Of course, you get a trophy for kicking sand dragon ass.
If you have the relevant DLC, Escha and/or Solle will join during free time. Solle joined before even that, in the Plus version.
During your free time, you should get more search equipment slots. This will be your final upgrade. Depending on how many life tasks you did, you'll also unlock up to two basket upgrades with Solle. Don't rush if you haven't unlocked both. Both Lotte and Stera will also unlock their exclusive abilities this chapter -- fishing and dowsing, respectively.
Escha will also open her shop after a couple events. The Wilbell Life Task looks a little scary, but the sheep will never hit you back. Turn it to easy, beat the crap out of it. Then, don't be like me. Remember to turn the difficulty back! Jurie's events will unlock the Drifting Ghost Ship. Explore it till you get stuck -- an event next chapter will open the way. I suppose it's possible to view it in this chapter too, but I never have.
After all the plot plot plot, the two parties join together to defeat the Sand Dragon. WELL. Finally, I get to tell you how to do stuff. The game was simply too easy and straightforward before. So here's a lengthy tutorial series. Do note, I'm not going out of the way to break the game.
Synthesis
If you're at (or are willing to grind to) level 35 and you're feeling experimental, I'll have some further stuff you can do. If you want.
Linca has some good stuff you should buy. Stuff like Ancient Map. (I know Diamond Ore looks OOOH SHINY, but you have nothing that takes a Jewel item.) By the time you're done, you're going to see how ridiculously useful Plant Oil is. Attribute Absorb when appropriate, but not on any equipment or usable items. Use decent items. You want a high effect.
This stuff takes a while, and I made a ton of mistakes in the process myself. Save often, and if you want to cheap out... well, go for it. This set is somewhat overkill, but it'll (sort of) get you through one of the hardest areas that you can access at this point.
PP Boosting Item
- Create a Honey using an Ancient Map. Keep PP Frame Expansion.
- Now make Supplement - Green using a Cactus Palm and Honey. Use the Property Lv+ skill (this will fuse with Destructive Power+ on the Cactus Palm), and you might as well Attribute Absorb too. Keep both PP expansions and Big Destructive Power.
- Create a Plant Oil with PP Frame Expansion & PP +7.
Silkis Feather
- Make a Armored Bunker. You will need to either toss in a Holinica Ore or get the property through Holinicait. Keep Attack & Defense Enhance.
- Toss directly into Supplement - Red. Use the PP Boosting Plant Oil from earlier. Keep Attack & Defense Enhance, Transfer PP +7, PP Frame Expansion.
- Transfer to Zettel, then Honey, then Handspun Rabbit Yarn.
- Create a Supplement - Yellow using Red Clay. Keep Speed +5.
- Transfer property directly to Plant Oil.
- Make a Silkis Feather using that Plant Oil and Sand Runner Tailfeather. Use Property Lv+. Keep Speed Enhance and Defense +5.
- Imbue a Gold Embroidered Coat using that Silkis Feather and your Handspun Rabbit Yarn. Use Property Lv+. Keep Stat Enhance. See why you need PP boosting?
- Make a Silkis Feather using that Gold Embroidered Coat, Slag Cable (so you can use Cost Down), and Honey. Keep Stat Enhance and Attack & Defense Enhance.
- Note the PP costs (18). You'll absolutely need both PP Frame Expansion and Transfer PP +7 in the future, which gives you 25 PP.
Holinicait / Ingot
- Take that Silkis Feather and toss everything on it into a Stylish Broom. Be sure to include PP Boosting stuff on your Palma Wood.
- Toss that Stylish Broom into a Fire Lord's Charcoal. Use a PP Boosting Plant Oil, and be sure to Number/Count+.
- Transfer to all the Ingots you like. Ingots are only necessary for Miruca + Holinic Full Metal, so just one Holinica synth will get you what you need. For everything else, there are supplements.
- For PP, put the relevant properties onto a Lightning Bomb, disassemble with Miruca. Old Stones are fantastic. Remember to Cost Down on it.
Further Notes
- If you have Supplement - Black, you can directly toss in a Mantis Blade for Barrage Attack. Not a big deal if you don't have it.
- This only applies to weapons. Go for it if you want.
- I leave third properties free for you to decide. I already got you two badass ones.
