I'm bumping this, as this quest is driving me bananas.

I had trouble too. Too many enemies guarding one of the objectives. The boss fight was easy though.

I've won all the treasure board stuff that's been up for grabs thanks to high level squad members last night. I guess no one else in my squad knew what to do so I have a nice share of level 40 equips waiting for me when I finally level up!
And 40 hours in and still haven't got to chapter 6, hah.
Also found something neat out here in the southeast oceans when I was working on hitting the 30% surveyed in Oblivia.

That boss felt strangely underpowered, especially since the bosses in the chapters before and after gave me considerably more trouble. Especially chapter 6's, fuck that thing.
From GameFAQS:
Or maybe use the bonus tickets and just buy the things from the blade devision terminal.
Elma modelling the suit I got from a sidequest and showing that undergarments are overrated.
That suit is awesome, care to tell me what sidequest it was (in spoilers)?

Is there any downside to not balancing your active arts between ranged and close combat? I've gone with the sniper rifle/lance classes but replaced all but one of my arts with just sniper abilities. The only lance ability I've left on my bar is a basic attack for soul voice purposes and it seems to work really well, I'm just wondering if there's a downside to this approach that I'm not seeing.
Man what the heck, why won't idling work for me? I need money so bad
For ideling:
- change your ideling settings in the game
- change your external HDD to always on in the Wii U menue
- be in the city
- do not be in menues
- stand before the company/weapon shop in front of it
Works for me like this.
Reason for this is, that the affinity quests are not really side quests, but rather the important main quest for the whole team. Please do all of them, because they complete the story.
whatever works for you. i personally focus on melee. it's harder to get the secondary charge for arts going when you are switching between weapons all the time.
Is it just me, or are the DLC quests the only ones that actually have a map marker to the monsters you need to kill if the objective is to kill some for any reason? Like they realized after finishing the game that "hey, this game's grindy enough as it is, why the hell aren't we just telling where the monster the player needs to farm for this mission is located at? Let's put markers for them in the DLC, at least!"
I know, I've been doing every single unique side quest in the game I've come across. It's just a super weird mission to lock the main mission behind - why the hell would some random BLADE having a girlfriend be important in the context of the main story? I'm not a fan of locking main stuff behind optional stuff (and while affinity quests are important for characterization, they ARE optional), but I wish they at least tried to make an effort and make the locks make sense.
Like, lock a main mission behind an affinity mission that gives me a new party member, cause only this party member knows of some specific location we would need to find in the main mission. Or something.
Also, what do you mean by "change your ideling settings in the game" ?

Just upgrade for the ones you will use most of the time first.
Quests that are not affinity ones can be abandoned.
Counting DLC, how many party members are there? And do they all get a couple of affinity missions, with presumably 4-5 heart requirements?
Man, the grind is going to be real
Only the ones in their palette.
I've just been giving them a bunch of non-TP arts (so that they won't immediately blow through their TP every time it gets higher than 1000). Highly doubtful the AI knows how to chain arts, so I honestly feel like it really doesn't matter THAT much. I'm the one dealing 90% of the damage in battles, anyway.
Debuffs and buffs are obviously a good choice.
e: Yelv is pretty awesome

postgame grind.... too lazy
Do they burn through even when you do the conserve tension points command?
TP Arts aren't essential for some characters so their damage potential and support can be really good.
Pretty much, its an MMO like grind fest. Already on the verge to just be done with the game and simply explore a bit more.
Hard to say, I rarely remember to activate the command in most battles, to be honest. I suppose they'd be a lot wiser with TP with that on.
Baffling how we get this nice variety of general commands you can issue to your whole party or single AI members in-battle, but no way of setting the defaults from the menus or anything
Does finishing the main quest unlock anything meaningful, or is the post-game content mainly taking on super high-level monsters? If so, I definitely have to do every interesting quest before finishing the story cause I know I'll move on to other games when I'm done with it

Yes got my skell
There are quick shortcuts by holding R+Dpad, no need to press + unless you want them to leave their doll or leave the binding to yourself.

I freaking LOVE this game! Never played more than 30 minutes of Xenoblade Wii but this has totally grabbed me unlike anything since Dark Souls 1.
I'm up to having done the first 'Rival' mission with that endearing jerk, H.B.
One question, when your Arts charge up and start getting a green circle around them, what does that mean? That if you wait for it to get to 100% green then its a stronger hit? Or something else? Thanks.

I know, I know, R + up (concentrated attack) is the only command I ever remember to use
I wonder if it makes the AI lock on the the same appendage I'm locked on to
Secondary cooldown. Usually either +xxx% damage dealt or the ability to use the art again immediately. Arts menu tells you exactly what effect the SC has.
Most of the time absolutely worth waiting for it to fill up

I've just finished the (first?) Doctor B quest. I was actually surprised that
Really, the Doctor B stuff should have been an affinity quest with voice acting and maybe getting a character out of it, rather than having minor sidequest production values.
I kind of wish we could drive normal vehicles. They have a driving engine in the game for the Skells' vehicle modes, so why not make normal vehicles playable too?
everything seemingly worked out in the end. Also, the customized car had a bunch of Delorean-like add ons.

I found two spots in the game where you can level from lv40 - 60 in a couple of hours.
Lv57 and still Chapter 6.
I started off just doing random quests and killing stuff my level/above my level but it was slow going. Eventually I got a quest to get parts from Pugiliths (the two-legged Prone walkers) in Oblivia. Apparently level 29 'big' enemies give tons of XP and those are much easier to fight than the other large enemies in the area (I used the fortress you go to for the turrets quest). By the time the quest was finished I was 30.
But yeah it was slow going, because I refused to outfit the level 20 Skell since I knew if I started I would not stop until I spent a ton of money. Once you get the 30 Skell you can easily handle enemies 10 levels over you so leveling speeds up a lot. Spamming tyrants and quests maxed out Duelist very fast too. I should actually just move back to story quests before I get too over-leveled, but I really want to hit 35 for my next gear upgrade.
Were you the one who posted about the northern Noctilum spot? What's the other one?

Just got my first Skell, and my main group is only a few levels away from hitting 30. What's a good spot to grind them up?

Any tips for a newcomer?
I've gone and tried to become a Blade, any words of wisdom would be great for me.

8 hours in and doing a lot of random basic quests on top of a few normal quests. Still getting the hang of everything.
I'm a little annoyed the the game isn't running in 5.1 surround. I only just noticed it.

Mia again, she is a total attention troll
I understand what you mean with the affinity quests, but as you can see they are not all "optional" they are not even declared as such and are a requirement for story missions.
But I understand your reasoning with that girlfriend quest You can change Xenoblade Chronicles Xs idle mode in the menu (it even asks you at the beginning at the game) so that the console won't go in standby.
Which two, please!

Nah, I posted the Cauldros lv50 Mech. The same setup for lv60 is in Oblivia. They die just as fast and give 2,5k XP at lv50. They're located somewhere around here:

Was a bit of a pain to get Primordia 15% completed, but onto chapter 4 now!
Awesome, thanks! Will go check the spot right away
Btw what Skell model are you using?
