Talk:Escha Temporary Items

From FFXI Wiki

51 or less kills = Spy's Drink, Champion's Drink, Gnostic's Drink 216 or less kills = Catholicon

No NMs killed, bare minimum progress in missions of any sort, the following was available for purchase after entering Reisenjima for the first time (and not available when I entered Escha-Ru'aun shortly before to kill Balamor.):

  • Barbarian's Drink, Monarch's Drink, Oracle's Drink, Lucid Potion III, Lucid Elixir I

Possible they are linked to mission progress and not NMs killed.



Steadfast Tonic

Was able to purchase Steadfast Tonic prior to Kouryu kill Believe it was one of the Zi'Tah/Ru'Aun clears. Prismfang (talk) 14:59, 18 August 2017 (EDT)

Turns out I was right and wrong about Kouryu. See below. Prismfang (talk) 11:20, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Eschan Temp Acquisition

Decided to raise 3 new characters through RoV to test item acquisition.
As soon as they could enter Zi'Tah, I had to kill a few mobs to see the temporary item list (Affi's 10-silt fee).
There were 10 temps from the get-go but unless you mule silt-pouches from a same-account character, it is impossible to isolate whether killing mobs at this point unlocks another item.
PL'ed characters to 99 (without killing NMs or further mission progress) and noted some of them were gaining new temps from mobs killed.
Then decided to get Reisenjima access and noted 6 new temps upon reaching Escha Ru'Aun and Reisenjima, respectfully.
Surprisingly, it seems like "Rhapsody in Fuschia" granted 3 more temps.
Contrasting this with some friends who had cleared RoV but had not started aeonics, I am almost certain that the following temps come from "Rhapsody in Puce" or "Rhapsody in Ochre":

... however, I am blocked via Imprimatur's for further RoV progress at this time.

Next, I decided to try killing some NMs.
After noting that all Zi'tah tier 1's unlocked nothing, I decided to corroborate my Charm Buffer findings on Neak long ago.
Interestingly enough, I got the Charm Buffer from Yakshi on a fresh character, and after logging that character out and bringing a fresh one in, Maju unlocked the same item.
This led me to believe that Eschan temps are grouped by tier, and the T1's for each zone unlock nothing.
As such, I have not tested that every NM unlocks the following temporary items; however, I have confirmed the following in my test route (in bold) while previous entries are listed as well (in italics):

Escha Zi'Tah

  • Tier 2: Brittlis, Ionos, Kamohoalii, Nosoi, Sensual Sandy, or Umdhlebi
  • Tier 3: Fleetstalker, Shockmaw, or Urmahlullu
  • HELMs: (Alphuachra, Bucca & Puca), Blazewing, Pazuzu, or Wrathare

Escha Ru'Aun

  • Tier 2: Amymone, Hanbi, Kammavaca, Naphula, Palila, or Yilan
  • Tier 3: Duke Vepar, Pakecet, or Vir'ava
  • HELMs: Ark Angel EV, Ark Angel GK, Ark Angel HM, Ark Angel MR, Ark Angel TT, Byakko, Genbu, Seiryu, Suzaku, Kouryu, or Warder of Courage

Reisenjima

  • Tier 2: Bashmu, Gajasimha, Ironside, Old Shuck, Sarsaok, or Strophadia
  • Tier 3: Maju, Neak, or Yakshi
  • HELMs: Albumen, Erinys, Onychophora, Schah, Teles, Vinipata, or Zerde

So this accounts for most of the items on the list now barring the following items:

... while I do have them all on my main characters, I cannot confirm their current conditions but can otherwise guarantee that the temps are not acquired through specific NM kills or RoV progress.
Perhaps in time someone can. The time has come.

Final Note

The zone unlocks appear to be independent of paying Affi, Dremi, or Shiftrix their 10-silt fee.
Since I was pushing multiple characters through RoV missions, I decided to pay Dremi's character on one character and not on the other two.
Upon reaching Reisenjima, I paid Shiftrix's fee on those two characters and both Escha - Ru'Aun and Reisenjima temps were available. --Prismfang (talk) 11:20, 16 September 2018 (EDT)
