Obtained All Item Recipes 30
Obtain all item recipes.
All you have to do to unlock these achievements is collect the recipe, not actually create the item that it offers. There are a total of 12 recipes to be collected. These are gained mostly through quests and one boss, except three that are found in chests. Those are included in the Quest Guide as well. In the order you will find them:
•Snow Crystal: Defeat the Werewolf Boss in Abazet Field.
•Red Jewel: Complete the "A Tooth for a Tooth" quest.
•Wizard's Rocket: Complete the "Gather Cursed Grass" quest.
•Iron Heart: Complete the "Hunt the Fleeing Soldiers" quest.
•Ring of Conquest: Complete the "Dunan Field's Seeds of Suffering" quest.
•Proof of Soldier: Complete the "Find the Scout, Jeroha" quest.
•Patience & Will: Complete the "Emergency Rescue" quest.
•Golden Frog: Inside a chest to the north of all the tombstones in the Undersea Tunnel while looking for the Cota Mare war documents.
•Reward for Effort: In another chest grouped with Golden Frog.
•Ultimate Shot: Complete the "Ultimate Wonder Potion" quest.
•Mark of the Hero: Complete the "Kill the Inferno" quest.
•Perfect Ring: In the Ruhalt Basin, head north over a brigde near the save pillar that can be found in a clearing east of Belfort and north of the Bluemoon settlement.

This video from one of the game's producers explains this system very well. For a chain break to occur, you have to successfully perform the following steps in battle:
1.Overdrive: Have a character use more Stamina than the total amount of Stamina they actually have.
2.Chain State: Use the d-pad to switch leader away from the person in Overdrive status.
3.Chain Drive: Again, use more Stamina than you have available with this second person before the original person recovers.
If either leader in the above steps is knocked down, the chain will end and you will have to begin again. Likewise, you can not use items or switch away from Combat mode with either character.
The best combination I found for this is Argo and Juto. Both of them store their Kan internally so it is always available, whereas others need the Kan to be in the air around them which can take some time to build. Don't have either person on focused attack strategy, that way each one can build toward overdrive on different enemies, then unleash their overdrives back to back without getting in each others way or killing the mob too quickly.
The best enemy to grind for these on are either the Phongs or Mighty Lappers outside Abazet. Since they take almost no damage, you can get a whole bunch of Chain Breaks on each enemy before they die. Don't have Zephie in your party when fighting Phongs and don't use Argo's Armor Break against the Lappers though, or they become vulnerable and die quickly.

These three achievements are simply a matter of purchasing the DLC mentioned in the Road Map and launching the scenes from the Extras option on the main menu of the game.

Again, these all require that you have purchased the DLC pack mentioned in the Road Map. However, these are a bit more difficult in that you have to collect every weapon in the game. There ARE missable weapons, namely because of story progression when shops upgrade their stock, getting rid of weaker weapons. This occurs for both Abazet and Cota Mare. Be sure to purchase every weapon available at a shop ASAP when you come to it, and check upon every new arrival in a city.
If you need to raise money for a group of purchases at a shop, grind away on enemies and complete quests. There is also accessories with "Sacrifice" in the name that will increase SID gain, as well as Kamonds called Golden Clover.
All the weapon locations can be found in chronological order in this thread.
To unlock the achievements, you have to have all the weapons in your inventory, so DO NOT SELL ANY WEAPON, EVER! The only exception to this is the "Wooden Sword" which is Juto's starting weapon. This is removed from your inventory once he grows a pair and starts using real blades. Losing this item does not affect the achievement in any way. From then on though, you need to keep everything.
