Nothing to do with the actual mimic or chests like I said before. I gave the answer to it in plain sight on my last post. But once you figure it out there is much more to it.
Either its emote related.... Or youre a troll. Heavily leaning toward troll.

Has nothing to do with abilities, spells, emotes or the actual mimic... you guys aren't even close. You will literally do a /facepalm when you figure it out. There is no lua involved, add on or windower... nothing. It can be done on vanilla and is not an exploit, glitch or anything of that nature. It is something already in the game every day that is right in front of you all of the time.
trade a stick of vanilla. we've found it bois!

i would be surprised if the mimic gets assigned to a chest when you enter the BCNM. i think its more likely the game does some RNG magic each time you click a chest, maybe based on how many chests are left.

I figured it out... what's in front of us all the time is the day/time and the direction... we gotta go back to using the crafting compass!

all days associeated with light element you need to click a chest at even times and odd times if the day is associated with dark element.
also keep in mind to only approach the chest from the direction associated with the current day. only exceptions are full and new moon, then everything is reversed.
it all makes sense now!

You laugh, but given some of the other stuff we've seen in this game, would any of us really be that shocked?

When you see people shouting to sell high ticket items, it's because they have an army of alts and spam it
Other people make this a supplemental source of income, by mass-buying large amounts of orbs and selling the proceeds. If you invest 300M into Mars orbs, that is 100 tries. Running the exact same pattern and stopping only when you see Loud Thud, you can expect to see a good amount of rare goodies (bodies, regal hands, epam ring, orph sash). If you sell just 3 of these at 100M ea, you will break even on your gamble hustle, Chances are, you'll get a ton more than just that depending on buyers/luck, so you may come out ahead in the long run.
But it is gambling in a sense, so you can also lose a bunch of money going about it this way.

from what ive heard the mimic thing has something to do with coming in at a fast speed flee or w/e and the boxes "light up" then they adjust to draw distance and load. i didnt put much testing into it because i dont like wasting orbs.

If you flee and hit the gold chest it’s about 30 seconds because it takes into account that cutscene. If you have seen sub 20 seconds they are pos warping to the chest or have beyond flee speed enabled.

from what ive heard the mimic thing has something to do with coming in at a fast speed flee or w/e and the boxes "light up" then they adjust to draw distance and load. i didnt put much testing into it because i dont like wasting orbs. caerda said it has nothing to do with jobs or abilities and is available in vanilla so at least one of you two is trolling. maybe both.
If you flee and hit the gold chest it’s about 30 seconds because it takes into account that cutscene. If you have seen sub 20 seconds they are pos warping to the chest or have beyond flee speed enabled. isn't there a addon that runs thru cutscenes quicker? could further reduce cleartime?

will this effect the use of windower?

FastCS will load the BC in about 4 seconds until you can move again. But you still can't make it up that hill faster than 15 seconds without some form of movement enhancement that is non-vanilla native.

i don't see why it would matter how quickly you get there, they would have to intentionally code something to change how the chest displays
i looked at the data packets filling in the chests info(0x0e and 0x67) and they are identical for every chest aside from position,index,id(obviously they need different positions indices and ids to show up the way they do).. so there is literally nothing client side that would differentiate them because the server isn't giving the client information that could be used to show them differently
tldr; the packets have spoken yall posting in a troll thread
Quote: Regarding an Item Duplication Exploit
Good day, adventurers. This is the Special Task Force (STF), the team charged with investigating and suppressing unethical conduct that negatively impacts players’ FINAL FANTASY XI experience.
Several days ago we confirmed that some players were using an external program to create duplicates of specific in-game items. We would first like to apologize for the concern that this has caused, as bits and pieces of this information were posted on unofficial fan sites and message boards.
This message is to inform you of the measures we have taken to address the exploit and the punishment disseminated to the culpable parties.
Background Information and How We Have Addressed the Exploit
On the night of November 12 (Japan time), we received a bug report stating that it was possible to receive an unlimited number of Beastmen’s Medals and Kindred’s Medals. We acted immediately to verify the report, and determined that it was, in fact, possible to duplicate the items in question. We consulted with producer Akihiko Matsui and temporarily removed the affected NPC as a provisional emergency measure.
The development team then undertook a detailed investigation and confirmed that the exploit did exist and pinpointed concrete methods for consistently reproducing said exploit. As part of the emergency maintenance on November 14 (Japan time), we implemented a server-side fix addressing the exploit and have confirmed that it is no longer possible to duplicate items in this manner.
Player Punishment for Abuse of the Exploit
While the development team worked to fix the underlying cause, the STF focused on investigating suspicious players. We have completed our investigation of all characters who interacted with the NPC in question from early last week until the NPC was temporarily removed, and discovered that 45 players used the aforementioned exploit. We terminated the accounts of those 45 players on November 13 (Japan time).
We take the integrity of the game very seriously, and are widening the scope of the investigation to determine if any players used this exploit before the period in question, and whether or not it was possible for similar exploits to be used on other NPCs or items. If we discover any related conduct, those players will be punished in the same manner.
As we have communicated to players since the game’s inception, the use of external programs in FINAL FANTASY XI violates the Terms of Use, and we will take all necessary measures against players who do so, up to and including account termination. We would like to take this opportunity to again warn you against using such programs, as doing so will put your account in jeopardy.
If you witness any suspicious activity in-game or read information on how to perform such activities on external sources, do not try them yourself or distribute the information to others, and instead report them to the STF immediately.
We will continue to remain ever vigilant against suspicious activity in FINAL FANTASY XI and ask for your continued support in ensuring a level playing field for all players.
