The picture definitely helps

>>128434550
So wear heavy gravity resist gear and have a reflect ether and I should be good right? Only physical will be a problem but I can just ghost walker that shit. Alright, thanks.

>>128435072
Yeah. Make sure you've got a reflect aura up, or having reflect ether does nothing for you.

>>128435248
Really? What does reflect aura does for reflect ether? I thought reflect ether was all I need.

Now that the artbook has been uploaded, is there anyone willing that's gonna translate all the pages relating to the Ghosts/Telethia/Yggraliths?

>>128435515
Any aura that has a reflect on it already (Astrolibrium, Raijin, Supershield)

>>128435515
Relfect augments need to piggy back on an aura that already reflects something else.

I was just fighting a bird. I had it in bind. When the binding ended, my Skell disappeared. Now two insurance uses are missing. What the fuck?

>Lin: No, Elma, that's not even the point! We're all on the same side here!
WE CLEARLY ARE NOT WHAT THE FUCK

>My own guy walks over to defend him
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I wish I didn't have to use Lin and Elma for every fucking story mission. Pretty stupid game design imo.

>>128436949
Most of the story missions are things directly issued to Team Elma, which includes her and Lin.

Something about the Orphean really bugs me

>>128437183
Then they should have written a story that let me use other characters. Don't act like they couldn't have done it, it would have been fairly easy.

>>128435884
So I have had this armor with reflect:something on it for the past 20h and it has probably never served me because I don't have any of these auras.
Am I the only one thinking this is a dumb mechanic, not only because it is never explained (correct me if I'm wrong and missed it), but because it involves only three arts out of a hundred or so? So basically out of eight arts you need one of these auras, memewalker, the one that swaps your HP and TP, and I'm probably missing some. Gotta love the diversity.

>>128437305
Muh Ovah.

>>128437305
Something about the Ma-non really really really is strange, yes?

>>128435747
I'm fluent in Jap. Let's get it going, but from the pages I've read there's less actual stuff about the game and more commentary about the designs.

>>128437479
It is explained. On any of the reflect augs, the description is "Reflects [x] attacks as well when using an art with damage reflection."

>>128437853
Could you translate the description for Elma here?
Since it has her real form there, I'm curious if it gives more details about her story or something like that.

>>128428965
It's the name.

I feel like the quests in this game will never end, and somehow that's a good thing.

Race: Unknown

Occupation: BLADE
Age: 29
Class: Full Metal Jaguar
Division: Reclaimers
A team leader of BLADE. Calm and collected, she has excellent decision-making and perceptive abilities, leading her to be highly respected by other members of BLADE. On Earth, she was a member of the (whatever her team's name was) (a.k.a. the Skelleton crew), having once been a colonel in that team. As the (Earth's government? I forgot what NoA uses) was dissolved after settling on Mira she no longer possesses any military rank, though her past subordinates, Irina and Gwin, still call her "Colonel Elma" as a sign of affection and respect.
The story began once Elma found the escape pod that the protagonist lay comatose within,
and after that played an extremely important role in later events.
While her mimeosome is that of a human, Elma is in actuality an alien. The Earth Colonization Project began with her arrival to Earth.

Once you have a full team of lvl 50 skells money is practically worthless and just keeps building up from income. Mirainium is the true postgame currency.

I'm running an Ares and a team of level 60 skells and Miranium just won't come in. I run out of fuel every 10 minutes of play. I don't know the best way to rearrange my probes so I have more than 100k Miranium to spend.
Please, end my pain.

Also, captcha keeps asking me to choose images with a patio. I don't come from an English speaking country, so what the fuck is a patio?

>>128440509
Do you have trouble with getting Miranium or storing it?
I've got a 162k storage probe network I can post.
Also remember you can do that support mission that gives 30k miranium.

>>128440627
I have problems with both, of course.

>Having a passive income

So this is a glimpse of what being rich feels like.

