Hey Saturn just a quick check-up, have you started on your Driver's affinity charts yet? If you haven't my tip would be to aim for the skill that lets you chain cancel arts together, it makes combat a lot more fluid and fun in general

Near the end it said that the Beastly Core Crystal was ready to use it's a pretty good Blade that Rex should bond with, you might also want to transfer Kora over to Nia. Oh and the Boosters you pick up are for increasing the chances of getting a Blade of an elemental type

Boosters are pretty weird mechanically, if I remember correctly each of the four correlates to one of the elemental pairings, using them increases the chances that you will get a blade of either elements of that specific pair. For example bravery will increase your chance of getting water and fire blades. Using a booster changes a single gacha pull stat for just that specific roll, for example if you had 3 points in truth and used 5 truth boosters, for that roll specifically it would boost your truth stat and thus your chance of pulling ice and wind blades to 8. At least that's how I THINK it works, but any commenters please correct me if I am spreading any misinformation.

Someone else already explained boosters, but to simplify the explanation, boosters increase your chance of getting a blade of an element. This will make getting rare blades of those elements easier You start with very little storage for boosters so I recommend always using one at least. *That* *is* *all* *that* *is* *really* *necessary* *to* *understand* , although i will continue the explanation further. They do this by raising one of the stats called ideals. These increase your chance of getting a blade matching the associated element and are gained normally through a blades affinity chart. Boosters raise an ideal by 1 per booster. Using a booster does more than just raise the ideal. They also set that ideal as your highest (even if it isn't) so you get the bonus from it. Some shop deeds can increase your storage for boosters although i don't recall what shop does it exactly and i don't know if you can access the deeds yet. Each booster corresponds to an element pairing. You can see the elements floating around the core crystal when selecting a booster. Boosters are useless (and unusable) for guaranteed core crystals such as the beastly core crystal or Roc's core crystal. They are only usable when awakening blades. You can gain boosters in two primary ways. First from containers around the map. Second from salvaging *sets* of items and selling them to an *exchange* . (Such as *central exhange* in Argentum)

You are correct, field skills only activate if the blade is engaged with a driver in the team or in the reserve. But the blade must be engaged.

I don't mind side quest episodes. The side quests are in general better than xbc1 side quests. There are some very cool ones, and every rare blade has at least one side quest too.

If i remember correctly, completing the skill check means that there are no gaps in the trail.

You can sort blade list by specific field skill.

Oh that is good to know!

I didn't remember that side quest with the thief at all. It almost felt like new content to me, wtf.

I remember this chapter well just because it in my eyes is the worst chapter.

​@@LuigipotterI agree it's the lowest point of the game.

I totally forgot about that part of the story. They are not as bad as Juju, but those kids get quite close. Sure, character/world building and stuff, but that little episode was clearly an easy way to pad the playtime of the game by reusing an old area. I hate this kind of padding chase quests. Like that goddam cat in Luigis Mansion 3...
