Off the Record is a Basic Mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It is a final test from Solan to get the Mechanical Field-Skill level 5. In the Definitive Edition, completing this mission unlocks the Mechanical Field-Skill itself. Part of the test is to correctly interpret the objectives, which are in the form of riddles. For this reason, the locations of the targets are not shown by the minimap, the segment map, nor the Follow Ball. The objectives differ between versions.
