    Good guide. You make it seem like you need to sequentially craft the gems in order, but at least up to rank 6 you don't (Skipped from rank 2 to 6). I have no idea if this applies to latter gems, if it does it means one can just ignore crafting the rank 8 and 9 gem and just focus on the rank 10 to save a lot of time. If you try to craft a gem you already have it tells you already have it, but if you have a stronger gem and want to craft a lower levelled one for some reason it tells you that you already have a more powerful gem.

    To be somewhat fair, a lot of the low-level materials used to level them up are probably of not much value much later on in the game anyway. I have no idea how ridiculous the grind gets though - I'm only level 30-ish in my playthrough.

    The gem crafting in XB1 was better for that game, since it had more limited customization options. Having so many different types of gems (even if you had to have multiple, but honestly wasn't that big of a deal in that game) it added much more depth to that game than it would have had if it used what XB3 has. However, I am glad they decided to simplify it for XB3, since the game already has a ridiculous number of other systems and customization, it didn't need more. It just adds a little bit of extra customization without bogging the game down too much. Especially with all the class switching, since you have to regularly reexamine what you have equipped.

    I find the shorten auto attacks is actually very good when on keves classes. A lot of them have stupid long cooldowns, so you spend a large amount of your time just auto attacking. With that in mind, the faster auto attacks charge your master arts faster. So it results in a playstyle where you can spam low auto agnian arts while waiting for keves arts and by the time your keves are up, you can do a full round of fusion arts because you build your agnian arts quickly. All the while your auto attacks are actually useful when combined with certain skills and accessories resulting in everything being useful. You can legitimately use like 2-3 of the same agnian arts by the time a keves art comes up and still have another of that agnian art prepared for a fusion art. So while waiting for your keves, you used 3 agnian arts and then a fusion. Don't sleep on that gem, makes combat feel more fast paced.

    The one thing I want to add to the farm section is that you can respawn the killed mobs by engaging another mob in the area and hold the - button to 'give up'. You will respawn at the last waypoint and the mobs will be respawned. No need for long load times while porting back and forth between regions to respawn them. Otherwise a great guide as always, thank you very much!

    Something worth noting about steady striker and lifesaving expertise, they are worded slightly differently. Lifesaving expertise increases the RATE of revival, which is different from reducing the TIME it takes (Vice versa for steady striker) For lifesaving expertise, 45% rate increase (level 10) translates to about a 31% decrease in time taken to revive. For steady striker, a 40% decrease in attack interval means a 67% increase in attacks per second. This also means that the latter has INCREASING RETURNS (opposite of diminishing returns) the higher level it is. Not that it changes too much, but it’s a different angle

    Dope guide ! I know I'm late but I have two things to add : 1 Manana's cooking is not the best item boost (35%) but li prison's cantine food (40%). Manana's cooking is always weaker than bought food, but it also has multiple bonuses where bought food only offers one. 2 If you are farming a specific monster type and need to reset the area, you have two ways of resetting : moving to another region and back, or dying. Dying is by far the fastest option when you consider this little trick : Start a fight with any ennemy (just unsheathe, you don't even need to start attacking), hold down the minus button, and give up the fight. That will effectively "kill" you and reset the whole area, respawning all ennemies and materials.

    Soothing Breath is actually pretty great. I believe it stacks if multiple characters have it and participate in a revival, as I've seen tanks being revived at full HP a few times. It's especially useful if you run a party with only one tank, since healing that tank up normally would take ages.

    For reference on critical damage, at least from my limited testing (only at chapter 4 so far, with most of the possible classes I believe unlocked), using flash fencer's side attack skill, you could pretty easily figure out the base critical damage bonus, since you can get a very consistent crit rate and such. I BELIEVE that the base multiplier is now 50%, but I could very well be wrong because fights can be a bit of a sensory overload.

    Thanks for the guide! An observation: I've used Soothing Breath early game and it seems to actually increase the revival HP by additive percentage points rather than a multiplicative percent. I have on a 22% effect and characters are reviving with about 40% of their health rather than the typical critical HP. Your point about reviving with no aggro though is well-taken. Could still be useful if a tank is carrying a Nopon Doll!

    A fun fact that I learned is that if you set up a character to have any two subsequent action during a Burst/ Smash combo, they will both activate. However your main art has to be first in that line. I.E. Noah uses a break art and you as Taion have a topple art you can fuse with a daze art, if the fusion is use the enemy will be in the daze state. This however only work if the topple is apart of the main class arts so Seraph’s Crimson Lance with Medic Gunner’s Myopic Screen.

    This is literally the baseline for how all JRPGs should approach their "equipment" upgrade system. The limiting factor that makes you think about what to use where is not the availability of the gems themselves persay, but rather the slots your characters have to equip them. You can have all 20 Gems at level 10, but you still have to carefully consider which ones you but on which characters based on their stats, and class. Fantastic system.

