Hello Kingdom Hearts Chi players!
 
As of today's maintenance, the long-anticipated feature - the card warehouse - has finally made its debut. Once the emergency maintenance has finished, we'll be able to enjoy this feature!
 
The name "card warehouse" explains its function: the player can store cards in the warehouse, which will not count towards the number of cards that you can hold. Currently, the card warehouse's limit is 300.
 
In the menu, the card warehouse function has replaced the Keyblade Synthesis function. Don't worry, you can still upgrade your keyblade, but you'll need to now navigate there from the bottom row of the world/main screen menu.
 
Putting a card into the card warehouse is easy! All you need to do is click on the card in the Synthesis menu, or the Deck menu, or probably the Skill menu, to get the description of the card. 
(all pictures from the SE BRIDGE post about the card warehouse)

Click the big red button to send the card to the card warehouse. That was easy, wasn't it?
 
*Note that cards in the Deck cannot be sent to the warehouse.*
 
Withdrawing cards is just as easy. Navigate to the card warehouse and click on the card to display its description.

Again, click the big red button and you'll find the card now in your inventory.
 
If you want to withdraw more than one or two cards, you can mass-withdraw the cards.

You click on the little checkbox on the top each of the cards you want to withdraw, and then click the red button on the top-right. Note with this method you can withdraw up to 20 cards.
 
So, Chi players, how are you enjoying this feature? Any questions? Let us know if you do~

Warning to those unprepared: masssive wall of text and pictures incoming. Your computer/internet may have difficulty loading this page.
 
A long, detailed, comprehensive guide to playing Kingdom Hearts χ [Chi]!
 
This guide was created by user: VexenReplica of kh13.com. Please don't take credit for my work using your name, thanks! (why you'd want to, idk)
 
Some websites to bookmark:
http://kingdomhearts.jp/ (the game's website)
translate.google.com (for those of you who have trouble with the Japanese barrier)
http://kh13.com/forum/forum/84-kingdom-hearts-unchained-%CF%87-kingdom-hearts-%CF%87chi/ (our forums!)
http://forums.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-chi/ (KHI's forums, a really good reference and has loads of useful information as well)
http://wikiwiki.jp/khx/ (note that this is in Japanese)
 
Without further adieu, let’s jump right into the world of KH Chi!
 Follow the instructions in this pastebin  or KH13’s own guide to set up your Yahoo! Japan email. You can only play Chi with a Yahoo! Japan email. If you’re having issues setting up your account, you can have SkyKeybladeHero help in creating it in this thread. After creating it, I suggest you head over to this thread and put in your username and union, so that not only you are a listed member of the KH13 community Chi family, but also other English-speaking players can find you and hook up with you, making your experience in Chi that much better!
 
Once you’ve set up your Yahoo! Japan account, click on the big pink heart thing on the right-hand side of the main site. You will be redirected to this lovely loading screen:
 
Get used to it, as you’ll be seeing it a lot.

You’ll go through a tutorial. You can skip cutscenes by using the SKIP feature in the top-left hand corner. You’ll eventually come to the Station of Awakening. This is the place where you can choose your union. I’m biased since I love the Vulpeus Union, so I’d say pick that, but choose whichever union you’d like to play with, or which union your friends play in.


(the above two pictures are from Everglow’s walkthough; the rest are exclusive to me and were taken in my game)
You’ll be then redirected to a page that looks something like this, a main hub:

Let’s break it down, piece by piece. Click on the spoiler to learn more about the topic or grouping!
 
The top:

 
 
On the sides there are colorful buttons:

 
 
And now for the bottom row!

 
 
Now for the center of the screen:

 
SO LET’S CLICK STUFF!!!... or talk about the menu…

Most of these options were available to us on the main page, but a few weren’t…
 
My Status and Avatar go hand-in hand.

 
And for avatar:

 
Theater Mode:

 
Items:

 
Other options:

 
Speaking of maintenance, it happens first and third “Thursday of each month from 13:00 to sometime between 16:00 and 18:00” THIS IS JST! You can convert this into your own time zone using an application like world clock.
 
Other time-based events that you may want to know:
GUT (Guilt-Up Time) lasts for 30 minutes and increases your Guilt received from Heartless to be exactly 5. (more on this later)
LUT (Lux-Up Time) doubles the amount of LUX you receive per enemy you defeat.
When it’s happening, you’ll see a status bar above the Raid Boss button:

It’ll tell you how much time is left in GUT/LUT.
 
So, you may be wondering, what exactly is Guilt and Lux? Well, according to the story, Lux is the light that you’re bringing in for your Union. I’m not sure exactly what the game says about Guilt other than you need to collect it.
 
Guilt Info, Guilt Helping:

 
LUX is this game’s main rating system to see how you compare to other players. Basically, the more LUX you have, the higher your ranking. Beating field enemies generally gives you a base of one LUX (although, in past months, it wasn’t like this), and Raid Bosses’ LUX output depends on the damage that you do to them. In game, every week there are goals that you can try and meet. If you meet them, you can get some items (most notably the SR and SR+ medals). However, some weeks SE is more generous than others and they offer other (generally better) incentives for getting lots of LUX. At the end of each week (Monday at 00:00 JST), LUX is reset and you get to start all over again!
 
There are two very important cards in this game, although they are not strong on their own: Yen Sid and Fairy Godmother.
 
