Thanks so much for showing this in a video. I was getting really overwhelmed going over how many poetics, GC seals or gil I would need to spend to get the crystal sands if I went the other routes.

Thanks for posting this! I needed something to grind for my Sands as I have been spending all my poetics on the umbrite.

6/50 tonight. It does work, thanks!

Ty!!! This worked for me :D

Ty mate! Still works :)

For those doing this now and are looking for some more detailed info instead of "did or didn't work." *As of 7/19/2020* I burned through 100 allowances on this one levequest standing in the spot described in the video. I ended up with 10 Vilekin, of course giving me a chest spawn rate of 10%. There were a couple of extra chest spawn locations not mentioned in the video, and you can still see them all from that spot on the rock just fine. Based on my singular experience it appears the chance for chests to spawn is quite low. That being said, I MAY do this once more when my allowances refill and if I do I will try to update this comment with the outcome of that. Compared to almost every other way of collecting these this is still the easiest/cheapest but it will require an extreme amount of patience.

I got 16/100 and 3 of those where on the last 3 I did in a row thanks for this

thanks. Gonna try this now. I hope it still works.

Just did this a while ago and in 100 allowances I got 17 pieces. For people who don't use their Leves I suggest use this method unless you see a better way that is.

How many crystal sand do you need to level to the next weapon

I love ur kitty!

Where did you get that hat?

How is called that dance emote and where do you got it?

amazing thank you i got 20 on 95 allowances it just pure luck .

still works 67/100! great work!

ok i know the video is old but what are your gloves??? (glam)

This works! I have gotten 20 chests from 98 leve quests, on 13 May 2020. Guys, dont complain already, it's just one of the many ways to get some sand crystals, not ALL. You still need to combine it with other ways. What more could you ask for when you literally just sit in one place & swing your camera around & you have the chance to get the chests? Be grateful bro

As of patch 6.08 I got 17 Amber-encased Vilekin from 100 levequests. It's a good method if you have 100 spare levequests you're not using Edit: UPDATED SPAWN POINTS - Chests appear closer to Moghome and I found that none appeared north of the rock where the OP recommends standing...

24 out of 99 as of June 2021 for me

thanks brotha growin the anima was mindfucking me as to how to find the items

Hands down the easiest way if you don't want to grind Matron, or need blues for something else.

as of today i had 10 in 50leves in idlshyre named dance magic something... im still doing it now doing the other remaining 50

Either this was nerfed into the ground or just a troll, spent 100 allowences for count them.......3 chests, but hey in 24 hours i MIGHT get 1 more sand, yeah... Totaly fast

I am so happy they made it possible to get Crystal Sand with just Tomestones. Just gotta find the merchant that sells it >.>

its been nerfed, don't bother.

4/27 so square prob nerfed this into the ground....

Ich habe 8 aus 90 Versuchen bekommen, das ist hart. Im deutschen heisst die Quest btw: Sturmangriff auf die Drachen

Square most likely nerfed this, I tried it and didn't see any chest

Don't waste your time guys

11/90

2021-12 - Post Endwalker launch... Get 7 on 99 leves. Stopped spawn chest after 20° leve +/- Unlucky or no :P

i got 18 from 99 leves

16/99

10 / 66

13/99

Its fixed....

3/50 as of 03/01/2023

I got 11/99

wish you had explained where exactly that guy was located so I didn't have to search everywhere... but thank you.

This works NIT AT ALL

This doesnt even work. I spent 50 allowances and didnt see one chest.

Not sure if this even works anymore, I'll try something else. The rate is trash.

4/50

Isn't that considered as a bug abuse?

This dose not work. I have used 80 leves and got 7 chests to spawn. Take this down or update it @Mango Seven

doesnt work
