Each probe location has their own grades for Resources/revenue

the location has nothing to do with it, it was the same location but with different probes.

There must be a G2 link there. You can combo lined up 3 or more probes of the same level and type for increased overall effectiveness.

oh, I thought you could just combo probes of the same type. now everything makes more sense

 

[JulianImp]

You can always farm curators XP in Oblivia. There's a tiny tiny cavern filled with collectibles. 200 BLADE xp every 40 seconds. Really boring but if you watch something while doing it it should be easily manageable.

Oh, and that's conveniently right next to the crabs I had been farming for exp all this time! Guess I'll do that as well the next time I happen to be around that area.

 

[BlueEyedBeast]

I figure I'll stick with the Pathfinders until I've set up the majority of Frontier Net. After that I may settle into the Curators...

Spoiler

Say NO to Prospecting!

 

[random25]

Curators are the best team. We have Mia and Murderess on the squad!

 

[Xenoboy]

Did some good progress today. Every time I start the game I end up playing for hours -_-
Did the Yelv quest, A day in life and the Tatsu affinity missions. Everyone should do A day in life, it's really funny.
I have some pictures saved, I'll post them sometime tomorrow.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Agreed. I think more interesting quest design and getting rid of any collectables in quests (besides maybe basic quests if they must exist) would be really fantastic.

I actually somewhat prefer the affinity quests as a side to the main story, there's something about them that I just like.

 

[StarStabbedMoon]

huh i wonder what sword that is

Tatsu and the nopon are like walking nostalgia references to the first Xenoblade.

 

[ultimalionbgh]

My Ares 90!! Spoiler only contain mech images. Anyone can guess the anime character I based it on? ^^

[Otakumegane]

Soul Voices are an excellent example of randomness in games that can feel fun. You have to constantly make decisions about whether to save this art for a voice, for the 2nd CD or just use it now for dmg.

Until OCgear breaks ground combat but lol.

 

[ivysaur12]

I took this yesterday. I am in love.

 

[Finalow]

whenever you get one of those missions where they don't even give a hint as to where to find the item, that's where this comes in hand
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...V4tjXXHLEhRMrARzZMYAUGmyZ4/htmlview?sle=true#

Go to collepedia. It's also great for enemy locations too if you want to grind or need a specific drop from a specific enemy and don't remember where to find them.

that seems useful for completing the Collectopedia.

but yeah, after searching online I found out where to find the item needed. I guess that's how I'm going to finish those quests from now on.

I made a build around TP sklls and garnering TP fast, so I always leave my damage dealing TP art for later. I might start trying out Overclock as I should theoretically be able to get 3000 TP fairly fast, I just need to see how fast and if it's viable while in overclock.

 

[El Odio]

Man it's been like 3 days since I made an progress in the story. +40 hours clocked and I'm still putting off starting chapter 7. Exploring NLA and doing all the sidequests is just too fun.

Where can I find

mamapon? She's missing after she went fishing. Currently doing the BFF.

 

[tizaffy]

Yes. If you wanna know how (not a story spoilers)

Spoiler

It's L affinity quest that opens it. It costr Miranium to open slots. And the number of slots is tied to the quality of the equipment.

wow this is very useful. thanks!

 

[pinkurocket]

Cool to see some Curators getting repped here. It's my first choice as well, and I like their logo.

 

[Jolkien]

If you want a ''guide'' for the Squad mission I found it on Gamefaqs (check the other pages too if you search on the first page doesn't find what you are looking for)

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/701151-xenoblade-chronicles-x/72986279

Really useful to farm tickets.

Curators for life.

 

[Jackano]

Played for most of my free time during the 3 last days.
Lv.27, chapter 6, first Skell.

For now there is only a couple things who still bothers me, the worst being:
No way of locating shit collectibles. NPC should give hints about them, collecpedia should
locate them once you find one or find the hint; etc... Even names of areas aren't automatically indicated on your map, unless your discover the right thing. That's a shame, the map isn't really helpful as a map in the end. It's just a clickable list for teleporting and probe management.

 

[Renewed]

I'm tempted to start a new save so I can track down every heart-to-heart before the cutoff point. I imagine people have been able to find some for Alexa, Bozé, H.B. and Yelv (since they aren't counted in map segment completion but that's still content dammit).

Near FN Site 209 I think. iirc I got a navigation marker and just followed that.

Goddamnit Mia, I hope next time I see here, it's in the stomach of some Tyrant...

