It kinda makes sense too - you never know who you're going to work with, and you're working in a situation where you need total trust with complete strangers to survive. It's pretty natural for him to be the way he is, and it's fantastic.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Saw premium cylinders in a shop yesterday and ended up buying 50 of them because I was sitting on 1.7m gold at the time and hopefully I won't regret it when I go to use them. Not that I had much other use for the money unless I go buy the one rare blade for 500k.

Also got what I'm guessing is the healing blade for Rex people were talking about. Got it after a boss fight that just would notend. I'm not sure if there was a specific way to stop them from constantly resummoning adds every time I got the enemy count low but I ended up getting probably 1.5-2 levels from that boss fight before it ended. I was not enjoying the area's gimmick either, to put it mildly. So glad it's over with.


I take it using Rex with that new blade is more than enough healing if I run Tora and the fifth party member, or is it better to keep Rex as a pure attacker and just run Nia with heals, and maybe an attack? I probably need to go do some more Tiger Tiger for Tora though. I just can't bring myself to use the 4th party member because they seem to die so much quicker.

If there is, nobody has found it yet. Chain attacks and AOEs are the only advice I've seen and that's what I ended up having to try multiple times before it eventually worked.

Stayed at the Argentum Inn exactly once and Dagas told me to go to the Orl Cloudway exit in Leftheria so I think that's the quest started properly

e: heart-to-heart there unlocked level 4 of his chart and then I had the Trust for 5 which told me to go to Midorl Bridge in Mor Ardain in the afternoon for his quest "Lost Kingdom" and you literally can port there and it's 20 distance away to start it

So I either had him unequipped or I need to work on his affinity (which I'm fairly certain is still level one...maaaaaybe level two). Reeeally hoping it's the former.

Endgame spoilers: Was the third processor thing that got lost in spacetime a reference to XB1 or one of the other xeno games or is it just worldbuilding. Just seemed kind of odd for him to mention "oh yeah there was one more but it got lost oops" if it didn't mean anything. I'm still on the last boss thought incase it comes up in the actual ending.

I think it's a cheeky reference to Alvis, but don't quote me on that. My lore-fu for the Xenoverse is weak.

I'm so surprised there's more to Dagos. No wonder he seems so rubbish compared to the other blades. It's annoying that you've not really got a way to find that out - because why the gently caress would you ever be using him without knowing there's more to unlock?

You're almost there!

You just need... uh, that, plus a bit that requires a combination of four merc missions or 100 crap trash gathering/salvage items.

(Vess has Forestry, if you don't have her you can get a guaranteed source of it by doing her sidequest and waiting on her core to cooldown)

I ended up digging through my rando commons to find 5 forestry because my broken brain refused to accept defeat when there was that tiny possibility I already had what I needed....

I think all that matters is that you trade in the stuff in the same place you salvaged it because they’re more likely to actually be looking for local stuff.

But also the best place to do it is supposedly.... Gormott?

Yea the vampire girl with the hammer. Emphasis on "girl" there.

I'd been using gold cylinders off the side of Feif of Forgetfulness in Mor Ardain but it keeps giving me different buttons to press and it's too fast. So one time it'll be X Y Y and then it'll be Y X Y and stuff and it takes me a second to remember which one Y and X is, so I miss it.

This is definitely tied to some combination of Salvager Rank and Salvaging Mastery blade skill, because I used to have the same thing and now even later-game ones are locked in on BBA or whatever every single time.

e: Dagas sidequest update: you find a bunch of stuff, you have to salvage from the southwestern point in Temperantia (not the one at the entrance), and then it's a merc mission that requires Ancient Wisdom level 2+ on a blade you can send out (so not Dromarch, but still, worth mentioning) and I haven't completed it yet

e2: then a boss fight and oh my god I didn't get a picture but Morag says let's go kill that idiot's demon and it's one sweet line

I love when I have 3+ orbs on a boss, the first two units hit Orb A, and then the last one hits Orb C even though all 3 hit orbs with the same loving element. :smithicide:

I have no idea what causes the "blade will hit an undamaged, out of order, not-weak element orb instead of the one it should default to" but it is loving infuriating. It's clear why people say to have each character with 1 blade that has the "always hit X orb" aux enhancement because you can't trust the drat game otherwise.

You have to use weaknesses to force the attack to hit the orb you want. AFAIK the pairs are
fire/water
ice/wind
earth/thunder
light/dark
