Ok...I've opened 6 chests here in the past 3 hours...each one has either been "empty" or an "illusion" Did SE take items out of chests or something? x.x

Like night bear said. But

You can open the chest at any time. If you did not receive AF or a Map from the chest then you must wait 1 hour before opening another. All chest in between that you open will result in the message you are getting.

This is to prevent treasure farmers from spam opening chest while people are trying to get maps and AF.... but KRT.... who cares? no one goes there for treasure (free battle gloves gogo)

It's not once per day.

That's normal in KRT. Even if it's your first one in forever it just happens

To clarify the chest/coffer change. NOTHING changed as far as popping coffers for gil is concerned. SE made it so that if someone pops the chest/coffer for whatever reason "fake" ones appear that still allow those who are after quest/map items to obtain them. The repop time on "real" coffers is still the exact same as it was before. One hour.

Wrong. There are no 'fake' coffers/chests, per se. You will only get the 'illusion' notification if someone has opened the chest/coffer for items/gil (i.e. not quest/map/AF) in the past hour. If you get the 'illusion' notification, the coffer/chest will respawn in 5 minutes.

The 'illusion' notification has nothing to do with how long you've been logged on or how recently you've opened a chest/coffer, though I wouldn't be surprised if they put some kind of additional restriction on low-level characters and/or those on trial accounts.

I don't currently know if opening an illusion restarts that hour long timer, however. That would really suck if it did.

I don't think that opening an illusion coffer restarts the timer, I must have opened 6 in GC. I just kept popping them everytime I found one and it eventually turned into a real one.
