If you want it, there's the option to remake your character after doing those quests.

Quick question about the Google Doc in the OP, and apologies if this has been asked before: In the Collectopedia section, what do the numbers beneath the collectables indicate? I assume it's location, but I don't understand what they are referring to. Also I have put a couple probes into the ground already, but I guess you get a finite amount, right? Am I gonna run out? What do the different types do, and how do I get more?

Mining Probes give you more Miranium, depending on their Class and the Probe Site's Resource grade for Mining. Research Probes give you Credits. Don't go for the sites that have a high grade for the respective grade, stick them on points with Scenic Views that you've found. Battle Probes are something you won't come across for a while, and they give entire continents special combat bonuses (increased attribute defense, passive fuel regeneration, that sort of thing) You get probes from Treasure Chests (salvaged stuff out in the wild) and from various Missions. Kirsty's Frontier-Nav ones will net you most of the Research Probes in the game. The number below the Collectapedia entries is for the Probe Site. Tap on one on your gamepad screen and it'll tell you which one it is, along with letting you fast-travel to it.

Combat does eventually devolve into a few degenerate strategies Giant robot combat is kinda dull. Pretty ugly character designs. Music is hilariously peppy J-buttrock A lot of that content is MMO-style collection quests with a bad UI for finding the items you need.

After passing 100 hours, and having zero interest in farming global nemeses and bear asses for XX augments, I think it's time to put this game down. It was a great run, XBX. One thing is bothering me though: What the gently caress does stability do?

I was too busy being  at people having trouble with definian downfall because I killed the boss in two shots.

Hello Xenoblade X thread. When I look online and see people talking about the Global Nemesis, they all talk about it being the best source for ticket farming. but as far as I can tell the Ygg mission gives 0 tickets as a reward? It certainly doesn't list them as a reward on the network mission console, and I jumped into it with some random overpowered guy yesterday who broke a bunch of parts then abandoned, and as far as I noticed the only reward was a bunch of yggdralith parts. Do you have to do something special to get tickets from it, like play it until time expires or be the one to initiate the mission yourself?

Just break all 7 of Yggralith Zero's appendages, then take all of the drops. Go into the Global Nemesis Spoils option (under Support Missions) and then redeem those drops for tickets. Each individual drop redeems for 80+ tickets.

Anyone got a build to make AI-controlled Elma not useless damage-wise? I have her spamming Ghost Factory which, while super-useful, seems kind of lame for the game's protagonist. The AI spazzes out too frequently to use the positional stuff though. This game's pretty great so far! The endgame farming's way more annoying than in Xenoblade though(there you could get set up for the superbosses in like, an hour if you knew where to go) so I probably won't be 100%ing it like that game, but it's still pretty fun exploring around and wrecking fools with my sweet lightsaber. I don't even have a robot yet and I've logged like 30 hours just loving Around.

The AI spazzes out too frequently to use the positional stuff though. Elma's value is more in her soul voices having a lot of damage boosts than her actual personal damage. That goes for most party members, really. Side slash is good to keep on her though since side hits are generally pretty easy.

Does anyone know any good areas with level 60+ enemies to fight? I would like to get some decent high level skell weapons and it seems like level 60+ enemies drop the good stuff more often. The only one I can really think of off the top of my head is the one ganglion tower near the bend in the abyss of Oblivia. What do you guys dress your characters up with? Once I found a decent pair of jeans and a nice red jacket my avatar was never in anything else.

I finally got around to beating chapter 12 and I already knew Lao turned into a Resident Evil enemy from spoilers but I was not prepared for him having Luxaar's sad face on his palm. That was hilarious and I don't think it was supposed to be. They didn't even linger on it. There was just one quick scene of  and I got a good laugh.

It's a weird line and hard to decide if it works. This is incorrect. The crappy basic quests require this, the ones with actual side-story content don't. Don't do the basic "collect ten pig asses" quests, just roll through the list once in a while and pick the ones that will auto-complete due to you having them already.

Bring your Skell to the inside of that giant flower at the very top of Noctilum. Make sure you have a good AoE attack on your Skell and you'll obliterate like 15 level 60 bugs. ...and aggro the lv 90 but it's a pushover for a tyrant of that level.

Best I can recall of Bestial Utopia* was a few chests and some 60+ mobs, so you probably aren't missing anything. *North face of the volcano in Cauldros, it'll have a couple of high level Ganglion in front of the entrance. As for high-level skell gear, you generally have to beat up high level mechs, though some of the larger indigens cough them up on occasion as well. I don't remember what drops what, but there are a number of mech tyrants out on some of the little islands dotted around, and they tend to be pretty squishy for their level; the ones that readily come to mind are a bit west of the Abyss in Sylvalum, and another all the way up in the north west corner of the map. There's also a very high level Seidr in the Antropolis, but you'll need a good ground build for that.

Well, finally got what I wanted, so my 'gently caress ygg zero' build is done. want to make a couple more things before making my Ares 90 though. On Skell weapons, I found some of what I wanted: Sylooths in Sylvanum drop Beam sidearms that are actually worthwhile for between arts (at least when using the level 60 Masterma frame). Puges drop all sorts of spare weapons, which is nice. The only thing I have no idea how to find is a buster rifle back weapon, which looks pretty neat, and seems kind of useful for the Ygg Zero smashing strategy. E:Oh, and don't bother killing Xerns, fuckers drop nothing besides level 50 skell body parts, and if you can kill one you probably don't need those. Neddy Seagoon posted:Do Xe-Dom Golden Crests drop off a specific appendage, or am I rolling the dice on just killing the ones at the Or'Simm Ruins over and over? Random chance, no way to influence it as far as I'm aware, other than obligatory treasure sensor gear. Neddy Seagoon posted:Can someone confirm what Advanced Cranks drop off of? I was told the Seidrs over Cauldros, but they don't seem to want to cough them up no matter what appendage I break. Can confirm. If you have a decently fast way of killing them they aren't that hard to acquire. I've still got like 8 after using a dozen building a Skell. Just stack on some Mech slayer augs and go to town, you'll end up with a decent number soon enough.
