To clarify the chest/coffer change. NOTHING changed as far as popping coffers for gil is concerned. SE made it so that if someone pops the chest/coffer for whatever reason "fake" ones appear that still allow those who are after quest/map items to obtain them. The repop time on "real" coffers is still the exact same as it was before. One hour.
Wrong. There are no 'fake' coffers/chests, per se. You will only get the 'illusion' notification if someone has opened the chest/coffer for items/gil (i.e. not quest/map/AF) in the past hour. If you get the 'illusion' notification, the coffer/chest will respawn in 5 minutes.
The 'illusion' notification has nothing to do with how long you've been logged on or how recently you've opened a chest/coffer, though I wouldn't be surprised if they put some kind of additional restriction on low-level characters and/or those on trial accounts.
I don't currently know if opening an illusion restarts that hour long timer, however. That would really suck if it did.
