FoV Findings

[Sylvrdragon]

Ahh, noted.

[isladar]

Did they say that the treasure chests are all the time now? Because I just did a FoV thingy in La Theine, and am now working my way to the Dunes, and had a mob "conceal a treasure chest", even though I'd completed the FoV mission.

[Callisto]

They randomly drop from mobs in those zones, can happen in normal XP party or whenever.

Add: rather, they aren't tied to FoV in anyway, chests are a separate dealy.

75s would use and abuse the living FUCK out of this system to the point there would be nothing left for low levels (again.) It's good 75s can't use this system, maybe down the road in other areas (as they explained) but it was designed for low levels..75s have tons of things they can do already..let low levels have something for once >.>

So far it goes till at least the mid ish40s (icelands)

yarly. I enjoyed killing stuff that had no competition. But maybe that's cuz nobody knew where the fucking book was in Sandy.

Also I fail at picking locks, and when I do it's always tin ore inside.

Well that's pretty fucking brilliant. I might actually get DNC to 37 before 2010 then.

Are Tabs zone-specific. Or do you gain tabs in zone A that you can then turn around and use in Zone B?

Was kind of amusing to see one drop from a Knight Crab @ KA. Also, my friend got one from Behe too lol.

Please enlighten me how 75s can abuse the system? There is nobody ever in zones like fucking Cape or heck even Ro'meave. Actually, fine, screw people like us who only have crappy none jobs like SMN BST PUP that nobody invites to merit. Let's check the people who are 66-74, what is this, a big pile of shit that says too bad that we can't log on and get some exp for a few minute because we don't have enough time to play?

FoV feels like undeveloped crap just like when WotG came out. They'll probably add more in the future but rushing stuff like this kind of sucks.

did page 5 option in xarc

got 1100 xp 1100 gil and 110 tabs

tabs stack zone to zone

and had a 3 person pt sync'd at 49, and we removed/applied sync many times due to aggro til we got a plvl to help out

only chests that ever dropped for us were the temp items >.>

1) Those zones aren't original zones, which would defeat one of the points of the whole FoV/Casket deal, which is to make people interested in using original zones again.

2) All of those pet jobs can likely solo as much if not more XP than they would get doing FoV anyways.

3) If you constantly don't have enough playtime to XP, you're probably better off playing console games.

Anyways, regarding the additional effects you buy with Tabs(Refresh/Regen etc), do they only last until you finish the Regime?

I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

Edit: I know you're not a man, but I don't want to ruin the quote. =(

reraise lasts 2 hours. Chest drop rates seem to get lower the higher level mob you start fighting/higher level you get. Level 1 i was getting chests left and right. Level 10 was getting chests every 15 mins or so depending on my kill speed. Chest drop rate MAY be based on fighting mobs the "correct" level for your character to be fighting to stop people mass farming lower level monsters.

I openned a few chests in w.ron and got mitts in one and potion in another.

[fishstix]

The chests where you have to get the combo, if you win, you get the real item, rather than temps

Been looking for the one in Saruta for 15 mins. Where be it?

EDIT: J-8 by the zone, nevermind.

Did Xarcabard page 5 with 4 people synced to 55. 1100 EXP, 1,100 Gil, 110 tabs. Got TP wing, Remedy, Eye Drops, Melon Juice other various meds from med chest. Got 1 item chest on the 2nd run and tried to use the clues to open it but we guessed wrong and it disappeared. Thief tools did work for finding clues.

Other random notes:
If you're too far away from the mob when it is killed you do not get the kill on your quest counter. Level syncing does not effect your progress, nor does missing a kill that others in your pt got (you can just kill another one for yours).

Seems to me the system is only really good for leveling lower level jobs when you can't get pts, each run takes about 30min to complete which is enough time to make twice that in campaign if you're close to 75 (and wing/emblem status). Not a bad alternative to seeking though. (I still don't know what rewards we get so that's just based on exp.)

[vehy]

just got a locked chest to drop, had a cobination lock on it

i went to get a pen and paper to figure out the combo and when i came back it wus gone.... not sure if it disappears after a short time or if some one opened it

[Degenxerate]

I did page 5 in Beaucidine Glaciar as a 46 THF

5x Gigas
4x Gob
2x Eye

990EXP
990Gil
99point

I called NPC Fellow as well as got Skill ups during the quest. Also Died, HP'd, Ran back, quest saved state. So as far as i know the only thing you CANT do is change jobs mid quest.

[Redness]

Did page 4, Saruta leveling an alt Lv9 WHM. Soloed in about 15 minutes, 315 exp/gil 31 tabs.

Good job SE, this is making my life a lot easier right now.
