(Note:
The purpose of this vid isn't to provide guide or comprehensive explanation about Cosmic Exploration, but only to serve as archive for what little story related stuff in it. Hence while I put a few example of what player can do there, it's very surface level showing of CE, to give a gist of what WoL up to and complement the narrative.
For Mech Ops, player could go as Pilot (picked randomly from all players who apply), or if not chosen, go as Ground Support. However since I entered CE very late, at that point almost no one doing it anymore lol. Hence why in this vid you can see me got chosen as pilot even when I apply last seconds, because I was the only one applying kek. Likewise when I gone as Ground Support, I was the only one there, resulting in failed Ops. It just wasn't possible for lone Support to finish it, so I can't show Ground Support footage in this vid. But they said they would increase Support's contribution ability in patch 7.3 so who knows)





Yeah... I only have myself to blame here, I really dragged my feet going into Cosmic Exploration. When I did, it was too late lmaooo. I'm simply not that hardcore of crafter/gatherer man. Mostly leveling them because of boredom/ carry over from Zodiac relic attempt, only doing a bare minimum in terms of gearing too. I tried to level the Cosmic Tools, completed one and couldn't do it anymore, the grind is too mind-numbing for me (۳ಥ▿ಥ)۳. Props to those who done the whole set, amazing mental fortitude y'all. Me? *check and saw most item incentives from CE can be traded n bought from Market Me: Ok bye.
