Temenos - Western Tower

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

• Temenos - Western Tower is a subsection of the Temenos zone in the Limbus region.
• It is reached via the Teleport-Holla crag entrance to Al'Taieu.
• Cosmo-Cleanse and White Card key items are required for entry.
• Monsters on the first six floors drop an average of two chests per floor; you can open them at any time.
  • Over the six floors, on average there will be four Time (15 minutes), four Restore and four Items chests; there can be more or less.
  • Luck plays a very important role in this Limbus area; depending on Time chest drops you can finish with 45 minutes left or run out of time halfway.
  • Chest drops on these six floors seem to be affected by moon phase and Treasure Hunter.
  • The seventh floor just has the final Items chest.
• A party of 3 strong DD/NIN, 1 BRD, 1 RDM, 1 BLM can complete this area pretty consistently.
• 5 people (pld/nin, mnk/nin, blm/whm, rdm/dnc, whm/smn) have cleared this completely taking 4 time chests.
  • Use 2-hours at will to speed up killing as much as possible; there are no bosses, and there will be plenty of Restore chests.
• 5 people (blu/nin, sam/dnc, sam/nin, brd, and whm/smn) have cleared this completely as well.
• 4 people (mnk/nin, rdm/whm, blm/whm, brd/whm) have cleared this by skipping floors as needed and getting time chests.
• A balanced alliance of 12 can easily defeat every mob on all floors with plenty of time remaining.
• The gate to the next level opens with the first kill.
• Drops AF+1 materials for: BLU, BRD, BST, DRK, MNK, NIN, PUP, RDM, SAM, SCH, SMN, WAR, WHM.
• Typical Ancient Beastcoin yield: 45-57
• Reward for completion: Emerald Chip
