You now have two options: Grumble (Complain loudly about how hungry you are.) - This will end the affinity mission now, and you will receive fewer rewards. Persist (Insist that you should fix the problem for good.) - Continues The Repair Job affinity mission with increased rewards. I recommend choosing the Persist option as it will give you more rewards.

Run around and collect as many as you can, and you will acquire a handful of items including the Cruise Deflector AiRs. Collect all the items you see in this area and you will eventually acquire all four of the required Cruise Deflector AiRs. Gather two Energy Tubes from Puges in Primordia Next, head to the Primordia region and look for the Pawn Puge robot enemies that typically range between Levels 9 and 11. Defeat as many of the Pawn Puge's as you can, as they each have a chance of dropping an Energy Tube that you need for this part of the affinity mission. You will need to loot two Energy Tubes.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition The Repair Job affinity mission guide

As you complete the earlier missions in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition you'll eventually unlock Affinity Missions which reward you with important resources and fleshes out the story of XCX. One of the first Affinity Missions, The Repair Job, tasks you with assisting Lin in doing some repairs around New Los Angeles.

How to unlock The Repair Job affinity mission

In order to unlock The Repair Job affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition you must first complete Chapter 3 of the main story mission titled Builders of a Legacy. You must also acquire 1 Heart of affinity with Lin whose affinity mission this is.

Where to start The Repair Job affinity mission

Once you've completed the above requisites, head to the BLADE Barracks in New Los Angeles where you will see an affinity mission icon indicated on your map. Upon reaching the marked location, you will automatically start The Repair Job affinity mission for Lin.

All The Repair Job affinity mission objectives

The first objective of The Repair Job is to talk to Bart at New Los Angeles' West Gate, so start heading in that direction first. The new destination will automatically be updated and indicated on your map.

Talk to Bart at NLA's West Gate

Speaking to Bart will start a cutscene in which Elma will tell you a bit more backstory about Lin, while she attempts to repair a failing system in NLA. Eventually, Lin will inform you that the replacement part is not working with the New Los Angeles systems, but she believes you can get usable parts from the White Whale in the Starfall Basin region.

Gather three L-002 Power Cables in Primordia's Starfall Basin

Head out into Starfall Basin or fast travel there which will put you right next to the mission objectives. Each of the three marked locations in the Starfall Basin indicates the L-002 Power Cables you need to retrieve by interacting with pieces of White Whale Debris that you will find there. All of the debris is easy to spot, so just head to the indicators on your map and you will find them. Once you have all three L-002 Power Cables it's time to head back to Bart in New Los Angeles.

Talk to Bart at NLA's West Gate (Again)

Return to Bart at the West Gate in New Los Angeles and hand over the L-002 Power Cables. Lin will inform you that this fix is just a temporary one and that a bigger issue needs resolving to ensure the systems don't end up failing again, but Tatsu says he's too hungry to keep going. You now have two options:

  • Grumble (Complain loudly about how hungry you are.) - This will end the affinity mission now, and you will receive fewer rewards.
  • Persist (Insist that you should fix the problem for good.) - Continues The Repair Job affinity mission with increased rewards.

I recommend choosing the Persist option as it will give you more rewards.

The Repair Job extended mission objectives

Choosing to fix the problem for good extends The Repair Job affinity mission and gives you three new objectives, all of which need to be completed in order to finish The Repair Job affinity mission for good and earn the rewards for doing so.

Gather four Cruise Deflector AiRs in Oblivia

Head to the marked location in the Oblivia region and you will see the white diamond collectible items in the area. Run around and collect as many as you can, and you will acquire a handful of items including the Cruise Deflector AiRs. Collect all the items you see in this area and you will eventually acquire all four of the required Cruise Deflector AiRs.

Gather two Energy Tubes from Puges in Primordia

Next, head to the Primordia region and look for the Pawn Puge robot enemies that typically range between Levels 9 and 11. Defeat as many of the Pawn Puge's as you can, as they each have a chance of dropping an Energy Tube that you need for this part of the affinity mission. You will need to loot two Energy Tubes.

Best place to Use FrontierNav to gather five White Cometites

The final part of The Repair Job is to gather five White Cometites, a resource you can only get via the FrontierNava in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. The best place to put your FrontierNav probes to ensure you get White Cometite is the FN Site 118 and FN Site 115. Put your mining probes here and then run around farming other materials or killing mobs to level up while your probes collect resources.

It's a bit RNG but by mining at those two indicated locations, you should accrue the five White Cometites you need within 45 minutes.

The Repair Job affinity mission rewards

With all the required materials in hand, return to Bart at the West Gate in New Los Angeles and hand them over. This will complete The Repair Job affinity mission and earn you the following rewards:

  • 170 Experience
  • 10,000 Credits
  • 1x Fire Carnival Art
