Pso'Xja Map Trouble

[Kriz]

So I've had this Pso'Xja key in my inventory for 15 forevers it seems, and I've tried unsuccessfully a dozen times to get the map for this place.

I even printed out the Vana'diel atlas and ran around as best I could to the marked places on the map looking for the chests. Now, it looks like it is possible to hit every spawn location without having to rezone or go out of your way. And with the printed map you can see where there are fake chests but no real ones.

From what I hear, you know you are good to go when you find an area with two chests next to each other. I was wondering if anyone had experience getting this map! I get so frustrated soloing those Mimics over and over everytime I go- and I know I'm the only one setting foot in that miserable place.

I'm really after this map, and the inventory +1 for using the key. Any help?

Go summoner and you don't have to kill the mimics and you can check them all lickity-split.

Do you have the green bracelet? You can only reach half the chest pop points without it.

edit: Also, I think you can use the golden salvage trick on the mimics

Yeah I've got both bracelets, and I hit all the marked points on the maps online (or at least, I think I do based on pos).

And what's the Golden Salvage trick? Something to do with SMN? May explain my not knowing it

[Sagacious Sundi]

I think maybe this?

Go up to the box and check it while getting the "You must move closer" message, if the cursor moves it is the real chest, if the cursor stays it's a fake chest.

yup, that. I got my map when I was farming for CCB polymers. It was next to a mimic.

[Kaylia]

The location where chest pop are different than mimic location, it's easy to tell which one is which when you know them. Just check ffxi atlas for chest location. There is only 1 room with 1 mimic/1chest, and you know it's not the right one unless there is 2 chest up


Also, can't you just trade the key to every chest? Or mimic pop if you trade to wrong one? I thought you could just try the key on every chest until you find the right one.


Offtopic, anyone has figured what's the point of this area:

There is no NM, no quest/mission, not enough mobs to xp on. The only reason to ever go there would be chip farming, but even then, there is better place

[Isildur]

I firmly believe SE isnt done with Pso'Xja yet...the place is way too extensive and i remember seeing alot of areas around there that look/feel quest related. Arent there 3 other doors at the bottom of Pso'Xja that you cant enter? The ones that are in the same area as the one you pass for that CoP cutscene.

[Horadrius]

Make sure you check the very bottom floor where the elevator stops. The chest can spawn down there even though there's no map for that floor.

Lv40 caps:
Teleport Maze/diablos BC (no empty/suspicious area)

Lv50 cap:
Went there for mission (no empty/suspicious area)

Lv60
Maze with 1 sided gate (no empty/suspicious area)

No cap:
Nu tower: promyvion/ughalepih pendant NM, nothing really left
Ranguemont tower: the gate is used for a jeuno quest, but and the place is good for farming chip/bst
NE tower: Nothing there but mobs

[Sagacious Sundi]

One thing to note: 4 of the towers have avatar gates representing a terrestrial avatar, and then there is Diabolos's tower:
NW Tower: No gate, unless you count the door to Vahzl (Used for mission)
N Tower: Bahamut's Gate (The tower is not needed to be entered ever, but outside is used occasionally; easy to get to solo to see for yourself)
NE Tower: Carbuncle's Gate (Used for mission)
Central Tower: Diabolos's/Shrouded Maw Tower (Used for missions and quests; Shrouded Maw is also easy to get to solo if you just want to watch CSs or whatever)
SW Tower: Phoenix's Broken Gate (Used for quest; I think the gate is easy to get to solo so long as you have defeated the gargoyles)
SE Tower: Fenrir's Gate (Used for mission; easy to get to solo to see for yourself)

So Bahamut's/N tower remains generally useless. Perhaps they planned for more Bahamut-related stuff? A Bahamut v3.0 with lesser wyrms also used? Perhaps we'll have to return to the Shrouded Maw/avatar gates/Vahzl gate/Parradamo Torr for the Phoenix quest if she is ever released? Maybe this is more of that "canceled CoP stuff" along with rumours that Ou'Hpat Obelisk and Lower Promyvion were originally going to be used for more storyline battles?

Each tower also has a section blocked by debris at the end near the teleporter/avatar gate except for the central/Diabolos tower. This could mean that the outer towers were connected and they didn't want us to do that, or perhaps it's a tactic used in case they ever wish to expand areas without causing plotholes or whatever.

[GSDragoon]

Just sub nin or whatever and solo they chests. They arn't that hard to a level 75...

[Jeryhn]

Also, changing the .DAT files for treasure chests/coffers using that one .DAT package should work (was originally design to change chest colors for Limbus). Actual chests should have the new colors, mimics should retain the old colors. I recall helping someone else with the map after I got mine using this method.

I have no idea if that treasure chest mod is still uploaded somewhere.
Try checking ffxidats.com

"canceled CoP stuff"

Again I curse the alla noobs for crying CoP was too hard.

Ou'phat and Lower promyvion were designed for Limbus no matter how you look at it, unless there was 1 story BC+ limbus. However, ebon panel and NE/NW tower in al'taieu are still unused.


I don't think (more like I hope) bahamut arc is completed. We are still missing 4 elemental wyrms after all

This works. If your using the distance plugin, its 5.5.

[Kriz]

Brilliant, thanks for the tips. I'll definitely try the distance trick, as well as give the chest DAT swap a go.

I normally skipped the chest at the bottom of the elevator, as that was out of the way, and always was just a Mimic. And that Mimic seemed to be harder than the rest of the Mimics.

I do solo the Mimics when I get them, but as 75WHM/BLM I do it with a staff (Kinkobo with Latent active) for MP return. But I get tired of doing that for hours on end cause I can't find the correct chest!

The chests which are mimics are always mimics. The real chest can pop next to a mimic, or even no where near a mimic, but any mimic will always be a mimic - a mimic won't turn into a real chest, ever.

The -real- chest at the bottom of the elevator is off to the left as you're looking at the mimic, behind/next to the teleporter platform which takes you out of pso'xja.

There's also a real chest pop next to the blue door. Where the blue door is, next to all of the pots, there's an open passageway into the elevator shaft space, and a real chest pop can be in there. That one eluded me for the longest time - no mimic pops anywhere near it.

I'm pretty sure I got my map there.