[Zendoc]

For those with the disc version of the game AND the data packs downloaded :

Does your wii u make some loud noises when loading the main screen (and NLA) ?
When you're boosting/flying with your Skell, ennemies are appearing immediately or does it take some times after reaching the ground (2 or 3 seconds) ?

 

[TheMoon]

You know what? When they announced the Wii U, I thought "damn this will be awesome to use the map on the gamepad". I own the Wii U since release and this is the first time, that the gamepad does something really useful, which is annoying in other games.

You've been playing the wrong games.

Takes 2-3 seconds. And yeah the Wii U sound you heard is the drive reading the disc.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Does anyone know where

nagi

is? Be cause I want that person in my party


Edit: found them

 

[BlueEyedBeast]

The Curator lifestyle is probably more in tune with my playstyle (Tyrants and collectibles), but I'm gonna' stick with Pathfinders until I do a fair bit more exploring.

 

[Lexxism]

Where can I change the face of my character or even the gender? I'm done with chapter 9.

Near FN Site 209 I think. iirc I got a navigation marker and just followed that.

Yeah, I just redid the quest since it's not showing on my navigation. I read that there's a bug on it if you did the quest first on Oblivia. Anyway, I'm done now. Thanks again.

 

[Xenoboy]

God, I just saw that I have 30 hours clocked and haven't even started Chapter 5...
Anyone else loves Vandham? He's one of my favorites.

Well, I don't notice it when playing (using headphones), but when I go to the title screen after a session and take off my headphones, then yes, the Wii U's disc drive is noisy.

There're two prequisite missions you've got to take from some guy named Yardley or something, and those are available as soon as you're done with episode five.

Go to the quest board and I believe it's something about finding a lost key card

 

[Kouriozan]

I have been Mediator the whole time and I'm almost max BLADE level so it won't matter soon.
If my Skell get destroyed I always get perfect at the prompt so the Skell insurance never go down, don't really need the division reward, plus my division is always in the last 3 positions anyway.

Wait. There's a cutoff point for heart to hearts?

I don't think so.

 

[brau]

yay! i just got my copy in the mail.

 

[Renewed]

Wait. There's a cutoff point for heart to hearts?

I don't think it's significant enough to worry about on the first playthrough. Besides, even then you can still complete all map segments regardless.

If you want to know,

Spoiler

it's only for one person and it happens at chapter 9.

 

[JulianImp]

What difference does the division you choose from make?

Basically, it changes which field actions level up your BLADE level as well as the daily rewards you get (andthat depends on how well your division stacks up each day against the others score-wise, which is why prospectors keep getting to choose from all rewards and the rest are stuck choosing from the lower-tier ones).

Your reward for reaching new BLADE levels are extra customization options in your barracks and field skill level-ups. The former is okay, but the latter is vital for stuff such as interacting with probes (BTW, always max mechanical first).

 

[WonkyPanda]

When I think about playing, I get really fatigued. Wonder if that's normal.

 

[Fishious]

I don't think that is actually correct. I unlocked that device by doing the normal quest from the woman who is right next to L's affinity mission point.

 

[JulianImp]

Ooh, that means I'll just have to redeem some monster drops to gather the monster materials I was missing to complete the latest mission she had given me. That's way better than having to wait for one more story chapter.

This one explains what the benefit of each divisions http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Division

 

[Jolkien]

The game has a staggering amount of side content. I don't think it's normal, but if you start feeling this way maybe at least focus more on the main story to finish the narratives, you can continue pretty much everything in the post-game.

 

[El Odio]

So party members know how to operate their skells as effective as normal combat right? Are there any benefits if anyone is given a particular frame/weapon?

 

[JulianImp]

Nope, so you can just go ahead and give them all heavy frames for the extra tankyness and g-busters to make quick work of most regular enemies.

 

[blue_phazon]

Anyone have a link to that spreadsheet of monsters/items/etc?

 

[Vena]

Nope, so you can just go ahead and give them all heavy frames for the extra tankyness and g-busters to make quick work of most regular enemies.

Make one a sniper with thermal weapons if possible in a Mastema/Lailah. Potentially, you should be the one piloting it. You'll make quick work of body parts that greatly help you in the harder battles.

I can't decide which frame is better:

Amdusias
Mastema
Lailah
Urban

They all have their perks, Urban has the best Overdrive damage (but kills itself), Lailah has permanent overdrive and Overdrive regen making it one of the best tanks, and Amdusias is a fuel syphoning machine and thermal damage is off the charts.
