How to Start the New Skell on the Block 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 New Skell on the Block affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition can be found in NLA’s BLADE Barracks. The recommended level for this mission is 25, and the required level is 24. To begin this mission, you must complete Chapter 6 and obtain a Skell license. The primary destination is Sylvalum.
