It sucks that weapons and armor's share trials, 5 max yeah?
Personally if you do lots of weapon trials and what not i'd wait to get all 8, or close to to start the trial/turn seals in.

Yup, each quest has unique seal drops and each seal drops from just one quest.
So for blu legs which I'm currently after, it's Yurims quest... The drop rate on those things is ***, I have no stones from having Brooder not drop shoes for me so many times, and the item needed is ~50k on AH... That's 50k every attempt to get the seal I want...

Added a quest for SAM, BST, THF, WHM Head seals in Attohwa. This leaves only one repeatable quest in Attohwa, so I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's for the BLM, NIN, COR, and DRG grouping. I'll change it if that turns out to be wrong.
That should be everything, then. I'll make a continuation post in 3 months when the Hands and Body come out.
Hope this stuff helps!

Edited: Scratched that WAR since I might have gotten that from another quest in the same area. NIN PUP and COR I'm sure of though.
Also got lancer seal: feet (DRG?) from this quest now <.<

I've done it twice. First time I got Scarlet Abyssite of Merit, which increases hp/mp/stat buffs (my blu has 2kHP and 1kMP in abyssea now), second time I got nothing.
You can't do it with chests you find, it has to be a chest dropped from a mob, and, I believe, it has to be the highest tier chest. So the only way you can really spam it is by leeching off an exp alliance. Fight until your azure is capped, open a chest (NOT with a key) to get the key item, hand it in. Zone, re-activate quest, open another chest that your alliance has made drop, repeat.
that... sucks > .> wish Cor was the sausage quest. lucky *** lol

Well, turns out it just has to be not tier I, but yeah, the method I out-lined is still probably your only real chance of getting it done. I tried for about half an hour before someone enlightened me that blu doesn't drop there... Finished it 4-5 times, got one blm seal...

Urg, starting to really hate the 'An Acrididaen Anodyne' quest in Abyssea-Attohwa... I mean getting the fame was ok, but trying to catch the Rockhopper is so frustrating! >_< Has taken 10+ minutes sometimes, and to end up repeating this over and over and over just for a chance of RDM head seals drives me crazy lol.
Must find a abyssea LS >.>

Yeah some of these quests just aren't feasible. I'm not even going to try for the SAM Head seals. You need 3 items just to complete the quest, and they each sell for 50k on my server. Given that I had to do Cookbook nearly a hundred times to get my 8 Pant seals, that's over 15 million gil just for head. No wai. I'll kill NMs.
By Poonjabi 2010-09-14 12:45:59
I spammed the Cookbook of Hope Restoring quest with Samurai Leg Seals in mind. It took me 10 stones, and probably about 100 tries, but I got my 8 Seals. I also got 8 Whm (Saving), 10 Bst, and 9 Thf (Thf/Bst both tossed).
It's time consuming, but in the end I'd say it's worth it if you have the patience and traverser stones (I had 17 stored when I started) and simply want to solo your seals. I also capped fame in the area. Having Conflux 00/01/03/07/08 obviously speed up the process (3 minutes to complete ??? outside of colibri - usually just waited for the 10 minute block for colibri to be over to save my time). It's real easy, just gotta be patient.

Arggg frustrating doing this sausage quest =(
7 DRK, 7 RDM , 5 RNG , 2 PUP (the one I need) after like 12 stacks traded.. Just venting..
Oh.. I did have an issue with the +3 sausages, was wondering if anyone else ran into. I got up to 2 stacks of them (while cooking them).. any more after that, I got the message... but didn't get a sausage. So started stopping at +2 and got those fine.. Weird?

I know mining points move on their own if unmined, not sure if logging points do the same, if they do, it's not as often. If you really want a logging point to be in a better spot, you'll have to log the other points to make them move.

Are you joking me? You have to get chests from mobs and the chests HAVE to be highest tier for the quest?
Edit: nvm I solod some mobs and got the supplies on first chest that dropped

Sorry if this has been answered already somewhere but does light strength determine if the AF feet drop? Or is it hopefully random from any gold chest?

Just has to be higher than bottom tier. But even still, attempting this solo, I had to kill ~8 mobs (all magic kill) before a chest even dropped at all, and either my abyssea kicked in or that was enough to pump it up to tier 2, but that's a lot to do considering how many times you'd have to spam it. I did try it with an alliance for a little while, wasn't the greatest alliance ever, but it was okay. I completed the quest probably 4-5 times in about half an hour, but that also included some misunderstanding of the other alliance members (getting them to understand and agree to what you're doing is probably the hardest part), and a few time chests, so at least I still exited with 120 minutes.

You need a Murex Spicule for the PLD/MNK/BLU/BRD Quest Unidentified Research Object, which goes for 100k on this server...
So not looking forward to that.

