Temenos - Eastern Tower

From FFXIclopedia

(BLMx3, BRD Ultima LS)

This zone can be done with 3 BLMs and a BRD

1: Make sure u have RR
2: Make sure u have hMP items (To save time resting)
3: Make sure u have Blink and SS up at all times
4: All 3 BLM's need to be /RDM for this (Gravity and +INT)
5: Make sure to make the right chose between time on Item chests (Time > all). Usely we have time to open 1~2 item chests. And make sure u know ur elements

I'm going to add a coment to all the floors from my own expiriance.

<!-- start content -->

• Temenos - Eastern Tower is a subsection of the Temenos zone in the Limbus region.
• It is reached via the Teleport-Holla crag entrance to Al'Taieu.
• Each level has 4 Elementals, each of which drops an Armoury Crate and occasionally an Ancient Beastcoin.
  • They drop one Time chest (15 minutes), one Restore chest, and 2 Items chests.
    • One of the Items chests is fake, and contains a Mystic Avatar of the appropriate element.
    • Opening a chest causes the remaining Elementals and the other types of chest to disappear, and also opens the gate to the next level.
    • If you are going for time, open the Time chest as soon as it drops and proceed to the next level.
    • If you are going for items, wait until both Items chests drop and then open one.
    • Never open a Restore chest.
    • Opening two Time chests is typical.
• All Elementals seem to be immune to Silence.
• All Elementals have a Fast cast estimated to be about Fast cast III equivalent.
• Elementals have roughly 50% magic damage resistance, whereas the Avatars take full damage.
• The Avatars' Astral Flow attacks can be Stunned, or a Barspell plus Carol make them weak.
  • Also, if the avatar is at the bottom of one of the tall ramps on some of the levels, players at the top of the ramp will not be hit by Astral Flow.
  • If an Avatar is out, different chests can not be opened until the Avatar is defeated.
  • A Mystic Avatar is stronger than a Prime Avatar but has much less HP
    • A Mystic Avatar has approximately 5000 HP (unconfirmed)
• Typical Ancient Beastcoin yield: 50+
• Reward for completion: Scarlet Chip
• Drops AF+1 materials:

• Enemies: Fire Elemental x4
  • Additional Effect: Plague
• Have approximately 8000 hp
• The Items chest has 5-7 Ancient Beastcoins and 1 AF+1 item (DRK, BLM, RNG, BST, PLD, ?)

(BLMx3, BRD Ultima LS)

This floor is easy. Fight 1 bye one and use Gravity. Thise are imune to Bind (Fire is strong against the Ice element, and weak to the Water element) So Water and Thunder. Nothing special here get time chest and move on to the 2nd floor.

[edit]
Second Floor

• Enemies: Ice Elemental x4
  • Additional Effect: Paralyze
• Can be pulled without linking if pulled when its on the outer wall.
• The Items chest has 5-6 Ancient Beastcoins and 1-2 AF+1 item (BLM, SAM, RNG, PLD, SMN, DRG, RDM, DRK, ?)
  • Delete this if smn item can be confirmed.
• A Mystic Avatar (Shiva) may spawn when opening a chest. Avatar is capable of using Diamond Dust.

(BLMx3, BRD Ultima LS)

The Ice element is weak against the Fire element and strong against the Wind element. In other words imune to Bind and Gravity. Make sure SS and Blink is up. I wuld sleep thise while u run out of range and get rdy to cast again. BRD make sure to pay atencion to para. BLM's try to time ur spells so u can sleep thise and all be rdy to cast again just to be on the safe side. I recomend taking time here also just to be on the safe side. In my expiriance Shiva's Astral flow is nasty and I wuldnt risk it. Take the portal and move to the 3rd floor

[edit]
Third Floor

• Enemies: Air Elemental x4
  • Additional Effect: Silence
• The Items chest has 5-8 Ancient Beastcoins and 1 AF+1 item (PLD, DRK, RNG, SAM, BST, ?)