Augments in fashion gear are not taken into account, right? Because I've seen a lot of scouts with Treasure sensor on their fashion gear, but then I'm wondering if that's an exception, because attack/defense augments would probably be a better choice.

Was posted last thread, and isn't in the OP or pastebin I think.

>>128439718
I'm getting 110k per tick and I've maybe put 5 probes in Sylvalum and 3 in Cauldros, so yeah I guess money isn't a problem after a while, but then again I have only bought four lvl 30 skells in 170 hours. I wanted to buy one for each member but I always get sidetracked, plus the lvl 30 will soon be obsolete.

>>128436815

>>128441898
Yeah I was talking about augments put in the armor slot. Maybe they just used that gear and then swapped combat and fashion, I don't know. Or maybe they believe it has some effect on the loot.

>>128442121
I still have two chapters to do, because muh OCD telling me to talk to everyone after a chapter has been completed. At first it was chore, but now I'm doing it district by district between a few normal missions, it helps not to get boring (which incidentally is also why I seldom finish those big RPGs these days). I know I should not get so anal about missing something but I can't help it. At least I've seen some fun dialogue, and I don't need to rely on guides because almost everything is in the small talk you overhear in the streets.

So what's my best defensive option if I'm not going to use Memewalker? Stack evasion maybe?

>>128442479
Rather disappointingly, none of them say a thing. Dagahn, Ryzz, and Ga Buidhe's descriptions are all taken from their enemy index entries.

>>128444637
With 600+ evasion Skells are essentially untouchable, unsure about ground combat.
Reflect builds and stacking resistances are alternatives to Ghostwalker/factory, but you'll eat the effects while GW will avoid them entirely.

Are resistances a percentage? Like 50 in beam means you take half of all beam damage?
Also, what's a good setup then? It feels shitty to have 10 phys., 20 beam, 30 elec., -40 grav. and 0 in the other two.

>>128444798
Yes.
At 100 resistance, you take 1 damage from attacks of that attribute.

>>128444798
Yes resistances are in %, stability is also % it seems.
You don't need to worry about it too much unless you're getting wrecked or planning to wreck specific enemy types.

>>128447141

>>128444664
That's sad.
At least we have their age.

>>128448971
It's a cumulative thing. It's not 20, it's 20+10+5+1

That's Secondary Accelerator, reduces secondary up to 50% and makes it usable outside of overdrive.

>>128457184
I've got a couple of left arm pieces with extend overdrive, and some right ones with overdrive green/blue bonus and overdrive count up.

>Boost Probes :

>- Complete Collection of (blue crystal like) items in the desert of origin (first continent)

I've done kirstys 5th mission but according to this page she has 6 in total, where is her last? I need that booster. Also, does Hugo have another mission because I found him and it was just a fuel node reward

Someone on reddit apparently created a tool for probe placement, and someone made:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/40syve/looking_for_improvements_on_my_probe_setup/

for 238k Miranium storage, might be worth creating.

Here's my finalized list of probe counts, anyone have any more in a certain category? Please toss a picture along with it so I can make changes appropriate.


Mining Probes:
G1: 20
G2: 24
G3: 7
G4: 15
G5: 9
G6: 10
G7: 4
G8: 23
G9: 10
G10: 4

Research Probes:
G1: 3
G2: 4
G3: 2
G4: 6
G5: 7
G6: 4

Storage/Manipulation:
Storage: 11
Duplicator: 4
Booster G1: 3
Booster G2: 3

Combat Probes:
Melee: 3
Ranged: 3
Fuel: 3
EZ Debuff: 3
Attribute Resistance: 3

Ones that seem off: G8 Mining (24 seems consistant), G5 Mining (10 seems consistant), and Research G3: 2 seems really low.

>>128458806
the only thing I can think of for lailah is making a reflect all overdrive build

>>128455807
Nonbeliever removes him from the game and Feloran ending feels better. If you give it to nonbeliever it ends with him, instead.