- You can try to fuse your own Defense Enhances/Speed Enhances, whatever you like, or you can just go with whatever is native to the equipment via Property Lv+.
- Just don't be cute and try to get the All Stats series on our weapons/armor. That's accessory exclusive.
- For accessories, try Fire Lord's Charcoal -> Supplement - Red -> Plant Oil -> Handspun Rabbit Yarn -> Stellard Fabric. Bear in mind that you must be careful about transferring properties to the Yarn (and also the Oil/Supplement before it). I had two separate Yarns.
- It's worth noting that Stellard Fabric disassembles to Handspun Rabbit Yarn.
- I like to transfer all my equip properties to accessories. The lazy life is the only life.
Weapons
Follow this stuff for "better" items. You don't strictly need to do it if you're sick of this tutorial. Just try to actually get effects on your weapons. Always include a PP Boosting Item. Always. From Plant Oil, this should be a trivial process to get onto anything you need.
You should aim to get effects of all elements. Higher effects are not necessarily better, and if you don't have Supplement - Black, water attributes are tough. Here are my notes:
- Resonance Chime / Sword Manipulation Ring / Silver Twin Swords (if no Supplement - Black, otherwise just use that and ignore me!)
- LV 35+
- Make Water Crystal, get the LV3 Property on it. Transfer Elemental Attribute - Water to Media Book, then disassemble with Miruca for a Zettel.
- Zettel -> Honey -> Supplement -> Plant Oil -> Palma Board (Stera)
- From the Supplement, transfer to a Lightning Bomb, then disassemble to Old Stone (Wilbell).
- From the Plant Oil, make an Abrasive (Jurie)
- Stylish Broom
- Verdant Taun is useful. Or Umbrella Tree Strawberry.
- Press square (or equivalent). Move Verdant Taun to the third slot. Give it Order+ 3. You win.
- Elemental Charm
- The Giant Fossil at Rose's Shop should prove helpful.
- Use that Fire Lord's Charcoal from earlier, toss into Supplement - Red. If you don't want to use that directly, toss it into a Sea Clan's Charm.
- Flame Bunker / Demon Ore Sword
- You can use the Old Stone (for Wilbell) trick above.
- Or you can buy Giant Triangular Fangs from Rose.
Armor
- Fur Shirt (Stera/Lotte... and everyone else, if you want)
- Giant Scale and Slag Cable should be handy. Something with earth would be good as a final ingredient.
- Leather Shirt (Stera/Lotte... and everyone else, if you want)
- High wind effects recommended. Herbal Shirt is more convenient. High Collar Shirt will net you the higher (better) wind effects.
- For water effect, you'll need the LV 35+ trick above, and you'll want Elemental Attribute - Water on probably Leather and/or Plant Oil.
- Holinic Full Metal (Kortes/Homura/Miruca)
- This is extra costly. To soften the blow, let's use Old Stone so you can use Number+.
- (LV 35+) If you have Supplement - Black, then... Burning Gas (get LV3 property, Elemental Attribute - Wind) -> Supplement Red -> Lightning Bomb, disassemble to Old Stone.
- Gold Embroidered Coat (Jurie/Wilbell)
- (LV 35+) From the Honey listed with Elemental Attribute - Water, make a Handspun Rabbit Yarn. Imbue an Agile Coat.
- What about Fire, you ask? It's impossible.
Attack Items
- Using the Plant Oil trick, get Big Destructive Power and Critical on whatever Supplements you like. If you want a third property, pick one now.
- If you super care (you really shouldn't), you can get Ultimate Destructive Power at level 35+... if you can make Burning Gas, anyway.
- Make a Lava Cube using Phlogiston, Bomb, PP Boosting Plant Oil, and Supplement - White/Red. Be sure to get all three Properties and reduce the size of the item. You'll get Scorching Earth as a property. You can also try carrying Carries Heat from a Bomb. It's actually one of the best debuffing properties in the game.
- Put some effort into an Ice Bomb. It'll help you for the boss.
- Unlike Escha & Logy, this game doesn't really give you a ton of awesome usable item options. It actually nerfed a lot of stuff to the point that items are mostly best as debuffs/buffs/healing. Equipment is where you'll want to spend most of your time.
