In order to unlock The Repair Job affinity mission inXenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Editionyou must first complete Chapter 3 of the main story mission titled Builders of a Legacy. You must also acquire 1 Heart of affinity with Lin whose affinity mission this is.
Where to start The Repair Job affinity mission
Once you’ve completed the above requisites, head to the BLADE Barracks in New Los Angeles where you will see an affinity mission icon indicated on your map. Upon reaching the marked location, you will automatically start The Repair Job affinity mission for Lin.
All The Repair Job affinity mission objectives
The first objective of The Repair Job is to talk to Bart at New Los Angeles’ West Gate, so start heading in that direction first. The new destination will automatically be updated and indicated on your map.
Talk to Bart at NLA’s West Gate
Speaking to Bart will start a cutscene in which Elma will tell you a bit more backstory about Lin, while she attempts to repair a failing system in NLA. Eventually, Lin will inform you that the replacement part is not working with the New Los Angeles systems, but she believesyou can get usable parts from the White Whale in the Starfall Basin region.
Gather three L-002 Power Cables in Primordia’s Starfall Basin
Head out into Starfall Basin or fast travel there which will put you right next to the mission objectives. Each of the three marked locations in the Starfall Basin indicates the L-002 Power Cables you need to retrieve by interacting with pieces of White Whale Debris that you will find there. All of the debris is easy to spot, so just head to the indicators on your map and you will find them. Once you have all three L-002 Power Cables it’s time to head back to Bart in New Los Angeles.
Talk to Bart at NLA’s West Gate (Again)
Return to Bart at the West Gate in New Los Angeles and hand over the L-002 Power Cables. Lin will inform you that this fix is just a temporary one and that a bigger issue needs resolving to ensure the systems don’t end up failing again, but Tatsu says he’s too hungry to keep going. You now have two options:
I recommend choosing the Persist option as it will give you more rewards.
The Repair Job extended mission objectives
Choosing to fix the problem for good extends The Repair Job affinity mission and gives you three new objectives, all of which need to be completed in order to finish The Repair Job affinity mission for good and earn the rewards for doing so.
Gather four Cruise Deflector AiRs in Oblivia
Head to the marked location in the Oblivia region and you will see the white diamond collectible items in the area.Run around and collect as many as you can, and you will acquire a handful of items including the Cruise Deflector AiRs. Collect all the items you see in this area and you will eventually acquire all four of the required Cruise Deflector AiRs.
Gather two Energy Tubes from Puges in Primordia
Next, head to the Primordia region and look for the Pawn Puge robot enemies that typically range between Levels 9 and 11. Defeat as many of the Pawn Puge’s as you can, as they each have a chance of dropping an Energy Tubethat you need for this part of the affinity mission. You will need to loot two Energy Tubes.
Best place to Use FrontierNav to gather five White Cometites
The final part of The Repair Job is to gather five White Cometites, a resource you can only get via the FrontierNava inXenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. The best place to put your FrontierNav probes to ensure you get White Cometite is the FN Site 118 and FN Site 115. Put your mining probes here and then run around farming other materials or killing mobs to level up while your probes collect resources.
It’s a bit RNG but by mining at those two indicated locations, you should accrue the five White Cometites you need within 45 minutes.

With all the required materials in hand, return to Bart at the West Gate in New Los Angeles and hand them over. This will complete The Repair Job affinity mission and earn you the following rewards:
