Oh hum, I hate it they are ending this because I've been doing a lot of abyssea armor farming lately because I was able to get some seals from the login campaign.
Most lights (apart from silver, gold, ebon, amber and ruby) were set to 100 when you first enter so you were getting chests popping almost imediately.
I've been pretty spoiled with this because it made boot farming so much easier, not to mention getting TE chests to drop.
