can anyone tell me if this key is used for anything else other than for AF quests?
Not as hard as it used to be.
Retrace -> Sauromugue [S] -> Garlaige [S] -> Garlaige -> Coffer
Got coffer on my own within an hour. I was lucky on placement tho. :D

The game continues to astonish me...
Went back the next morning with a few 75 mates, killed a Vault Weapon first, took much longer than my last party did to kill it, and I was getting ready for a long slow wait again for the key.
It dropped off the first mob we killed.

I was just in a party in Garlaige and we got the key drop off of either a Funnel Bat or a Chamber Beetle. I am 99% sure that it was bat though.

Ah it's times like this, when I hate this game. First off it took a couple of months for me to get help with this (not fun, infact very fustrating) I finally get help from a Galka, MNK/THF JP, killed a couple of the mobs that drop it, as I run by a bettele and bat, sneak and invis decide to poof away, I get attacked by 2 beetles, and a bat, end up dead and go back down to 59, get a raise about 20 minutes later, a JP BST joins, and in about 5 kills I finally get my damn key, now it'll be even more of a bitch to get help finding the Coffer, and fighting the dark spark.

If you can, avoid fighting the undead here for the key! Especially if you are a melee (or BST). Instead fight the weapons. 100X easier (and I got the key on the first fight ^^)

yeah.. so i finallly got the key..
after a first attempt of 4+hours with no drop ><
2nd attempt went great.. started with 7 ppl, incl. Armentarius, Minmay and other good ppl (i'm sorry i don't remember your names anymore ; ;) and along the way we ended with 11 ppl, incl. my RL buddy Dpgc. It was fun and relax. No worries and we chained like crazy. Mostly Weapons, wich also dropped the 3 keys we're looking for. Just have a good party/alliance and have fun with it, b/c patience is the key word.
good luck to you all.

I have had this key since Lv.52 from a exp pt and have (no joke) spent 5 weeks and 40k exp loss trying to get my freaking crown. I always get left behind the gate2 and hope it spawns when i run out of prisms and oil. The closest i have gotten to it i ran up to one a tainted meat spawned and i got killed, while im dieing a whm nabs the chest while meat is occupied. I have long since given up, only to return with 3 rdms or whms. I would continue, but I rather dislike the thought of my friends calling me "Princess Nightfire". (yes I'm a guy)

I got my key from 2 bst that were lvling!! they invited me to their pt and the i lotted for it.
The hard thing is not getting the key!! is getting the coffer. I spent like 6 hrs and got killed 5 times!! is a pain in the ass this coffer hunt, especially because u need 3 ppl to open the gates.
I recomend to open the second banishing gate and wait on (G-7). In that spot u wont get aggro and then every 30 mins invis and search for the coffer, if it isn't spawned return to your mini camp and wait another 30 mins etc...

Got 4 of these keys in 2 hours while skilling up.
2 from Over Weapons, one from a Vault Weapon, and one from a Fallen Major. These monsters can all be found downstairs. No need to go through the banishing gates.
Also got 10 skill levels on my club :D

Does anyone know the acctual ammount of time it takes for the Coffer to respawn after it's been opened?
I've heard estimates from as low as 10 minutes. And I've heard as high as 4 hours (Coffers in general)

Technically wanting AF is just wanting it for personal gain as well...
And as mentioned, RDM AF tights are in the coffers here, so even using your logic, he had just as much a right to it as you did.

SE put too many AF in this coffer.
I was only able to get mine because a Tainted Flesh was sitting on it and the other AFers/AsshatTHFs didn't see it.

In FFXI there are Two types of Treasure Boxes.
Treasure Chests and Treasure Coffers.
Coffers are in general, found in harder areas, and most of them, while they have goodies inside them, are also involved in the various Job AF quests where you need to open then to get the AF items.

