RDM AF Question

[Ruic]

I have completed my AF1, and my AF2. (Degen and Boots.)

I don't have my Eldieme key yet, but I do happen to have my Garlaige key. I have activated Borghertz's Vermillion Hands as well.

My question is, when I've nothing else to do, could I run around Garlaige and find my coffer? And if when I do find it, would I receive my tights, or would I receive something else, due to the fact I haven't completed my gloves?

I'm aware of how hard it is to get back there and everything, I'm just curious if there is some limiting force in AF order involving coffers without quests.

All you need to do is have the hands quest at least started and you'll get AF from the coffers, you don't have to have finished it. I got my Dragoon AF from the coffer before I'd finished the hands. Got it all to do again now as RDM.

With Garlaige your best bet is to camp behind either the second or third banishing gate. I chose third, because it has a safe spot to recast sneak and a zone in case things go bad. However to get behind the gates you need three sensible and kind friends to open the gates themselves, then just sit there until you open a coffer.

[Patchinko]

There is a safe spot just behind the second gate as well, but you have to be careful AFKing there because if someone opens the door, an Oil Slick might aggro you.

Im in the same boat actually.. finished AF1 and 2 but do not have Eld. Necropolis Key. I do have my Garliage coffer key and have the Borghertz's Vermillion Hands quest started.

I thought there was another quest to activate for the Legs? Can I start that quest for the leg piece and go find the coffer since I already have the Garliage key? Then I can go back and get my Eld. Necropolis key or does the AFs have to go in order?

Garliage was a pain in my ass about 2 weeks ago. Camped behind gate 3 for 2 days with no luck. Went around the frount and waited for a pt to come through to the second gate. Once I got there I spent another day waiting. There are more points behind the second gate then the third.

On a side note: I did get the selbina clay tablet quest finished when I went behind the third gate. Quick and easy 10k

i spent a few nights in the citadel just camping coffers. best thing to do is just plan to commit to it for a few days and you'll get it.

Got my hat last night... But going to be hard to find a good key party for Eldieme. Oztroja I'm not too worried about though.

That statue was one nasty mob. The physical AOE it has is incredibly painful. At least I think it is physical. Maybe light, or lightning though. O_o

WOW, I didnt get mine until lvl 60. The statue is very hard unless you have a high level Ninja tanking it like our group did. We beat it with 6 people, 2 times (once for the other RDM, once for me)

If I were you I'd be worried about Oztroja, its not too bad getting key if you have high level help, but the coffer itself holds astral rings, so there are THF's running around there 24/7 opening them.

The doll isn't actually that difficult so long as you only have 1 person (your tank) in melee.

When I did it, a SAM 75 friend of mine melee/tanked it, while the rest of us (RDM 57 (me), WHM 57, WHM 57, PLD 57 (Flash wh*re), DRK 57 (Stun wh*re), RNG 5? (did CRAP damage)) stayed back.

As long as there's not more than 1 person in AoE range, he's not that bad, so long as the person up close and personal can survive the beating the doll hands out.