>>128459152

I guess lailah is pretty shit then, maybe try out a "fun and balanced" build instead of a "be immune to everything and oneshot everything" build

How many treasure sensor XX augments are needed to make things easier or at least recommended?

>>128458994
I farmed drones 60 from him while task 18 was up. Just park behind and ashagura him after returning.

>>128459543
Each rank equals 1%, so C in total.

>>128459994
Yeah, but 1% what?

Depending on how the game interprets "+1%", 100 ranks of treasure sensor could mean either "Everything drops all the time" or "20% drop rate -> 40% drop rate". If it's the second you may very well want more than just 100 ranks if you could afford the cost to your sanity.

>>128459152
Lailah OD is made to survive extended combat but it's definitely better to use something else for non-global nemesis Tyrants.

>>128460339
Think of it this way
1-30 none
31-70 bronze
71-90 silver
91-100 gold

Treasure sensor adds to whatever you roll. If you roll a 1 with 30 ranks of treasure sensor, you're guaranteed a bronze because 1+30 is within bronze range. Having 100 ranks of treasure sensor makes it always gold range.
make sense?

>equip the most evasive gear i have on a shitty old excavator
>get it up to 496 even without augs or back slots in use
lel

>>128460852
So you're saying it doesn't really affect item drop rate directly, but drop box quality?

Interesting. Misleading, too, thanks game.

Does Treasure Sensor on your goons stack with your own?

can i play while I download the data packs? They are downloading slow as balls.

>>128461294
Yeah, but the 100% cap is partywide. You can have protag with 40 and Elma with 60 and it'd be capped alreafy.

>>128461294
It's a party wide percentage.
Gold chests are guaranteed to have a weapon/armor drop in them.

>>128460852
So one for four parties members should be decent enough? Do they stack?

>>128461294
It stacks between all memebrs to a maximum of 100.
Also having full treasure sensor ensures every appendage you break gives you the appendage drop.
Another thing: if you ever want to get the Holofigs enemies drop, don't get Treasure Sensor. It actually makes them harder to get.

>>128461448
Sure, but that at least makes it pretty easy to cap out. Shit, you could do it with C&C 45 equipment and no augs if you can actually still fight whatever you're farming.

>>128461665
Noted, thanks. Not so far gone that I'm stressing about holofigs yet though.

How much stronger is a lvl 50 g buster or other superweapon supposed to be compared to a lvl 30 homura?
Hit 50 recently and nothing compares to the homura and the bonus damage on blazed targets. Is it because I'm not using an orange g buster or what?

I'm missing a mining G6 and a research G5, otherwise I have the same numbers.

High grade weapons can keep up with stuff several levels higher, you'll probably need to look for Intergalactic G(2)-Busters.

FN402 has a good production, you should move FN407 to FN410 and FN402/401/404 to FN401/404/407.

Made a slight alteration from what you suggested and just used FN402 as a storage point in addition to the suggested changes; moved the G6 research to FN101. End result:

244,350 Storage, 93096 Mining, and 56117 Credits/Income.

Which explains things pretty thorough, I'd say.
I just ran a test with how things were on default and they work so I'll tweak it to my tastes: lotsa miranium, 2x/3x the storage and piss poor credits. It seems that the best places for storage is Cauldros but that leaves you out of bonjelium and the author recommended to comment out the Cauldros FN sites so the program ignores them.

>>128472971
None are permanently missable if I remember correctly.
Every single tyrant drops one, though not all of them are unique to that tyrant (all golden blattas drop Blatta D, for example).
Having Treasure Sensor on your gear makes it actually less likely for figs to drop.

>>128473327
>>128473248
>>128473213
fuuuuuuuuck me

>>128473248
and another example is colubrim A being for the talon drake or whatever her name is, and B being from vortice
that kind of stuff isn't listed unfortunately
>>128473327
is that a third yggralith from mission 20 or something

>>128472971
And they never drop in a gold treasure.
So, don't use treasure sensor if you want to get the holo from a tyrant.

