Walkthrough

  • The goals of this expedition are to collect "elaborate parts." Elaborate parts can be obtained in several ways and their accumulation is noted in the chat log for the entire party:
    • Successfully opening a Capacious Coffer (guaranteed)
    • Failing to open a Capacious Coffer, then defeating the Piceous Mimic (guaranteed)
    • Defeating other enemies in the area (not guaranteed, ~50%)
  • 20 Capacious Coffers are spread throughout the area (including the south tunnels) with the majority of them in the open northwest section. Each coffer functions similar to a gold crate in Abyssea and allows 3 or 4 guesses to its combination (each guess will tell you whether the correct number is higher or lower and give one additional hint about the number).
  • In order to complete goal 3, the group should focus mainly on opening all Capacious Coffers and/or defeating spawned Piceous Mimics to obtain the 20 guaranteed parts. The remaining five will need to be obtained from enemies.
  • Wicked Weapons (large center room) and Clay Kraters (small southwest room) respawn on a 5 minute timer. Because of the respawn timer and the random nature of obtaining parts from these monsters, it may be wise to defeat these monsters early in the expedition to allow for respawns if necessary.
