glitch exploit bug with the aetherial black circle instance quests
Time: August 25, 2013 8:37 PM JST
Frequency: Every quest type with the black circle
World name: Balmung
Character name: Kiros Forsa
NPC name: Cloud Marble
Monster name: <unsure> coblyn
Class/Level: Arcanist 20
Party or solo: Solo
In-game time: Unsure
Area and coordinates: East Thanalan 13,20
Steps:
Didn't think much of it first time I did it till I finished the quest and then decided afterwards to pay attention to this in follow up similiar quests. Example Quest: Honoring the Dead, in East Thanalan.
The bug consists of when chocoboing to the quest if you run into the circle with the quest. Get an error stating "unable to initiate action". Thing is you can dismount right after this message inside of the black circle, the mobs will not spawn and you can collect the item you are sent to collect with no fight.
Did test though that if you dismount in the circle, walk out of the circle and then back in the monsters do spawn. but if you do not do such an action they will never spawn and make the quests easier than they should be,
