Haven't got round to updating the Wanted Unity NM Coffer pages, drop rates and associated upgrades as yet. Still being overwhelmed by all of the new stuff I have to do!

Think I'm getting RoE down - realised that I should have *all* the crystals, geodes, and -ite loot RoEs going on. Also the zone I'm heading to, the coffer one, repeatable damage ones... Pretty much up at 30 now lol.

So yeah, I got distracted from EVERYTHING by thinking to myself that the best way to clear my ridiculous inventory situation would be to crack the crafting cap items for each craft (I was 100CC and all others 60). Cue going to farm crawlers at Rolanberry [S] for Wyrdstrand and forgetting to craft the Swith Cape with a Terra Crystal so I had to farm up another 6x strands again (see: two evenings of this week). Second time lucky and sold the first Swith Cape on the AH quickly for the going rate of 15k (wish it was desynthable!) - much less than the cost of the mats, naturally.

Then it's been keeping up with daily handouts. Obvs the Wanted chest and the Gobbie Special Dial (since 2012 it had stored up points for me so I have 14,000 - which means I can take a 50pter each day for the next 280 days, not including the stack of testimonies I have to trade at one per day).

Also though the login points, wherein I've bought myself a Mog Patio design document. For some reason *that* made me begrudgingly go looksee what this whole Mog Garden thing is about. Apparently I set it up in 2012 and did the quests, but I had just one GPS star and basically it hits me with -20 inv every day for the privilege.

So yeah, even more overwhelmed with items, with only some stuff slowly selling through the AH. Basically, crafting has become a priority, especially as the wiki doesn't seem to hold the lv100+ recipes - I grabbed them all from the NPC and bought what I needed to start... Then got told by the LS about crafting torques...

(The LS, by the way, go from incredibly helpful all the way down to I can't believe a human being with a brain actually typed that, but mainly they still talk about content I have yet to reach, eg Ambuscade, Rieves, and mainly stuff that I haven't even heard of. Soon, soon...)

So this was a clusterfuck. Clothcraft they say? Oh, check Ru'Aun Gardens coffers. Ok, right. So I farm coffer keys for two days. Seems now that coffers disappear 2/3 of the time. And every time it did open it gave me gil (a huge amount in comparison to the old days ~50k gil!). Frustrated after a dozen plus coffers, thinking I might have needed a quest to trigger the drop, I resorted to the net for info. Shamefully this wiki has nothing, but I did find a link to a guide over on BGWiki that stated they drop from Treasure caskets in The Shrine of Ru'Avitau ffs. Cue five hours straight of farming. Got the GoV buff lv5 for chests, got the Terminus Earring. Didn't get the damned Clothcrafter's Torque.

Ended at 2am, passing out in front of the screen (don't have the stamina of 30yr-old me!) stumbling to the Goblin and my Mog Garden to get daily handouts with zero inventory space (even the old mailbox is full up!). Resolved in the morning to reactivate my mule for 70p/month (I do resent that, but it is what it is).

This morning, Bethanee was reactivated, logged on to her only to find a full inventory of high-level crafting stuff, a full page of Magian Trial upgrade items, a full inbox of gil from the AH and 6mil. Well worth it. Now to sort all *that* stuff out too...
