Learning Elemental Wave

I learned it with novice Chain Cylinder, so it seems ranks are not a requirement.

However, I spent about 2-3 hours with only a Cylinder equipped and did not learn Elemental Wave. Afterward, after equipping a Guard Cylinder along with a Cylinder, I learned it after about another hour or so. Maybe having a Guard Cylinder equipped (with/without a Cylinder?) is a requirement? Has anyone learned Elemental Wave without a Guard Cylinder equipped?

=-= I've been at it for DAYS with a guard cylinder. As far as I'm concerned, you'll learn it with or without a Guard Cylinder, but everyone I know "cheated" with the Ace card e-e;

Botting ftw.

I'll go for another run on another character next time to see if GC is a requirement.

That would be a good idea. Leave it on for like...6 hours and come back, unless you're gonna be sitting there for 6 hours doing something else lol.

Maybe I'll do it on 6 characters at once so I only have to wait a hour. :D

Just to give my $0.02, it is fairly rare. As a full-time alchemist I went from CC rank 2 to CC Master, and then about 5 more hours of active combat, before I happened to get it (and this was as a full-time alchemist, chaining mostly WC, Flamer, and Hydra). That said, it isn't ridiculously far off for someone that's training alchemy anyway and not planning to use an Ace card.

What about learning it with just a guard cylinder and no normal cylinder?

Probably the same result since Chain activates just simply loading a skill that's compatible...albeit that it's only 2 skills that are compatible now.

Reading comprehension.

Left two alts online overnight, with either a cylinder or guard cylinder equipped. Both of them ended up learning EW, so it appears the only requirement is loading a skill with Chain Cylinder.

How's you pull that off?

Just to make sure. Did you get the skill by charging an alchemy skill with chain cylinder, or did you attack ana enemy too?
