Assignment 2

Trainer

• I suggest you make all new equipment after reaching Alchemy Level 20.
• This allows you to inherit properties from your materials.
• You can also use Division, which allows you to toss in an item twice. This raises your attribute/element level.
• Finally you get the Quantity LV1 skill, which either increases the number or uses your item has (Attack/Healing items) or the number of items you produce (everything else).

Friendship Management

• Keep Nio and your second alchemist in the back, and later in reserve as much as possible. They have zero friendship events.
• Preferably keep Awin in the back row until Assignment 9. This unlocks an area during the most boring assignment, giving you more to do.
• 80 Friendship for all Awin/Reyfer/Threia events.
• 70 Friendship for Lucille.
• 60 for Linca and Wilbell/Micie/Katla.
• Friendship raises at a rate of .11 per day in the front, .08 in the back, and .03 in reserve (you don't have enough characters to put one in reserve yet). It will raise any time a day passes, whether you're in Colseit or not. Just remember to shuffle them from time to time.
• If you feel like you need a schedule, see this page.

Ending Stuff

• If you are playing as Escha, you need all the events from all the ladies. I do not suggest ignoring Awin, as his events unlock a new area. This means you should shuffle four people to the front lines.
• If you are playing as Logy, you need the events from all the dudes. This means keeping Reyfer and Awin in the front most of the time.
• If you're obsessed with seeing everything, you need pretty much everyone's events. It isn't hard, you just have to shuffle your party a lot.
• For the Plus version, or for those of you who paid for Wilbell/Katla/Micie, their friendship events don't count toward endings. They have non-friendship, non-DLC events as well. These will not have character icons next to them.

Ice Bomb

• Phantom Saber
  • Create a Phantom Saber using a Garden Stone. Keep PP Expansion. Be sure to unlock the Level 3 property (the bottom right box will tell you what the property level is).
  • This works because you just combined Inherit PP +5 from the Garden Stone and Inherit PP +3, which is native to the Phantom Saber.

• Spray
  • Make using Charcoal Pieces and the Phantom Saber you just made.
  • Keep Destruction Up+, PP Expansion, Effect Up (if you need it -- you can assume the same on future synths)

• Freezing Gas
  • Use the Spray you just made.
  • Keep Very Destructive (Destruction Up+ x Destruction Up), PP Expansion

• Leather
  • Use Sea Bird Egg, keep Destruction Up++.

• Mixed Lubricant
  • Use the Leather you just made, keep Destruction Up++, Inherit PP +3.

• Neutralizer-B
  • Use Spray (Destruction Up+), Mixed Lubricant (Destruction Up++). This is because I personally had trouble getting the last step to work without doing this first.
  • Keep Intense Blast, Inherit PP +3.

• Ice Bomb
  • Use Freezing Gas, Mixed Lubricant, and Neutralizer-B.
  • Throw in Mixed Lubricant, use Power+ LV1 on Freezing Gas.
  • Throw in remaining items, then use Conversion LV1 on Wind.
  • Use Division on Freezing Gas.
  • If you need to, use Conversion LV2 on Earth, then Effect+ LV2. Do not use Absorb Attribute; you will lose Endow Cold.
  • Keep Super Destructive, Endow Cold, and whatever you like with the remaining points (I had Very Destructive due to the use of Division)

Other Items

• For a Guryun Blitz
  • Make a Distilled Water
    • Use Spray (Destruction Up+, PP Expansion), Zettel, Leather, Mixed Lubricant (Destruction Up++, Inherit PP +3).
    • Toss in all items. Use CP Recovery, then Division on Spray. Feel free to use Effect and Absorb Attribute; I did.
    • This should net you Super Destructive, PP Expansion, and Inherit PP +3. My understanding is that tossing in Spray twice also tosses in Destruction Up+ twice, and Destruction Up is the LV1 property to Distilled Water.
  • Make Neutralizer-G using that Distilled Water. This allows you to focus on Earth effects.
  • Use Blue Gemstone (you may have to use Check collection sharing in Southern Ruins...), Shining Crystal, Cloud Financier (from Solle), Neutralizer-G.
    • Toss in everything except the Shining Crystal. Use Crafting Help on it.
  • Use both Conversions on Fire, then Power+ on the Shining Crystal. Toss it in, then use Division on it.
  • Keep Wind Core, Super Destructive, and probably Fixed Increase.

• For an Omega Craft
  • If you have a bunch of Spiky Buds, the easiest way would be to toss those in every slot (at least two slots is required -- the third allows you to use Effect+ LV1 and LV2). Combine this with a Mixed Lubricant (Destruction Up++).
  • Toss in everything. Use Power+ on the Lubricant, then use Division on it.
  • Now use Conversion as much as possible to Earth so you can use Effect+ LV2 and hopefully LV1.
  • Keep Super Destructive. If you want to keep more, you'll have to make a Mixed Lubricant with PP Expansion.
