So do you get any units from bonus chests if you've already earned your 50k weekly (assuming you have no carry over) or are they subject to the 50k weekly cap?

Literally do anything at all. They need any reward at all for individual contribution. I don't care if it's a 0.1% chance at an upgrade item or 10k points for limbus or anything at all.

If it takes 10 12 fomor NMs to get a full bar, that's 2 additional chests, Tier 1 and 2 NMs are an additional chest each and I assume Ultima/Omega have enough HP if you do the majority of the dmg to get chest there as well (maybe one of the smaller servers will chime in for this info)

So that's up to 5 additional chests per month! And one of them being an guaranteed 5k chest

6+ shards
5 chances at matters
Slew of craft mats and parts
And 15-20k extra units

Per zone even! Should be estatic!

**These values are also under the assumption your party/alliance can do at least 80-90% of the NMs HP**

Yes the units are subject to the weekly cap, but will increase your max capacity

513k is the max, which is increased by opening chests. I doubt people have made a bot that climbs the towers and opens the chest, so...probably not automation.

It's only 6-10hrs a week depending how good your efficiency is in party/solo, not that different than daily sortie, not that farfetched

I didn't see or experience anything unusual today nor have I heard anyone else mention it.

Only seen that on 1/51 characters but if you
1. Go in
2. Grab the mog item
3. Log out in the garden
4. Log back in

The shiny object will be there but not targetable. Saw this on several chars.

I've previously seen the flotsam sparkle appear when flotsam wasn't ready, probably some kind of bug - haven't seen that today or since update, but it happens occasionally.

There's something you can plant in the furrow that matures into an earth elemental when ready for harvest - I don't remember what it is. Try harvesting it.

Ok. That makes sense. I did harvest it and then the sparkle appeared in the furrow

Oh, that's another harvestable thing. I'd guess earth elemental is a dryad root and the sparkle is a revival root.

If you plant a Dryad Root, it will show up as a sparkle in the furrow until it matures, then it becomes a floating Earth Elemental on the furrow. Dryad roots can be harvested a few times too, becoming a sparkle after a harvest.
