FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[Niiro]

The comment is so broad and vague there's really nothing to get out of it other than "we dunno".

That said, even with whatever content they have planned for 2.0 I doubt they're going to throw out perfectly good* previous content they've already put the effort into making.

Spoiler: show

Yes, "the current reward only being available now" is broad an vague, lol

[Raldo]

1) Regarding instanced raids, they will basically remain as it is and they'll be carried over to 2.0.

2) Now with the primal battles, some plots are connected with the Seventh Umbral Era. I say that there is a good chance their appearance may change in 2.0. Some will remain the same, some won't.

3) So basically, the current game balance and the current reward will only be available now. Some of those items already exist.

As I read it, section 1 is about raids, section 2 is about primals, and section 3 is about both (though I can also see it being interpreted as part of #2), so yes, it can be taken as vague. I don't even know what he means by "Some of those items already exist." so I figure there's also some translation weirdness going on here.

[Drakath]

It means at the time that was stated we didn't have all the content there is now. If Ifrit was the only primal out at the time, then that was an example of "some of the items that already exist" that will "only be available now" as a "current reward". English can be such a difficult language!...

[Raldo]

Ahh, taking that into context it makes much more sense. Thanks!

[Robbinthehood]

As a 50WAR what's the best place to power level a 35ish character?

[Raldo]

Ixali Encampment SW of Glory used to be a good spot. Haven't checked it in a while, so I can't be sure, but I doubt it's changed. It's not great exp at 35, but you're getting up into those levels where it's difficult to powerlevel.

anyone know the condition to spawn the 5th far left chest in toto-rak? been trying to farm it for seals but never could figure out what the far left chest was. doing the south -> north -> north route and opening all chests atm but still no luck

[Gokulo]

You need to kill a certain number of monster in the dungeon. Don't know the exact number, but I always killed everything around the ??? + a couple of more monsters on the way and it popped.

[solracht]

Kill all the void flames (bombs) after the first magitek gate.

[Fievel]

Kill all the void flames (bombs) after the first magitek gate.

It's not all from what I can tell, just the 3 west of the gate. I generally just leave the north and south ones alone and still always get chest.

[Raldo]

I was told that you have to kill all the chigoes, but I've never farmed Toto-Rak, so I can't provide any evidence for/against that. I've heard a great many things about that chest, actually.

I've heard this as well but have never touched the chigoes and still get chest. I am starting to believe that it really is just kill x amount of mobs to get chest.

[Gokulo]

That's what I'm thinking. I never went after specific mobs, just killed whatever I felt like and got the chest after that. The first couple of runs where I did not try to kill more mobs would end with chest sometimes not showing up.

[Ratatapa]

So about the legacy program (since i got the icon next to my char) I can deactivate my account np till next patch or 2.0 without loosing it right?

[Gokulo]

Yeah, once you obtain Legacy status you can't lose it ^^;

[Karinastar]

For the 5th Toto-rak chest, you only have to kill the 2 Void Flames next to the "farthest" photocell. You don't need to touch any of the others, or any other mobs for that matter.

[Darte]

By "farthest", do you mean the one furthest to the east in the pink zone as shown by this map?

Hotlinking from neko won't work
Anyway we're talking about chests that spawn after killing a boss, it seems you're talking about the chests around the dungeon.

The second map on that link shows the bomb that needs to be killed. There are 2 of those bombs in the area and it's only one of them but you're better off killing both just to be sure.
