apparently it's doable with level 30 if you're careful enough, at least from what a dude was saying. Apparently you don't wanna buy level 50 since level 60 exist.
Btw I saw you post that you were making like 100k+ in revenue from probes. Anyway I can convince you to post your set-up of probes?

Probes can be mission rewards (but in that case you'll see the reward from the start), but most of them are gotten from the mechanical relics spread around the world.
Exploring the world and setting up Probes is generally supposed to be enjoyable though. Yes, if you don't like that then you probably won't like the game. The minor quests can be triggered in large simultaneous numbers for a reason - the game most of the time isn't expecting you to go after them one by one around the entire continent, just handle them if you stumble upon them. There are more developed quests, even outside of Affinity quests, that generally give better direction and have cutscenes of their own, just no full VA work.

Apparently I'm collecting 99 red lobsters now.
Oh yeah, just found that quest too. Pretty weird.

Does anyone have any tips for upgrading arts? Do I need to be careful with how I spend my BP?

Has anyone tried to play the physical game with the data packs installed only to a USB thumbdrive (at least one with decent read/write speeds)? That's pretty much what I want to do but I don't want buy an external HDD to do the same.
I figured this is probably the best place ask about this.

which mission gives the level 5 mechanical field skill?
I was excited until the 99 counter appeared. Hah
But I already have a full time job, I don't need another one !
FUCK . THAT. SHIT !!!!
This is the game everybody's been praising ? Seriously ?
Using skill drains. When you get up it is actually refilling very slowly.

Google that, there's a few topics on GameFaqs that go into the details.

You do realize it's optional?
I spent 50 on it so I can't dismiss it that easily you know.
I take it the game is perfect to you ?

lol that is not a required story mission okay. Just don't do it.
Well, the first game was the same way. I don't fully disagree but the same could be said of many RPGs and especially MMOs. Some people love it, some people hate it and feel it's a chore. I can only stomach a game of this style once every couple years.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
No, you can't dismiss it that easily when it's not required to complete a main mission.
But the whole game is designed like this. Even if it's not 99 items, you still have to fetch like 5 or 10 items. It's just a chore.
Damn, XC on Wii was so great. I wasn't expecting this.
Rebel Leader

You do realize XC had the same thing, right?

you get level 5 with separate quests, not with BLADE level
But the main plot was much more linear and engaging... Side quests were very optional. They feel mandatory here.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Do you know the title of them or where to find them?
They do not feel more mandatory then the previous game and are very much just as optional.

I don't understand what your expectations were for this game to begin with. This game is a slow burn, its an exploration game where you are not rushing to complete each objective. It's a game where you get multiple objectives all at once, and then you go do your "own thing" and complete them as you do "something else".

I'm only in Chapter 5. Literally every affinity/story mission that has you collecting stuff is EASY to find, and the enemy drops are purchasable.
Everything else is optional. There are some missions that have you collecting shit, I understand, I don't enjoy those either. I accept the quest and if I find your shit, then I do, if I don't - its inconsequential to me.
The "story" of this game is EXPLORE the planet. You aren't supposed to be rushing mission to mission. I mean, you can if you want. I agree with you, the structure is different from XBC and so is the story delivery. But this game emphasis that it wants you to explore this planet and engage with the people/species on the planet.
I don't think the game locks Story missions in an annoying way. The objectives are things you were going to do anyway (pick up blue orbs, plant a probe here, kill a monster, etc).

Most of the quests are optional. I don't see the issue that some players have with the quests. So what else are you going to to be doing in an RPG? No, of course the game isn't perfect, and it doesn't have to be.
On a another note I just finished Ch.5 and....man that was a twist. Can't wait to complete the Skell license.

My bad, I haven't seen her or heard about her for hours. Where is she after noct?
Sure thing.
Basically look at Oblivia, the rest are some areas with a lot of Sighseeing spots and/or A grade revenue. I'm missing like half the map of Cauldros and Sylphaum is mostly unexploited. Also, the difference is the numbers is because I found a better spot while taking the pictures and I changed some probes to generate almost 1K more. lol

Yep. I saved right before entering that point though once I got the no turning back prompt. And yeah it's really fucking annoying

I am making around 40k for now
Well, to be fair, Xenoblade had a story which played a much larger part on the game.
The fact of the matter with X is, you need to like exploring/doing side content or you're not going to like it much.
I'm surprised I ended up liking it really, I expected dropping it like every other open world game that's forced me to do side content recently. Probably because the exploration can be fairly fun in this(outside of the random high levels one shotting you :<)
Lol oh ok I just saw the numbers cycling and was like what the heck
