o,ok

* *

did it in like 12-14min last night about 6 times.
mnk? why? 2 blm, or 2 conj can do this so much faster. also music sucks.

I thought the music was good. *shrug*

It's about solo, not duo
I think

thank you for your response.
I did solo this. this vid has been done by one player.

and music is a taste.
if you don't like it, mute it.

nice work, OP!

It's not worth watching if the music isn't cool (Thus, you could have at least named the music in the OP). Also, I didn't even click the video because the post had no content. I'm not going to just click a URL in a blank post with no details or explanations. What you did isn't exactly an achievement. You're playing a dungeon built for 2-4 mid level characters at the maximum level.

what OP did is solo about 3-4k company seals in under 20 mins, then post the video for you to use as a guide.

and you're throwing a fit about it. why?

Who's throwing a fit? I'm certainly not. Stating an opinion != "throwing a fit."

If the video is supposed to be a guide, where's the actual guide to go with it? There's no tips, or explanations, just someone showing off to some crappy music.

three words: watch and learn

Two words: No thanks.

that's fine. go pointlessly flail elsewhere, then.

Lol, you're just like everyone else I've ever encountered form BG... rude, high and mighty.

Do you really need to make such pointless comments? You're just making the problem that you're complaining about worse.

thanks Felis and fusional
at least someone understand why the seals are important in this patch.

Who doesn't understand why seals are important?

By posting what I said, that means I don't understand the value of company seals? Well, it doesn't. I just expect more information when I click on a post. Anytime I see a thread and find nothing but a URL, I feel like the poster is just trying to solicit views for monetized youtube channels or generate website traffic. Details are everything. I would have been much more inclined to view it if you gave more information.

Toto-rak is good, but not THAT good
From the video, barbut and 5 chests were only items shown so...
200 + 250x5 = 1450 in 20 minutes
But be sure to turn things in after each solo run or you'll lose out on doubles very quickly ~_~

come on, there's a only straight way to do this dungeon and there are many good guides on google already.
you would find some if you did search it, for instance, http://xivpads.com/?-Guides&Guide:Th...ws_of_Toto-Rak

and still, you don't know the value of seals in this patch.

yeah the average per run is around 2000 seals.
there were random green items dropped to an another character while collecting run chests
and in the boss room, some chests give us 2 items per chest!

yeah, thanks for the correction. i was thinking of the 3-4k seals/hour average

Toto-Rak - 19mins 5 Chest, One Runner

How much more information do you need?

holy QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

Good job Lux! The music is fine, ha.

Thanks for the video.

Trolls..........

It's a fairly decent time considering it's solo so you eventually do end up with more seals... But I still prefer to duo it BLM just so I have someone to do it with.

I was not aware that Toto-Rak was a solo entry now. nice work, your video is fine but why did you replace the good SE music with that terrible drivel?

funny how toto rak is the number one instance now since you get the most seals i do it too. reason theres a need for level caps in dungeons

Guys kick back relax, listen to the music and learn that if you have a 50 mnk and you wanna try running toto-rak a different way then the standard LOL_NEEDS_MORE_BLACKMAGE mentality! If you dont like the music then turn the video off no one is holding a gun to your head and please stop forcing blackmages down everyone's throat. Have a nice day and enjoy your weekend!

1. Music makes me think I'm back playing Sonic on SegaCD, like american jpop ><
2. Can it be done on MNK? sure, but CNJ/WHM/THM all faster
3. You don't show the order you open the chests in, don't know if that's on purpose or you don't know the trick, can get ~10 items from 5c alone

i really dont know that. please tell us

Monk+fist of wind = very fast run speed. Pop featherfoot whenever its up for all the mp you need. Aura pulse mobs. Not sure why BLM/WHM would be faster.

well I learned something, for some reason I thought you had to kill 90-95% of the mobs to get one of the end chests

Last I checked you still need 2 people to enter Toto so "soloing" it isn't really as amazing as it seems.

just kill all jellys to make far left chest pop

I believe I know how much I know the value of company seals better than you know how much I know it.

In other words, you are stating I don't know something when I've never displayed any lack of knowledge of the subject- largely because it hasn't been discussed.

Why would you think I "don't know the value" of seals just because I was critical of a person posting a topic with literally nothing but an off-site URL?

How much more information do you need?

Let me write the OP's post for you:

Quote:

Hello forumgoers! I'd like to share with you my latest achievement in Toto-Rak. I recorded this video:

<video URL>
In the video, I did this, and that. I did this here to save time and I did that there for this reason. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. I hope you enjoy it!

By the way, the music in the video is <Song> by <artist.>

---

That's how much information I need. Is it really that hard to write one or two sentences?

The content of the video or how easy/hard it is to understand is irrelevant. I will not click an off-site URL without at least a basic description of what I'm going to find at that URL. I don't care if it's a video of how to walk out the exit of Ul'Dah, or a photograph of your dog. You want me to click your link, you need to give me a reason. Since there was no info in the video and the topic title didn't sound like an achievement or something remarkable to me, I chose to be critical of the thread and ask for more information to be posted. Of course, that didn't happen and I just get heckled and treated as if I know nothing about an unrelated topic when I didn't even discuss that topic, much less demonstrate a lack of knowledge of it.

Apparently it's silly and stupid to ask that someone actually put content in a new topic.

No, it's a reason for more difficult dungeons to be more rewarding than easier ones. Level caps are bad, evil monstrosities.

If you do'nt mind, can you tell me what testing you have done to prove the jelly theory? In my experience it is one or both of the bombs near the last photocell in the 2nd area that trigger the chest. You killed one of them around the 8 minute mark. Another person has the theory of the cell mites at the corner on the last area (around 17:15 on your video). Just curious as to why you think it is the jellies/puddings/flans

I have only heard of this "certain order to pop chests" one other time on these threads and ive searched like hell for this document of proof. if someone were to mention this method please explain how its done and not that it only exists. As for all 5 chests. Chest 1 open all chests throughout toto-rak i think theres 6?, Chest 2 collect all cells, Chest 3 unlock all routes to Shaula (chest 1, chest 2, and 3 are tied together) Chest 4 is the only one im a little hazy about Ive heard you kill all mobs on last floor and ive heard you kill all mites on last floor i choose to kill all mobs on last floor its just my preference. Chest 5 Beat Shaula and complete dungeon within 25mins. I DO NOT kill any mobs until i reach the final floor with mites on it. I aggro everything and get chests while wife checks cells. we got 6, 5 chests in a row doing this method in about 15-20 mins as a dragoon and bard level 50. I have not done toto-rak since 1.22 came out and did it for 7hrs straight and i do not know if anything has changed since 1.22a. I hope this helps anyone in need and thank you for taking the time to read this.

i've tried a lot of method, kill all chigoes, flowers, puddings, bombs, lanterns. the only thing that work 100% for me is to kill all the puddings.

i just added the <pos> and timestamp for puddings in my video detail. try check it out :>

Hello little taru.

Thank you for posting the video showing a cute little monk taru running around. The music is quite pleasing to listen and the perspective is nice for understanding your route and what you did.
