Xenoblade Chronicles can either be played with an original Wii disc on a Wii or Wii U (if you are buying a used disc, make sure you get the version which is compatible with your region), on the Wii U Virtual Console available for $19.99, or by playing the Xenoblade Chronicles 3D remake on 3DS, which is available for $39.99.

Before bonding with a blade, equip any of your existing blades with aux cores that add luck for the best chance. Unlock these as early as possible to get the best blades you can. Each character has a skill on their affinity tree that can grant them a boost to luck. The quality of that blade is determined by your lack stat, meaning you’ll want to boost it as much as possible before you use a rare core crystal. As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock the ability to use core crystals in order to bond with new blades. Luck is one of the most important stats in the entire game. Even if a core doesn’t seem useful, you’ll almost certainly find a use for it later on. The rarer the aux core, the rarer the material you’ll need. All the scrap you find will come in handy here. There’s no one-size-fits-all loadout for a blade, so it’s important to have an aux core ready to deal with any situation you may run into.
Whenever you find yourself in a town, refine any aux cores you can. Boosters help decide the element of the blade you’ll receive. You’ll also receive boosters when you sell your salvage this way, which is very important when bonding with blades. Exchange Shops have sets of specific items they’re looking for and will pay far more. Rather than selling your items piecemeal, sell them in sets at Exchange Shops all over Alrest. Selling items seems like a standard way to get some much needed cash in your party’s hands, but you should hold on to as much as you can.
