When you max out Drifter, try the top line of classes. You do some great damage with the longsword and assault rifle, along with some pretty beefy damage Arts.

The Haywire Quest itself is available at that location from Rosie. It might only be at night, but that's when I found it. Oh, right, I did that prerequisite, I never thought to head back to there though. I'll check it out soon.

I'm ready to get my skell license, am level 27 and have $2.1m at my disposal. What's the best bang for my buck? Alternatively, should I wait to buy something until I'm level 30 or have more money? E: god I love the stupid owl horn enemies.

I still have conflicted feelings about vuvuzela birds. On one hand, gently caress vuvuzelas. On the other hand, they do some weird poo poo on the field when they aren't trying to box your ears off.

The E-Scythe is hilariously overpowered if you can smash someone from behind with it, and the Skell itself gets some great melee damage bonuses.

Oh wow that green Orb in Sylvalum is the best kept easy mode secret in the entire game. All you have to do is go inside the orb entrance, which is located on the side and you'll see a huge pillar.

So, now I've just beat chapter 5 and gotten the Nopon Merchants up and running. I have a bunch of quests popping up and another question for the vets. What elements are best against what? I have no idea other than Thermal vs. Theroids (still not sure what those are) and Gravity vs. mechs, which flavor text tells you. Phys, Electric, Ether and Beam though? No clue. Also, I'm now a bit conflicted on working on side missions vs advancing the story. I want to recruit people and maybe do some affinity missions, but if I blitz chapter 6 I can get my Skell. Right now I think I'll go with a few normal missions and a few affinity missions before forging on so I can explore Mira in style.

So somewhere around 10-15 hours in I picked up a quest at the Dorian Caravan to escort a Nopon merchant into a Prone base while he hocks his wares and wound up picking the option to gather more Kiweggs rather than fight (I was underlevelled at the time and thought it'd be easier). I ignored gathering them out of laziness, and only just noticed some 90 hours later that he's still basically riding in my backpack. Poor little bastard's been kidnapped and lugged across all of Mira, and through most of the story. I think I might go finish it and set the little guy free after I finish the last chapter of the story .

Ashsaber posted:So, now I've just beat chapter 5 and gotten the Nopon Merchants up and running. I have a bunch of quests popping up and another question for the vets. Going off the top of my head... Insectiods are bugs and... pretty much anything with an exoskeleton in general. Typically somewhat weak to Ether and Thermal, and usually sports a small to moderate amount of Physical resistance. Piscinoids are assorted inexplicably flying aquatic stuff. Mild weakness to Ether and a large weakness to Electric. As each and every single one of them flies, they also have a species-wise weakness to Gravity. Theroids are pretty much everything else not found in another category. Mild Ether weakness and a larger weakness to Thermal. No special resistances. Humanoids have a mild weakness to Beam and a small amount of Ether resist. Mechanoids have a small amount of Ether and Fire resist to back up their moderate Physical resist, but have a mild weakness to Beam and Electric to go with their heavy Gravity vulnerability. Chimeroids and Ultrafauna resist everything, but if you're fighting them for real you're probably past the point where you need to worry about that sort of thing. If you'd rather reference by damage type- Physical: Less effective against bugs and mechs. Beam: Good against humanoids and mechs. Nothing specifically resists it. Ether: Slightly less effective against humanoids and mechs, but almost everything else is mildly weak to it. Thermal: Great against beasts, good against bugs. Mechs resist it. Elec: Great against fish, good against mechs. Nothing specifically resists it. Gravity: Great against mechs, good against anything that flies. Nothing specifically resists it.

I spent the day collecting holofigures from Tyrants. The only continent I have left is cauldros. I was even able to get Millepod A from Noctilum. It spawns only on thunderstorms in Suncatch Ravine. For whatever reason the imgur guide I'm using on my phone that shows the locations of 370+ tyrants is not appearing on my computer.

It's usually better to just equip some high damage weapons and out damage the resistance. I just swap out damage% augs if I need a boost for a specific fight.

Jesus gently caress! Chapter 12 is loving ridiculous! I can' get past the 2nd form of the Vita boss. Every time I weaken him he puts up the barrier thing and I can't hurt him anymore. I then go to take out the shield probe but by the time I take that out it is already too late. I'm about to say gently caress this game. Is there some type of strategy I am missing here?

Leave your skells and die three times to keep them around for easy mode. I generally went for the orbs for the first two thirds of the fight, making sure to tell my teammates to go for whatever I am targeting, making sure to keep my Overdrive for later. When the shield's up I went after the shield orb and sicced my teammates on it as well, all while ignoring the four orbs around the shield orbs because for whatever reason they almost never take damage. When the shield orb's down I just sic everyone on the main boss, activate Overdrive and hope it goes on for long enough to take it down. And also, this is vitally important, don't get too attached to your skells and be ready for ground combat. I wasn't and it made things even worse.
