In-Game Time: Don't remember.
Steps: Upon speaking with the Millitia Outrider and joining the "behest" for the Garlean Invasion, the chest containing deaspected crystals spawned immediately. I was able to open the chest, and obtained the crystals. I was then able to rejoin the event, and another chest spawned, containing yet another set of crystals. I was able to join a third time, and the chest spawned yet again - however I refrained from touching it and completed the event before opening the final chest.
I believe it would have been possible to continue to join and have a chest immediately spawn - allowing for incredible amounts of deaspected crystals to be accumulated.
This needs to be looked at immediately, as some players may be using this glitch to obtain unfair amounts of these crystals - which could then be exchanged for elemental shards and crystals at the NPC - allowing them to gain vast amounts of gil. This could be very harmful to the economy, and the event should probably be shut down until the issue can be found.