(BLMx3, BRD Ultima LS)

This element is strong against Earth element, and weak to Ice monsters. Gravity wont work on this so focos on bind and nuke sleep if u realy need to. Additional Effect: Silence ceep ur distance and make sure Blink is up. Use Blizzard and Thunder.

Depending on ur luck with the time chests u may pop item chest here. ALWAYS be rdy for an avatar to be summond if needen make 1 BLM manafont just be sure u can kill it. Moving to the 4th floor.

[edit]
Fourth Floor

• Enemies: Earth Elemental x4
  • Additional Effect: Petrification
  • Immune to Stun
• Impossible to pull one without linking at least one other.
• The Items chest has 6-8 Ancient Beastcoins and 1-2 AF+1 items (RNG, DRG, DRK, THF, BST, ?)

(BLMx3, BRD Ultima LS)

Thise come 2 and 2 and have a NASTY Additional Effect: Petrification (no WHM to help u here so Blink Bind and Gravity are the key words here. Earth spells are strong against Thunder and weak against Wind. Aero and Blizzard here work. Take turns on Gravity and Bind so u always have one rdy. I wuld go with time here if u poped item on the 3rd in not u can try ur luck here. BE rdy for Titan! Moving on to 5th floor.

[edit]
Fifth Floor

• Enemies: Thunder Elemental x4
  • Additional Effect: Stun
  • Immune to Stun (but Ramuh is not)
• The Items chest has 6-7 Ancient Beastcoins and 1-2 AF+1 items (DRK, RDM, BST, THF, PLD, ?)

(BLMx3, BRD Ultima LS)

Thunder is strong against Water and weak against the Earth element. Use Blizzard and Fire on thise. Bind and Gravity wonr here. Not much to say about thise realy. Get time chest and move on

[edit]
Sixth Floor

• Enemies: Water Elemental x4
  • Additional Effect: Poison
• The Items chest has 6-7 Ancient Beastcoins and 1-2 AF+1 items (PLD, BRD, BLM, THF, DRG, RNG, BST, ?)

(BLMx3, BRD Ultima LS)

Water is strong against the Fire element and weak against the Thunder element. Thunder and Blizzard. Bind and Gravity work here also. If u where realy lucky with the time chests or item chests on the floor be4 u can go for Item here . Almost there doin good so far /cheer

[edit]
Seventh Floor

• Enemies: Dark Elemental x2
  • Additional Effect: Curse
  • Repeatedly cast Sleepga II
• There is a fake chest on this floor, too.
• The final chest has 7 Ancient Beastcoins, 1 AF+1 item (PLD, RNG, DRK, BLM, BST, ?) and the Scarlet Chip.

Hmmm Fenrir at the end if he pops is a ho with the taste of Jas in his mouth. Friken raped me last time he poped ._.

Dark elements are imune to BLM sleep spell so it is BRD's turn to shine. Additional Effect: Curse is realy anoying so BRD be sure to pay atencion all BLMs are /RDM so no Cursna. Bind Gravity and so on. Try spreed out a bit just in case it casts sleepga. Afther u kill thise get redy for a 50/50 chanse of Fenrir.

Last floor so close. From here it is all luck and if u do pop fenrir make sure u are rdy for him. do not w8 to save ur manafont last boss go ALL out on the ho. Gravity and Bind and ceep nuking.

That is all it takes. gratz and good job :thrilled: :thrilled:

There are a couple of good ways to go about this one. The first and probably most simple is 3 BLM and a BRD, and to just manaburn them down. Important to have BRD, because there are dark elementals on the last floor.

The other strategy, which we haven't yet pulled off successfully (only tried it once, and it failed because I stunned the wrong thing), is to bring a few WARs with Tomahawk (3 being the minimum probably) and melee burn them down. 2 Stuns would be very nice, so RDM/DRK and WHM/DRK, perhaps along with someone saving TP for a stun WS on the Mystic Avatars.
