Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 3

THANK YOU VORTEXO. AT LEAST YOUR HELPING

ILL HAVE BACKTRACK AND SEE FOR MYSELF IF I CAN FIND ANY LAGOONITE AT MALEVOLENT HOLLOW OR WHEREVER ELSE

When it came down to finding specific items there were a few times where I just ended up using the fabricators lol. Like I remember trying to find Heavy pomegranates for one quest and they felt impossible to find. I saw someone suggest using the Atoll Ferronis Hulk fabricator and after a few tries it spat out 6 heavy pomegranates at once lmao. If you use the fabricators they might take a while since it's pretty rng but luckily I had a bunch of money saved up.

@XandertheWise I googled it just to see if this info is hard to find… it isn’t. I immediately found the answer. These questions already have answers, you just seem to be too lazy to find them for yourself. You’re not particularly polite or as Mioaionios said, grateful when actually receiving help, so I don’t see why anyone should feel inclined to go copy paste the info widely available online for you.

Yes, would be nice if games had this info, but now you can find it online instead. We’re not here to look it all up for you, do it yourself. If you can’t find it online either, then I’d at least see reason to help. No need to have a temper tantrum over not receiving help for a while when the answer was within your reach all this time, for every question you’ve asked so far.

@Vortexeo Fabricators are indeed a bit rng dependent but so are the items thrown across the map so this is good to know for when I actually get into the sidequests again!

@Mioaionios Seriously, I don't think he knows what the internet is. I'd help if he could ask nicely in the first place.

Also, fair warning, videogamedunkey's followers are spreading spoilers everywhere, if you haven't finished the game yet be careful online.

Excuse me but i did ask nicely two days ago. i was being patient waiting for whoever to replay with help on where to find those items but noone was saying anything.

whole page, people were yakkin away about a Xenoblade Warriors nonsense

@XandertheWise "Yakkin' away" is what a thread is for. Not repeatedly asking for help you could easily find in other places.
I'd also like to point out that, often, asking nicely doesn't include the word "damn" lol.

@FroZtedFlake You at least took the courtesy of responding to them, because everyone else just kept ignoring the question because they were having a great time and because they know that if you can ask the same question multiple times in a row, you can use the internet and find it yourself. Rather kind of ya.

Whatever Takoda

@XandertheWise Have you considered the reason you're not getting help here might not be because we're not helpful but because of the way you treat people (who have helped you) in this thread?

I would have blocked you by now, but the lover of chaos in me enjoys your baseless temper tantrums.

@kennykenny If there was a like button for threads you'd have mine XD.

@Vortexeo yea, he was a swell dude. Added the comedic relief when needed, and the serious tones when necessary.

After experiencing the excellent Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, for the first time I actually got sucked in and utterly addicted to a Warriors game. That's when I realized focusing on a single game and merging the mechanics is the way forward, at least to me. I never did get too into Warriors when it was just Mashup.

That said, I love Xenoblade so much, I think I'd make an exception in this case. Just playing as all the different characters and doing crazy art combos with Pyra and Mythra, Noah, Rex, Shulk, Reyn, Tora, Manana and Riku, etc... that would be enough for me. Any cutscenes would just be a bonus, even if the story didn't make much sense.

@Vortexeo
I did the exact same thing with the Fabricator to get the remaining Heavy Pomgranites 😀

I typically do 3 spins minimum at every Fabricator just to stock up. But I think I spun 5-6 times to top up on Pomgranites.

@XandertheWise
How to search

Courtesy certainly helps when asking questions to strangers on the internet. Remember, these are real people taking time out of their day to answer mundane and easy questions that can be as easily solved with a Google search.

well I and others dont have the time to "google" while playing a handheld videogame at the same damn time

@XandertheWise But you have the time to type it out on a forum and wait for a reply? Like it takes three seconds to google something.

Anyway, back on topic.

Remember when I said my second playthrough would be without the use of fast travel? Well, it sure takes more time and patience but I'm loving it so far.

I feel like I'm really getting to know Aionios inside and out this way. Instead of jumping from place to place, I'm learning to utilise all the shortcuts like jumping down into lakes or make use of caves to skip some travelling. The in-game wayfinder doesn't always provide you with the shortest route, I can tell you that.

What's also a big benefit of playing the game this way is that you'll re-encounter unique monsters and areas you might have skipped the first time because you weren't high level enough. It's easier to be reminded of those because you travel past them much more often.

But the biggest difference I find with this playstyle is that everything seems to flow much smoother when it comes to side quests. When using fast travel I tend to hop around from place to place willy-nilly and everything becomes a blur sort-to-speak. Now, I travel back to each colony one at a time, do the new quests that pop up, then move to the next colony. It keeps things more focused and immersive.

During my journey of the first 3 chapters, I revisited each colony only twice and was able to do all their quests. That's a far cry from my first playthrough, during which I visited them at least five times at this point in the story, mostly to turn in or receive one quest at a time.

Oh and one more thing. When fast travelling, chances are you keep resetting time to early morning constantly. But because time keeps moving along with you naturally when traveling on foot at all times, you get to experience some truly wonderful sights like rainbows at sunset, gorgeous sunrises and clear night skies.

If you want to immerse yourself in Aionios like never before, I highly recommend playing the game this way.

@Vortexeo Not to randomly drop into your conversation about Muimui. I swear he turned into Pulipuli in Aionis instead of another Noppon with the same name like Bana in 1 and 2. The question is whether Bana and Manana are related….
