Orcs With No Sense Of Humor

Funny thing happen to me today. I went on the elevator at <H-7> and at the bottom there where 3 orcs...I was in a "jokers" mood and decided to "Bind" one of them and quickly press the elevator button "Ha Ha Ha!!" Then i continue on trying to find some Orc Fighters for a item that i needed for a quest. After 5-10 minutes i decided to go back to Yughott Grotto because there are more of them over there.

On my way over there, i see about 9 orcs packed together comming towards me. I said to my self, it must be someone collecting orcs or something (Sometimes you see these people doing this on youtube or InGame for fun) But i knew they came for me when a Stonechuker shot an arrow at me. I knew that if i was to survive this i will need to zone.The closses zone was Yughott Grotto.

I start running but on my way i past through waves(groups)of about 10 more orcs.Laughing my as* off because i realise it was the orc that i teased a while ago. He came back the long way up linking all the other orcs. Luckely i was lvl 47 so it wasn't that bad (20 hit points each).I manage to take a picture:

I could only take one picture before they could killed me(you don't wanna stay put when 30+ orcs are arround ya)...what you don't see in the picture is that there are more coming from the right...

There is a lesson to be learn here...Don't Tease Orcs...

Crazy!!

i cant find the dam chief!!! where is it?
RE: warchief

The Warchief is in the Ghelsba Outpost, not Fort Ghelsba. That tier-top area in the outpost you used to get into the fort? He spawns there. And he's there often. Again, not Fort Gheslba. He's in Ghelsba Outpost (highest part, near the zone into the fort). ... There's just no way to say that without sounding even more confusing, huh?
The Chest
# Mar 03 2005 at 3:29 AM Rating: Decent
Where is the Ghelsba Chest? I was told it isn't in the same place, but can someone give me some ideas where to look for it? I am sitting here farming these orcs for the 30-50 gil each they drop (Pld/Thf) and everytime I fight the cursemakers I get the key and being you can only have one, I loose the rest. I want to find this chest and receive my award. But I can't find it anywhere... *sigh*

The position of the entrance in this area is H-8 in Ghelsba Outpost, cross the hut and you will find yourself in J-8.

yeah but why bother just buy it from the vendor standing at the fountain in N Sandy or by the guy standing under the tree in the area by the W.Ron/S.Sandy gate. I think its Violitte or something like that.

as you enter Ghelsba Outpost stay left and enter Yughott's grotto. You will find them there or head to the top of FORT Ghelsba and enter Yughott's from there and you will see plenty of them to kill there.

unless of course there are others seeking out the keys or Cryptex.

Hope this helps,

Mohoso

Chest

I took someone to the Fort/Grotto to get her a key. First three kills gave me two keys, so I took one and on the way back found the chest too. I opened it and we both got 840 Gil.

FORT DIRECTIONS

To get here, you first need to fight your way thru the Ghelsba Outpost. If i remember correctly, you need to pass thru 3 wide open areas with lower lvl orcs and get to a hilltop grunt.
Enter from West Ronfaure
At the first open area (trees) take the passage at approx. your 2 o'clock.
At the next area (with huge orc hall), take the passage immediately to the right as you look at the orcish structure.
In the next area (small stone bridge, lizards) take the passage immediately to the right of the orcish barricades.
At this point you will cross over some bridges and get to a plateau. There is an orc grunt here, tougher than the normal pukes, and after you fight past him go through his hut. The entrance to the FORT is thru his hut, over a bridge.
