XD Darn, I was going to come here and post something like this.

People, we aren't lying - Enemies will chase you back up those steps. It is not considered a real zone [If keeping your TP wasn't obvious enough].

I guess I should farm some carmine chips after Dynamis tonight and find out...I sorta bought out Ramuh of cores today...

45 minutes thats horrible i doubt you went as a level 7 WAR, silly newbie.

A: It is science fiction! (How else do they put the little voice in your head?)
B: It WAS built by the Zilart! (good intutition there)
C: It has a system overload because you traded the wrong items
D: It is used in the quest "Strange Aparatuses".
Here is the link to the page covering all that is known about the Zilartian Science Fictionesque Computer.

Vrtra has True Sight and so can see through Invis, Sneak and Deodorize. Vrtra also has 'Draw In' where they can suck you right in front of them if they spot you within range.

What would likely happen was: you got within range to barely see Vrtra, Vrtra draws you in, then you get one shot by a dragon. :D

You probably would get a great view of its belly though. Might be worth doing, but only if you don't mind the XP loss.

It's a dragon, there's a picture of it too ^^ http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/bestiary.html?fmob=3086

If you mean the "Heavy Stone Door", then you're looking at the spawn point for three lvl 63ish skeletons for San d'orian mission 6-2. When someone with the quest activated clicks on the door, it will spawn them, so don't worry about clicking on it and spawning them. ^^;

There is also a spot on the ground that is ???. If u dare click on that it will take you underground where u might even have to tele out of cuz stuff is very hard down there. Hope this helps.

Head for the long (north to south) rectangular area at K-5 / K-6. There are Leecher / Gambler / Muggers here.



The long rectangular (east to west) area at
G-10 / H-10 / I-10 has 2 "tombs" in it. The one on the eastern end of the rectangle is where the spook spawns. This has the tombstone for Sandy mission 1-1 and the "Waterskin Quest". If you want to die....go to the west end.

Theres a large raised stone "platform" in this area. There's a "???" in the middle of this platform you can target. Clicking on it teleports you underground. Dire Bats (lvl 65ish) will probably be what kills you, if the worms don't. Make it past both of them, and there's a ~lvl 70 scorpion. I don't know what's past that....my sneak started to wear off and I hauled ass back. If you need to exit, just turn 180 degrees from where you teleported in, and you'll see a staircase. Run up it. Before u hit the stairs, though, you'll be teleported back topside.

Hope this answers your question!

No, Vrtra can't come out but I'm sure other monsters can like when the sea horror floats through walls and aggros people inside the boat.

Really?

That's an awesome lie considering the high level stuff cannot go up to the ground where Spook is.

Well, to get to the Jugner Forest exit isn't all that difficult to explain. After heading down into the caves near the entrance from East Ronfaure, follow them until you get to an opening (the area where King Ranperre's Tomb is actually located- will be at the NW corner of the bottom box on map). Take a sharp left, then another left at the end of the box area, to head back north again (and through some more caves). If the goblins near the entrance of these caves aren't too hard for you, you shouldn't have a problem for the rest of this area, as long as you don't stick your head above ground again) Follow this cave around, and keep heading north and east. If you see an area that goes back above ground, you need to head back a little west, then head north again at the next possible intersection and head east. The East Ronfaure exit takes you out on a mountain in East Ronfaure, that you can drop down from, and the Jugner exit takes you to a segmented off part where there is a ??? (don't touch it if you've done the quest related to it! unless you want to, darn Death Knight kicked my butt), and some crabs. Have fun!

thankyou ! ^^

There are around 10-15 point where the chest spawns at. I found a map once of where these points were but now I can't remember. Just run around in the deeper areas (no the high lvl area) till you find it. I'
ll try and find the map again and post it's location.
