Its more like this:

If the HNM you are hunting is a 70 hour respawn, SE changes it to a 15 hour respawn, HOWEVER, if you've killed once, you'll have to wait 70 hours to kill it again, otherwise it vanishes as an illusion. MEANWHILE, those who DIDN'T get a chance at the HNM who try to kill it, will be able to. So while it doesn't affect how the HNM remains a 70 hour respawn for the individual/alliance, it is respawning more often for others to get a chance.

The new coffer system means that the coffers respawn more often, but unless you are getting an AF piece or map, you are stuck on the old timer. So if it is just an illusion for you, that means that on the old system, there would be no coffer for you to pick because SOMEONE else already got it.

I think people are just complaining because the faster respawns are getting their hopes up. Aside from AF/Map hunters having more chances, the respawn for treasure HAS NOT CHANGED.

That presumes you're the only one hunting. If that is the case, then I don't know, perhaps Squeenix's system is a little different. Otherwise, someone else may have opened a coffer for treasure, putting you back at the illusion stage. *shrug* I can only speak to what I've seen and read about it.

There is a different theory regarding the new Treasure Coffer system. Once a person opens a Coffer, and receives an item (either a Quest item, or a gil/prize), a cooldown time period begins. During the cooldown period, all subsequent Coffers which spawn will be "illusionary" Coffers. If a person who is not on a Quest attempts to open an "illusionary" Coffer, the Coffer will disappear, and the person will not receive any gil/prize. The person will still possess their Coffer Key. However, if a person who opens the "illusionary" Coffer IS on a Quest which requires the Coffer, that person WILL receive the Quest-related item. In other words, during the cooldown period, only players on relevant Quests are eligible to receive items from the "illusionary" Coffers. After the cooldown period expires, any existing "illusionary" Coffer in the zone reverts to a "real" Coffer. People who are not on a Quest can receive gil/prize from "real" Coffers only.

I am pretty sure this is a measure the STFU has initiated in order to keep RMT from camping coffers for gil. The reason why those without quests flagged are unable to open coffers, even if they haven't opened a coffer, is probably because RMTs would be able to send out mule after mule after mule to the same areas every 5 minutes to locate coffers and obtain an item or gil prize. That, and one RMT would not be able to run to different zones to open coffers in different areas.

But this is all just speculation--I'm making a guess from what I've read. Don't take my word for it~

Do you really think it's fair that a 75 THF can run around and pick them over and over while a 50 something is sneaking and invising around ***that will 2 shot them to try and get ONE?
Yes. Stop crying. I had friends that did that as 50 thf.
If I recall, I wasn't the one crying about coffers being illusions in the first place...


This is true. You were not. My bad.

Moar Necro Bump!

BRDs and Mage Ballad II
It's a sad song of the illusory coffers along with the Karen-ing of those who don't play BRD demanding Refresh.

it would be nice if they added vendors for all spells, kind of an outdated concept at this point. if they wanted to curb people from popping coffers on spawn for gil and denying people who were doing AF the chance to get a coffer, fine. but when that same coffer is the only source of a scroll in the entire game, no bueno.

I used to sell ballad2 scrolls frequently, too. can pos to all the coffer spawns in under a minute and potentially make 1m+ for 5k gil investment. risky of course.
