AF Hunting
I was in a mad rush to beat the clock, I had to score myself the first three pieces of Red Mage AF before Limbus. I was in luck with the Crawlers' Nest chest. Upon getting to the chest spawns one was up, and the first Rumble Crawler dropped a Key. Next for Eldieme Necropolis coffer. This wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be seeing that it was on the top floor next to one of the gate triggers. My mission to get all 3 pieces (2 technically due to a wait til Japanese Midnight to pick up the item) before Limbus was on track. And then Garlaige Citadel coffer...
After going into the past and getting the Cait Sith cut-scene, and then after having to go back for some reason only to return to the Fellow Adventurer cut-scene, I was finally behind the Banishing Gate #3. An hour later no Coffers had popped (even with 2 characters of respective job/level looking like the were hunting as well), so I unenthusiastically left.
I decided to do something different at Limbus, SAM/DRK. To be honest, while it was fun seeing a 30% difference in damage over the other Samurai there, it was far too much of an MP sponge (both with Soul Eater, and pulling/keeping hate). It may have worked better if we had more than a NIN tank, no bad words about the tank, it's just that with the firepower he had, there was no chance of him keeping hate for more than 30 seconds. In the end, I didn't die (somehow).
Today during lunch I ran out again to try and get the damn coffer. After reading up I found out that you can now get up behind the Banishing Gate #2 without 4 people by talking to an NPC in the past. After doing that I grabbed a flower and headed back out to that dreaded Citadel. Five minutes later and the third piece of AF was mine. Only body and head left, but being unable to equip those yet, I'll look at them this weekend.
