Temple of Ugglepih coffer key (rant)

Re: Temple of Ugglepih coffer key (rant)

The worst part of all is that you go through all that effort for what is quite probably the least useful piece of AF for the job.

By the time you can equip it, you've been able to use the austere robe (which is currently only like 350k on Ramuh, well within the range of being able to afford for most players who have a little determination) for 8 levels and are unlikely to want to switch. Players who already own or have the gil to buy a vermillion cloak are going to want to have both the cloak and the austere robe to swap between depending upon the situation. Nobody is going to want to use the AF shirt over either piece though. I guess the horn isn't exactly useful either for the exact same reason (the austere hat is only like 20k on Ramuh).

But I'm somebody who has to have the full set of AF for any job I have 60+, and ever since I had other high level jobs to use to OBTAIN the AF, I actually tend to get it as early as humanly possible. I think I had my entire set of WHM AF when my WHM was 52ish. Plus with the AF storage NPC, it's handy to have the whole set so you can put it away if you're not going to be using it for awhile.

Still, it's frustrating to think that you've put forth SO MUCH EFFORT to get a piece that you're never really going to use anyway.

Although I do have to admit I've used it on 60-capped stuff on occassion ever since I sold both my austere robe and my vermillion cloak a few months back, shortly after I got my yinyang. Generally I don't keep stuff on hand that I would only use for level capped stuff, since I so rarely participate in anything that isn't uncapped.

I spent 6 to 10 hours there to get the coffer key for my map.
I spent another 6 to 10 hours in Den or Rancor and still no drop yet
I think I have really bad luck on getting coffer keys...

I'd just like to thank you for making this thread... when I was running through the Temple to help some friends with ZM4, I saw this drop off of the Temple Guardian and I snatched it. My SMN is only 32 at the moment, but I know its going to be my next job after I get Fenrir and Diabolos so I went ahead and got it.

I spent 3 days camping the coffer. I got the key easily with the help of a few friends. THe coffer is hell. Subbing Nin, I hung out at the zone on the coffer area.
I see 2 gilsellers camping some NM in front of the zone. Every 30 minutes, I shout in there that I would pay up 2x the money offered by the coffer (10k i think) if they can tell me where it is. I probably finished around 70 shihei running back and forth. Once in awhile I ask anyone whos in the temple if they have seen it, some wouldnt even reply, others would say they have no idea. Cant really rely on strangers for this.

Finally 2 people from my LS came to help me out. One of them managed to target the coffer and it is behind that stupid prelate door. We didnt have a prelate key and they didnt want to risk throat stab. I suggested one target a mob inside and cast a spell, making the mob open the door and zone it. It worked! One mob came out, opening the door and I rushed in and got my coffer. No deaths or whatsoever.

A friend of mine (who is a level 75 SMN) helped me get the coffer. It was in the last spawn point (assuming what he said about being able to see coffers behind the prelate door being true), which ended up being on the 2nd floor of the room with the NM doll that walks up and down the steps. Hurray!

Re: Temple of Ugglepih coffer key (rant)

Here's a little help with the doors:

1. Stand to the side(not where the door opens),
2. take off invis,
3. start casting invis,
4. check the door (before the spell finishes),
5.check with the camera to see if the coffer is in there (don't need to actually go in)
6. If the coffer is in, go in and wait till the mob has it's back to you and pop it

I wouldn't know why you would need a Evoker's Body piece since the Austre's set is much better for the body. I have been wearing Austre's since level 50 all the way to 75. Sure it makes me look like a bum, but it was the best spent piece of equipment back in the day that I had for smn.

I think that you should consider not getting the body piece until you can take on stalkers without any problems at all. I didn't get my body piece until I was really really bored at level 70 one day.

Hell I don't even have the Evoker's gloves, another useless piece.
Just get your self to a higher level, learn how to play your character, do some Sky research, do some sky linkshell research, join a dynamis LS and your set. As long as you help in HNM's with your dynamis LS they will be happy and reward you with relic pieces.
I'm missing 2 relice pieces, (damn you to hell sandy you stupid elvaan loving hippies), and the horn.

The main equipment for SMN's end game are:

Evoker's Ring
Evoker's Spats (legs) normal or +1
Summoner's Pigaches (feet)
YinYang Robe or Summoner's Doublet or Austre's robe (if you can get a Penance Robe better for you but I think it was like 40 mil for 1)
Summoner's Bracers
HQ staffs, mainly need Pluto and Apollo, the rest you can just use normal staffs. Your avatar's are going to be put away anyways, but you need the Apollo for soloing, and the Pluto's for Fenrir killing decent challenge or easy prey.

Point is, you can skip this body piece and it wouldn't kill you to be a better summoner.