After taking 5+ hours getting my coffer for my PLD, I was a little worried about doing this with my RNG. I am usually the guy who goes all day in a key party without a drop. Well I think my luck is finally starting to change.
Xblind (72 bst) and Zenny (65 rdm) helped me out getting the key. The 2nd weapon we killed dropped the key! So we all warp back and the next day I ask my friends Callidus, Inglorian, and Taint to help me open the gates. After we open the 2nd banishing gate the first spawn I check the coffer is sitting there!
Then Zenny and Callidus help me kill DS and we own it easily.
The whole thing didn't even take more than 1 or 2 hours.
I am the luckiest guy ever.

When you go for your coffer-chest in Garlaige...
Please be polite and considerate...
If at all possible bring your own party of 4 to open your own banishing gates... this is called the fair and legitimate way of doing it...
If you need to follow another party through the gate (a.k.a. leeching) for whatever reason, be sure to:
1) Ask the party you're leeching from if they are there looking for coffer chest as well, if they are...
2) Let them know that b/c they are doing you a great service by getting you a free-ride through the gate, that you will defer any coffer inside to them first...
3) If you see a coffer, you had better let that party take the first crack at it even if you're there first while they were scrambling from the switches to the banishing gate and all you had to do was step through...
This is called being considerate and respecting that somebody else took the time to gather a group of friends or linkshell mates together to hunt this coffer the correct way instead of being a leech and benefiting from somebody's else's hard-work and time.
I was in Garlaige today helping a low-lvl pld friend of mine find his coffer in a party of four and some 74/75 JP WHM waited for us to pop the 3rd gate and then he rushed in, popped the coffer and warped out... leaving us with time wasted and a sour taste in our mouths and the PLD w/o his much-needed AF just so some whm with relic armor could have another 10k gil.
So please, if you need to hitch a ride through the gates, play nice and be considerate of the party that is doing all the work for you.

Please be polite and considerate...
If at all possible bring your own party of 4 to open your own banishing gates... this is called the fair and legitimate way of doing it...
If you need to follow another party through the gate (a.k.a. leeching) for whatever reason, be sure to:
1) Ask the party you're leeching from if they are there looking for coffer chest as well, if they are...
2) Let them know that b/c they are doing you a great service by getting you a free-ride through the gate, that you will defer any coffer inside to them first...
3) If you see a coffer, you had better let that party take the first crack at it even if you're there first while they were scrambling from the switches to the banishing gate and all you had to do was step through...

Don't listen to this post. You aren't "leeching" anything.
Alright Meatwad now what is this?
Well that's a chair.
No I mean is it left or is it right?
Well it's a chair.... and it's right over there.

Yeah, you are, asshat. If you run through and grab the coffer of someone who actually bothered to take the time to find help to get the gates open instead of waiting around to leech it, you are a grade A asshat.

Since behind the 2nd b-gate, there is a spot guarded by the Tainted Flesh... this question came up. It agros sound and low HP, I know. So.
a) do you loose sneak when opening a coffer?
b) if you get agro from having to drop invis, trade the key and it opens, will get you get the item if you die? (in my case, Old Gloves)
c) if you do loose sneak, get agro'd as the coffer pops, and die, do you get the item?
pretty much, I need to know if I am going to say screw it and just let myself die to get this item. If I cant get the item even if I die... well obviously not going to die for no reason! Thanks for help!

If you have sneak up, you will be able to open the coffer, but once you have opened it and received the item, then you will lose sneak, and most likely die from the tainted flesh. I did this at another point where it was guided by a haunt, which also aggro by sound. I went to the coffer with sneak, opened it and got the Healer's Cap (whm AF), automatically lost sneak, and then died. But the main point is that I got my AF =P
The worst part about this is that I forgot I had reraise on, so when I was about to click the "Return to home point" button, I accidentally pressed "yes" to be reraised, then died again lol...

I (50 thf at the time) was helping a pt of people, including a 72 pld and a 69 rdm, get this key. First thing we killed, Fallen Major i think, dropped one. Then someone pulled a Hellmine...not a good idea. We took it down a little more than halfway and it self-destructs, dealing over 900 damage to the 72 pld and the 69 rdm, killing them both. It only did 250+ to me and i was standing next to the pld. Sadly pld didnt wanna wait for a raise so he just went to HP, losing about 4k exp.