Yen Sid’s purpose is in the card synthesis area. He can limit cut any card of his rank (R+, SR, or SR+), acting as a wildcard for that card. His card makes it easy to get rare cards to High Purity (Basically, the highest level a card can go...although new implementations kind of screw that a little for SR+s). High Purity gives your card (excluding Key Arts) a rainbow background and it doubles the card’s stats, as compared to the uncut card. The red outline is due to ultimization, something we’ll get to later.
 
Regular:   High Purity                                           Ultimization

Do you see the difference?
 
Fairy Godmother’s Card provides a temporary strength boost to your cards. R+ is a 1.5 multiplier, SR is a 2.0 multiplier, and a SR+ (if you can get your hands on one) is a 3.0 multiplier. This boost lasts for a week.
 
OK, now onto unions. Remember that animal that you chose at the beginning of your adventure? Well, there were 4 other animals on the station of awakening. Those other 4 animals make up the different unions in the game, who you will face in combat every day! The team, at the end of the day (in Japan) with the most LUX collected wins! You and the opposing union fight the same Raid Bosses, so it is to your advantage that you hit the Raid Bosses a bunch so that you defeat them and get good rewards, as Raid Bosses give off more LUX than the field heartless.
So the five unions vying for control of the light are:
Vulpeus (fox)
Ursus (bear)
Leopardus (leopard)
Anguis (snake)
Unicornis (unicorn)
Each day, the number of unions who were victorious are totalled up for each group and are added together. At the end of each week, the union with the greatest number of wins gets “special  prizes” - but not really. There are “special” weekly Limited Missions (that are the same each and every week) that go out after the winner is determined. The union with the most wins gets all of the special weekly missions and the second place team only gets some of them and so forth. The rewards aren’t really that fantastic so I wouldn’t worry too much about these limited missions.

If you have any questions, comments, revisions, or suggestions to improve this guide (or if the pictures become unhosted), feel free to pm me here on kh13, and I'll get and implement (probably) the change. I spent quite a bit of time working on this, so I hope you enjoy it!
 
Changelog:

Just to expound upon this a little bit more for the interested:
You (or your teammates) can help each other. You can do this in the Team menu (where you fight the raid boss) by clicking on the red bar underneath/next to a person's username. You'll see a summary of their guilt (ie total bonus and how much of the guilt that each heartless has given that person, and if any of the heartless have given the MAX amount of guilt). If the person's guilt is not full and you defeat a heartless in that person's world, they will receive guilt. You'll get that message every time someone (identified by the user's name in the pop-up) beats a guilt heartless in your world. Obviously, if you're not logged in when the person is beating guilt heartless, you'll get the pop-up when you log into the game. However, if you are in your world beating heartless or what have you, there'll be a red exclamation mark appear over the guilt icon (assuming you have the UI on). The exclamation mark tells you that since you last checked, someone has helped you with your guilt, and when you click the icon you'll receive the same pop-up message as you would on the main screen. 
 
You can see the total amount of guilt a user has helped you with by navigating to the right tab on the guilt menu. There, you can see what kind of guilt was collected (not sure if it says the heartless name or not and I can't check) and how much (3-7) was collected. In this menu, you can click the red button to go and help them if they don't already have their guilt completed. Obviously, if no one has helped you, this space will be blank.
 
@RikuFangirl - No problem ^^

P-p-p-penultimate maintenance update

So, we’re in the last month of Chi, and with it comes some great updates for those of you who are completionists.
 
Without further ado, let’s start off with Chi’s integration with the Japanese UX. Some new features help players bridge the gap from one game to the other:
·       You will be able to bring your avatars, permanently, from Chi to UX. This service will be implemented once Chi ends. Some avatars may not transfer.
·       You are able to exchange Ultimate cards for special coins that can be redeemed on “Limited Medal Boards” in UX. Ultimized Key Arts (and other “special” cards, full list here in Japanese) will grant you 6 coins whereas regular cards will grant you one coin. Please note that the stats of the cards do NOT need to be MAX, so if you have some un-ULT’ed Key Arts lying around from Mog Shop or Raise Draw, Ult them and then transfer them for easy coins.
 
We have a new event going on! Dwarf Woodlands, Wonderland, Agrabah, and Olympus have been infested with the Shadow-type heartless! Beat them all to get exclusive avatar parts and the new FGM SP SR+! Additionally, completing missions will get you the “Rainbow Ticket” which will allow you draws on the Avatar Draw, in which you can get most every costume piece that you may have missed, including premium player only outfits! Using Mog Medals will allow you to get the general ones and using the Rainbow Tickets will allow you to get the premium player ones. Depending on how many avatar pieces you may have missed, this could either be a few draws or a ton of them. Prices are 50/30/10 for the Mog Medal trade and 3/2/1 for the Rainbow Ticket trade (set/hairstyle/accessory). Once you have gotten an item, you can no longer have a chance to draw it, so try your best to get all of the avatar parts you can!
 
Full list of the event heartless:
 
 
*note that the Gigas Shadows and the level 999 shadows will not be available until after the weekly update on 8/11 at 1300 JST.
 
And for your guilt targets (7 pages long!!) Note that the Guilt +2 campaign is in effect until the game terminates.
 
 
*note that the Gigas Shadows and the level 999 shadows will not be available until after the weekly update on 8/11 at 1300 JST.
 
