Cauldron Coffer - DRG AF  

I had a pretty fun time with this one... Went to Ifrit's Cauldron as a drg/whm with a 75 nin friend. He started killing mobs while I looked for the coffer. I found the coffer pretty quickly and sat waiting for my key to drop. Kills were slow and ninja had to rest between fights so I asked a 75 THF to come and help. Right when thf showed up I got aggroed by a bomb and died on top of the chest. right after I died we got the key to drop. So now I am dead on the chest with the key waiting for a raise. I sat there staring at the chest for probably 40 minutes all together. Some one walks up to the chest, looks at me, looks at chest, opens chest, then raises me. O well, no big deal at least I have the key. About 20 minutes later of all three of us looking for the chest, our thf finds it. I start running to meet him. It takes about 20 minutes and someone steals that chest right as I walk up to it. Then I get aggro and we get wiped out. I decide to quit for the night.

Next day, I walk in alone, walk right up to chest, open it, get armor, walk right out. Too easy.

Never know what your gonna get in the Cauldron.

can some one help me get the key please send me a tell /tell gingers thanks alot

Why does SE have to be so mean to DRG? They take away our ability to spam Penta Thrust... Make us do this coffer.... we get like no invites..... and we cant control our pets...... I say we rise up against them and demand they restore our penta-power. It will fix all but the pet thing... i still wish we could tell it to do somthing.

I asked my RDM buddy if he'd help me with this this morning. He agrees and we go to Ifrit's Cauldron. Well I didn't have a key, so we sit there and kill monkeys for the next 30 minutes. I finally get key, and he goes out searching for coffer and reports he finds one at the other entrance. So I rush over just to find out that a NIN has beat me to it. I'm a little ticked, but I put up with it. So we go running around for the next 45 minutes, we find another coffer. I open, got armor, dance, and then warp out of there. Really simple, really.

yes, we're shafted with the worst Coffer ever.

i hate this place trully, because i get lost and there are so many damn spawn points, not to mention the jackass who thought up those flame things.

Finished this, subbed 25 whm, yes bombs aggro to magic, but you kan find relatively safe places to recast. I recommend some juices for refresh when ur really screwed.

What I did for this, and for the Quicksand Coffer, is find a safe place with a spawn point next to it( like one of those holes u drop through in QC and the place where the lava flows with the ??? in IC (G-7) on top of the drop). This meathod sure as hell will take u longer than runing around like a f*cktrad, but its ALOT safer, because ur sitting in a place with no aggro, and it will save u alot of money on powders and oils if u have no mage sub. Seriously though, run around once in a while, then go back to your safe spot, it helps when u have no help and are prone to dying or getting lost.


GL to future NIN and DRG coming here, its trully a hell hole.

NOTE: to all other players who are only interested in this coffer for the map. Look around if there's anyone who needs it for the artifact, you know the feeling of finally getting that new piece of armor too. Let them enjoy it, please. I say this because I had the damn thing stolen from under my nose a few times, and u just feel like crying out.

6 tries 300k in prims and oils, 4 deads, and still no coffer :/

i got the key after like 3 fights of wasps with my 75 SAM friend and his 70 SMN friend...i was running around using a coffer map... and i find it on the ledge that you ahve to drop the fire wall to get to...i didnt know i needed an ice cluster.. so i had a firend bring me one..dropped the wall went to the point...started to trade...JP THF picks it...

I then spent 3 more hours looking for the coffer...i died 3 times and still ahvent found it...if anyone on Caitsith would like to help, Send me a /tell

Just finished this. I had a 74 Thf friend help me find the key...3 hours later we find the key and she tells me to wait by entrance so i dont get killed while she checks where the coffer spawns. She found it and came back for me then when we finally got to this pathway i ran in like a dumbass and got aggroed by 2 scorps and 3 bombs and died right infront of the coffer. Then a whm friend came to raise me and I got it :O

Yeah I just got the coffer and the armor yesterday. What I did was do a search on Ifrit's Cauldron and look for any bst thats lvling or farming there and ask for their help. A lvl 63 bst said ok and after an hour of killing bombs I got the key ^^

Although I do feel bad about leeching of exp coz I got 1k exp for doing nothing except heal him when the mob hits him after his pet dies.

Another note, I died only once looking for the coffer chest. My own stupid fault coz I forgot to sneak myself and walked past a bat and agro it >_<
