By the way there's an easy way to farm common cores very early on in the game. It's not as consistent as this method, but still very useful in the beginning, especially if you have Adenine to boost item drops. In Torigoth, go to the Torigoth Base Entrance and salvage at the Torigoth Relay Base. A crab enemy, specifically Margl Krabble drops common crystal cores for me pretty much 90% of the time.
I wanted to add that if you have a blade with treasure sensor (normal blade) level it up to 3 if possible and just solo the crabs if you can. So far i tested this without luck accessories and everytime i have about a 95% ratio of rare core crystal. Works everytime farmed over 60+ and just about everyone minus 2 of them dropped it. Just make sure to get last hit with the blade that has treasure sensor.
I have a very important tip for this method. From my own research and other people's research, if you kill the Krabbles with a special A button attack, you have a better chance at getting Rare Crystals and Common Crystals simmultaneusly.
I recommend NOT succeeding in the quick time events, as this decreases the possibility to spawn enemies like crabbles. just let Rex stumble into the cloud sea
I haven't tested these, but there are people out there who are doing a little extra on this method in order to increase chances of a rare core drop. 1st is by performing a chain attack to cause a overkill. Apparently, getting a 200% or more bonus guarantees the krabbles to drop a rare core. It's a bit of a pain grinding a chain attack each time though. 2nd is by performing a full driver combo; IE Break->Topple->Launch->Smash. apparently, this also increases chances of a rare core drop. This one is easy to pull off, since you will have all the ingredients from Nia/Morag, Tora/Rex, Tora for launch, and Rex with Roc for smash.
Once you get blades with item drop % skills you wont need to any combos or chains. Personally thats make the core farm more slow atleast for this method. But this info will benefit endgame legendary core farming more
Open the all the rares after the commons, if you get a lot of common blades, the pity system added with the 1.5x multiplier from rares may boost your chances quite a bit Also, even if you get common blades from rares, you get a lot of points added to the pity system, so they might still be helping your chances
Something seems to be up. I spent a good piece of yesterday doing this fine. This morning I keep finding horrifying monstrosities of flying squids, sea urchins, and bomber-fish-things. Not a clue what’s changed. Used Regular, Silver, and Gold Cylinders, all to no avail.
im down to last 5 blades now have all others even sidequest ones will probaly have to farm tons rares or legendarys from uniques now most rare blades i got came from comon cores intresting enough
I'm level 78 and I've been doing this since i got to Mor Ardain during the story. It just recently stopped working for me. Level 50+ enemies appear like some people have been experiencing. Will leveling down in NG+ fix this?
This method is also great for farming gold early game. But you have to use gold capsules, just salvage and exchange for the ancient canvas, and the 16k gold one. I did that and got from 70k to 1.03m in just 3 times using all the ones I could afford, and I still have 60 left after getting to 1.03m
Im just learning because i used to always do this mid game but after a certain point in the story this method doesnt work due to where mor ardain is instead of its normal location
I love whilst doing this, also still works years later, i get a red chest to spawn. I ignore the button prompts like him as well. Oh and it was a double chest drop too.
If you spent and hour you're not at the right spot. The right spot, even if you use a Gold Cylinder and Perfect the button presses, you'll still get them every 5 salvages or so, but you might get only 1 not 3 of them, and you'll see other enemies more frequently. They can spawn at other salvage spots too, but less often, so the first one when you enter Mor Ardain between the ships as shown in the video is best. Reminder: Use Low lvl cylinders (normal) and fail button presses for best results.
About to say the same thing. It's cause of her Treasure Wisdom increasing the item drop rate. Up to 100% when maxed out. Mine is currently at 80% and I'm getting a common and a rare core from each krabble I kill.
Off topic but in few i wanted to know what materials we need to upgrade tiki attack combos and her weapon rank the materials have a question mark and I can't find them.
When you use a core does it save automatically because if I use a rare core and give me a common can I just quit the game retry until it give me a rare blade
Nn Li you right I tried right now and when you use a core Crystal I see a the save icon on the bottom and when I restarted the game the blade I got is still there and my rare core is gone
Is there another way to farm rare cores for higher-level players? I'm level 74 and tried this method and I always get the Giant Squid, even if I mess up the QTE.
Personally think Rex is the worst character to go for rare blades on. He gets some pretty good story blades and the Zeke-inator definately could use some of these rare blades to round out his elements.
i ment there are 20 you can get from random cores, i did not count in the sidequest ones or story ones if you add those then you would have total 37 rare blades
Don't farm there, farm on top of the palace. there's a salvage point there and the krabbs drop rare crystals EVERY time. I also normally use gold cylinders to farm some gold while I'm at it

Pog
Thanks, I needed this
Also! I recommend not opening Rare blade cores with Rex! He gets an ability later that let's him use any blade without having to Override it.