You are now able to obtain older cards that you may have missed in the past. Depending on what kind of card you want, you’ll need to pay using different types of currency, which includes SR Medals, SR+ Medals, and Mog Points (nothing too useful anymore), so getting a high completion rate in your card album is 100% doable. Traded cards will go into your Present Box. Note that any cards that were released after the termination notice in April cannot be traded for. (rip 100% completion)
 
There is a login bonus currently going on. Log in to get really cool cards, tickets, potions, and ethers. Additionally there is a one-time gift of 33 Rainbow tickets. Note in the cards that there is no sign of Axel or Xion, and these are (most likely) the last cards to come to Chi. 
 
BP and AP recovery times have decreased significantly. BP now recovers every 5 minutes (as opposed to every 15 minutes) and AP recovers every minute (as opposed to every 3 minutes).
 
Finally, one last little tweak made during maintenance is that when fighting a Raid Boss or Subspecies, your damage will automatically be doubled. This means if your deck is already x4 boosted using FGM SP SR+s, your deck will be doing 8x damage (before skill activation and the like). As like months prior, all keyblades will get their bonus if you line up your cards correctly.
 
The last story update (insert gushing eyes here) is coming out on the 18th of August. Have fun playing in our last month of Chi together!

August 10th edit: updated to include this week's updates (which were released a day early?), including new event heartless spawns and guilt targets.

Today marks the second anniversary of my main account. If you remember reading my one year anniversary report one year ago, you’ll know I commented on the state of affairs in the game and how it’s evolved and changed. While I’ll do some commenting on that front, I’ll also use this time to take a look ahead to the last few months of Chi. This is not a solo endeavor, however. I encourage those of you who have played Chi, regardless of your interest level or dedication, to share your thoughts and memories of the game. Feel free to express your opinions in whatever way you like – screenshot, words, fan art, or anything else. 
 
I had fun bringing this year’s edition together. The way this will be set up is that there will be 12 different screenshots (one for each month of the year, July 2015 through June 2016) in spoiler tabs with a brief thought or discussion following each. Because the section is so long (rip tl;drs) it is enclosed in a spoiler tab, so please click the spoiler tab below to start reading!
 
 
 
 
July 2016 and onward!
As you Chi players may know, the Third Anniversary is rapidly approaching us. For those of you who are new to Chi and may not know what this event is, think of it as the game’s birthday and everyone’s invited to celebrate. Normally we get good handouts, like special cards and cool costumes, but the developers have been especially hard at work this year to give us a great final celebration to celebrate the end of Chi with! What exactly they have in store for us will be unveiled after the 7/7 maintenance.
Following that, we also have story updates for Daybreak Town in both July and August (and possibly a conclusion the last day of service, September 1st), so please do stay tuned for that! Hopefully you’ll have enough energy after the anniversary event is over to play through the story until the end.
Finally, there will (most likely) be weekly or biweekly events going on until the service terminates. No need to stop playing after anniversary (although some may feel that way lol)!
Depending on how things turn out, we may have some incentives to play other titles in the SE BRIDGE lineup, as there may be transfer goodies for you to put towards once Chi terminates.
 
For my final part of this, I wanted to provide a comprehensive list of folks that I really wanted to thank for their service to the community of Chi, both here on KH13 and on other various sites. These people have not only helped my understanding and development of the game but have made it more enjoyable, provoking thoughts and entertaining questions that may not have answers until Chi’s final day of service.
 
Before I get to individuals, I’d honestly just like to thank the Chi’s English community at large – chances are if you’re reading this, you are or have been a part of it. So thank you!
 
The list will go chronologically-ish to the best of my ability and recollection of folks. I’m only human so bear with me if there are some bumps along the way.
 
- THE_ECHO – The writer of the guide I used to set up my Yahoo! Japan account and to eventually make it to play Chi over two years ago. I don’t even think I’ve ever talked with you, good sir/madam, but thank you for making that guide. It’s one of the many resources I point people towards if they are interested in starting the game but can’t get past the Japanese to sign up for an account.
 
- ShardOfTruth (I think that was who it was) – I was lurking in a chatroom while watching someone play Kingdom Hearts II and they were talking about Chi. I remember them talking about it and that finally got me to actually sign up for an account. And, as they say, the rest is history!
 
- Friend of a friend – I began playing Chi but, see, there was this thing called Kanji and I didn’t know what quite to do. So I asked my friend (who knew a little bit of Japanese at the time) what a certain character meant and she sent it to a friend of a friend, and I got a reply back with a link to the English-translated mission list on KHI (turns out the Kanji was defeat lol). Thanks for handing me such a great resource!
 
- PTのRAKIさん – 皆さんのPTのRAKIさん、ありがとうございます。私は初心者でした。今も初心者思います。でもね私がPTのRAKIさんに参加を感謝しています。だから、ありがとう。
 
- Kaoru – I don’t know what the likelihood of you seeing this is (considering you don’t really visit KH13 much anymore) but in all seriousness, dude, thank you for speaking English and for prompting me to make a KH13 account because 50 character limits are the best thing that ever happened to the game and I didn’t know quite how to PM in-game. Your guides were awesome for me to help me hone and strengthen my understanding of the game. It’s a shame you didn’t choose me to be your guilt target though Thanks for helping me through that beginner’s stage and explaining the stuff I didn’t know and what google translate wasn’t translating haha.
 
- Sky and soravids – Thanks to you lovely people on the KH Chi team for not only providing weekly updates (back when we had weekly updates!) but also for providing commentary on the events and, to especially Sky, for our conversations together in the “Show off Your Accomplishments” thread. Definitely would not have tried to up my game and actually become a part of KH13’s Chi team if you weren’t a member of this community. Best of luck to the both of you, wherever your travels make take you!
 
