Speaking of Bakka in the earlier post I had a quick question that needs some clarification. I did a run in Konstadt yesterday for some key items and apparently there are rumors going around that Bakka drops a key items that gives -10 hrs for new stones. Nothing is up on the FFXIclopedia site. Has anyone ever gotten this key item or is it just a rumor?
Also does anyone know how to get the key item for holding 4 stones?
(haven't read much of this thread so if I was answered already I apologize :D)

As far as I know, nobody has confirmed how much the abyssite that reduces time to next stone actually reduces it by. I highly doubt it halves it.
Again, as far as I know, nobody has done it. People are still working up their fame levels in each zone to unlock the quests and check rewards.
Edit: Give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can find anything else aside from what I just posted.

Do pop NMs in Abyssea progressively get harder when you chain them also? A group of 12 of us chain popped the dragon fly NM and he seemed to get harder after every pop and also gave more xp. Was this just coincidence or can you chain them also?

Oh and Krizz, yes, you've answered all my questions so far. As much as they're things I want to know for myself, they're also asking questions on things that I think need answering for the sake of general information in the thread though :) Thanks for all the info in this thread.
Lol we had a guy like that in one of my lss. He'd even yell at us for getting magic aggro after he yelled at us to heal him after he ran into a room full of magic aggro after the brd pulled one out of the room.
Would also yell at us for not coming to help him kill a mob that didn't need to be killed after we left it slept...

Opo Opos are now up in La Theine on several (if not all) servers. Near the Jugner zone line.

Hey sorry about that Krizz... Someone broke into my opo-opo farm last night and were let loose everywhere. Since it's illegal to actually farm these creatures, I haven't been able to report this to the police... ><

Last two time we went in we focused on Azure til we hit tier then Pearlescent. It doesn't take that much Azure to cap out on that, usually 20ish kills and we'd hit top tier? Of course there would be occasional other Azure kills throughout or from chests but they didn't seem needed. Though when we had to replace a few people we recapped Azure because we weren't getting as many top tier chests from the new people. Only took about 10-20 magic kills to cap for them. (Might have been some from chests too.)

Last Night, we did Abyssea for up to 6 hours, but I left with 40 mins. We noticed we lacked alot of Azure when we had new people. WE tried to recap Azure near time is over, but more blue chests drop, more TE chests. Normally they are just random with 5 types: EXP, Cruor, Light (HP/MP recovered), Time Extension, and Temp. Items.
We made over 200k exp with about 60 cruors. It was great run.

Not sure if anyone one answered this allready
But that Key you can get from Npc for 500 cur
Does that open all types of chest or certin ones?

There are pre-spawned chests that aren't mimics. The brown/gold chests are the mimics. If you find a blue one randomly, you'll be able to open it.
However, I don't recommend using keys unless it's to unlock top tier chests that you're within one guess of failing.
last night we did a run, did kills with magic, and we never got anything above feeble azure light? any ideas? few posts above says should take 10-20 kills to reach cap but we never got up to 'faint'. what did we do wrong? did we not kill fast enough and lose the "chain"? any ideas why? if you need mob fighting, ally set up, that kind of stuff let me know. I don't get it.

Chest drops, their quality and colour is basically determined by two things: 1. The type of damage that inflicts the killshot (determines type) and 2. The amount of time the person who inflicted the killshot has been inside Abyssea (determines quality).
When you're in there for a long time, your chest drops get better and faster, but say after 3 hours you swap half of your alliance for new people.
You'll start to notice some chests may pop 1250 EXP whilst other pop 400 EXP. Why the inconsistency? It'll be because the new arrivals are landing the killshots. When you get new people try to ensure they aren't landing the final blows until they've been in Abyssea for an hour+.
Varistor, just going off stuff in this thread, it seems you never really actually get over that, but it's actually adding to an invisible total. So every time you kill a mob and get "feeble azure light", it adds +1 to your azure light total. If you do happen to get "faint azure light", then it's +2.

Edit:
Azure = magic kills
Ruby = WS kills
Pearlescent = Melee killsSo Golden, Silver, Ebon and Amber lights all come from chests? What colour? In fact, what are the differences with all the chests?

The "Lights" drop from red colored chests.
The difference in the color of the chests is what is inside them.
The blue chests drop either exp, cruor, temporary items, time extensions, or are "restoration boxes" think limbus but single target.
And the golden colored chests drop a variety of items, from new scrolls to synthesis materials, to augmented equipment.

Red = lights
Gold = temp items, augmented items, key items, other random items
Is that what you were asking?

In my experience I have never had temp. items in golden chests, but they can drop in blue chests (like blue treasure caskets from fov) at lower tiers, and at higher tiers drop to everyone in alliance.

thank you guys for the info. one more Q. last night i opened a chest that gave a golden light which from posts above raises exp cap, does that reset the azure light to where we start over or is just a one time deal and does not affect our actual light?

No, getting one light will not reduce the tiers of other lights.
Golden lights (this is theory as its kinda rough to test) raise the exp your getting by roughly 10.
