[CrimsonDeath]

Topic. Do Thief Tools, Living Keys, or Skeleton Keys open the AF Coffers?

[Deodorant]

Yes. I know this from personal experience.

[Anya]

They also work great on AF mimics!

[Bamce Sylph]

haha russy went on coffer hunt .. mimic pop = dead kitty .. went again READY with scroll warp .. open another coffer mr mimic pops again .. perfect dodge at 180 or so hp > instant warp > pops near kazham with 110 hp ... dot on me taking 10hp/tick so i Flee run to kazham to get to mog inorder to change SJ to get hp back .. mogle > change job > dead ... next thing i know this lv27 war telling me where is that monster that killed me at mog house

:spin:

by the way CrimsonDeath i think you need Skeleton key for coffers not sure if others work but your best choice is Skeleton

I know from personal experience that if you throw enough thief tools at a coffer, it will indeed open.

BTW, how much are thief tools selling for on your server? They are rarely for sale at the AH, so they're up to 11,000 gil/dozen. Living keys are only 15k. I've never used one. Are they substantially better than thief tools?

I heard someone say that they thought living keys made mimics spawn more often. I imagine they were just making that up, but I'd be interested to see your input.

[Disturbed]

thief tools supposed to be more likely to spawn a mimic if you fail to open the chest/coffer~

then living, and skeleton least likely

[Mistress Kimba]

I open coffers on a regular basis and did all my AF coffers at levels 50 and 51.

I have NEVER had a mimic spawn on me, and to give you a heads up on experience, I have NEVER used a skeleton key. I found living keys to be the most productive for the least money spent. My first AF coffer was monastic caverns at 50, tried a living key and it popped open first try. Second Coffer was Zvahl Baileys, took 2 living keys this time, but still no weakened state or mimic, just a failure first attempt. 3rd coffer was Oztroja... It took me 4 Living keys, no mimic, no weakened state, just failures.

I now swear by living keys, I dont bother buying thf tools or skeleton keys. I have since opened coffers in Eldieme, Crawlers Nest, and Quicksand Caverns with only Living keys.

If you plan on opening any coffers by yourself, 50 is the level you will most likely want to start at. This allows you to sub red mage or white mage allowing you the ability to sneak and invis yourself. If you go earlier than that, you will have to use powders and oils which arent very productive in the long run...

[Tetsunosuke]

T_T...are treasure chests worth opening? i see many of them in Yugghot(ghelsba)

[Rykielz]

I am a level 30 THF/NIN so i have invis and i dont mind spending like 500 gil per silent oil, i usually carry them anyways if i want to go to norg. do you think i will be able to open some chests/coffers?
also i have heard that dex and int help you open chests, is this true? BTW i am a Mithra. so my dex is a little higher than normal. where do you suggest i go and open chests to get make a good profit?, thanks

[Yukk]

Yes i was a LV 62 Ranger but now i really broke and wanna lvl up my thief. Im lvl 30 thief ninja right now and was wondering when can i start doing coffer hunting, like in Yagudo castle since it has 100k ring. Is it ok to start at LV 30 if you use powders or oils?
