Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

I'm at Rex's home... might need your guy's help with Perun's affinity tree tier unlocks soon. This thread has been a huge help. Now that I have all this money I feel so much better.

@zionich
Ah, you're old school. You must like the challenge. I have spoken with several people who tell me they really enjoy not leveling up fast. In fact I heard someone tell me they wish they couldn't level up at all lol! He was complaining that when he would just beat enemies out in the field he would level up too fast, not even using bonus XP. I'm sitting here thinking dude... I'm trying to level up as fast as humanly possible and I wish I could go faster!

@JaxonH I do like the challenge and I don't want the last boss to be a push-over. After I beat the game I will max out lol.

I just started chapter 7. The story just keeps getting better. Sure, it uses couple of cliches but it makes them different enough that I don't mind.

I cleared chapter 6 quite quickly so I'll explore Tantal a bit more before continuing the story. I shall also go back and try to get those couple of blades that can be received by doing side-quests or other things.

EDIT: @Tsurii I'm level 47 and I feel like I'm overpowered. I can't imagine how easy the battles are when you're 60.

Hey guys I have a problem. I'm using Praxis and no matter how many battles I engage with her I'm not earning any WP. Is it because her driver is actually Zeke instead of Rex?

@zionich without saying too much as long as you're around the same level as the enemies when you get to the final chapter you shouldnt be over levelled for the final boss

@Tsurii What are gold core chips?

Oh my gosh. Chapters 5 and 6...

It's gettin real

It gets even more real from there.

@cadaver138 excellent !

I'm sure this game is 10 times better than i am setsuna but of course the developer also have more budget in developing the game.

Hello!

I have a bit of a trouble at what is i suppose the end of chapter 3 : little spoilers ! : it's the figt up the big stairs just after the wonderful looking city (lots of violet colors) inside the titan ("inbidia" or something).
i'm fighting the guy with the red glasses (yoshitsune) and the guy with black hair..one is level 24 and the ofter 26.

The thing is i'm level 24-23-24 with nia and the huge guy ( i don't use tora, maybe i shoud^^) and i 'm getting seriously beaten. like i havent reached 50% of the life of one guy ;( i'm getting incapacitated and CC a lot and i think i'm a bit out of options...i cannot even reached blade combos level 3 since my arts don't fill up very fast or i have wrong combinaisons^^..... the driver combo is out of reach since i'm using the gauges for "resurecting my teemmates" or them getting me up my feets when i'm down.

i cannot reliably get the ennemies the "down" status (which is very helpful!!) since for some reason, nia doesn't use her break attack..or maybe the red glasses guy cannot be breaked? Also : is it right that if my only art that has an effect is the "down" status, the only way to "down" the ennemy is to hope my teemate will use an art with the "break" effect?
Is there things i can do to break him?

i don't really know what equipments giving to my characters since the changes seem minimals and i'm getting beaten very badly..i have like one piece of equipement for hp and another one for when 30% and under hp, my guard rate improves.

maybe i should take the skill that makes getting more health from potions..

And...the blades, right know i have pyra and my only rare blade that i managed to get , the "big ballon nopon" that is a healer..even with his help i die very quick since the rate of attack is slow, my arts don't seem to get refreshed very fast
i tried getting more rare blade but no luck i still have 15 common core crystal but i already have like 20 normal blades that i don't really use^^^^

So, do you have some advices for this fight (i would prefer not to level up if i can^^)? thank you!
i need to precise that i haven't really upgraded my skills so far for my characters (my arts are mostly level 2 though) , hoping i could manage without it^^

Woke up this morning and spent three hours or so just clearing sidequests. Finally found the waterfall that leads to that isolated platform in Uraya for one of them. Also clearing out that elaborate Militia's Request sidequest. I wanted to complete The Titan Scholar, but there are a group of level 30 enemies that jump you all at once, and you have to kill all of them. My party just hit level 30, so I'll leave that one for a while until my party is stronger.

I'm near the end. I want to live the end. I don't want it to end.

Oh my this game is great. If the dlc brings me more of this awesomeness I'm going to have to buy it.

Mah heart... mah soul...

Got the Lucky Core Crystal, and finished up Chapter 5, this morning.

Tonight I'll probably see if I can't finish up any of the sidequests I have going, then I'm going to be doing a lot of summoning (have over 60 Common Core Crystals, and over 20 Rare).

@Tsurii I feel your pain. 99 basic cylinders worth of grinding for core crystals...and not a single rare blade. I don't know which was worse the act of getting the crystals or sitting through all of the summoning. The worst part is that there was a silhouette of a rare blade who appeared at least 90% of the time. As if the game was saying, "Wouldn't it be cool if you got this blade? Too bad!"

@Tsurii @Beedrill4Smash

I got another 4 rare Blades last night from 50 common crystals and 10 rares.

Last batch of 50/10 I got 3. Time before that I got 5. So I've averaged 4 rare blades for every 50/10. And I hear it gets harder as you get more and more rare Blades, but I haven't seemed to notice a drop yet.

I discovered that if you equip 2 Luck accessories, you seem to do pretty well. +25% and a +26 Luck for the last round. If you level up your mercenary rank, you can hold like twice as many blades, too. That really helped when it came to dismissing the low-level common blades.

So I've started playing some Tiger! Tiger! to enhance Poppi, but I can already tell that it is going to be a bit of a time sink. Is it worth it to keep going? If so should I also enhance the second and eventual third form?

I’d play more Tiger Tiger but I’m utterly crap at it. I’m 52 and my reaction times aren’t up to snuff and I never play games like that normally. From scores I’ve seen other people post it would take me days playing it incessantly to get those figures!

I sat down and played Tiger Tiger for about an hour, and made crazy ether from it. Like 30,000. You get the most if you get all treasure chests without taking damage. So I just play on Level 1 Easy mode over and over.

Season pass grants 30k ether as well, which is a huge help. You can also crystallize parts you don't want. I cleared out most of my stock I wasn't using and made another 30k ether.

You definitely want to max out all forms of Poppi. I have the first two forms at 900 power, using about 850 of it.

Got enough crystals for the tank mod V...but now I need technical manuals...TO THE YOUTUBES!

EDIT: Actually...I may need to advance in the story instead...
