Yeah I'm planning on switching to Drifter once Ive finished maxing my (third) class line.

One restriction on keeping weapon arts is you have to use one melee and one ranged... I wanted to use the healing / support arts of the knife / photon saber paired with a damage-dealing Longsword, but that's not allowed.

On that note, what's a good ranged weapon to pair with a physical melee Longsword character? I've been using assault rifle because I like the topple move, but if there's a ranged weapon that has good arts for buffs / debuffs I might try that.

Most raygun arts hit all enemies in front of you, and the weapon has access to virus, blackout and debuff res down (I think the mind control and servant sacrifice moves are also raygun-related, but I don't know if they're actually attached to knives instead). For offensive moves, you get a gravity-based topple, two multihit beams that deal a lot more damage if you have an aura active, a party-wide gravity-resistance aura and maybe some other thing I might be forgetting right now.

I'm still levelling up other classes besides Mastermind, so I'm not sure about other weapon types.

Well, turning off the Wifi on my Wii U seems to have done the trick, so at least it's not my savefile that got corrupted. More people have had this issue, but I guess there's no fix for it yet Ow well, offline play it is, I guess.

The thread tells you how to fix it, though not quite confirmed it seems. Change your language setting for the WiiU (not the country).

I struggled earlier with it. It's probably random, but I found it just next to the FN 418 site. You could go there and warp a few times to see if you're lucky.

Thanks - Mastermind happens to be the class I'm currently working on (and the last I'll max), so I'll probably switch over to Raygun once I have access to the "better" arts and some BP to spare.

By the way... does anyone know if it's worth it to keep switching classes even after you've maxed the ones you want because you earn BP with each class rank upgrade, or is the amount of BP you earn inconsequential?

Funny how getting a skell license requires zero actual skell knowledge or hands-on practice. Just gather some random items and kill a few innocent animals, and you're ready to pilot a giant transforming mech.

You and your entire team.

Ma-nons are awesome.

 

[pinkurocket]

Accepting an affinity quest and seeing that it sends me to Cauldros when I barely even touched Sylvalum (and that swimming took long enough). How do I avoid all these enemies double my level with red eye icons. ;;
O well I had just saved before it so I reset, there's no way to cancel an aff quest is there? I guess I should advance the story a bit or do basic quests.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ugh, I guess I have to rely on no-headgear option and using beach/diving armlets huh

Yup. I was definitely expecting that they'd give me a test skell and have me fight a training dummy with it inside the huge hangar in the industrial district, but no.

I haven't even tried asigning skells to side characters besides Elma and Lin yet but I guess you can, which is funny because you can just go and get L his own mech to pilot even though he had nothing to do with you passing the test and isn't even a member of BLADE AFAIK.Scouts not bringing their own skells along feels a bit weird as well (unless they do and I just happened to scout people who didn't have one yet).

The destination is written before you accept the quest btw.
You could just run there are aways low level zones here and there. Better thing to do is to wait until you get a skell. You can just speed through shit with a skell.

Still, there is an area in Cauldros that's actually at around level 35, so maybe the game was trying to send you there rather than to the areas with ridiculously overleveled enemies?

 

[Aaronrules380]

My current build has 7900 max tp. Overdrive for days!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I need to find the quest to get the last to stores open who ever I need to find to move to NLA before I do chapter 12

 

[Mupod]

it feels like it took me half the game to make my single +25 second overdrive augment but +3000 TP ones aren't too hard. But it's crazy fun with dual guns + longsword. Charge into a group of enemies, buff up offensive stance and critical power, and just go insane with true stream edge, tornado slash, blossom dance etc. I outdamage my Skell easily and I don't even have Full Metal Jaguar skills unlocked yet to make it really nuts.

 

[Insaniac]

what counts as "exploring" an area like to activate the next chapter? I thought it was placing data probes, but I've covered most of Noctilum but only at 13%

 

[StarStabbedMoon]

I wouldn't mind this myself. The Google Document is great, but I found those maps to be a life saver when scavenging for items during the gathering quests.

how do you learn blossom dance?

I don't have blossom dance yet (Working on my affinity with the char as we speak) But other than that it's pretty much my setup

 

[B-Dubs]

how do you learn blossom dance?

You have to have been born in a world of strife.

 

[Aaronrules380]

how do you learn blossom dance?

It's a unique art for a certain character

Spoiler

Nagi

. You learn it through his affinity mission (You get his first art, true stream edge, from the affinity mission where he joins you)

Ah, yea, I didn't realize you could see the location, and a skell would make this travelling much easier indeed.

Still, there is an area in Cauldros that's actually at around level 35, so maybe the game was trying to send you there rather than to the areas with ridiculously overleveled enemies?

Yea, the quest was for lvl 21 which i barely reached, and the rest of my team is at 20 so it was a lil' on the edge already. But it's ok, I'm gonna do some story quests now and try and get my skell game on point.

Data probes is one thing but that only covers the map segments with probe sites. To survey the other segments you need to kill tyrants, collect treasure, and complete normal/affinity missions that occur there.

When a segment gets a gold shield on the map that means you've completely surveyed it

Holy shit. Got it in this area after the first map load.

thanks

been really neglecting new party members all 200 hours of playing smh

I just play as Elma and keep Lin around as my tank and use who I am forced to use to move the chapters along

going to see who I can use during my 50 to 60 grind

What about the last slot? I typically always use elma and Lin as well, but you can have 4 party members

 

[Malus]

The Skell fight module quest was the first time I did proper grinding (respawning the enemies) after a little over 60 hours.


Dunno why they make you do it alone though.

Irina is my 4th most of the time or Gwin just recently

some times I just go out with only 3

Remember that you can always pretend you're playing Metal Gear Solid and sneak past most enemies. A mission in particular had me infiltrate an area full of level 50 enemies, but it was okay since the targets I was supposed to take down were level 19. For one of the targets in particular my teammates ended up alerting several really scary enemies, but since I was able to defeat the target before the lv50 guys wiped me out I still got to keep the item the quest was asking for.

it's kinda weird yeah. If it was more than 1 drop I would have abandoned the quest and just farmed the enemies in a group before picking it up again.

Also, not useful on that quest, but my trick for respawning enemies in the middle of nowhere - 'return to skell' menu option respawns stuff when you load back in. So you can drop it off nearby as a mobile respawn or just hop out of it.

 

[Shahadan]

I need a Shulk costume for Phog since he's the next best thing.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I grind so much that a lot of my ? turn into ! as so as I finish talking to that client
that always feels good man

 

[KingBroly]

I need to find the Affinity Quest that's required for Chapter 6.

I was trying forever to get 25% in Noctilim before I realized I only needed 20% >_<

Which ones are you missing?

Spoiler

Factory 1.21 starts with a basic mission quest on the quest center, by an NPC named Professor B.

Six Stars you need to do two affinity missions, I think they are prospective partners and a new challenger approaching.

You probably have the Orpheans already.

The Skell flight music sounds like something I'd hear on the radio while driving.

but I don't want to listen to it for like 4 hours straight like I ended up doing with the Noctilum theme during that one goddamn quest.

that B dude took his time machine so he is coming back to this time?

Most of the times playing this game I just turn on my own music, some of the music is good, some is awful but all of it is looped too much.

To continue B's quest,

you need to finish chapter 7 of the story at least.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'll look for that guy later

more interested in the Thundercats shop

 

[Evilkazz]

What weapon combinations are you using? After getting multiple classes to rank 10 you can mix and match whatever ranged/melee weapons you want.

Currently considering Dual guns/Knife and Assault Rifle/Photon Sword.

Many thanks, I'll look for it asap