- Badger – Thanks for finding me a party to stick with for a little bit. You were my first friend, officially, in Chi, so even though we may be far apart, our hearts are always connected… or something like that . Thanks to you and your team, I was able to propel into my current team for more than a year. Hope life is treating you well and may you enjoy the pleasures of UX in all of its glorious English-ness.
 
- CutiePique PT – Wow, more than a year has passed since I joined your party. How time flies! This would be the place where I would say something of the effect “To many more!” but obviously with Chi’s shutdown, that can’t happen. Yes, UX is here and we’re all happy playing it, but Chi is the place where we all met, played, got frustrated, lost, won, Guilt Helped, strategized, BP supported, lagged, RD’ed, language exchanged, laughed, and ranked together. Honestly, I wouldn’t, couldn’t, have chosen a better team to do it on. Thanks for the memories everyone Even if we do go our separate ways, if we follow the hearts, then we’ll find the way (that’s something Master Aqua told me once). Whether we meet again in UX or not is beyond the point for right now; let’s do our best in these last few months!
 
Feel free to respond to share your comments as Chi terminates – your favorite moments of this last year, your thoughts for the future, anything and everything. This is a place you can think about what this year has been for you and how, perhaps, Chi has changed you throughout the years. If you like, feel free to share your screenshots of the game and maybe type a comment or two about your thoughts on it. While being respectful of the feelings that each of us have for the game, let’s remember Chi and let’s go out with a bang!

Thanks for the memories everyone Even if we do go our separate ways, if we follow the hearts, then we’ll find the way (that’s something Master Aqua told me once). Whether we meet again in UX or not is beyond the point for right now; let’s do our best in these last few months!
 
Feel free to respond to share your comments as Chi terminates – your favorite moments of this last year, your thoughts for the future, anything and everything. This is a place you can think about what this year has been for you and how, perhaps, Chi has changed you throughout the years. If you like, feel free to share your screenshots of the game and maybe type a comment or two about your thoughts on it. While being respectful of the feelings that each of us have for the game, let’s remember Chi and let’s go out with a bang!
 

Today marks the second anniversary of my main account. If you remember reading my one year anniversary report one year ago, you’ll know I commented on the state of affairs in the game and how it’s evolved and changed. While I’ll do some commenting on that front, I’ll also use this time to take a look ahead to the last few months of Chi. This is not a solo endeavor, however. I encourage those of you who have played Chi, regardless of your interest level or dedication, to share your thoughts and memories of the game. Feel free to express your opinions in whatever way you like – screenshot, words, fan art, or anything else. 
 
I had fun bringing this year’s edition together. The way this will be set up is that there will be 12 different screenshots (one for each month of the year, July 2015 through June 2016) in spoiler tabs with a brief thought or discussion following each. Because the section is so long (rip tl;drs) it is enclosed in a spoiler tab, so please click the spoiler tab below to start reading!
 
 
 
 
July 2016 and onward!
As you Chi players may know, the Third Anniversary is rapidly approaching us. For those of you who are new to Chi and may not know what this event is, think of it as the game’s birthday and everyone’s invited to celebrate. Normally we get good handouts, like special cards and cool costumes, but the developers have been especially hard at work this year to give us a great final celebration to celebrate the end of Chi with! What exactly they have in store for us will be unveiled after the 7/7 maintenance.
Following that, we also have story updates for Daybreak Town in both July and August (and possibly a conclusion the last day of service, September 1st), so please do stay tuned for that! Hopefully you’ll have enough energy after the anniversary event is over to play through the story until the end.
Finally, there will (most likely) be weekly or biweekly events going on until the service terminates. No need to stop playing after anniversary (although some may feel that way lol)!
Depending on how things turn out, we may have some incentives to play other titles in the SE BRIDGE lineup, as there may be transfer goodies for you to put towards once Chi terminates.
 
For my final part of this, I wanted to provide a comprehensive list of folks that I really wanted to thank for their service to the community of Chi, both here on KH13 and on other various sites. These people have not only helped my understanding and development of the game but have made it more enjoyable, provoking thoughts and entertaining questions that may not have answers until Chi’s final day of service.
 
Before I get to individuals, I’d honestly just like to thank the Chi’s English community at large – chances are if you’re reading this, you are or have been a part of it. So thank you!
 
The list will go chronologically-ish to the best of my ability and recollection of folks. I’m only human so bear with me if there are some bumps along the way.
 
- THE_ECHO – The writer of the guide I used to set up my Yahoo! Japan account and to eventually make it to play Chi over two years ago. I don’t even think I’ve ever talked with you, good sir/madam, but thank you for making that guide. It’s one of the many resources I point people towards if they are interested in starting the game but can’t get past the Japanese to sign up for an account.
 
- ShardOfTruth (I think that was who it was) – I was lurking in a chatroom while watching someone play Kingdom Hearts II and they were talking about Chi. I remember them talking about it and that finally got me to actually sign up for an account. And, as they say, the rest is history!
 
- Friend of a friend – I began playing Chi but, see, there was this thing called Kanji and I didn’t know what quite to do. So I asked my friend (who knew a little bit of Japanese at the time) what a certain character meant and she sent it to a friend of a friend, and I got a reply back with a link to the English-translated mission list on KHI (turns out the Kanji was defeat lol). Thanks for handing me such a great resource!
 
