Just a quick and simple blog entry on my FFXI adventures. Wyred has gone lazy. [X|]
The other day I was skilling up and helping 2 friends get their Black Mage Testimony and Monk Testimony at Castle Oztroja. These Testimonies are required for them to fight Maat, and only by winning the fight against Maat can they proceed to level up above level 70.
It didn’t take too long before the 2 testimonies drop. Then we decided to stay longer for my coffer key. And it didn’t take too long before the key dropped and with my Red Mage friend, Puipuipui, we went in search for the Treasure Coffer for my Artifact body armor, Chaos Cuirass. Just 3 minutes into searching for it, we found it. [XD]
Last night, I decided to camp for my gauntlets coffer at Eldieme Necropolis. Hearing that the coffer re-spawns in 30 minutes and that it’s a highly sought after coffer, I decided to camp at a spot where it’s safe and where it’s a spot where the coffer might spawn.
Subbed Ninja for Tonko:Ichi, bought 3 stacks of Silent Oils at 7500gil each [X(], I set off and after an hour of waiting, I gave up. I needed help to access the other coffer-spawning areas and it takes at least another person. So I checked the linkshell and asked Holykau for help. A level 75 WHM who probably has Teleport-Vahzl should I ever need it. There’s one coffer spot which requires access from Beaucedine Glacier by the way.
While waiting for Holykau to meet me at Eldieme, I ran out to explore the nearest coffer spots and I died because I forgot Invisibility (from Tonko:Ichi) wore off and I aggroed Azer. Bomb-type monster. Good thing I contacted Holykau for help because he has Raise 3 and I lost only 100+ exp.
We checked the basement level but no coffers, I wanted to check the North open area of Eldieme for coffer. So I got Holykau to pull the switch as I wait at the door. And there it was, the coffer sitting at the corner of the open space. Too excited to notice my Sneak was wearing, I opened the coffer and ran back aggroing Kas and Utukkus on the way. Needless to say, I died again and trapped in a tunnel unable for Holykau to give me Raise 3.
With no one to help trigger the switch, we gave up and I returned to Home Point, taking a loss of 2000 exp. Which is roughly equivalent to an hour of fighting in an EXP PT. [:(]
Nvermind that. I gathered other linkshell friends and we set off to Castle Zvahl Baileys to kill Dark Spark and finish off the gauntlets quest and acquire my Chaos Gauntlets.
Now I have my AF Helmet armor and AF leg armor left to a complete set.
