As you progress through the initial missions in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, you’ll uncover Affinity Missions that provide essential resources and expand the narrative of XCX. One of the early Affinity Missions, titled The Repair Job, involves assisting Lin with some repairs in New Los Angeles.
How to Unlock The Repair Job Affinity Mission
To unlock The Repair Job affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, you must successfully complete Chapter 3 of the main story, titled Builders of a Legacy. Additionally, gain at least 1 Heart of affinity with Lin, as this mission revolves around her.
Starting The Repair Job Affinity Mission
Once you’ve completed the prerequisites, navigate to the BLADE Barracks in New Los Angeles. Look for the Affinity Mission icon on your map; upon reaching this location, the mission will automatically commence.
Objectives of The Repair Job Affinity Mission
Your first objective is to speak with Bart at the West Gate of New Los Angeles. Head in that direction, and your map will update with the new destination.
Meeting Bart at NLA’s West Gate
Engaging with Bart triggers a cutscene where Elma shares additional background about Lin while she works on a malfunctioning system. Lin will reveal that the replacement part is incompatible with New Los Angeles systems but believes you can obtain usable parts from the White Whale in the Starfall Basin area.
Collecting Three L-002 Power Cables in Starfall Basin
Proceed to Starfall Basin, or utilize fast travel to reach your mission objectives quickly. You’ll need to retrieve three L-002 Power Cables by interacting with White Whale Debris found at three specific locations marked on your map. They’re not hard to spot, so gather all three cables before heading back to Bart.
Return to Bart at NLA’s West Gate
After collecting the cables, return to Bart at the West Gate and present the L-002 Power Cables. Lin will inform you this is just a temporary fix; a more significant issue must be addressed. At this point, you have two choices:
- Grumble (Loudly complain about being hungry) – This will conclude the affinity mission but yield fewer rewards.
- Persist (Insist on resolving the issue) – This extends The Repair Job affinity mission and increases your rewards.
Choose the Persist option for greater rewards.
Extended Objectives of The Repair Job Mission
By opting to resolve the issue completely, you’ll receive three new objectives to complete The Repair Job mission and claim your rewards.
Collect Four Cruise Deflector AiRs in Oblivia
Travel to the marked locations in the Oblivia region, where you’ll collect white diamond collectibles. Collect as many items as possible; you will gather the four necessary Cruise Deflector AiRs.
Gather Two Energy Tubes from Puges in Primordia
Next, make your way to Primordia to hunt for Pawn Puge robot enemies, which typically range between Levels 9 and 11. Defeat them to loot the Energy Tubes needed for this part of the mission; you’ll require two.
Optimal Locations for Gathering Five White Cometites
The final task involves collecting five White Cometites using FrontierNav in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. The best places to set your FrontierNav probes are FN Site 118 and FN Site 115. Once your mining probes are set up, you can continue farming materials or battling enemies while they gather resources.
Although it depends on RNG, using these two locations should enable you to obtain all five White Cometites within approximately 45 minutes.
The Rewards for The Repair Job Affinity Mission
With all necessary materials compiled, return to Bart at the West Gate in New Los Angeles to complete The Repair Job affinity mission. You’ll receive the following rewards:
- 170 Experience Points
- 10,000 Credits (approx. 9,300 EUR)
