So what do people think of the Fields of valor and treasure casket additions to the game, or any of the other changes made?

Unless the rewards of fields of valor are somewhat decent i suspect it will be a minigame mostly used by lower level, newer players though. Will have to wait and see.

"Players can now warp to Aht Urhgan Whitegate from Jeuno by talking to the Salaheem's Sentinels representative deployed there." (ffxiclopedia) YES at last!

Also, dunno if the details are available yet, but what kind of items do people reckon will be in the locked treasure caskets?

After logging in, the first mob I killed dropped an unlocked chest in w sara. I had the choice of either a temp silent oil or a temp echo drop. :)

The coffer thing is actually really great. I remember not long ago doing my Brd af coffer in Castle O and getting beat over and over by some *** Thf to coffer pops. This delay of receiving gil or items again and fast pop coffers after af/key items is a real help.

Another casket -- Locked

Said 5 chances to guess.

Hints
1) The first digit is either 2 3 or 4
2) One of the two digits is a 2
3) The second digit is even
3) The combination is greater then 15 but less then 35

There is a timer on the chest (I didn't know :O)

The answer was 22 - The answer was given as the chest despawned ;;

Chest spawned at 15:13:20
Chest despawned at 15:14:32

Didn't it say something about gear you can only get from these chests in the locked ones? I don't remember.

Maybe it wasn't a timer that despawned my first one...

Maybe i asked for a 5th hint... and since hints take your guesses.......

That caused a despawn.

... one more ellipsis for the win

Hmm.. xping with my boyfriend as PL. If one spawns before we are done I'll invite him to see what happens =/

I can send my other acct to follow you where you are at if you want. Test it maybe? I fear adding him after it spawns may adjust things.

I knew that these Caskets would be an Epic Fail. Anyone who was expecting epic gear in old world areas was fooling themselves.

After playing around in Qufim Island for a while and was using /bst and used kraken to help kill mobs, i did get 2 caskets at same time because the pet killed a monster and i did, so yes there can be
more than 1 casket you get to open at same time, also i did get a mythril ring, brass leggings and a potion +3(which wasnt temporary item) so far but i hope to see something actually good from this. However i did find the killing a monster then casket popping a bunch of times when one was killed in the party annoying, because it distracted players and slowed the party down. Also i read from the ffxi wiki that you can use thief tools to open a casket, but im guessing 1 tool per chance or something like that...

I actually found an ex/rare item in a Casket in W. Sara. It was a lvl 5 gun called Firefly for Thf/Nin/Rng/Cor with: 11 dmg, +1 Agi. and a delay of 600. This would make this gun the lowest lvl possible gun you could get in the game. Not bad add on either for only a lvl 5. To bad I've already lvl'd all 4 jobs it can be used for to at least 20 lol.