12 hours... to get my key.
2 nights... to get behind the banishing gates to the coffer spawns.

Anyone able to confirm or dispute the rumor that coffer chests won't spawn for 30 mins after being opened?

Yes, there is a minimum respawn time of 30 minutes. I just spent the weekend with a few friends hunting coffers, and a few times we had people behind both banishing gates #2 and #3, scouring both areas regularly. We kept time after every coffer was opened (whether by us or others) and at least two spawned at exactly 30 minutes. Other times, it took a bit longer, but this may be due to some spawn points being uncampable due to large numbers of sound-aggro mobs nearby. For those we had to run routes periodically instead of just camping the spawn point directly, so a coffer may have sat unopened for a few minutes. Conclusion: minimum respawn time is 30 minutes, maximum 45.
BTW, coffers do NOT respawn automatically if they are unopened. At one point there were only two people left in our group, one behind gate #2 and one behind #3. The one behind #2 didn't need a coffer, but hung around just to let the other know if one popped over there. Well, one did pop behind #2 (wouldn't you know it), and being unable to get help to open the gate, we decided to wait and see if someone would come and open it, thereby possibly forcing a respawn behind #3 where the person needing it was stuck waiting. An hour and 15 minutes later, no respawn. So a coffer definitely has to be opened to force a respawn elsewhere.
Third tip, the area the coffer will spawn in, either behind gate #2 or #3, is random each time. We saw several spawns in a row behind gate #3, but sometimes respawns would bounce back and forth. So respawns don't alternate between the two areas or anything. We saw a lot more spawns behind gate #3 than #2, so go there first. Best strategy is to have people camping/sweeping points behind both gates at the same time. As soon as a coffer is found, regroup and go get it.
Last thing, we had several abortive attempts and deaths at the switches in front of Banishing Gate #3 due to Sneak or Invisible wearing. That place is evil! We even had everyone gather in a safe spot near the gate, cast *simultaneously* and immediately head for the switches. Even doing this, several times we had to abort or fight because something wore. In the end, we had EVERYONE, including mages, use oils and powders to get through that damned gate. And it wasn't even Iceday or Darksday most of the time we had trouble. Maybe higher level mages won't have this problem, but if your party is in the 50s, consider carting in a few extra oils and powders just for this gate.

I got the key on the first drop, it was kind of funny. We were forming the party to get the key and it took about an hour. A PLD friend needed to do it for some weapon skill thing, but we killed one fallen major and the key dropped. I then paid somebody 80k to open the 3rd banishing gate and sneak wore off next to a bomb so I RAN to the coffer that I saw was up on a ledge and I was 2 inches away from the coffer and I died ; ;. Then I went back and opened the gate again, remembered sneak and got the chest without dieing, so Warlock's Tights wasn't so bad, I had a relatively good experience in Garlaige -_- Castle Oztroja coffer was much harder, not for the coffer, I got lucky on that, REAL LUCKY, but becaue it took 3 trips of over 2 hours each to get a coffer key ^^, well thx for reading.

Party of 6 hunting for the key, we needed 4, afther 4 hours of nonstop killing the party broke up and no keys were found. Only me (blm) and the whm stayed behind.
We decided to pay a high lvl thf for some help, 3.5 hours later the first key dorped. And ofcourse I had to loose the lot. So we kept going and fianly my key droped 30 min later, so I was there for 8 hours O.o
Well now i got a key but that coffer is a real pain to get to, guess im just gonna have to go camp the gates or something :(

Spent 4hrs in a 2 PT alliance trying to get this key for 3 people. We had TH2x2 and it was a full moon...yet still no drop in those 4hrs. We pulled and anihilated every possible mob that drops the key! It was real frustrating and I'm hoping for better luck tomorrow when I attempt to try and get this key again.
