You can get a ton of probes by being brave and sneaking past hostile enemies, it's not actually that difficult most of the time. Really the only ones you shouldn't be getting are the ones hard-gated by impassable terrain and Rank 5 Mechanics ones. It's also pretty feasible to fight things up to ten levels above your own too, which is a great way to level quickly. In general the game rewards you for taking risks and pushing your luck and you'll probably have alot more playing that way too

I've flattened things 5 levels above myself, and been absolutely crushed by even level enemies, or even tyrants a couple levels below me. A huge amount of the world is open to you at any given time, and if you see a high level monster blocking your path, there's probably some other way around. The monsters are part of the environment - just treat them like cliff faces for now. You might assume that the adjacent continents of Oblivia and Noctilum are 'high level' at first, but that's just not true. They've got big veins of Lv10-15 critters running through them that you can use as channels to safely explore, and a little bravery will let you sneak around to checkpoints that you might think would be out of reach for now. Feel that explorer spirit and take some risks! Dominic White fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Dec 12, 2015 |

zedprime posted:I think the idea is that NLA was up and running in the White Whale, which would require a broad stripe of society. They were in it for the long haul so they didn't just want a crew only sort of deal for psychological reasons, hence husband and wife pairs and NLA facility staff. Jo was the best and brightest barista they chose for staffing, breaking things is just a small problem for a well staffed engineering complement. Yeah, except all those people are asleep in the Lifehold. They actually outright state the only ones awake were/are technicians and security.

All this time I've been loving around at the start of chapter 4 trying to find a single tyrant to fight, like in West Gate Plains or sometrhing, and I can't find evidence that they even loving exist below level 45 or so. Obviously I'm doing something wrong here but I just wanna fight some giant that I actually have a chance at

But if you wanna fight something huge, you won't stand much of a chance until you get skells. Enemy levels are kinda relative to the species, so even low level big monsters will have boatloads of health and can kick you around pretty easily

If you want to fight some small tyrants, there's a few around level 11 or 12, I've found 2 or 3 in Noctilum and maybe 1 or 2 in Primordia. They're not necessarily always there though, I assume they have some spawn or despawn conditions since one kicked my face in and then disappeared by the time I ran back to it. For colors I've been sticking to grays & purples up to a few levels higher than me, as far as hex colors, purples & blues are relatively safe, & you can run through greens & yellows with a little difficulty if you're racing to plant probes or get a treasure, quest item, etc. There isn't any penalty for dying when you're not using a skell but time, so you might have more fun if you give mad dashing a try to unlock more fast travel areas (probes, landmarks, etc). I'm level 20 at the start of Ch. 5 but I've already been able to visit all 5 continents! With more fast travel spots, it's easier to take risks on things to kill too.

You're always in a 32 man group passively and you and a buddy can join the same group but you won't be playing together (You'll just see NPC's with each others characters). Sometimes when playing (pretty often) your 32 man group will get a task bar to kill a bunch of random monsters, if you do your part and you and your team slaughter what the game asks you'll be given quests that you can turn in that lets you send a invite to your buddy and everyone else in that 32 man group to join. That's the only way to actually play with people. ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Dec 12, 2015 |

Found a third superweapon file, this one is the "Zenith Cannon" Found it on a floating sky island just off the west side of that gigantic claw of rock that points at NLA, a little north of a giant robot sitting on a similar island in the sky. This one is also level 50, and takes 20,000 Miranium, 6 Tempus Glyphs, 6 Eerie Lightning Tentacles, 12 Damask Metal, 24 Tempered Blade Module, and 2 Lionbone Bort.

I feel like my ticks of Miranium have been slower than usual. Because I am running out of fuel and waiting for it to tick to refuel up but I feel like its taking forever, like I feel there is a quest I have that is slowing it down or something. On a different but related note does money and miranium not tick when you are afk but have the game still running? Also, my mining charts.No Cauldros Not perfect, but since I've taken these I have 190k now and I still have an unused duplicator probe. The big thing to do is that duplicator and booster in Oblivia, thats 45k right there.

I'm not nearly as far into this game as everyone else is. But I just had an exhilirating stealthy experience wading through the deep parts of Noctilum, looking for Schneider, the Cliffpercher. This game seemed iffy when I started but now that I'm understanding it more it's feeling more like Xenoblade, which is good because Xenoblade, man.
