You may be right on %-modifiers from armor/weapons being separate but I've done tests with the Boost.EVA across armor/weapons and seen it cap out at 100%. Though I want to go back and check that to make sure it is actually true and that I didn't make a mistake.

Grats! What levels were you and what Skells did you use? I took a run at it myself (around the same time as you, hah), but (WARNING: end boss spoilers)
I got my ass handed to me during the first phase of the Lao fight.
So this happened when I defeated awith tornado blade inside the water plant.sentry
It also causes a weird day/nightime hybrid as well.
what class do you need to unlock that sword?

FINAL BOSS SPOILERS
The last fight is pretty easy with Skells if you have a super weapon like the Hexad Partican (which you can get from Alexa's 2nd or 3rd Affinity Quest IIRC). Of course with the last part being on foot you have to deal with it in Ground Gear, but you can fire off a shot of the Partican before all of your fuel is drained if your're fast enough.
It's a Longsword so Striker > Samurai Gunner > Duelist.
I know that
Nagi
The one i'm using is dropped by
Daadan, The Strongest Prone (FN307 and he's level 77)
Mighty Glaive: Galaxy Chief
I know what I need to work on later then :3
it is in the east on top a a montain near a spring
Overdrive damage scaling.

Thanks. Finally taking combat seriously. The Byzantine menu structure and combat mechanics just kind of made my eyes glaze over and forced me to brute-force my way through combat for most of the game, so now I'm trying to actually consider stats and things.

So just hit 30 and I can grab atleast two Skells. Which ones would be the strongest?

You want to farm Lugalbanda, The Wanderer-King. He's a high level tyrant tucked away in a cave in Noctilum and drops a 444 attack power ether long sword (Receding Rust)which looks almost identical to that katana, but with gold trimming instead. It's an absolute monster. The tyrant can be pretty tricky to kill though.

That's the sword i've been gunning for recently.... But that tyrant doesn't die for me. So grinding for a better setup to try killing it.
Cleansing Spring. Southeast part of the continent.
I like that sword. Its auto-attack damage swing is so huge, but melee arts damage are godlike. I only replaced it when I got a 500+ gravity-based katana (forgot the name).

Hello

Thanks for the tips. I guess I'll try killing both and then focus on putting something together to kill whoever seems to be the weaker of the two after I get decimated.

That's what happened to me too. I heard he dropped a good sword, rolled up to that cave fresh into the post game thinking I'd steamroll him despite neglecting my ground game since unlocking skells... big mistake.

Holy shit man I grabbed one Asmodeus for the moment and it is destroying. Managed to fight off a level 48 tyrant and gained a level off it. The jump from 30 to 33 took about 15-20 minutes completely insane. What do you mean by Phoenix though? Custom weapon or Skell?

I have a couple of questions. Been playing as much as possible around work and holiday real life stuff, I think I'm a little over 35 hours of playtime. Don't have a Skell yet, been exploring a lot, in the midst of chapter 6.
I always play Lifehold but I enjoy seeing what everyone else in the squad is up to. Do messages appear in real time? Seems like I see the same messages appear almost as if only a few people who have written are selected and shared. Can the main game be completed in the second multiplayer mode? Anyone here been primarily playing this as an mmo and if so, how has the experience been?
Where are these sightseeing spots and do I need a skell to find them? Also, I've used the probe guide from the first page to make sure I'm setting the main ones correctly, but I'm a little confused as to how the storage probes work. How do I know if miranium and such is being allocated there?
Anything special I should be doing in NLA besides affinity quests and armory alley (and of course the mission board)? Any guides here to augments and how to best make use of the shops?
Thanks <3

You mean Katana Longswords?

Do you really have to find each party member you recruit in the city before missions? It says I've just unlocked Doug and the other 2, but having trouble finding them/having them as party members?

There are many parts of the game where you won't be in a Skell or a Skell can't access so don't neglect your ground gear.
edit: And in some circumstances ground gear is more efficient than skells
Found it, thanks. This thing place, took over and hour. One step closer to making elder Nan happy!

I see this pic been posted everywhere but people always forget to mention that you HAVE TO HAVE all the scenic view points in Oblivia to get 130k credits, otherwise you only get 90-100k.
Party at level 50. One level 50 skell, three level 30 skells.
I also ignored augments and upgrades all game, but for the final boss I did equip some augments (both to my characters and skells) and I also upgraded my equipped gear with the material I had available.
The whole fight was quite easy, except for the last part when he goes berserk on you.

LAST PART OF THE BOSS FIGHT:
You can't use your skells because Lao uses some sort of special attack that drains all your fuel.
And I'm not sure if this happened to everyone, but Lao went ape shit on me when he was JUST about to die. He killed my whole team out of nowhere and when he came for me, I ran to my skell and used one of those fuel tanks you get from division rewards. Then I unleashed all my arts before he could drain my fuel. :lol :lol :lol
He died and it was quite epic.

Phoenix is a Skell weapon, can reliably be farmed in Sylvalum.
Some appear real-time, but popular messages are periodically cycled to all players. Leave most of the sightseeing spots to when you get a skell or a flying one. All miranium is stored; it goes nowhere else. Quests are littered about NLA, occasionally checking about for them isn't a bad idea; you're close to a skell though so best to wait till then I guess. Leave augments to post-game or when you're stuck. Level up Sakuraba.
Yes, check you map on the gamepad and memorize where they are.

Thank you! Do other players know when I've added their character to my party, for instance when I see one out while exploring and use them for the 30 minutes? Do they see any benefits and likewise if someone else were to use my character?
Would still love to know how the multiplayer element is in this. I'm a bit hesitant to try because I don't want to be too low level and thrust into something unprepared.
You can do that by clicking an FN sites. It will tell you how many you have unlocked and how they are on that site.

Yes, whenever someone scouts you, you will see a notification on top-left that says so with the person who scouted you in the message. Benefits for being scouted include some EXP gain and an item of random rarity; these can be collected from the terminal to the right of the mission board. You will know when you have rewards waiting if the scout rewards icon is lit up on the gamepad. Scouting benefits the player by getting blade medals that they can use for actual multiplayer nemesis battles; these are pretty tough, best to have a lv 30 skell at least before you would probably enjoy it..

Achievements maybe? I don't know.
But if you click on the FN Site you can see how many sightseeing spots you have discovered in that area.
So this happened when I defeated awith tornado blade inside the water plant.sentry

I'm in love with your armor set!
Isn't there an achievement for each scenic view? Check your achievement list.

You are so informative and helpful. I really appreciate your tips. If you have anything else to share based on your experience with the game I'd love to hear it.
Saw the other outcome to the

quest where you have to defeat the Telethia or report back to the Orphe. Wish I kept the dialogue on hand because it was pretty interesting. Apparently the Ovah has a relation to the Telethia?

I love this girl. D:
Mia is just the best, right? Well, at least after Irina.
Has anyone noticed how passive aggressive Hope can be in her heart-to-heart? I wanted to tell a joke and she called me a jerk twice.
That's not true. I got my income to 124k credits with that setup and only the scenic view points you can get on foot (like 2?).
When I got the rest with my flying Skell my income shot up to 245k from the rest of the view points.
i think people are just starting to mess around with the mulitplayer here, I haven't dared to try myself and I already have a skell. I did find this post from a japanese player on reddit helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/3u77rz/xenoblade_x_multiplayer_information_thread/
Yeah the Ovah and the Telethia come from the same world.
Pretty sure it work that way too. I tried to raise the eva of my skell to insane lvl and at some point a +25% only was giving +8 when I was around 600.
