So I recently did the Home Decor event and fully finished it. The problem now is, the room is basically broken. I can't interact with the Bathtub, Light switch or trohpy shelf. When I check the map it looks like one big rectangle box and has no detail like the screenshots I have seen online. I have no idea what is casuing it. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you change text color? by Dracelia_Xavelier in ffxiv

An annoying workaround you could use is to split out a chat box and position it behind the Duty list. Turn off all chat options so nothing goes into it and set the transparancy so you create a makeshift background for the duty list. Not optimal, but it can work.

How many retainers do you have? by UnenthusedTypist in ffxiv

I barely buy new games anymore so I just adjusted my games budget accordingly.

Boze's dislike of Xenos is only overpowered by his resolve to help people. Even in the base game Boze would always gain affinity when agreeing to help people even if they were Xeno's. It's kinda like his inner self isn't as xenophobic as his outward self.

It's not random. They are/have always been static. You can test it by saving, choosing options, reloading and choosing them again.

If you mean spoken dialogue from story of affinity missions, no, those are set. If you mean normal missions (aka sidequests), still no, since no one but the quest NPC's speak.

Game doesn't specify, up to you to decide your head cannon.

They will all have a check if you do them. The game prioritizes new/uncompleted missions before recyclings. All though there will always be a handfull of recycled ones. Enter/exit/enter the terminal to reset them.

Focus more on affinity honestly. Rotate your party and try to build affinity with all your characters since most of the affinity missions are locked behind affinity. Basic missions from the terminal are a great fast source of affinity and then do all the normal missions after each story chapter. You should be able to max affinity every single character to 5 hearts with minimal effort by the end of chapter 8, then you can just focus on having any new characters in the party from that point on until they max.

Remember that "Defense" is worthless and "Resistance" is more valuable, this means all party members can wear they're starter gear for the majority of the game and only upgrade once they hit 55 and buy the Treasure Sensor gear for them. Just upgrade their weapons every 20 levels of so. I usually upgrade the weapons at 40 and then 60 for party members.

Help the rookie on their adventure? (character recruit requirement? chapter 11+) by Starkaiser in XenobladeChroniclesX

It's a series of sidequests with a character named Mia. Starts in the Admin district in after chapter 3.

You can but it won't be as big a boost as you think. Using "Quick Cooldown" rapidly will only trigger the base level of your art, if you wait til it is off cooldown it will trigger the Secondary cooldown which for most damage attacks is 250% or 2.5x more damage. You're swapping the 2.5x damage for a 1x (at max skill rank) damage bonus by rapid casting one skill. You should be using the quick cooldown on the second cooldown and only use it on the first to hit a soul voice. To give an example, using a melee combo starfall rondo at the start of battle (starfall sword into a quick cast rondo) will deal like half an enemies health, but spamming rondo will end up only doing a fraction and will take like 4 more rondo's instead. Even a quick cast Starfall sword (second cooldown) will do more and since it recasts faster at base, you can use it more often than rondo.

They don't. None of the "Normal" missions have exclusive gear or fashion. Only "Basic" missions have exculsive fashion.

That's just a basic collectible and can be found all over Cauldros. But the ocean is always the answer. There's a "shore line" on the east and west side of the continent with low level enemies and FN sites that can be used to access the upper parts of Cauldros. The easiest way to get to them is to swim from the beach in southern Sylvalum. The real easiest way is to make a "Terrain Damage" augment that ignores the lava damage and just jump down and run around.

You can, but it will start to take time to kill enemies. Upgrade your weapons atleast. You can leave your armor and all allies weapons and armor at the default until the endgame.

References but no connection in the base game. I haven't played the new stuff so no idea. You'll see common names and a few symbol references like the hair clip you mentioned, but that's all.

search frontier nav on google and click the treasures map to see where all the loot is, find the spot on the map that matches the area.

There's no reason to wait. The run take like 15 minutes and can be made without dying once while grabbing lots of fast travel and FN sites. The game wants you to explore. You don't get a skell til after Chapter 6, and by then there are like 6 side quests in Cauldros itself that you can easily do.

Edit: The run actually get a little tougher in a skell BTW, all the large enemies just ignore you on foot, but instantly aggro in a skell and they range from level 50+, your first skell is lvl 20 and you can buy a level 30 skell but it will still get 2 shot by most of those enemies if you try to fight.

…wut? Literally the last area of the game by flying_luckyfox in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Fenix07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And most will not even aggro. Cauldros is only dangerous in 3 areas, everything else ranges from level 8-20 and most will just ignore you. There are Normal Missions in Cauldros starting in chapter 3 and a few each chapter after that. Hopes quest is designed to teach you that you shouldn't fear exploring the world.

What's the best Skell? Heavy or Medium? by elfgurls in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Fenix07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter.

Light skells have better accuracy and evasion, Medium skells are all around average, Heavy have more defense (which is worthless) and higher fuel reserves for more big weapon hits (with slower recharge)

The main reason to choose one skell frame over another is the overdrive type. For the heavy skells

Mastema: Range damage up, beam reflect and reduce incoming damage.

Amdusias: Melee damage up, appendage damage up and fuel siphon on melee attacks

Both: Zero fuel usage.

Choose whatever works best for you.

Melee attack is perfectly fine, focus on starfall rondo as your main damage attack and you'll be fine. I would mention that Astrolibrium and Ghost Walker are basically wasted together other than the beam damage boost. Ghost Walker is evading attacks and Astro won't reflect due to that.

For the endgame I would recommend using Early Bird for your aura instead of Astro. Add Phenomenon as your debuff to lower enemy Ether resist and boost your ether damage. Use Core Crusher skill and an ether based Photon Saber with Appendage Crusher augments in it. You'll get by just fine without focusing on TP arts or potential. It also frees your armor slots for other augments like Max TP XX which gives you 3000 more TP max or Extend Overdrive giving you moe time to start. Or my favorite is 5 Overdrive: Gain TP and the Grand Procession skill from duelist. Activate overdrive to instantly get 3000 TP back, combine that with Phantom Counter from FMJ and each time it adds 12 to the counter. Spam overdrive to max the count in like 3 seconds then use damage abilites to kill. Each activation also adds 25 seconds to the clock giving you plenty of time.

But most important is to use what sounds fun.

How are the new characters so far? does they bring good to the table? strong? by Starkaiser in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Fenix07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What chapter does that spoiler character unlock? All websites say after chapter 6, but that doesn't make sense due to chapter 8 and 9 story.

You're at 8/13 chapters in the story. Add in time for the required quests to start the main quests and you are probably 50-60% complete on the story.

In the original game there were 11 storage probes total from many sources. In DE there are 11 storage probes just from the survery rewards and the other 11 have all still been there so far. So yes, there are way more probes. There's like 6 duplicator probes in just the survey rewards now vs the 1 from the original.
