Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Ok this is bothering me.

What the heck does Nia say after a merc mission?

You bet on a pool ten, then is what it sounds like, but that makes absolutely no sense.

That tip about salvaging at Mor Ardain's port works great!

Just used 10 regular cylinders, and upped my core count from about 10 Common & 2 Rare to 20 Common & 5 Rare. Even managed to level up once grinding those enemies!

Anyhow, I'm having trouble unlocking Perun's level two tier of upgrades. It says to "Be kind to villagers & do a few good deeds", but no matter if I complete a sidequest, merc mission, buy the deed to a store, or up a region's development, it's still at 1/3 complete (what it was when I first looked at it).

@JaxonH I hear it as: "You better report then."

@RR529 I think the 1/3 is when you talk to the girl selling cookies at Indol and bought some. If not then thats one good deed.

@xPH03N1Xx86 Finch?! Really?! How so?

@JJ286 Haha, well not literally, but she was my first rare blade and my favourite. I love her design, and she was really helpful. Iron Wall was a huge help to me in the final boss fight, and Leaping got a lot of use for a field skill. Overall I just love Finch.

@JaxonH I think she says "You better report in then"

@Tsurii

Ah! That sounds right. I was wondering about that missing syllable. "It" would solve the missing syllable.

@Tsurii

Wait! I got it!

You better report IN then

I'm playing right now and she just said it and it sounded clear as day to me now that I was listening for it. You better report in then. That's what she's saying

@RR529 buying cookies from the girl in Indol is one. Throwing 500g gently (not sure if this is the same for everyone but this combination worked for me) off the viewpoint at Indol is another. Giving the kid at Fonsa Myma a new Chess set (I think it's called Nopon Chess set and its made of coral) counts as another.

I had a feeling I was missing a word. I haven't heard it in a while since I haven't focused as much on Merc Missions. I probably should have my common blades doing them all the time but I don't have any new ones available currently so I've been a bit lazy. It kind of feels stupid to send them on same missions every 30 minutes or so.

@Fooligan, Ah, that makes sense then, as I haven't yet been to Indol.

@EvilLucario NG+? What are you talking about?

@Tsurii I could've sworn I saw a youtube video with pyra not included in Rex's set of blades

Now have over 50 Common Cores & 14 Rare Cores. Had only 10 & 2 earlier today.

Also, are there any pouch items that increase luck (I've only made it to Mor Ardain, so if they're only obtainable in later areas go ahead and leave me in the dark)?

@iLikeUrAttitude Most likely Chapter 7, where you can't use Pyra at all.

Speaking of rare blades, out of 4 legendary, 9 rare and 37 common core crystals I used after beating the game, I got zero Rare Blades

What was your luck stat?

I boosted luck to 200, then opened 60 common and 9 rare and got 5 rare Blades. Then opened another 30 common, 11 rare and 1 legendary, and I got another 3 rare Blades.

Plus, as you get more and more rare Blades your chances decrease, I think. So if you have a large number of rare Blades from playing through the game already, that would also lower the odds.

But I would keep an eye out for rare common blades. The 4 star commons are supposedly more powerful than Rare Blades, and harder to get too.

Just finished up Chapter 4!

I'm going to be doing a lot of summoning tomorrow, as I have 17 Rare & 60 Common Cores.

I have four rare blades so far, currently on chapter 3, and they all came from common cores. None of the three rares produced rares. I’ve not boosted luck stat yet.