I just did this for the first time. Solo about 4 bats and got an exp chest to drop, got the key item with that chest. Can you use keys to open the chest and still get the key item btw?
I thought I'd try and collect all the known information about the new AF3 gear into a single post, for easy reference.
So far, only the hat, legs, and feet are available. All three are upgradeable through a new Magian moogle in Ru'Lude Gardens. There are two tiers, +1 and +2: both upgrades require gathering items of various types. (See below for locations.)
(Edit: As of the December update, I've added body, hands, and accessories here.)
Base gear:
(1) The heads can be purchased for cruor in the new Abyssea areas (Misareaux, Attohwa, and Vunkerl) from the Cruor Prospector -- see below for the specific listings. They run for only a few thousand cruor, so getting the base hat is a cakewalk.
(2) The legs are purchased for Resistance Credits from the Bastion Prefect in each of the new areas. If you don't know, a short word about Bastion: it's like Campaign, except the defense structures (Martellos) are powered up by performing Resistance Operations, and you get exp (and credits) when the mobs die instead of at the end of the event. The Ops also give cruor and credits. You can get to the Bastion outpost by warping to the #00 conflux, which is automatically activated for you when you turn on the conflux near the Abyssea entrance. You get Ops from the Resistance Sapper, and Pennant (which lets you participate in battles) from the Bastion Prefect. The Bastion Prefect sells you the pants for 1,000 credits.
Please note that Bastion is very difficult to actually participate in if the Martellos are not buffed up: the battles will be short and you will get close to no credits, because you will not have time to kill anything. It is therefore strongly recommended that you do the Ops. Bring your friends. You can each complete one Op every Vanadiel day. The more people do this, the easier it will be to get EXP (and credits, and pants) from Bastion.
(3) The feet drop randomly from Gold chests in the new Abyssea areas.
There is a consistent pattern for which jobs' AF3 can be found in which zones. This applies to all three pieces, including the Feet, so don't waste your time hunting Gold chests in the wrong area:
Vunkerl: BLU, COR, DRG, NIN, PUP, SAM, SCH, SMN, DNC
Misareaux: BRD, BST, DRK, PLD, RNG
Attohwa: BLM, MNK, RDM, THF, WAR, WHM
Upgrade items:
IMPORTANT: Trade the upgrade items to the Delivery Crate by the Magian Moogle -- NOT to the Moogle himself. You may begin depositing items in the Crate before you've collected them all. When you've deposited all of them, then trade the equipment itself to the Moogle. This will complete the trial.
(1) The +1 upgrade items needed for the Magian trials are Seals corresponding to the AF3 gear (e.g. Goetia Seal: Head for BLM hat) and drop from various NMs in the new Abyssea areas. Wiki has the specific listings. The drops go by region:
---- Vunkerl NMs drop the Feet seals.
---- Misareaux NMs drop the Leg seals.
---- Attohwa NMs drop the Head seals.
The seals are also randomly rewarded for completing certain repeatable ( !) Abyssea quests. They're given according to the above pattern: Vunkerl quests give Feet seals, Misareaux quests give Legs, etc. It's not a 100% reward rate and there is a range of jobs associated with each quest (they go in groups of 4 which are consistent across regions), so be prepared to spam them.
(Edit: As of the December update, all Resistence Ops now have the potential to randomly reward seals.)
Here's a complete list of quests and the seals they reward. Some of them require Abyssea fame.
Vunkerl (Feet):
The Boxwatcher's Behest (Deraquien, Base camp): WAR, SMN, SCH, DNC
Aqua Puraga (High Bear, Conflux #00): BLM, NIN, COR, DRG
Bad Communication (Ferdechiond, Conflux #00): THF, BST, WHM, SAM
His Bridge, His Beloved (Cheupirudaux, Western Camp): MNK, PLD, BLU, BRD
Scattered Shells, Scattered Mind (Aladoverre, Western Camp): PUP, RNG, DRK, RDM
Misaraeux (Legs):
Cookbook of Hope Restoring (Jonette, Conflux #03): WHM, THF, BST, SAM
Unidentified Research Object (Yurim, Base camp): BLU, PLD, BRD, MNK
Smoke over the Coast (Hungry Wolf, Conflux #03): PUP, RNG, RDM, DRK
Soil and Green (Sieglinde, Base camp): WAR, SMN, SCH, DNC
Wanted: Medical Supplies (Yasuji, Conflux #03): BLM, DRG, NIN, COR
Attohwa (Head):
Looking for Lookouts (Colti, Field Camp): WAR, SCH, DNC, SMN
An Acrididaen Anodyne (Yoran-Oran, Base camp): RDM, DRK, PUP, RNG
Flown the Coop (Brutus, Field Camp): MNK, BRD, PLD, BLU
Threadbare Tributlations (Ponono, Field Camp): WHM, BST, SAM, THF
An Offer You Can't Refuse (Garnev): BLM, DRG, NIN, COR
You need 8 of these seals for each piece of equipment upgraded.
(2) The +2 upgrade items are various Coins, Stones, Cards and Jewels that drop from "the big" NMs in the new Abyssea areas (the ones you see in the CS on entering the zone for the first time.) These NMs require Key Items to pop, which are found in Gold chests from the corresponding region.
You need 6 of them in all, but the specific items vary from piece to piece. Wiki has the listings under Magian Trials.
---------------------
Here are the AF3s themselves, complete with stats for each upgrade. DDDDRRRRRROOOOOOOOOLLLL. :D~~
