ImpAtom posted:A lot of items you will get just by normal play. I was able to make a good chunk of high-end augments just by random poo poo I had lying around. I don't mean augments. I can make a few of those through random play. I'm talking specifically equipment. I've never had the bits to just make one, I have to buy them each time. Your guide about appendages before shows why since I'm not randomly killing stuff and blowing off arms and legs. It's just a strange choice. Very JRPG I guess. And I know that, I'm actually asking for specifics. Is there anywhere that's "known" to be good or is it randomly determined and I have to find it myself? I find using the Wii U remote tedious and the screen isn't sensitive enough so it takes me loving forever. Thanks for the information about the quest. I had no idea. Another one I'd have completely missed, so annoying. This game seriously lacks breadcrumbs.

If you have a Skell you can get a lot of these filled out even without the flight mod if you've been diligent in finding field treasures.

Taear posted:Also can someone give me a few pointers on making money? I have quite a few probes out and about and many spare but it's so tedious to click through all those probes to see where I can place. Do you have the flight pack? A level 50 Skell? A Phoenix? If so, at the divine roost in Noctilum, inside the flower is around 20 level 60 Blattas. Slap on a few Insectoid Slayer XX Augs, then Nuke them with AOEs. Be aware that there is a level ~90 tyrant version, but its a wimp for the most part. If you have treasure sensor gear on your NPCs you'll be able to sell the drops for ~100k per run, and each run only takes around a minute (mostly going through all the loot drops). Its a late game thing, but I found it works.

I don't have all of them since until I asked here I didn't know how to get to Mechanics 5 but now I should be able to. Hurrah!

Are there any good ways to power level? Like, any places to take your skell team and a level 60 scouted player and fight monsters you shouldn't be able to for Big Gains?

The Joker in the Divine roost. He's located in the big flower itself along with 12 other level 60 bugs. Just wiped them all out and you get like 1-2 scout levels per fight as well as 3 regular levels for a character. Alternatively the level 81 simius located right outside the eastern gate or the chimera. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jan 10, 2016 |

I really need to get used to the new status quo in my game since I got infinite overdrive and blossom dance. I need to remind myself that anything I can fight on ground level I can beat with ease. Going to have to go teach those Xe-Doms a lesson. Anyone know when the Wanderer King spawns? I've been through its cave before but it wasn't there. I've only just gotten past chapter 10, if that helps.

zedprime posted:There's an island in "NLA waters", sorta southwest of Noctilum and west of Primordia. Its got a bunch of level 55 blattas and is like the Joker spot without flying or the Joker. Stack insectoid exploit augments and bring a Phoenix back weapon. If he can't fly yet chances are he doesn't have Phoenix. Am I the only one surprised by the disparity between the main questline and the sidequests? I mean the main quests are awkward and badly written and holy poo poo shut the gently caress up Lin and Tatsu and stop being mysterious Elma, meanwhile the Prone and Orphe are bundles of joy and I'm getting tons of hoodies and turtle necks and silly display holograms.

Stuff like that tends to come from a variety of individual writers with smaller budgets and less oversight than the big important story beats of a game, its not exactly a big mystery.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Stuff like that tends to come from a variety of individual writers with smaller budgets and less oversight than the big important story beats of a game, its not exactly a big mystery. But it's kind of ridiculous how Xenoblade's story was so good and this game with Luxaar essentially being an incompetent Saturday morning cartoon villain and Elma telegraphing the hell out of whatever her deal is plus the unending Tatsu/Lin interactions make the story really lovely. I mean I can remember the original Xenoblade having a ton of cool, memorable story moments and characters like the intro, Colony 9 getting hosed, Fiora, Metal Face's appearance, Xord, Sharla going postal on Mechons, meeting Melia, meeting Rikki, and so on and so forth. I'm pending to start Chapter 11 and all I can remember is uh, the bit in Chapter 5, getting the flight module in Chapter 9 (which I admit was really, really well done), and Zu Pharg. That's all.

Xenoblade's plot had incredible stamina if nothing else. It wasn't terribly ambitious content-wise, but it managed to sustain itself for a full 100+ hours without any serious gaps or plot missteps, and with a lively and varied cast to boot. Boy, I sure do wish its successor was even a tenth as good on that front.

Once that was resolved, his interests turned into trying to fix things between both groups, which was kinda lowkey. Fiora yeah I agree, her personality was too much fixated around Shulk and that's boring.

I think even Joker runs can be done with a level 30 Phoenix and a level 30 gravity buster if you have enough insectoid exploits. The farmable Phoenix everyone talks about is for end game aoe grinding, not the actual grinding up to 60.

Honestly I'd say everything between Colony 6 to Seven joining is kind of tedious and dull and there's a good chunk between Seven joining and the Mechonis Core which isn't much better.

The exception is for "custom" augments. those only effect the item they're placed in.

Taear posted:Where is that? Divine roost is located at the Northern part of Noctilum, you need a flying unit to get there. Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Would those be ok for someone around level 32 to do? I hired a bunch of guys to help me kill the Chimera and it boosted me to around level 50 or so after a few fights. The Simius I took down with three hired 60 ether blossom guys as well. I just kept resetting the boss after he died. It doesn't matter if you die you'll still get exp. I would say if you're level 30 start planning for an ether blossom build because it doesn't take 15 minutes to reach 50 if you have 3 other scouts killing poo poo for you. Go to Chimera for your primary weapon then kill the Simius or the joker for your other gear. You can try to down the level 92 milesaur but YMMV because she has a ton of HP. The Regular ones are just slightly less of a pain in the rear end and I really only started killing them after I got an Ares 90. just remember to wear exp boosting gear. *edit* Another easy way is to kill those level 58-88 big rear end blue dudes in the lake in Sylv. They drop good gear+ a ton of EXP but the level 88 one doesn't spawn unless it's a red aurora. You also risk aggroing the others because the red aurora makes all of them pissed off. There's a lone level 75 on an island but it takes forever to swim there w/o a skell. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Jan 11, 2016 |

Use Pheonix and G-buster to make it cake. Just remember to switch your skill trees up when you max out. You'll breeze right through them with joker.
