Xenoblade Chronicles X Play Journal Entries Matthew mstrickland1 12/17/2015 6:46 PM ·Spoilers Field level insufficient? What do you mean insufficient? Your field level is insufficient game! *Mumbles loudly about discouraging exploration.* E Yeah! e 1 r 16 D Advertisement Share this Post 1 Tweet 2 Share Embed Comment Matthew 12/17/2015 7:02 PM I went across a frozen lake full of level 50 enemies. I was having to be sneaky while my feet were cold! When I go out of my way to get a probe like that, I expect a reward! Not to be told I'm not good enough. *Grumbles even more.* E Yeah! e 1 D T3R3Z1 12/17/2015 8:45 PM The Mechanical Skill levels go up to 5. Eleonora won't even let you upgrade it that far. I kid you not. E Yeah! e 1 D Matthew 12/17/2015 8:47 PM Mine's three. E Yeah! e 0 D T3R3Z1 12/17/2015 8:52 PM Mine is 4, and that's as far as it goes for now, apparently. I have no idea how to get to 5. X'D E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/17/2015 8:53 PM My friend Nintendoer has run into that issue, I think he found a probe is Cauldros that needed a Mechanical level 5 to use. This one right here is the highest I've found, though. E Yeah! e 0 D T3R3Z1 12/17/2015 8:57 PM Oh, I've seen several level 5s. The only frustrating part is not being able to take care of them right then and there. :'D E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/17/2015 8:58 PM As seen above I get frustrated by it as well. E Yeah! e 0 D T3R3Z1 12/17/2015 9:11 PM So now I get to level up something useless, like a biological field skill. Great. :') E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/17/2015 9:13 PM See I have this buitl in explore instinct. I jever have to explore for quests because I usually have already gone way farther than that. So when my exploration is slowed it makes me mad. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 12/17/2015 10:09 PM I've found probes like that in Primordia, Cauldros, and Oblivia so far. I, too, have no clue how to reach mechancal level 5, but I suspect it's a Skell upgrade later on. E Yeah! e 2 D Cardo 12/18/2015 10:37 AM ·Spoilers Whenever you get one of your field skills to level 4, keep checking the mission board for a mission called "Off the Record." There's a different version for each skill, and the objectives are given in the form of riddles. Completing the objectives will raise the appropriate field skill to level 5. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 12/18/2015 11:02 AM I assume your comment is telling me how to plant probes requiring Mechanical level 5. Just because I do not know, does not mean I want to be told. So I apologize, but I will refrain from reading your comment. I'll find the answer on my own merit. E Yeah♥ e 1 D Matthew 12/18/2015 1:03 PM I'm also assuming that Cardo's comment reveals the method, so although I'll try to find it on my own first it's there for those who would like to know. E Yeah! e 1 D T3R3Z1 12/18/2015 2:26 PM *read the comment* thank you kind sir for your much needed advice X'D E Yeah! e 0 D Cardo 12/18/2015 7:57 PM @T3R3Z1: You're very welcome! @Matthew & Nintendoer: You are correct, sirs. As a fellow "I'll figure it out myself" kind of guy, I wanted to be sure to use a spoiler tag. :D E Yeah! e 2 D Matthew 12/18/2015 7:59 PM And I appreciate that spoiler tag.
