i just done this in 17mins and 58secs, 7 seconds under the record was really hoping you could use more than once so was a bit dissapointed but still happy with my reward
I got another one of them (I used the first one), this time by setting the record for the Bastok Mines --> Lower Jeuno Chocobo trip. Actually, I was 7 seconds slower (18m27s) than the other trip, but all records where reset after the tally ^^. I wonder what you get if you keep the time below the 18 minutes (which should be possible, I think).
Anyways, I used the first one, and it teleports you to Bastok Mines, near the I.M. gate guard, facing the Auction House. What I particully like from this item, is that it teleports you to Bastok Mines, regardless of where your Home Point is. For example, a BLM17 with Warp could set his Home Point in the Dunes, fight a little, use this thing to get back to Bastok for supplies, and then Warp to the Dunes again ^^. Beats walking everytime :).
I managed to make the trip (Bastok Mines -> Lower Jeuno) in I kid you not 17 min. 59 secs. and got exact same thing. Managed to break the record but nothing different for getting there under 18 minutes.
But where does this send you, and how do you use it? What lvl should I be to go to this place? I'd hate to use it as a lvl 60 when I should only go there as a lvl 70 or 75.......
these are also obtained from the expiditionary forces for your nation, the gate guard gives it to you as soon as you accept the EP.... or is it after the teleport you to the EP zone, i cant remember, havent done one in so long.
i had one for the longest time but i used it a few months ago, nice to have
I got this item today, after doing the new chocobo delivery quests, where you need to ride a chocobo from one city to another.
I needed to ride from Bastok Mines to Lower Jeuno. My time was 14 minutes and 26 seconds when I zoned into Rolanberry Fields, and 18 minutes and 20 seconds as a total time.
The record was 18 minutes and 8 seconds, so I guess I was pretty fast ^^. As a reward, I got this Bastok Mines gate glyph.
It was the third time I did a delivery quest. The first two times, I got a bunch of Ghysal Greens.
The Bastok Mines gate glyph is Rare and Exclusive. I haven't tried it yet, but the discription is pretty clear:
"A sheet of paper inscribed with a high-level transportation spell.
Destination: Bastok Mines"
I also submitted a picture of the item. Hope it will help someone ^^ <take care> <nice to meet you>