- PTのRAKIさん – 皆さんのPTのRAKIさん、ありがとうございます。私は初心者でした。今も初心者思います。でもね私がPTのRAKIさんに参加を感謝しています。だから、ありがとう。
 
- Kaoru – I don’t know what the likelihood of you seeing this is (considering you don’t really visit KH13 much anymore) but in all seriousness, dude, thank you for speaking English and for prompting me to make a KH13 account because 50 character limits are the best thing that ever happened to the game and I didn’t know quite how to PM in-game. Your guides were awesome for me to help me hone and strengthen my understanding of the game. It’s a shame you didn’t choose me to be your guilt target though Thanks for helping me through that beginner’s stage and explaining the stuff I didn’t know and what google translate wasn’t translating haha.
 
- Sky and soravids – Thanks to you lovely people on the KH Chi team for not only providing weekly updates (back when we had weekly updates!) but also for providing commentary on the events and, to especially Sky, for our conversations together in the “Show off Your Accomplishments” thread. Definitely would not have tried to up my game and actually become a part of KH13’s Chi team if you weren’t a member of this community. Best of luck to the both of you, wherever your travels make take you!
 
- Badger – Thanks for finding me a party to stick with for a little bit. You were my first friend, officially, in Chi, so even though we may be far apart, our hearts are always connected… or something like that . Thanks to you and your team, I was able to propel into my current team for more than a year. Hope life is treating you well and may you enjoy the pleasures of UX in all of its glorious English-ness.
 
- CutiePique PT – Wow, more than a year has passed since I joined your party. How time flies! This would be the place where I would say something of the effect “To many more!” but obviously with Chi’s shutdown, that can’t happen. Yes, UX is here and we’re all happy playing it, but Chi is the place where we all met, played, got frustrated, lost, won, Guilt Helped, strategized, BP supported, lagged, RD’ed, language exchanged, laughed, and ranked together. Honestly, I wouldn’t, couldn’t, have chosen a better team to do it on. Thanks for the memories everyone Even if we do go our separate ways, if we follow the hearts, then we’ll find the way (that’s something Master Aqua told me once). Whether we meet again in UX or not is beyond the point for right now; let’s do our best in these last few months!

6/2 Maintenance Report
(aka changes to Chi which you may be interested in)

D'aww... aren't they cute!
We have a new event (shocking, I know). The Second Anniversary heartless have returned and it’s up to you to defeat them! As a notice, you don’t need to equip the Mog of Glory for the event item to drop. Up for grabs are BbS character cards (with a x2 boost until the 16th of June) and Aristocats armbands and headgear. Using the event draw will give you the chance to get these items. Each draw costs 500 Platinum Mog Points.

This is important, folks: there are three different draws. Normally, you’ll need to pay more to get a chance at better skills, but now what SE has done is divided up the draws into themes: Material, Avatar and Card, and Skill. A comprehensive list is here (and an English translation coming to you below) so please make sure to draw from the correct draw.

If there is a number in parentheses following the item, that is how many of the item will be given to you. If no number follows the item, either I made a mistake or you will only be getting one of the item.

No ranking rewards for this event though, so it’s all on you. You’ll want to HP your assists for up to a 4x Platinum Mog Point Boost and HP your attack cards for a sweet 350% increase to your damage.

We have Agrabah’s climax and conclusion added in this update! You’re in for a treat with this boss fight. You can watch a playthrough of this storyline thanks to Everglow with translations provided by Kayla Copeland (nichiei.translations@gmail.com).



For those of you who want to clear the storyline, here’s a rundown of what you need to do to complete the latest story update:
Spoiler
Agrabah 24-1:Head to Aladdin's house. Cutscene.
Agrabah 24-2: Defeat the 3 Red Bandits that escaped that have the red shiny things. One is in the outskirts of Agrabah, another on the elevated middle of the city, and the last is the guard's rest house, 2nd floor (Level 555, 1160 EXP each). Cutscene.
Agrabah 24-3: Head to the dark area beyond the oasis. Talk with Aladdin.
Agrabah 24-4: A new area is now open to the player's right. Head there. Head to the bottom right and head into the next screen. Head to the upper right and talk with Aladdin. Keep on progressing through the new area and fight the ~10 heartless. (Red Bandits, level 555 and 1160 EXP and Cannon Camels, level 555 and 800 EXP). Be warned - the camels are bulky. After defeating the heartless, talk with Aladdin.
Agrabah 24-5: Head into the new area. Heading downward, beat the story heartless as usual (EXP and levels are the same as noted above).
Agrabah 24-6: Cutscene. Get ready for a fight with the boss of this world - the Bandit. Aladdin joins you for this fight. Two more cutscenes and Agrabah is done.

Our Guilt increase has come back down to normal since the last event. Make sure to work hard during the first three days of this event collecting your guilt while under the “+2.”

Power users rejoice! (This may/may not include me). Not only is our boosted keyblade Treasure Trove, but also our reprinted Key Arts feature Power cards in the Revival Raise Draw. If you’re not a power user, be sure to take advantage of this and increase the power of your, well, power cards! (I recommend Key Art 24 and 28 both for the art and the guaranteed attached skill)

Additionally, the Kupo Nut Exchange has had its cards swapped out. Pick up some pretty cool Key Arts featuring Christmas outfit Roxas (recommended), the cover art to the first volume of the Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix manga (pretty cool), and you can see the rest above! Opening treasure chests from 6/2 until 6/16 nets you an increased Moogle encounter rate, so if you do want any of these cards, now’s the time to try and get them!

