Sortie Release - Info

Just something minor, but for melee jobs solo, you can "cast" trust magic on the A teleport to get the chest as well. :)

Useful for jobs without any self enhancing magic!

Good luck everyone :)

Killed the porxie today doing a light skillchain and MB Dis II and got the red coffee. DID NOT do B chest objectives at all at this point. The mind boggles.

Side note: I sure hope they introduce a way of exchanging 3 earrings for one you want otherwise my inventory is getting wrecked.

I was able to replicate Shupyrg's result (page 29) twice using 2 mules on PUP, each soloing Sortie separately. Both mules were making skillchains with the automaton (Dragon Kick > Armor Shatterer) and letting Shantotto magic burst.

mule1: PUP, Valaineral, Yoran-Oran, Shantotto, Koru-Moru, Monberaux
mule2: PUP, Valaineral, Yoran-Oran, Shantotto, Joachim, Cornelia

Both PUPs received the #A shard on the 8th acuex, and I didn't have enough time to try for the #A metal.

A few nights ago I was able to get the #A shard objective from an acuex in the south. After pulling the acuex and meleeing it for TP, I shoved a 96k Leaden Salute down its throat, and had only time to cast only two spells (Fire IV for 6624, Fire V for 7401) before Valaineral finished it off with a melee+enspell attack.

Tonight, I tried to use WarlikePatrick's Fireball to see if that would trigger the chest objectives, but I was not able to get to get either after clearing all 12 acuex in the north (including killing 5 at once). Fireball hit for 10k every time with this alt's decent pet MAB gear. Unfortunately I timed out before I was able to finish the entire south area pull with Unleash'd Fireball (~15k).

Also, I killed the Cachaemic Bhoot without aggroing any #C mobs, pulling the Bhoot with Provoke while it was just inside the Corse room. During the fight I magic burst 9 times (Fireball x3, Holy x3, Holy II x2, Dia x1) while making Fusion > Light > Light skillchains. The Bhoot died to damage from a Light skillchain (no opportunity to magic burst after) and DID NOT drop its red chest.

The Biune Porxie did not drop its chest, but I had killed no #B mobs and so this was not unexpected.

Myself and a friend (shoutout Tropics) went in duo yesterday, both on BLU, and once again confirmed the blue-magic-only kills for shard and metal A. Shard on kill 3, metal on kill 6. We did this all in one pull essentially and both did not engage and rotated the usual blu spells (spectral, Tenebral, anvil, etc.)

This is the 5th+ time I’ve gotten shard and metal A but using blue magic only.


The porxie chest really makes no sense to me. I’ve heard about 20 different methods at this point and none make sense.

And yes they will introduce the 3:1 earring thing……in 2027.

Unless the use of savage blade/phys dmg of a certain amount is the condition then I'm leaning towards maybe needing to have killed NM in A &/or B to get C red? Or some other objective you got was the trigger. Myself and others have done Bhoot as 1st mob no aggro and not gotten red chest so the non aggro seems a red herring...

Strange... Kill speed could be a thing and being solo maybe i'm too slow? Does seem a bit unfriendly to solo peeps if that's it. Tempted to go try replicate on sam but I wanna get cor unlock today :(

We have kind of danced around it but no one has found a way that is 100% capable of making any of the red boxes drop.

It might just be a 50% chance or something, no? Why do we think there is a secret way to force it?

Dammit now you've given me a complex. Now i'll be wondering if it was something I did or just luck :(

been pretty consistent with my group. every time we get Casket B1 we get the red coffer every time. The times we don't get Casket B1 we don't get the coffer.

The only trouble is the Casket B1 has been inconsistent. I literally do the same thing every run and while the rest go do A3/4 I go solo fire elementals with Leaden. They die with 3 leadens and nothing else. I had 1 run where it dropped after 3 kills, 1 where it dropped after 4. another run where it dropped after 5 and one run where it didn't drop at all.

I don't change what I do but still get different results.

One variable could be what the fire elemental is doing when you kill / fight it. Maybe it is procced during spell casting?

I analyzed the damage logs of the Bhoot kills as well as Eijin's video. The common theme across the different red coffer procs is doing a killshot of over 30k damage. Lacking more data to disprove it. Killshot damage type seems to be irrelevant.

I know someone reported doing 22k damage throughout, but if they killed it with a skillchain it could have gone above that.

The number of WS and skillchains all vary and I cannot find a link.

KujahFoxfires successful kill time was 27 seconds, the fail was 56 seconds. However, others have reported successes with longer kill times.

Received a Blue Casket in C today accidentally exploding a skeleton in 5 seconds with shijin > victory light kill - no magic burst.

Perhaps speed / damage done trigger?

That Japanese blog says that the Bhoot only spawns upon opening a gate to C or someone warping to C via a device, and that you get the chest if you kill it within 2.5 minutes of it popping.

It also says that using the device to respawn the C mobs respawns the NM as well and gives you another 2.5 minutes to kill it.

That makes sense. Checked Eijin's video and it's about 2:09 minutes from entering to death.

Would be hard to do solo on a job like cor. :(
Maybe I should actually eat food and prebuff.

Maybe use Ingrid to cast Banish 3 on it, too.

We think it's fast kill too and we doing that for several days now and it works I guess (or something else works while we try to kill asap lol).

BLU using only support trusts.
3 acuex doing melee/ws/magic always killing blow with Subduction. No chest.

3 more acuex using melee/magic but no WS and always killing blow with Subduction. No chest (aside from the casket on 5 kills)

Was royally confused and already wasted too much time, so headed elsewhere and accidentally aggroed #7. Used melee, savage blade twice and killed it with subduction and got Chest #A3 (shard).

I have absolutely no idea what the condition is lmao. My subductions were only ever 2-5k damage.

My friend who did him solo accidently healed him and had setting the stage one shot him also.

You need claim on them to count for the chest. So you had 1 from the first pull, 1 from the second pull and when you got the 7th that was kill number 3.

Anybody knows if the Avatar's magical BPs count as "magic damage" for the related objectives in zone A?
Likewise the physical or Hybrid BP should NOT count as WS... right?

I just did a 4/4 red chest run.

A - Just killed it. Red Chest.
D - Found NM, killed. Found 3 of it's friends and killed them too. Red Chest on 3rd kill.
B - cdc > Leaden kills on eles (wind and thunder eles, but we've done the same on fire) to make Blue chest pop. Found Porxie, killed. Red Chest.
C - Walked into C, took forever to find the Bhoot. Killed it for Gold chest but no Red chest. Respawned the zone, found it fast and killed it. Red Chest.

We didn't kill any real bosses until after. All NMs were killed with Leaden > Seraph Blade (Water V) > Leaden (Stone V) or some variation on it.

Well looks like B & C NM obj is nailed :)

Curious about B Blue Casket. Does it matter what element WS is used to kill? Burning blade / Seraph Blade / Trueflight all were unsuccessful regardless of how high the damage was. This was against Earth / Dark elementals. Kill shots / multiple WS per mob, none of them worked. Nice that we can replicate the casket dropping with Leaden but wonder what the specific mechanic requirement is for a better understanding.

Great info. When you say respawned the zone - do the NM’s repop if you leave and come back? I did not know that
