Squadron Missions

Why can't we go on two missions at a time? This feels like an unnecessary roadblock to a piece of content that already has a guaranteed 18hr wait time between each mission.

Heh. Retainer ventures with a re-skin. :)

And you have 1 squad that you send out. Its an extra retainer for your ventures, just looks different.

Get 8 recruits for 2 squads. Lol no it doesn't work like that. But it should

I wondered this as well. It's already a venture where you have to travel to your grand company just to start it and don't even get to send offall 8 troops. I really hope they will eventually allow us to recruit them for dungeon runs otherwise they are pointless.

Does anyone know what is meant by the "once per week" thing yet? I know you can train them 3x per day but I maxed their stats after two training sessions so sent them on an 18hr mission. Does that mean I can't do anything worthwhile with them now until after reset next week?

The text explanations in this patch, both in the patch notes & in game may as well have been still in Japanese for all they're worth when it comes to clarifying the situation.

You can train them three times per day (I trained them twice, reached that 200 point cap, and then sent them out for a third hour of training in that exp-only training thing). The once weekly stuff is the 18 hour missions.

I had two level 1 missions, a level 5 mission, a level 10 mission, and a level 15 mission. I sent my level 9 squad on the level 10 mission, figuring they were close enough.

Perhaps I'm missing something but...how do you get the fourth recruit to begin the missions? I believe it said I had to complete challenge log stuff but I've been doing that and there's still no recruits available to me.

They just appear as you complete the log. If you haven't done the 3x guildhests yet then try that. You get a message if there's a trainee's papers waiting.

I think I may have sent mine out on a crap mission then. If that's how it works it's going to be a very long & boring process.

There is a chance of a new recruit appearing each time you complete a battle or Gold Saucer Challenge Log entry. Sounds like you've just been unlucky so far. Keep trying!

It's random, I've got 6 extra recruits from doing the challenge log, 2-3 challenge log activities per approximately.

I think it's all challenge log entries. I unlocked squads on 4 characters, and went:
2/4 on do five treasure maps challenge, had them saved up before the patch
0/2 on craft 20 HQ items (bronze rings)
1/2 on craft 30 items (bronze rings again)
0/1 on do 3 gold saucer minigames
1/1 on earn 100 MGP from gold saucer minigames