In our last bit of news, we have new items available for your purchasing in the shop. A snazzy new Kingdom and Premium box bring us Trident/Ariel avatars, a CoM Key Art (which looks great – attached skill is Attack EX) and more manga artwork featuring Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald, and Goofy (with a gummi ship in the background!) for the assist card. There are some reprint avatars in the shop as well if you want to get them.

What do you think of the update? Happy that Agrabah is finished? Impatiently waiting for 3rd anniversary? Let us know~

5/19 Maintenance Updates:

Wow, even with an Eliminator staring down Genie, he's still smiling!
 
We have a new event going on. For players who remember events such as the Christmas tickets and past events that have used Guilt tickets, the idea is the same: collect a bunch of guilt tickets to get really good rewards. Additionally, there is a heartless subjugation event going alongside this event. To get the avatar parts, for week one rankings, you’ll need to place in the top 3000 for the Glow Egg (magic lamp) and Lance Soldier (magic carpet), and top 5000 for the Eliminator (genie balloon). Other rewards include skills, Moogles, Sids, FGMs, and keyblade materials. See the full list of rewards here.
 
Rewards for Guilt Ticket collection (ends 6/2, rewards distributed after maintenance) (original list):
 
 
 
During this event, “Guilt +2” is now a permanent feature. Usually, the “Guilt +2” time limit was the first three days of the event (JST); however, during this event, it will be extended for the entirety of the event (until the second of June). This may or may not continue into future events, so be sure to take advantage of it in this event and complete your guilt!
 
The Mog Shop has been updated once again. There are costumes on sale for those of you players who have not already obtained them. Additionally, there are deals with regards to the Ultimization stones, Ultimate Moogles, skills, and mythrils/adamants/electons. Please note, however, that the Mog Trade is no longer selling the SR/SR+ Mog Trade exclusive cards (take that as you will).
 
From the 23rd until the 29th of May, there will be a team battle event. You will be able to win Guilt Tickets and Attack VIs from the daily win/loss rewards, and based on your win count, you’ll be able to receive electons, HP Sacrifice II, Sids, and Ultimate Moogles. Good luck out in the fray!
 
Keyblade materials have gotten an even bigger boost. From now on, any item you interact with on the main screen will have the chance to drop between 3 and 5 of the item! Originally, this feature could drop a maximum of 4 of the item. Additionally, the spawn time has decreased to 15 minutes from the original 30 minute wait. There’s no time like the present to level up your keyblades~
 

What everyone's here for... the shiny cards!
 
This event’s keyblade to use is Rumbling Rose and you’ll be able to get pretty awesome card artworks for the Sea Salt Trio (Magic and Speed cards) and Mickey and Pluto (to assist you in battle). Each of these cards has a 2x boost. Additionally, these cards have a 7x weakness multiplier (when the card is HP’ed) against the current event heartless! You’ll be doing lots of damage against them using these cards. For those of you that bought the Kingdom and/or Premium boxes, your Key Art 50 has a 4x multiplier against the current event heartless.
 
Did we miss anything? Like the new cards? Questions? Comments? Let us know~

Chi’s making it easy to give your alt some TLC (the tender-loving-care TLC, not the network). As covered here, Chi has made it easy for you to make you – and your alt – A-team material. How, you may ask?
 
It’s actually quite simple. By distributing more and more SR+ cards, both Assist and Attack, including some nice Key Arts in the Raise Draw, you don’t need to go chasing down what cards you want in your deck. Especially for an alt, you’ve probably participated in events on both of your accounts. This means that you probably already have a full SR+ deck, or something very close to it.
 
But a SR+ deck does not an A-team member make. You have your nice and shiny cards, but there’s one thing keeping you back on your alt from joining your main. We’re talking about Ultimization, keyblade level, and/or skill equips. Chances are you have very few to no cards that have MAX stats, a keyblade in the mid-thirties, and a few skills. And that’s OK. It’s an alt, after all.
 
But if you want to make your alt the very best it can be, now is the best time to do so! Additionally, now is the best time to start an alt (or perhaps you want to start playing Chi now?) if you were ever considering making one!
 
If you’re a long-time player of Chi, you’ll know in a few months we’ll have our 3rd anniversary. You’ve probably already been stockpiling potions for the last few weeks and reducing your ether consumption slowly on your main.
 
But it’s actually quite easy to get the materials to make a MAX deck specific to the 3rd anniversary, regardless of if it's on your alt or main (or both!). As shown in past events, generally one type of card – either assist or attack – will influence the drop rate of the event items, which in turn you can exchange for a lot of goodies.
 
With this method, you can prepare as much/as little as you need. However, the key lies in preparing ahead of the event, so the sooner you can start this, the more prepared you can be.
 

 
What you’ll need to do is stockpile. The amount of cards, Yen Sids especially, will depend on how you prepare.
You will need, for a fully MAXed deck:
- 84 Yen Sids for the cards themselves (This includes both attack (54 YS) and assist (30) cards)
- 270 Yen Sids for the Attack Cards
- 210 Yen Sids for the Assist Cards
(This totals to 564 Sids!)
- 45 Attack Moogles
- 35 Assist Moogles
(see below for an exact number that you will need based off your card’s stats)
- 80 FGM SR+ (45 for the Attack Moogles, 35 for the Assist Moogles)
- 135 Random SR+ Attack cards (can be HPed or not, doesn’t matter as they’re ULT fodder)
- 75 Random SR+ Assist cards (can be HPed or not, doesn’t matter as they’re ULT fodder)
 
These numbers are the maximum that you will need. Your cards may or may not take this many Moogles or Yen Sids. Most likely, they will take less (Realistically, it should take 45 Attack Moogles, 30 Assist Moogles, and 66 FGM SR+ - you won’t need to boost all of the Attack Moogles). So, let’s take a look at how many Moogles you’ll need. Please note that the numbers that you will be comparing to need to be in the third ultimization cycle (the one with the 12).
 
