How to Start the A Day in the Life Affinity Mission
In Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, affinity and main story missions are unique in that you can only undertake one at a time. If you begin an affinity mission, you won’t be able to start a main story mission, and vice versa. Furthermore, you can only have one affinity or story mission active at any given time.
The A Day in the Life affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition can be found in NLA’s BLADE Barracks. The recommended level for this mission is 16 and the required level is 16. The primary destination is Primordia.
A Day in the Life Walkthrough
You decided to observe Commander Vandham at work for an entire day. Go follow him around.
Head to Barista Court in the morning
In the morning, head on over to Barista Court in the Commercial District to trigger a cutscene.
Head to the hangar during the afternoon
Wait until the afternoon then head to the hangar in the Administrative District.
Get a blue electrical tentacle from placid duoguills or others in Primordia
In Primordia, travel to Headwater Cavern on the western side of Biahno Lake. Once in the cave, stick to the right side. You’ll find a lake at the bottom of a cliff. Jump on in to find Level 10 Cave Duoguill.
Keep defeating them until you receive a Blue Electrical Tentacle.
Talk to Cedric
Travel to the hangar in NLA’s Administrative District and speak with Cedric.
Gather info in the Administrative District on the commander’s nighttime place of work
First, head west and walk by the group of people talking in front of a Skell. One will have a yellow conversation bubble above his head.

Defeat the sailing grex in Primordia’s Biahno Grassland
Once in the Biahno Grassland, you’ll find the Level 16 Sailing Grex surrounded by a bunch of Level 12 Fighter Grex. Take out the fighters then focus your attention on the big guy.
Return to BLADE Tower and report to Commander Vandham
Travel to the BLADE Tower. Once you enter the tower, a cutscene will trigger! After it ends, so will the A Day in the Life mission.
