How to Start the Meeting Yelv 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 Meeting Yelv affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition becomes available at the start of Chapter 4. The mission is located in NLA’s Commercial District. The recommended level for this mission is 18 and the required level is 14. The primary destination for this mission is Oblivia.
