Here I was thinking I could get level 20 Skells for helping my party level up. Turns out (as far as my knowledge goes) the one you start with is the only one of its kind.

Killed it this time.

Lin is now level 60. What should I do with her now?

Is it worth buying the level 60 equipment from the store, or should I try to get the rarer weapons like from the AM terminal?

Speaking of, I got a level 60 Slair II through a treasure deal I intend to use once I hit that level myself. It looks quite potent.

Level 55 is the max level for armor. Level 60 weapons don't drop everywhere so go ahead and buy them.

How did Lin hit Level 60 before the PC? Does she have EXP Up augs?

I'm just wondering if I should get the generic level 60 weapons from the store or try to get a commissioned one like the Archetype Machine II (By scumming the requirements with squad tickets).

Speaking of those commissioned weapons, I notice there's a lot of ???'s in the list. How do I unlock those? The only blueprints I've found have unlocked Skell Weapons, so I assume there's different means to unlock the other things.

And yeah, Lin has some Experience Up augments in her armor. My Cross is only one level behind, though.

I've already been spoiled on the game's big twist so I have fun trolling my brother by talking to him (he doesn't know) about it as though it was a crazy Epileptic Tree and not an actual plot twist.

Come to think of it, is there more to Cross not having any memories of his life before Mira?

I mean, there's never been a time when a character being Amnesiac wasn't a possible Bait-and-Switch (such as turning out to not have the memories in the first place). Either way, I'm sure it's gonna turn out to be very important because it's such a classic trope.

Keep your expectations looooooooow.

Then maybe pick them up a bit once you think the ending through.

I've already made my prediction. Sadly, I've been waylaid by sickness so I haven't been playing the game lately and Chapter 12 is just taunting me.

The crafted ground weapoms are random drops by level 60 Prone enemies. There's a place by the north side of the pit in Oblivia, and there's a cave in Cauldros to the northwest.

Oh, they're randomly dropped by Prone, and then added to the list of developable gear?

...Is there a stronger version of Ga Buidhe's LAZER NAGINATA than the Audacious Lance you can buy from the store? I want one, but I want the best possible version.

Anything I should absolutely know before starting the game?

Money's a bit tight, so I don't want to "just buy it and use it". I need to upgrade Lin's weapons, too.

Upgrade your probe network and runberband your gamepad all night. Roll in more cash you'll ever be able to spend.

Rubberband? You mean to hold down the control stick so Cross will run in circles?

I just might have to do that since my money's also rather tight from buying a Level 50 Skell.

Doesn't work. People have tried it and they only net like two gains in 8+ hours.

That reminds me.

Outside of linking certain probes together, what types of probes should go in what places?

I might rearrange some of them soon, and I want to make absolutely sure they are being put in the best possible places.

I wonder if anyone's figured out the "optimal" probe layout yet.

I have every site probed, at least, but I don't have enough Research Probes to really rake in some serious cash.

[up][up][up]Get an electric fan to bump it. tongue

[up][up]Main game you want a chain of three same ranked research probes in Oblivia's chain of three sightseeing spots. Post game you basically convert Noctilum into a storage probe network with duplicators and boosters everywhere.

Generally research probes go in Sylvalum or Oblivia

But the network tells you which probes are good in what places

My storage probe network spans Primordia's northwest section and Noctilum's lower section.

Not sure where to get more storage probes, though. I only have a capacity of 66300 Miranium.

So research probes in Oblivia and Sylvalum, Mining, storage and Booster probes everywhere else?
