Recently returned but having trouble getting into post 99 content, please advise ...

[Nyarlko]

Half of what you said is Japanese to me, lol. Vorseals? Never heard of them. Other than a few mentions here on forums of course.

I've literally done absolutely nothing in the Escha areas. So, you're saying that I just show up at Escha-Ru'aun, and get this "Elvorseal" status off the NPC? Is it free? Does it cost Silt or anything like that? etc.

Do I gotta be near the dragon? etc etc.

EDIT: So, after a bunch of digging around, finally found the info... wish SE woulda made some kind of newbie guide or something so that newbies would actually know what they're talking about, lol. And now half of the week is gone already. Ah well hope I can get at least one or two pieces.

Looks like you found some of your answers already on your own, which is a good thing! XD I'll still answer in case it helps someone else..

"Vorseals" are the zone buffs for RoV zones (Escha-Zi'tah, Escha-Ru'aun, Reisenjima). There are tons of 'em to collect... Each poppable "Geas Fete" NM has an associated vorseal that gets unlocked for purchase with silt from entry NPCs. There are also a huge portion which are unlocked by completing content outside of Eschas, like getting nation rank10s, completing expansion mission lines, chocobo racing, and other activities. (Suggest you reference the Escha page on bgwiki for the full discovered list if you are interested.. link here) The awesome thing about them is that they apply full strength to all of your pets and trusts and you regardless of your level! This means that if you go into Escha-Zi'tah at lv40, you get the same bonuses as if you were 99. Mobs in there range from 50-109, so this makes it the best zone to level your 2nd+ job in once you've gotten some vorseals stacked up.


Domain Invasion is totally free to participate in. I believe there is a level restriction, but don't remember what the minimum level is. The only other restriction on participation is that you have to have access to the zones to begin with.

The basic flow for Domain Invasion:
1. Talk to the npc near the entrance of the zone.
2. Get Elvorseal. The npc will offer to warp you to the dragon.
* When the dragon spawns, a 30min timer will pop up in the upper lefthand corner of your screen. If the dragon is not defeated within that timeframe, it will despawn. When it repops 15min later, it will have the same HP amount as when it despawned last.
3. Fight the dragon. :x This should go without saying, but you get nothing if the foe is not defeated.
* This is an ilvl119 open event, so any/all players who want to participate can. If you are newer to 119+ content and/or below ilvl119, then I highly suggest you keep a form of Reraise up at all times due to high damage AOEs. Trusts are callable even during combat, so take advantage of this!
*. So long as you are within the area defined by the glowy blue marker line things, you will get credit for the kill towards unlocking that dragon's vorseal when it dies. Even if you are dead when it happens.. So don't homepoint warp if it looks like others are going to be able to take it down! If the dragon is defeated, then any dead players will get a free Reraise as well.

I don't know what the population is like on your server, but on Asura, the dragons are all going down in 1-3min which makes it really easy to get kill credit right now. The campaign drops make it even better since you have a (small) chance of getting some really great gear even if you aren't able to contribute much due to gear/merits/JP.

Since the campaign is called "Dominion Invasion COFFER", is a coffer actually supposed to spawn? I note there was confusion about this a couple pages ago in this thread and nobody answered the person.

I've done 4 of these now and have gotten nothing but eschalixirs, silt and beads, so I just wanna make sure I'm not missing out or anything.

Also, wiki says you only pay the fee once for a vorseal, but yet wiki ALSO says that a vorseal only lasts for 1 hour? How does that work, exactly?

It's random if you get gear or not from them. I've noticed I get gear more by doing absolutely nothing, compared to using trusts and actually fighting the wyrms.

As for vorseals, its permanent, but they wear in an hour, so you just rezone and they're back

No coffer spawns. The additional drops are just added to your personal loot / added directly to your inventory. (So make sure you have plenty of room before hopping on the train!) Sometimes the lag/chatspam can overload the chat log so nothing is displayed, but the loot still drops into your inventory, so if you don't see even 'lixirs in your chat log make sure to doublecheck your bag. Sadly, the drop rate on the campaign drops is not stellar, so going 0/4 is not surprising in the least. Just keep plugging away and you should get something cool eventually. ^^;;

You pay once to buy the vorseal which unlocks it permanently for your character. When you enter an escha zone, you get a buff also called "vorseal" (which includes the effects from all purchased vorseals,) that lasts for 1hr from the time you zone in. After spending an hour in the zone, the buff wears off, but if you rezone it will get refreshed to the full duration.
