Alchemist's torque
luck ;; perseverance is the only surefire way
Also forgot to mention that I opened about 35 brown caskets and failed on 8 of them.

If only SE made it so Treasure casket kupowers affect sky. I don't know or get why they never allow that
Well I have been doing the second page and even if someone helps you the mobs die so fast that the problem with that would be the repops and you have to walk a lil bit too between rooms
I tried the "get help" method. Someone eventually decided that they wanted the item because I was "too far away" and the chest might depop.
I have had ridiculously great luck with these torques (sorry guys, not trying to rub it in, really), and I always go to certain GoV areas depending on what else I can get done. For example, I have a 99 WAR, but I haven't unlocked all of the Quest WS's (it's a new job to 75+, sorry). So I'll usually take my WAR or whatever other job I can use that might need exp and start killing pages. Depending on the job level determines where I'll go. I've done Gustav for the earring, inside Sky for ring, cauldron for the torque, other sky area for torque, etc.etc. you get the point.
So, ultimately my advice is this: Go there with some OTHER goal in mind. If you get the torque, great bonus! If you don't, try again another day when you're breaking a Nyzul weapon or something. 50 brown caskets after... and lizard skins!! :(
I went on drg to farm mine. Got book buffs and popped a rcb because the plan was to just walk in and murder everything... but I killed 1 weapon and got it. After that, I went to get the smithing one but gave up after 4 hours.
With any other chests that have gear, it really just seems like luck to me. 7-8 hours or so.
I did weapons down where people fight Uptala now. Using pages. Obviously. Need to get a leather one for my mule soon. That'll be fun. After 80 brown caskets and 1 week I dont know if it's healthy to stay there tbh -.-
dont worry we wont give up! we spent a week trying to farm it! we will try again!! >:O NEVER GIVE UP
Is it Really Daxicana o.o ????? Is it you !! Long time no see!
if by long time you mean the we are standing together in port jueno in the same party? then yes..yes it has been!

It just takes forever, some people are lucky other people not so much...
The main thing is keep with it, make sure casket power is maxed at 5 and to go when Kupo Powers = mystery boxes. Other than that kill a ton of mobs and solve as many boxes as you can. The torque can drop in a 5-clue or 6-clue chest, it doesn't matter. One last thing, on BG some geniuses came up with this Gem to help you solve the chests. All it'll do is help you narrow things down to a best guess. Bad clues can still make guessing ridiculous but hey point is to up your % of chests correctly solved. Good luck man! I spent Four straight days in Ve'Lugennon (Since Prowness doesn't reset when you log out in zone) to get mine. I was leeching my friend's character off Statues (Getting Zip is a bonus).
My only tip is cap Casket and just keep killing. I always use max clues then use the last chance to guess the number. Other than that, nothing much and pray the ones you do open has the neck. GL on your caskets. Kupo Powers don't work in sky sadly :/
Necro Bump Detected!
[169 days between previous and next post]i got mine today on 5th chest D:
This is where people hate me.
Got it during a voidwatch run where people were doing trials while waiting on for the uptala group to gather together. Chest popped, unlocked, there was the torque, and I snagged it before anyone else could (to be fair, I was the highest lvl alchemist there at 100...) and the group was not happy with me, and understandably so. 0/infinity on every other special item though. Karma tis a ***. took me gd ages possibly weeks i lvled a mule on same accnt got him to sky and even lvled gs so he could make vivified mythril from all the ore, made a lot of gil and eventually got it, dboxed torque to main, mule has got me prousse ring, terminus earring, smith torque, potestas bomblet x3, leathercraft torque, fishers torque so far
spent about 4 days last week up there, not a single one... but about 500 elixers and potions ._.
I got mine while skilling up my puppet melee/magic and farming up mythril ore to make vivified mythril for RR earrings. Didn't even know it existed until I popped open a chest and there it was.
Got mine after 2 attempts, few hours each time. Did the camp at D-12, with 5 weapons, then 2 more NW of the room, which is enough for the page trial. Non stop killing as a relic DRK. Aim for Level 2-3 Casket Discovery and it's just a waiting game after that.
