Proficiency Exam 6 is among the most challenging missions of The Skell License in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, since it requires acquiring 15,000 of Revenue through Data Probes. While this is simpler to complete late in the JRPG, it can be confusing and tough when it appears around Chapter 6.
For those uncertain about progress in Proficiency Exam 6 in Xenoblade Chronicles X, this guide offers practical tips to improve Revenue through effective use of Data Probes. One essential strategy is to open the many treasure containers scattered across the map, as they often hold Research Probes that can significantly increase your Credits.

Battle Points (BP) are necessary for growing your skills in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, so here's how to farm them.
How To Get 15,000 Credits In Proficiency Exam 6 In Xenoblade Chronicles X
Ideally, upon beginning The Skell License in Xenoblade Chronicles X, players should have explored a great deal of the accessible map, especially Primordia and Noctilum. Even if each FN Site has been activated without a linked Probe, it will still yield some Credits and Miranium throughout the game, which helps boost overall gains and smooth the path toward finishing Proficiency Exam 6.
Another detail is the rating of each FN Site, since it changes the rewards earned when a specific Probe is installed. For this mission in The Skell License, it is useful to unlock as many with high Revenue as possible, and some of these appear west of Primordia and near its border with Noctilum.

This guide will help players with Foggy Dilemma, an affinity mission in Xenoblade Chronicles X connected to a Backup Request basic mission.
This setup represents one of several effective ways to reach the 15,000 Credits required to complete Proficiency Exam 6 and fulfill another key step toward piloting a mecha for the first time in the JRPG.
- Research Probe G1: Installed at FN Site 104 (A), FN Site 106 (E), and FN Site 103 (E). These three together boost gains by 30%.
- Research Probe G2: Install at FN Site 222 (D) and FN Site 220 (C).
- Research Probe G3: Install one at FN Site 216 (A).
- Booster Probe: Install at FN Site 221.
- Duplicator Probe: Install at FN Site 225.
This setup uses FN Sites with strong Revenue Rates to raise overall earnings, and also employs other Probes to enhance these outcomes. Depending on map exploration and how many sites are active, it is possible to surpass 15,000 Credits each time FrontierNav delivers results, which may take over 30 minutes.
If players place 3 Data Probes or more of the same type and level aligned, they get a boost to the resource yield percentage.
Again, exploration is critical for achieving these goals in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Thus, it helps to activate each FN Site, because even without an advanced Research Probe, it provides half its possible production. Finding new locations on the map also matters, since they might reveal Scenic Viewpoints that yield higher Credits when a Research Probe is installed there.
How To Get New Data Probes In Xenoblade Chronicles X
Advanced Data Probes in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition are scattered across the map or earned as mission rewards, so they cannot be bought in any other way. For those who want them, it is wise to open every treasure encountered, because they give extra Credits and can also include other resources.
For instance, a Research Probe G2 can appear in Noctilum, north of FN Site 205 in a Vehicle Wreckage. Players only need to move inland along the western edge until spotting a giant tree, then pass underneath it to find the treasure. The exact spot is slightly closer to a cliff.
