Light Problem

I seem to be having a problem with my lights, everyone but me would be capped but even after 90 mins of trying to get lights for just me, my blue boxes are extremely random. sometimes i will get ISL but most of the time it is just crap.

I just killed 3 Farfadets and got 1 faint soothing light, one intense and one 200 cruor box.... everyone else is getting capped azure but me.

I checked the other thread and it says emerald abyssite of furtherance but everyone else here has it... anyone else experiencing the same problem?

We have the same problem, but generally in abyssea - attohwa.
After ~15+ ephemeral murex azure'd, we still get T3 chests.
And yeah, we do posses all "enhancing light" abyssites, so it obviously aint the problem.
Also yup, we sometime get capped chest, like every 3 or 4 chests, weird <_<

this is becoming a problem for lowmanning...i dont know what to do at this point.

Indeed, ending up taking 60mins for a TE (only in attohwa at least) and since we're only 6~...

I notice this alot in attohwa too >_<
Used to take like 3 murexes to cap Azure, now you gotta do 6-10 of them to cap >_>
Ninjanerf?

Its only me, everyone else in my group is capped.

Im in the plateau

Well with scars areas it will take more now since no one is doing bastion anymore so we lose those buffs to out lights and stats (easyest to see in hp, im getting 3-500less of it in those zones then i used to)

i just got a princely box followed by a strong soothing....my ruby doesnt seem to reset though >:(

two days since ive experianced this

Aint hp martello related?
And also, bastion affect lights? >.>

Im in vision zone....

Did'nt really think about those buffs having an effect on lights <_>
But OPs problem is wierd for sure =/

I'm pritty sure if you talk to the npc about the martello cores he will tell you one of them effects lights...

As for the op have you tryed reporting it to a GM? Getting a random box down at the bottom of the range happens once in a while but if it's always happening might be worth mentioning to them.

2 hours later and im still getting 1000 exp boxes...mixed in with 200 cruor...

Abyssea seem *** up, lately.
We've had some really weird problems in abyssea, in all three zones (vision scar heroes).
Like mobs that stay passive when you voke/attack them, chests that doesnt pop when you kill a mob, or pop far away from the dead body...
And that famous light problem.
Weirder thing we had was with ironclad pulverizer, we were 5manning it, i was straight tanking.
He used that ballistic kick move (that nakid you and encumbre you).
It wear off ~2mins later, then you can use your gear again, but with me...it dint.
The lil icon disapeared, got the message "Darkultima is no longer encumbered" but i still couldnt equip my stuff <_<
Ended up killing it with fists and magic, lol.
Someone broke abyssea <_<

Can't say I have experienced lights problems in any other zone but Attohwa - which supposedly has been broken from day 1?

By that i mean, you get the message that a chest poped, but you cant target it D:

This happened to a friend of mine too. We were farming up a rani pop and lowmanning with nin, rdm, pup and whm and even after it had worn he still couldnt equip his stuff for a good 5 min. At first I thought he was joking around. But after seeing him nuke naked for those 5 min and reading this I think thats broken lol

Yeah, I've been having a lot of chests drop that don't load, if I run 50' away then come back they usually load. I've also had a few that I can see but not target.

Worst of all is my aoe farming seems to be broken, sometimes I'll get regular drop rates, other times even with 20 mobs I'll get like, 1 chest drop.

Oh, and yes, I've noticed random low tier blue chests after azure is capped, and ephemerals in scars areas no longer capping azure in three kills.

It lasted till i exited, personally x_X

well my lights fixed itself i guess? i dont really know what is going on i seem to be capped azure now

Correct me if im wrong but it all comes down to this in my opinion.

The light of the Ephemereal is connected on how you read them. "EP" ones will give a weaker light than "T".
Since last update SE implemented a change that Tougher version of the mob will despawn and reset over time to their "EP" version if noone fights them.

Edit: Happened to me more than once that Ephemereal just depop while i was midcast, so now i just pull them with stun.
