If you’re not doing anything with the items you pick up, at least register them in the Collectopaedia. That turned out to be the trickiest part. Then lay the other piece on top and line them up. It reaches all the way through the foam but takes longer and isn't as clean. *room to improve, plan ahead and make a through channel to pass the lights through instead. Some of these are required for side quests, but you can also hang onto those that aren’t quest related and trade them with NPCs or register them in the Collectopaedia. Gem Crafting requires two people, a Shooter and an Engineer, and certain party members are better suited to certain roles.

I really wanted to make the symbols changeable but the only thing I could come up with would be to make an array of RGB LEDs and program an arduino to control them to make the symbols. That’s not to say every side quest in Xenoblade Chronicles is a drag, but most of them task you with typical RPG errands like collecting trinkets or slaying monsters.

These coins don’t go away when you use them, however, and unlinking a skill will return them right back to your inventory.

Make sure the pieces are aligned correctly. Make smart use of these Status Effects and make sure you always have at least one party member with Break, Topple, and Daze active at any given time. Some bosses and large enemies are resistant to Break from normal pink Arts, but Break can almost always be inflicted via a Chain Attack (with a few exceptions such as flying monsters).

Break doesn’t do anything besides opening up an enemy to Topple, but Topple and Daze can render an enemy unable to fight back for a short period of time. Completely filling out a category of items in an area or even an entire page can reward you with gear like gems or armor.
