Ifrits Cauldron, some questions

[Ayako]

Well, since DRG got the shaft and have to go here for Draken Mail...Figured I would ask some questions about it (I have never been there).
Basically, all I know is to bring Oils and Powder, not use magic, because of Bombs (thanks Sheila). Otherwise I have no idea what to expect. What kind of party should I bring for key hunting? I have been told anywhere from a full PT of 60, to only needing 2 level 60s. Key drops from pretty much everything, so in theory we could fight the weakest thing. I just don't want to get a group of helpers, only to get them decimated trying to get me a key. (Speaking of helpers..*any out there? cough*...)
Hopefully the horror stories I have heard aren't as bad as they seem?

Why do I get the feeling i'm gonna die during this :sweat:

The tactic I heard was basically you bring lots of potions, and your melees you invite bring lots of potions.

Let me know whenever you're heading out and I'd be glad to help out, as I need a key as well.

Why do I get the feeling i'm gonna die more than once during this :sweat:

If there is aanyone who dies on helping other people with af, i'd say it would have to be me. I'll come and help if you need it.

Kinda funny how mortified of this place people are. I mean, it's not like we would have to go to the core to hunt a key. Bees at the start drop it. Coffer is another story, but that's all on me anyway.
Well, I would like to get it done tomorrow, but that hinges more on when everyone else is free. Send me a tell anytime. I have (including myself) 7 people who are willing to go, but it's the matter of getting them all on at once. ><) /sigh

I dunno if this will help much but everything in Ifrits Cln. drops a coffer key. The drop isn?ft even that bad too. Id say it's about 1 out of 5 enemies. I was helping a few DRGs I know do it. We had a 69 bst come along and help so it was no sweat. He just tamed everything and killed stuff. Coffer hunting is a different story though. Id say this place is the most dangerous out of them all. There is NO WHERE to run or hide in there. Magic is also death as well. Even a bomb almost out of view will sense your magic if you cast. That place is a death trap. You go like 1 minute straight without a safe zone to put back on your sneak + invis buffs. If you get 1 of those 20 second lasting ones and go out of a safe zone, you = X_X

Ifrit's coffer isn't hard, especially because it is solo-able.

You just need to know when and how to re-use the powder and oil.

The best idea is to get a BST to let things kill each other and quickly.

Uggalepih is the worst coffer. *owes far big time*

hooray for being screwed! (-_-)

Description of ugalepih coffer:

key must be got in deeper area monsters, low drop rate.

coffers are behind gates, doors and some doors require (ugalepih or high priest) keys for entering, or guardian monster to kill. Guardian can flatten level 60 melee if it does melt down, 60+ pt to kill it.

it popped in the ugalepih+highpriest key required area once, the only other way to get there was by walking out from the ziraat m4 altar specifically.

all doors require someone to un-invis, open it and get aggroed by the monsters around and inside.

It's ok, Ana has quit now :spin:

Jesus fucking christ...looks like I wont have the AF body piece for a long time. Just have to wait for the shouts, but even those get difficult to catch (i.e. time problems, level ristrictions).

Key and Coffer get today. Went with me (57 DRG), 60 WHM, 56 SAM, 57 BRD, 68 THF, 62(?) MNK. Fights were easy, took about 2 hours to get key. Found the coffer in about 2 minutes, with no trouble form bombs or anything. Don't believe the Ifrits Horror stories^^)/