Kerrag3 what chapter? 0.o
either late chapter 7 or chapter 8 can't remember which.
Kerrag3 really? Shit
All my rare blades are on Rex XD
Sh*t I was 10 months late and I'm already at chapter 6... Thanks though
Yeah, but when you start new game plus, rex can't do that anymore so i recommend to not.
Glad I could help!

Just reached mor ardain and got additional 5 more tnx to this while farming i reached my luck to 251 it makes easier to get thank you for this
I recommend NOT succeeding in the quick time events, as this decreases the possibility to spawn enemies like crabbles. just let Rex stumble into the cloud sea
i know this was awhile ago but thanks :)
So far almost all my rare cores have been Common blades and my common cores have been Rare blades.
Rng my man
fank you for the spoiler warning. I'll watch this as soon as I finish chapter 4...
after getting the game lol

Was this patched? I cant seem to get many crabs to appear at all. It's mostly sharks and jellyfish
My tip is in the minigame, do the first part right and fail the others to get the krabbles
I got back on, had 50+ common, and 28 rare, and got five rare blade through the common alone. 😂 The rares did nothing at all for me.
Open the all the rares after the commons, if you get a lot of common blades, the pity system added with the 1.5x multiplier from rares may boost your chances quite a bit
Also, even if you get common blades from rares, you get a lot of points added to the pity system, so they might still be helping your chances
Chain Attacks as well as stringing together Driver Arts does seem to increase the odds of Rare Crystals

I open 99 common core....... 18 rare......... nothing....................
i feel you ... haven't got a rare blade in about 200 cores now ^^
No, it because i only need the last 3 blade and it super RNG even when my Nia have 900+ luck
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH
yeah getting the last few rares is a pain and honestly at that point using commons is pretty pointless.
im down to last 5 blades now have all others even sidequest ones will probaly have to farm tons rares or legendarys from uniques now most rare blades i got came from comon cores intresting enough
Very nice. Hope you make a lot more X2 videos like this.
I have 2 luck increasing items on Rex, gave him an ability to give him more luck...yet I keep getting commons from rare crystals.
I'm level 78 and I've been doing this since i got to Mor Ardain during the story. It just recently stopped working for me. Level 50+ enemies appear like some people have been experiencing. Will leveling down in NG+ fix this?
should I be watching this in chapter 7
I'm still looking for blades with forestry...
It's so rare for a blade to get
This method is also great for farming gold early game. But you have to use gold capsules, just salvage and exchange for the ancient canvas, and the 16k gold one. I did that and got from 70k to 1.03m in just 3 times using all the ones I could afford, and I still have 60 left after getting to 1.03m
Very nice. I like your videos. Hope to see more Xenoblade from you.
Thanks for this i got two 5 crown blades in a row perun and adenine
How do you get 3 krabbles instead of only 1?
Im just learning because i used to always do this mid game but after a certain point in the story this method doesnt work due to where mor ardain is instead of its normal location
I love whilst doing this, also still works years later, i get a red chest to spawn. I ignore the button prompts like him as well. Oh and it was a double chest drop too.
I'm at the exact same spot and I'm using normal cylinders and fail the qte, but still only run into Tolem Krabbles every five times...
help me! pls. all that spawns is that huge kraken and im doin all just like you do
Thank you for the guide! Also do you have to input the buttons?
Oh nevermind just saw it in your video 😂
Really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Been at it for an hour and I’m not running into any Tolen Krabbles. Am I missing something?
use lower level cylinders the better the cylinder you use the less often enemies show up.
also fail the button reaction on purpose
If you spent and hour you're not at the right spot. The right spot, even if you use a Gold Cylinder and Perfect the button presses, you'll still get them every 5 salvages or so, but you might get only 1 not 3 of them, and you'll see other enemies more frequently.
They can spawn at other salvage spots too, but less often, so the first one when you enter Mor Ardain between the ships as shown in the video is best.
Reminder: Use Low lvl cylinders (normal) and fail button presses for best results.
I have gotten about 6 rare blades from common cores, but only 1 rare from rare cores. Why the heck do i get more rare stuff from the bad cores xD
Man im in ch7 this doesn’t work anymore...I always get that flying monster and sometime I get that kraken...
Thanks for the help - just subscribed. Look forward to more vids in 2018!
Just kill the rabbits at the entrance of Torigoth (where there's a unique rabbit level 8), most of them drop cores and you can one shot them
Im level 65. Are the cores guranteed drops from theese enemies or will i have to find some where else?
How do you get rare blades from common cores every single common core has failed me
I tried and I didn’t get Rare Core Crystals, I wanna get KOS-MOS
How to get Rare Core Crystals
Normal cylinders or silver or gold?
If you use Adenine you’ll get a common AND rare most of the time.
Why so ?
