Talk:Xarcabard/Treasure Casket

Wanted to share my experience with these Xarcabard locked Treasure Casket. I was farming them during the May 2009 Adventurer Appreciation+Mog Tablet event, for the increased casket drop rate. My total farming time for the Gothic Gauntlets was a span of 4 days of 15~ hours time total.

Legend:

I = a chest I was able to open.

X = a chest I couldnt open; was unsolvable, or didnt make a lucky guess.

I X X I X X I X X I I X I I I I I X I X X X X I I X I I X X I X X I I I X X I X X I X I I I I X X I I I X X X X X I I X I X X X I(Gothic Gauntlets)

I = 32 X = 33

So the odds of you getting a chest you can actually open (which means not just 4 chances with random trash hints) was about a little less than half. Some of my opened chests were just a shot in the dark that got lucky and opened. I noticed a majority of chests were 4-5 chance options 6 being uncommon, again I think this is all dependent on your personal luck. My Gothic Gauntlets came out of a 4 chance chest that had hints of "the 1st digit is 1, the second digit is 2,3,4". I do not feel the 4 chance had any better chance of yielding the gloves, just wanted to include the info. During the Kupofried event, the chest drop rate was 30%(that was the posted total on the site). During the chest openings I got a lot of random stuff, almost everything listed except the Gauntlets for a long time; Greatsword, Carap Mittens Mask Leggings, Mythril Zag, Ash logs/silk/peppers, many many Ether/Potion. So it really is all just luck, and a matter of time. These results were in very sharp contrast to the Gothic Sabatons I got in 40minutes with 5 chests in Behemoth's Dominion.
