Farming Locations

Beaucedine Glacier (F-7) entrance ("Nue Tower")

The area consists of four floors. The entrance is at the top floor and players successively drop to the lower floors in various routes until reaching the bottom floor, where a staircase or an elevator leads back to the top floor.

Basement 3

Route Overview

From the ground floor, take the eastern route by dropping down at (I-8) (Drop "G"). From there you can take multiple routes, depending on where you drop down further. Each route passes spawns of 2 Snow Lizards, 4 Diremite Assaulters, 2 Frost Lizards and 2 Diremite Dominators.

Route Details

Beaucedine Glacier (G-9) entrance ("Ranguemont Tower")

The Cyan Chip is usually farmed here, and often the Gray Chip as well.

Ground Floor
Upper Floor
Basement

This map is a bit of a puzzle; the Stone Doors marked on the map require the matching Blue Bracelet or Green Bracelet (key item) to pass through.

  • When you touch the colored ???s in I-8 on the upper floor (Blue) and H-7 in the basement (Green), the door closes behind you and two Dolls spawn and attack.
    • The Blue ??? spawns Gargoyle-Kappa and Gargoyle-Iota; the Green ??? spawns Gargoyle-Lambda and Gargoyle-Mu.
    • The Dolls alternate between physical immunity and very high magical resistance, each doll changing weaknesses simultaneously. This is marked by a blue- or yellow-colored sheen on each mob, so be prepared to switch targets frequently.
    • When both dolls are defeated, click on the ??? again to obtain the Bracelet.
  • There are 6 Treasure Chest mimics in these locations:
    • Ground Level: In the F room and next to the chest spawn in NW G-8
    • Upper Level: Next to the chest spawn in SE H-9
    • Basement: In the E room and the room in NW G-8.
    • And in the lower basement at the bottom of the elevator (no map).
    • WHM spell barthundera seemed to cause these chests' death trap move to have only the poison or no effect when cast by a 75 WHM. The stun effect seemed to be no longer present. Data pool was about 10-12 chests fought.

Beaucedine Glacier (I-7) entrance ("Three Taru Tower")

This area consists of two floors that are linked by elevators. However, navigation is difficult in this tower since the layout changes dynamically and may also be bugged leading to some parts of it being inaccessible Verification Needed.