Does telethia plume holofig even exist? Or it's not because it looks the same with endbringer?

>>128473489
Yes.
Squad mission 20.
Do the task that is about killing Tersquals.
That'll get you a mission where you have to kill some enemies. During that mission inspect the two containers that appear to trigger the bonus mission.
There you'll fight Phanatos, who has a chance of dropping his holofig (I got it on my second try).

>>128473678
it's not because it looks the same with endbringer

pharsis looks distinct from yggralith, and there's a spot above pharsis which is probably for phanatos

What is this

>>128478295
You're supposed to use nothing personnel...... when you see an attack coming, that way you dodge it during the animation and still keep your decoy full.
Enemies with a lot of multihit moves can still wreck Ghostwalker, especially early on during OD since your cooltimes aren't short enought at that point.
Nardacyon was wrecking my shit with only Ghostwalker until I decided to go Reflect + Ghostwalker, which is the true invincible combination.

you use wokker when you have a multihit attack coming towards you, like telethia's, since they're basically all homing with travel time and even if any of them weren't, you could just pay attention to the art names the enemy is using

Getting Sakuraba to 5 is important to allow them to sell level 50 Skells.
The other ones are up to taste, though Candid & Credible is very useful due to Treasure Sensor in their armor.

>>128478824
it doesn't matter, 5 is the max level so you'll max them both out relatively soon

That one is on Gelbooru.

>not shaving off half of his hp and then going to overdrive on ground gear

topple locking him keeps him from healing

>>128481624
Actually, breaking his parts does slow his regen considerably. It's still high as fuck though.
Longsword outdamages his regen considerably though, and Photon Saber also does after you've broken his parts.

quick question guys

is there anyway to backup your data incase the wiiu ever dies?

Get more deeps.
Buchwald has 2674061 hp. He recovers roughly 80k every half second.

Hey Suffuri, are you grinding big uglies by chance? Don't suppose you'd be willing to carry me through for some tickets, would you?

so that's what those fuckers look like under that suit.

What should alexa's third skill be for skell fighting? (other than synch and SE)

has anyone ever seen an intergalactic 60 series shield with boost.r-atk?
I have a green one that I'm using, a 164 obviously, and just realized it's the only shield I have with ranged boost, let alone having any atk stats at all.

>>128484028
No other skill affects Skells.
Also stellar entry is shit.

>>128484230
why is SE shit?

not unless you have spare flash drive laying around which you never use and will never use. Put the suck into the wii u let it reformat it, and copy your save to it. Also all the data on the flash will be deleted when you reformat it, so back your shit up. or don't what ever man.

>mfw I 238 hours in and don't know what to do next......
damn, I am off to bed.......

I can't find the Levitaths in Noctilum for these sturdy drakebones to save my life. Help a nigga out?

I noticed I got more parts, well more like duplicates to stuff I broke with the treasure sensor on when breaking Yggralith. Is it worth making one treasure sensor XX for the MC to make the odds better or is there a limit to how many duplicate appendages broken gives?

>>128484540
wtf?! I didn't post that image o.O

>>128484581
Right near the entrance from primordia. At night.

>>128484727
>At night.

Dammit, I knew it was something stupid like that. Thanks senpai

Anyone running Yggy?

>>128484540
Get Mira to 100%.
Finish all basic missions.
Kill all superbosses.
Collect all holofigs.

>>128484636
Would it even make a difference than say having 4 party members wear those treasure sensor that are on those level 55 candid armor?

Is there a specific enemy to farm thermal gatling guns or should I just keep farming Hiro?

Ygg just reached over 2 million HP.

I finally reached Level 50, I can't afford Mastema or Amdusias, should I go for a different skell or save up?

So Reginal Plastron is the default black one as seen in the ending
Regal is the pink one
Infinite is the silver one
And True is gold, is that right?

>>128487538
i would say regal is red, but yes

>>128487323

how are you level 50 and also broke

have you not been managing your probes at all?