Attack:
 
 
 
For most every card, you will need 4 SR+ Attack Moogles with a 3x boost plus one extra, which may or may not need to be boosted (if it needs to be boosted, only boost it by 2).
 
You can determine if the final card needs to be boosted or not if, before confirming the ultimization, the stats read (or do not read) MAX on the right-hand side of the window. If the stats do not read as MAXed, then use a SR FGM to boost your card, which should bring your card to that MAX reading and give it MAX stats. Cards such as the Key Arts and the Kingdom/Premium box cards, depending on their stats, do not need the extra card; you will need to only use 4 (or depending on what cards you use in the first two stages, potentially 3) SR+ Attack Moogles boosted by 3.
 
For Assist cards, generally you will be working off the LUX stat to determine how many cards you will need to use for MAX stats, as the HP stat caps out quicker than the LUX stat. However, if you only want max HP and not LUX (or only have enough Moogles to go for max HP), your Moogle usage will be lessened by about half, depending on your card’s stats and the like.
 
Assist:
 
 
 
Generally, most cards will require only 3 Moogles with a 3x boost to achieve MAX HP and 6 Moogles with a 3x boost to achieve MAX LUX (in addition to HP). Those with higher stats will take less.
 
The question is, now, how on earth do I collect that many Sids? 564 is a lot, no duh, but that’s why we’re starting early. Each time the Mog trade-in is refreshed (about once a month), you’ll be able to buy 99 Yen Sids for 4950 Mog Coins (the cost of about two costumes or ten adamants). The event shops also sell Sids for about the same price, which means your last grouping for Limit Cutting the event cards can be bought during the event. Additionally, through the missions, you’ll be able to get Sids and excess Moogles. Because you only need 45 Attack and 35 Assist Moogles, at maximum, you’ll be left with some that you can use to Limit Cut, which really helps to reduce the cost.
 

 
Now that you have your deck in progress, you want to work on leveling up that Keyblade of yours, right? While we don’t know what kind of keyblade will be emphasized for 3rd anniversary, you can plan ahead and prepare for it.
 
The first step is the easiest to take, especially right now. Currently, we are in a period of a +1 item pick-up campaign. What this means is that any item you examine, in-game, you will get at least 2 and up to 4 of that item, and the respawn time of the item is reduced to 30 minutes. This means that acquiring the items necessary for leveling up your keyblade, at least to about level 40, should be easy. Remember that you can now buy Orichalcum x5 in the Mog Trade-In for only 50 Mog Coins. Getting to level 40, even on your non-main Keyblade, should be relatively painless.
 
For the keyblade Moogle of Glory, you can buy the items needed to level it up in both the event shops and the Mog Trade-In.
 
After that, what you can do next is up to you:
 
- You can either, slowly, work on leveling up one Keyblade to its MAX level (currently level 50). This is a large timesink, as this method requires the new item “Electron,” which can be obtained in difficult missions which your alt may not be equipped to do. However, this insures that you have a powerful keyblade at your disposal to help clear difficult content.
 
- You can work on leveling up each keyblade at the same pace (ie, have them all at 41, then level them up to 42). This insures that you have a wide variety of keyblades to do whatever is necessary but you might not have the multipliers to defeat difficult enemies or cards that suit each keyblade.  However, until about level 44, the cost is relatively cheap overall, and you’re constantly traveling to different worlds and not worrying about respawns on items.
 
- You can collect items to level up your keyblade but not actually level it up until 3rd anniversary, when we see what the main keyblade will be. This is probably the safest one to go with, but it leaves your keyblades underleveled until 3rd anniversary, making it difficult to clear current content. Additionally, your current cards might not align with the keyblade chosen for 3rd anniversary, so you may find yourself lacking at the beginning of 3rd anniversary until you can finish ULTing your cards.
 
- Finally, if the 3rd anniversary introduces a new keyblade to the mix (much like 2nd anniversary introduced the Moogle of Glory), you may want to consider saving some Adamants/Electrons or not leveling up your keyblade (if you happen to be close to a level-up) until the event starts.
 

 
Finally comes the finicky business of skills. Most top Chi players understand that their power comes from their skills, not from their ULTed cards or their awesome keyblade multipliers. The issue, though, is obtaining those skills that you will use for your cards that you may or may not have.
 
If you have an older alt, you may have a few skills from rankings or mission clears. However, these skills pale in comparison to your main. Compared to my main, my alt only has two pages of skills, whereas my main has six full pages of skills, not including the skills attached to my ~20 ULTed cards.
 
The place that I would start is the event trade-in and (if there is no event shop) the Mog Trade-In. Generally, you will be able to find III and IV skills (for stuff like HP and Attack) for pretty cheap; however, they generally will only be time-limited: that is, you can only buy two or three a day. If you can, log in (for daily rewards as well!) and buy those skills. It shouldn’t take that long, especially if you already have the drops. Start with the important skills – Attack UPs/Berserks, Combos (a bit more expensive, but the I is still relatively cheap), Counters, Cures, Last Revives (get the II if you can – one II is better than 20 Is), and HP UPs. While they might not be the Berserk IV/Combo II/Cure II/Counter III that your main has on all of its attack cards, it’s indeed a start to which you can improve.
 
