathfinder,I've gone exploring a small part of this world.
Now I would like to stay at home and do all the missions, talk with everybody of NLA. But I'm wondering about the best strategy with divisions:
Shall I go for Mediator before making everything in NLA and then pay for going back to Pathfinders?
Are you sticking always with the same division?