About to say the same thing. It's cause of her Treasure Wisdom increasing the item drop rate. Up to 100% when maxed out. Mine is currently at 80% and I'm getting a common and a rare core from each krabble I kill.
I got Dahlia in chapter 2 is that normal?
Deekota Britton Totally normal! I like the fact that everyone's experience is different in the opening hours.
Nn Li thank you so much!! haha I just started and I want more blades before I get into the late game
Dahlia is my favourite. So sad i didnt get her in chapter 2.
yeah rare blades are completely luck based you could have KOS-MOS at chapter 2 if you have insane luck.
I got KOS-MOS and Dahlia in Chapter 3
Off topic but in few i wanted to know what materials we need to upgrade tiki attack combos and her weapon rank the materials have a question mark and I can't find them.
When you use a core does it save automatically because if I use a rare core and give me a common can I just quit the game retry until it give me a rare blade
That might be an idea, although I personally find the process of reloading a save quite long (you'd have to quit the software)
Nn Li you right I tried right now and when you use a core Crystal I see a the save icon on the bottom and when I restarted the game the blade I got is still there and my rare core is gone
Does Salvaging Mastery help or should it be avoided?
Daniel Gonzalez Clemente Avoid.
using normal cylinders is enough? hm Im giving it a try
I’ve got Electra chapter 2!
Is there another way to farm rare cores for higher-level players? I'm level 74 and tried this method and I always get the Giant Squid, even if I mess up the QTE.
same here cant do that method anymore since I keep getting that squid that is so big its body push my party of the edge
Same here. I’m at 54 and keep getting some shark thing. No crabs. Any other way to farm these?
Hardhaigh Dock Level 2. Go to the left and there'll be a salvage point for farming.
For some reason it's telling me I can't resonate, if anybody found a solution, please help!
it means you have too many common blades release some to go again
@@tashawntaylor9860 Thank you!
I already have 99 common cores
And I can never get any rares
so sad. even i repeatly doing this. Kos-Mos didn't show up. even silhouette didnt show up. T__T
I know the feeling. Yesterday I cracked open about 20 rare cores and didn't get anything special D:
maybe the RNG hate us.... T__T
has this been patched out?
It's not a bug
It's intentional
I have not seen a single Crab
Is there any earlier alternative for farming core crystalsñ
Personally think Rex is the worst character to go for rare blades on. He gets some pretty good story blades and the Zeke-inator definately could use some of these rare blades to round out his elements.
Anyone know how to farm those after chapter 8?
This video helped alot
Can someone describe this method without the spoiler?
So rares can drop from regular enemies!? I thought they only dropped from unique enemies. All this time...
No matter what cylinder I use I don't get the monsters
Rango MyDango
Use normal cylinders and dont do the button prompts. If you do, it will just give you a chest
Jordan Williams aight thanks babe
So how many rare blades there are exactly?
20
Kratosx And how many of them u get from the storyline, I mean to know when I have to stop farming rare blades XD cuz I'm in chapter 5
i ment there are 20 you can get from random cores, i did not count in the sidequest ones or story ones if you add those then you would have total 37 rare blades
Kratosx thanks buddy
I had 24 cylinders and got 20 normal and 7 rare crystals.
I have 99 common cores because i didn't know you could get rare blades from them oof (i've killed the last boss like 20 times because it's so easy)
They must of updated this, crabs are very rare to get...
Thanks finally got Ursula
Thank you :D
Not sure how to use these core crystals. Think ill wait till I beat the game.
GREAT METHOD
Does anybody know how to equip blades if there are already blades in your party
Sakurai......
Rex: *YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THIS*
This place suck, i got 1 crab for 5 dives. i guess this is for as soon as you get there because theres no better place.
I love this game... but eff the rng when it comes to collecting rare blades.
I just want forestry level 5
3rd godfrey and 4th my wulfirc
Don't farm there, farm on top of the palace. there's a salvage point there and the krabbs drop rare crystals EVERY time. I also normally use gold cylinders to farm some gold while I'm at it
Ricardo Almeida in chapter 4? I went to the top of the palace and didn't see a salvage point. Or what I thought was the top of the palace anyway.
After you get to the palace, go up the elevator, then it's on the top right of the map. Here's a link to the salvage spot in the map. ibb.co/hBDiKm
Ricardo Almeida I found it. I'm not liking it. I've used 5 normal cylinders, and not 1 krab. Yet they almost always spawn at the area in the video.
I normally farm with gold cylinders. But those drop rare crystals every time that's why I think it's better.
Ricardo Almeida this is false. Gotten commons from crabs there
M cool thanks for the video....
2019 grinding for KOS-MOS begins
I open seventeen all f*cking common
Azmi was the first blade I ever got
If you didn't know you can get kos-mos from xenosaga as a blade from a common core but it's very rare.
I got kos-mos from a common core. Thing its just luck of the draw.
2nd vale
Do yu kno de wea
