    with the forbidden keys... the 3 times i got the mimic, it was from me trading the key to the free-spawned chests and i automatically got aggro. i'm not sure if theres a way to tell.

    i assumed that the key would turn mimics into real chests, but i guess i was wrong. i used the key up opening a blue chest (that spawned from a mob). which if this is true, the key seems pointless and only saves like 20 seconds

    i think mimics are only gold btw, i've yet to free a free-spawned chest that was gold that wasn't a mimic.

    Out of Curiosity, I've been trying to keep up with all the abyssea threads, but I might have missed it, has that new mob with unique model that looks like a robotic-clown/dancing machine been found? I can't even remember it's name, but it was the 3rd mob with Unique model added to Abyssea aside from Clionids/Limules.

    Edit: Pergo, Someone aggroed a pre-poped Blue Chest (that turned out to be a Mimic) in La Thiene the 1st time we went in, and there's been 2 occasions where I see the same Blue chest in Tahrongi, between the Mini-sandworms and Manticores. I haven't checked if they are mimic, don't wanna find out either >.>

    It hasn't been found yet. I would guess it's going to be the highest tier spawn pop target in Tahrongi.

    so upon entering for the first time, you get 30 mins and thats it? gotta wait 20 hrs for another shot at 30 mins and 40 hours for 60 etc?

    Pretty sure as soon as you download the expansion he starts gathering stones, you should be able to get the initial cutscene, enter a maw, get visitant and warp out, and then get 3 more stones if you waited a few days to enter. Not 100% sure though.

    I think - but I'm not sure - you can enter... leave, go get more stones, then re-enter 60 minutes after you left...

    I might be wrong though.

    Whenever you trade in stones it adds 30 mins x stones to your time bank, which caps at 120 minutes.

    If you exit THROUGH the maw with more than 5 mins in your bank, you can immeaditly re enter.

    If you enter abyssea and then exit again without getting visitant status, your bank of time gets wiped clean.

    If you exit any way other than maw, warp, tele, bloodwarp, etc, you are hit with a 1 hour wait before you can reenter abyssea.

    This is false. You are only hit with the 1hr wait if you exit Abyssea in any fashion with less than 5 mins remaining.

    You can warp out at 6 mins remaining and reenter but if u have 4 mins remaining it'll lock u out for 1 hr. That 4 mins is still on ur timer but ur locked out due to the 5min restriction rule.

    lets say you were locked out. can you re-enter without any stones? or you always need em to go? just kinda silly to pay $9.99 for a 30 minute run that i cant play with for another 20 hours lol

    I think it was stated in one of these abyssea threads that you can't enter without any stones, even if you have leftover visitant.

    The other mini-expansions were like 5 hours of content including fetch quests at best. Stop crying
    Edit: Abyssea is obviously a method to squeeze out a little more money out of almost everyone who plays FFXI but I find it damn entertaining compared to almost anything released in the past few years.

    I'm really curious to see if a manaburn alliance of mages could wipe out enemies fast enough to kick in the bonus points faster than what seems like the original party had experienced. Plus it would seem like they would have consistent azure light if for some reason that had any effect on anything.

    Based on a reading of the thread, it seems as if the primary modifiers for number of chests and type of chests (higher value exp/cruor/time extensions) is length of time in zone (killing same style mob) and speed of kills. Agree or disagree?

    Others have observed that experience and cruor slowly increase by every kill. So I don't think it is. I think being low on time is the result of investing so long in "chaining" the mobs until the points get that high.

    Regarding Abyssea Maps and Missing Monsters

    Are the Abyssea maps official Abyssea maps bought with cruor? or they are the present zones layout with legend-customized spots. If they aren't the official abyssea lay out, could it be that they have small modified spots that are out of map (Vunkerl Inlet, Bhaflau Thickets comes to mind) where you can go thru bushy paths that would seem not traspassable and the missing mobs families are just chilling there? If they are official-abyssea maps, then disregard this bunch of BS I just spit :D

    When I did an alliance cruor farming run, I noticed that when we occasionally ran low of mobs nearby, further ones pulled in were giving far less exp/cruor, and I THINK when their chests dropped, they were weaker bonuses than the ones that dropped from bugards we were killing repeatedly whenever they popped. Perhaps when you do this farming, it's of vital importance to kill the same ones over and over again as soon as they are up, and not just mobs period?


    ::Edit:: Also, I noticed that forbidden key on otherwiki is listed as purchasable for 300 cruor and is not stackable, but it actually stacks to 12 and costs 500 cruor to purchase, not 300. Anyone able to fix? I'm clueless and afraid of messing something up.

    If Joachim has a limit on the number of stones he holds for you, it's over 9. I did an XP run with 3 stones, got 3 more from him and used them to run around and register Confluxes. Stopped with ~30 minutes left on Visitant and got 3 more stones to increase my time to 120, then went back to Jeuno and he gave me another 3 stones. Seems easy to be able to bank 3+ hours of time (not including time extensions) if you only want to do Abyssea once a week or so.

    ftfy; hope it's right or ima get PM'd lol

    edit: in case it actually does happen, could it possibly be that individual items change in cruor price once you finish quests and/or other things?

    Perhaps thats the case, but if you need screenshots for proof, I happened to have the foresight to take them:

    Pardon any crappy gear you see, as Psi just hit 75 last night and hasn't had time to build up any good gear yet. <,<
