Ok Krizz, I edited your map for Abys-LaThiene a little bit. My font seemed different, I was using Arial. I suck at using paint :(.
It is to be noted, that the glowy Ephemeral Clinoids wander around near each mob location. From my observations, there is only
ONE Ephemeral per mob location. Their repop time has to be either 5 mins or >5mins. Each one gives a bonus of about 100+ Cruor and makes you glow (lol) which I still don't understand.
Quests can be opened by talking to NPC's. It seems as of right now, the only reward is cruor.
However, if you complete quests, more quests will become available.
The past few runs of Abyssea that I've done have been duo'd with a NIN/WAR (me) and WHM/SMN (my wife). Each time we'd find something new. Now we are going to try to farm pop items for my LS to come in and kill the NM's. Hopefully there are some good drops to be found.
To any of you new Abysseans out there,
DON'T OPEN UP STRAY CHESTS. THEY ARE MIMICS AND WILL KILL YOU, THEN LAUGH AT YOU AND DESPAWN IN YOUR FACE. However, any chests that appear in such a manor of FoV chests, feel free to unlock them!
