Aetherial Gate Guide

Ranking up the views nicely, maybe i could embed piccies in there for you, and links to the Map section.

I tried to do it myself, but the images kept coming up saying that theyd been moved or deleted, idk if its me or photobucket. can i upload pics directly into the guide?

Hmm, I added one from your Photobucket links, Widow Cliffs and it seemed to load fine, I noticed some links missing quotations, like href=link instead of href="link" and the the image tag might not work if done in similar style, has to be src="imageurl"

I can put in the rest similar if you think it would look neat.

Also to answer your questions about uploading images directly to guide, if you go to Manage > Media, in dropdown there is a category for "Guides", any images you upload here will appear below the Edit Guide box, and clicking them will add in the html for you!

Thanks for the help. I've updated the guide and i think it looks pretty damn fabulous now.

Nice guide. Something to note though for the ppl with lancer and archer, dread spike can absorb a 9999 hit, and decoy evades any ranged attack or magic attack once, so a lot of the places i was able to buff up and choco through to the gate before death, oakwood tunnel for example. Buffed and ran right past ahrimans.

I've gotta say... Lichenweed was way easier than Snakemolt for me. Went 1/1 on Licheweed with little issue, spent hours... literally hours trying to get Snakemolt the other day.
Lasthold was also a pain but getting the achievement for The Black Shroud is a damn nice feeling, especially since I know all of the others are going to be WAY easier.

TBS and Coerthas down, smooth sailing from here.

Thanks for the info. At some point I do plan to update the guide with more skills that help with avoiding mobs besides sentinel.

I've heard a lot of ppl say the same, but for me, I got Snakemolt w/o dying, I guess it was just luck.

On another note, when I got this gate in 1.20, the first passage only had a drake, eft and raptor in it, but when I went back in 1.20a it had 3 boars, which made it somewhat harder. If someone notices the mobs change, comment here or on the guide so I can verify and change it accordingly.

I think the enemies near the start of Snakemolt have a large radius they can move in.

I've seen the Eft go as far as from right up to the room with the Malboros all the way to the entrance of Snakemolt. It seems to me that the pigs, the eft and the drakes can all move about that area as they wish so the assortment of enemies you get at the start my vary.
I could be wrong on this but I know at the very least that the pigs can go all the way to the start (to where you change servers) and the eft can go almost that far, maybe like 3 steps in on Chocobo after server transition is as far as I have seen it go.
I know the Drake can come as far as the first little archway/tunnel you see upon getting into Snakemolt (all of this assumes you're entering Snakemolt at the north end, closest to Traquil and Queen Bolete)

Yeah, and i suppose more ppl trying to get the gates means that they're gonna move the mob placement a lot due to getting aggro and running. As for snakemolt though, i don't remember seeing the eyes or morbols (or even the qiqirn) anywhere in snakemolt, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