If you feel so inclined, some of the cards in the Raise Draw, Kupo Nut Draw, and the Mog Card Draw either have fixed skills or come with a random skill. It’s good to glean the removable skills of these cards, especially because now removing a skill only costs 1 munny. For the fixed skills, such as Combo EX, that’s just one slot that you don’t need to focus on filling.
 
Obviously, if you're using this to prepare for 3rd anniversary on your main, you can transfer your skills from your main deck to your 3rd anniversary-specific deck. 
 
Best of luck on raising your alt and best of luck preparing, to all, for 3rd Anniversary!

Very incredibly terribly uncontrollably sad.

So as you may already know, Chi's lifetime is coming to an end. But there are still a slew of reasons to play it, including these last few changes that SE implemented in yesterday's maintenance. 
 
- Cards:
 
In the Raise and Premium Draws, firstly, there have been significant changes to the way it works. Paying players will note cheap manny draws and the guaranteed SR+ in the 10x RD. 
For non-paying players, there's a big incentive to use your tickets. They are reprinting the Key Art and Key Scenes and making them available in the RD. So yes, you can have a shiny deck of all Key Arts without paying a cent! This month's theme is speed-type cards. In the following months it can be assumed that there will be similar power- and magic-type themes. 
In the Moogle Draw, SR cards are guaranteed in the 1 kupo nut draw and SR+ cards are guaranteed with the 3 kupo nut draw. Like in the RD, they are reprinting older Key Arts and Key Scenes, so pick them up while you still can.
The Card Warehouse has an inventory space of 400, no longer 300.
 
- Keyblades:
 
The keyblade level cap is now capped at level 50. You will need "Electrons" to raise the level of your keyblade from +46 to +50. Additionally, with the Mog of Glory event going on now, you can also raise the level of that keyblade.
Finally, there is an item UP campaign, which increases the number of items picked up by one.
 
- EXP:
 
We are in a time of double experience. This means you will receive double the amount of experience. The best AP/EXP ratio is the Fat Bandit, with a 10/770.
Additionally, the level cap has been increased to 400. The amount of experience needed to level up is the same as any 300 level.
 
Shop:
 
Items in the shop are on sale for very low prices. If you are a paying player, you should be very happy. Additionally, SE gave everyone 500 charge manny, so even if you don't pay, you can still participate.  
You can see the full list here.
 
ULTing:
 
We have a 100% wonderful rate. 
You may now rejoice.
Additionally, the Mog Trade will soon be selling ULT Assist and Attack Moogles.
Finally, the cost to combine cards and ULT will be reduced to 1/5th of the original cost.
 
Skills:
 
100% successful removal guaranteed.
Costs 1 munny.
Self-explanatory.
how do I get rid of my munny now???
 
Sooooo what do you think?

Sooooo what do you think?

I'm both sad (extrodinarily so), a little angry, and a bit dejected. I've spent a lot of time in this game, making friends, learning Japanese, having fun, and it's what made me join the forums. I would be lying if I said that Chi hasn't made an impact in my life, simply because it has. Fighting over little things with my party, like who's beating the first 20 RBs a day, made it that much more enjoyable.
 
I've definitely grown as a person, learning about Japanese culture (Mossy season? What's that? ) and developing my own skills in the language. I'm still not an expert, so I'd like to take a moment to thank those members of the KH13 Chi Team who work translating the cutscenes, dialogue, and missions. What you guys do is awesome. ありがとうございます。
 
I'd also like to have some shoutouts to the Chi members who I'm partied with:
- Team CutiePique. Thanks for being the best English team in Vulpeus. I'll see you guys in UX~
- RAKIさん: You may not speak English all that well, and I speak Japanese worse, but thanks for giving me a chance. 本当にありがとう。
- 諏訪さんとharu86さん:For giving me a home and a party to work with, I cannot thank you enough.
- きせきさん: Play FFIX. Continue to be a miracle in S-Rank. 
- Roxasさん: For being my new language buddy, and teaching me how to explain English. I hope to improve enough to be able to speak to you one day in "fluent" Japanese.
- Lul: For convincing me to make an alt. Playing on it is such a nice break from my main. Grats on that shiny Zexion SR+ dude.
- Kaoru: You were the only person in Team RAKIさん who spoke English. Thank you for all that you helped me with, or else I may not have decided to continue playing. I know you're dead on the forums, but I hope this message gets to you: "Thank you for speaking English." (I also apologize for the multiple times you had to get up at 2AM to get in on 2hr LUT)
 
We still have four months to go (including 3rd anniversary!!!) so the real goodbyes won't be for a while. If anything, our bonds will be strengthened after we part ways, as they often are.
Let's celebrate the time we have left~ Use ALL the potions and ethers!!

It's actually next week that we'll be getting story lol

http://kh13.com/forum/topic/88676-kh%CF%87-survey/
 
Looks pretty similar to the survey they gave out in Chi for the second anniversary. 

Some of the blue treasure chests give off 1k - also remember that raid bosses give off a LOT of points.

If you take a look at one of my previous posts, you'll see a guessed (based on the percentage of the characters used) alphabet. Try to start there, and see if there are any words that are in English (not just common words like "the" and "and" but also KH-centric words "darkness," "light," or "keyblade").
