Can still spend millions on it potentially getting light resist on a hades earring, so like evolith theres still "some" minute use for it

then run all over Ruaun to find the goddamn Field Parchment (which is nestled in a corner somewhere inconspicuous).

In case anyone is reading this in the future, we have a wiki.

You can convert copper vouchers for valor points (tabs) by the way.

When I was doing Hades earring +1 the augment resist values ranged from +11 to +15, sometimes two element types but most times just one. Many times, various + or - to main stats. Interesting augments seen so far are MEVA +2, EVA +5, RACC +1, Enmity +1, RATTK +3.

Yep. Read the wiki and still couldn't find it for several minutes (because those locations just show the map square the parchment is in, without any context (near a wall, by bush etc)).

Today in sortie for Casket B1, I was able to replicate the issue.

Step 1: clear all of A normal objectives on foot (everything but boss)

Step 2: proceed to B on foot, passing through D fomor rooms shortcut, so I qualify for Chest B5

Step 3: go straight to bitzer+device and get Chest B2+B5, click both device and bitzer

Step 4: teleport down to basement F and do empy lockstyle clear, and come back to B

Step 5: step out and kill the entire fire elemental room. Most of my kills were sub 15s. I acquired Chest B3, but Casket B1 never spawned.

Step 6: Now for the test, leave back to bitzer b and teleport to d

Step 7: toss my wing for Chest d2

Step 8: warp back to b, respawn wing

Step 9: go back out and kill elementals

Step 10: kill 1 elemental slow, then 1 sub 15s, and Casket b1 spawned

This is making me think so.ething related to teleporting is necessary for Casket b1

I think it makes sense as a clever trick since the same wing has Chest b5, which aasks you to not teleport.

I expect anyone teleporting counts, so if people split up the condition always is satisfied so ppl don't notice

You might wanna look at the ruaun gardens map a little more closely.

Looks like the AA islands / entrance island.

Try to guess where the books are, using these context clues.

FoV: Elite Training
KI: Elite Training: Chapter 7 (H-9)

Its definitely AA islands / entrance island. Its the only constant amongst all 6 highlighted squares. I dont even know what you're talking about.

Idk, they could be behind any rock or bush.

I am not sure I ever said I had trouble finding the books, did I? Let me go back and check. I'm pretty sure I said "Field Parchment", which is not a "book", its a spot on the map you use to pop the NM for Elite Training.


Oh. So when I go to the wiki, it says this:


There is no spot on the Ru'Aun Gardens map at H-9 where the Field Parchment (NOT the Field Manual) is located. Do you know the difference? Have you done this content at all?

So yeah. Thanks for confirming you don't know wtf you're talking about. I figured as much, but tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, despite your pretentious attitude. Won't make that mistake again.

Pictures, since you enjoy being so helpful

Field MANUAL (a book)


Field PARCHMENT (not a book)

Spawned at North-West Corner of (H-9) in Ru'Aun Gardens with Chapter 7 Elite Training

Sorry, I was out with some friends. Happy to continue to help a fellow adventurer though. I'd start with this page if I were you.

In relevant part:
If you are in the NW corner of H9 and can't find it, try turning your monitor on

I appreciate the screenshot, but I don't typically get lost in a quarter of a single square of ffxi maps, so i don't really need it.

i swear I saw an addon that would make ??? and similar spots highly visible without targeting them but maybe it was a only a mock up, figure someone would have done it long ago if it were easy, like the glow from HELM spots

Or are you just continuing to troll like a child instead of just admitting you had absolutely no idea what you were talking about? Classic clown show from Maletaru

Can someone clarify how access to Sheol Gaol NMs works.

Let's assume a person has 0 clears. If this person gets the V20 clear for all NMs in Atonements 1&2 in a group with someone else that has access can this person now, as leader, enter Atonement 3 NMs at V20 or can they still only enter Atonement 3 starting at V0 until at least clearing V15 on each?

The first one.

On Gaol, if they also clear V20 T3, they can enter V20 T3. If they never cleared T3, they won't be able to spawn more than T3 V0. But can spawn V20 T1-T2.
