Proto-Ultima Chests

[Nekio]

Quick question:

Do the chests at the beginning disappear when Ultima is killed? If not, is there anything really stopping you from popping them before exiting?

[Kainstryder]

They disappear once you engage him. If your group's good and you trust them, you can handle a few chests before Ultima due to the hefty 1 hour time limit. Just note that all you get is coins, no chips/AF/synthesis materials.

You fight an Enhanced mob, they drop the coins.

Thanks for the quick reply. Not worth it in my mind >.> Never know when shit will hit the fan and you'll need those extra two minutes you wasted farming an extar coin per member.

I'm pretty sure we do all the chests, considering you can push Ultima down in like 15 minutes.

We've never gotten t1 or t2 temenos chips from chests or synth materials that i know of, but recently we got 2 upgrade items from a chest. Probably first time i've ever seen that happen, and i've been doing limbus since it came out.

Wrong. There is item only chests that drop AFs and Coins. I can't remember if it does Chips as well, but considering Omegas pods give chips, i'd guess they give chips as well.

You can't get chips from a Proto-Ultima run. If you can then it must be super ultra megazord rare as I've never seen it in all my time doing 2x Limbus a week since it came out.

Do the spawned mobs have alliance hate?

Last time we did Ultima we were short handed so skipped the chests (beat with lots of time to spare). But I started thinking; if the alliance gets down near Ultima and a thief PD/Flee and pop lots of the chests then sacs somewhere safe. Would the alliance be safe? Would the poped mobs despawn?

iirc, most mobs in limbus will hunt down any living members anywhere they can reach and kill them if they have hate on anyone. if se just built it as alliance hate though, and not everyone w/ the bc icon, you could just have them drop party or log everyone out till the sac is done. idk if they will depop after though.

There's almost 0 reason not to go for one of the first set of chests you encounter, as it will just be something sad like a mandragora or bird, or worst case a jelly (and I hope you have BLMs along).

The next set, if you pick the wrong one, will pop one of the beastman kings. Also not very difficult, although the Yagudo has Astral Flow, so you need to use the ramps to deal with it. Fortunately, there are lots of ramps!

The third set is a prime avatar, which you treat the same as the Yagudo.

We go in with a lot of people because we like to be safe, but the chests have never taken us more than 10 minutes to clear all 3, even with guessing incorrectly and popping all 3 mobs. I don't know...I enjoy trying to pick the right chest and maybe getting an AF material someone wanted. We certainly have more than enough time to spare for it.

Well we usually don't have optimally organized full-alliances, so it's hard to justify the risk of a couple unlucky CBs dragging out the fight to where it's even remotely close, all for the sake of a few A. Beastcoins and an AF upgrade no one even needs.

If they dropped chips, on the other hand...