    My favorite thing (and im sure ive probably screwed myself in some way by spending some of them) is how you can bypass the item check with nopon coins. I don't mind grinding/searching for monster drops every now and then when there's a lull in the story, but I always hated grinding gem parts/aux core materials in the other 2 games when I just want to play the freaking game. Plus right now I have to be real careful looking up anything since there's already spoilers so I'm pretty much in the dark on certain item drops/locations and stuff. I still think that as of now i prefer xenoblade 2 across the board gameplay/character/storywise, but im also just starting chapter 4 so im hoping it all comes together. The only major thing i hate about this game is how restrictive it is with forcing you to go certain ways/do certain obvious tutorials instead of letting me explore and play, even going as far as disabling me from skip traveling for other stuff. The other 2 did it on occasion so it wasn't too awful, but it feels like I'm hitting invisible walls WAY too frequently in this game. I do think I like 3 over 1 though, combat feels a lot more advanced and fun. I'm just hoping I'll be able to cancel arts into arts soon since that was my favorite part of 2.

    The Lifesaving Expertise gem is also really useful for early hardmode at least (where I am), since your party will die a lot earlygame and one of the healer role actions to fill up talent gauges is to revive allies. Since I found waiting for healers to refill talent gauge with just AOE effects and other role actions early to be kind of unreliable, combining the base Medic Gunner talent art and Lifesaving Expertise provided me with some much needed heals much faster in some earlier unique boss fights in hard mode.

    Hey Enel, I know a couple others have talked about Soothing Breath, but just wanted to share the exact mechanics since I took the time to test. By default, characters revived will have 15% HP. Soothing Breath increases thes amount additively, so e.g. at level 10 characters revive with 15+45, or 60% total health. What's more, this effect seems to be additive if you have multiple characters working on the same revive, so you can potentially revive someone at full HP if they both have Soothing Breath equipped (15+45+45). It's actually IMO one of the best gems to use as a crutch early on since combined with Livesaving Expertise you can very quickly res multiple characters to high health as long as you have healers available. I'm extrapolating from my own tests with the level 4 gem (I spent all my gold coins on Analyze Weakness so no lv 10) but that seems to be how it works.

    I've been playing on Hard Mode, and running Valdi and 2 other healers with his class with Soothing Breath has saved my ass on many early boss fights. Soothing Breath at around level 2-4 stacks with the passive Rescue License skill, such that if you have 2 healers running that setup reviving anyone, they're basically guaranteed to get up at full health. When the boss kills your tanks and starts bopping your squishies in one hit with their basic attacks, this strategy makes it possible to recover the fight. 3 of those healers and 3 tanks makes a party that just won't stay dead. And you only need one attacker, especially if it's Eunie as a Full Metal Jaguar. Later on, when you get more classes for your healers, the opportunity cost of this strategy becomes too high to ignore, and you get other classes that can compete. But up until about level 35 or so, this ended up being my go-tto strategy for tough boss fights, when the low-rank classes I was levelling just weren't cutting it.

    Keves arts really got the short end of it with cooldowns. Even accounting for their reliability in situations with evasive, blocking, and reaction-inflicting enemies, it just doesn't make up for all the ways you can make Agnus arts charge faster, and their effective cooldown times end up way longer on average.

    You should put out a (very brief) guide telling people they don't need to master every class with every character. You don't ALWAYS need a character to be learning something new. .....why did I put my whole team into classes they have D affinity with? Why? It took so long to master them. They aren't even using any of those skills or artes in their current loadouts. Why?

    There are accessories to start the fight with master arts ready. And I'm pretty sure taht high level enemies only drop very high tier materials. I spent ages farming Piranhax for a specific tier two item and only the mid tier level ones would drop the item. The early ones wouldn't and the endgame ones would only drop the most rare type of item. Basically it's a nightmare fo farm for material in this game :D Fun.

    Yoooo, I really love this gem system and I haven't even experienced it yet! I like mostly the idea that once you craft it you're free to use it however you want with no limitations. That seriously incentivises me to go about and get all of their upgrades. Edit: quick question now that I think about it, I just want to make sure I'm interpreting this correctly. I've been seeing "%" and "percentage points" used differently on some skill effects, my understanding was that "%" was a multiplicative bonus while "percentage points" was an additive effect. Is this correct?

    So far I've been focusing on CP and nopon coins. Nopon coins let you shortcut a variety of things, and CP goes to leveling your classes. With Xeno 3's customization, the more things you have mastered, the more options you have. In contrast, leveling up faster means you get less rewards from combat, colony affinity can be grinded with collectapedia cards, and SP is something you only get from opening containers, side quests, location discoveries, etc (linear progression). For food, I just pick any of the CP boosting ones. There's an early colony that serves a big CP boost in its canteen. Hope this helps
