Earning Seals -- Suggestions Please

[Otaku]

Spamming Toto-rak is by far the fastest way to make seals
There are a few guides out there but here's the short version to get all chests
1. Get all 6 chests
2. Open all gates
3. Kill all mites
4. Under 25mins
5. Gold chest from boss
There is also a "secret" to opening the chests at the end, I'm not going to post it but do some digging and ask around
Hope this helps

Kill all mites

I'm certain that's not the trigger for the 4th chest on the left. So far my friend and I believe it is one of the two bombs past the first (south) gate that are near the cluster of 4-5 blue roselings.

I can confirm this. Ran totorak in a duo last night. Did not kill a single mob in the entire dungeon except for those 2 bombs. Got the first chest. So it isn't a certain percentage of mobs. It isn't killing all djiggas. It isn't killing all puddings. It is either both, or one of those 2 bombs

Funny thing is I've had the "mob" chest pop by killing only these 3 Cell Mites (they're after the first photocell in the final stretch if you head west from the gate). And on the contrary, I've had the chest not pop by killing everything EXCEPT for these pictured mites.

Maybe it's a random selection of mobs.

[Magnesium02]

Maybe it depends on
a) the grand company of the person
b) wether the party is a mix of grand companies
c) the ranks of the players in their companies
d) wether the party is a duo, trio or quad
e) the order in which the photocells are picked up
f) the server you are on
g) the moon phase

But I have definitely had it triggered by those two bombs

[Jacien]

I definitely have it triggered by these three Cell Mites at 16:30 of this vid.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's either or.

it has been proven that there are 4 mobs that can be killed indapendantly each run for the last chest,
- Kill all 3 groups of Tainted Lice
- Kill 2 bombs in second area

- Kill 3 mitelings in last area
- Kill all Puddings (I only kill the one)

I kill the one Pudding at the bottom of (6,5) in the hall going north to a dead end.

If you have the time and cash, turning in fish can get you 500 per stack and you can turn in 3000-5000 every 24 hours

As for the NMs, there are only a few that hold a 500 worth

but yes, picking 2 nms close to each other with one being a 500 worth is a good plan if you dont have a partner for TOTO or gif to get the seal exchange items
