Reporting in 2021: Still works. I just did 100 runs and ended up with 21 Amber-encased Vilekin which is roughly a 20% drop rate, give or take. This got me 42 crystal sands. Total time to finish was around 1 hour. Definitely the fastest method I've come across so far, but you'll need to farm the rest of the sand some other way after your allowances run out. Also, I never got more than 1 chest per run. Hope this helps.

farmed these today (05/06/2023) for about an hour and it was 22/100 for me! thank you so much for the method and the best of luck to everyone!

Holy god is this useful info! I'd been picking up the three leves for this area a couple times a day to fish for chests. Did NOT know you could just reset them like this. TYVM

July 2022 - still works! Not so lucky on my end with only a 17% drop rate, but I'm in no rush, so it kinda works out for me. You get more allowances over time. Thanks for the vid!

Thank you so much, this helped me and a friend a lot.

Vid was very helpful, thank you so much! :)

Best method thank you saving me a lot of time and money

THANK YOU for sharing this!!!! Love ya:)

19% drop rate on 9.18.21. also you can start and abandon these while mounted now, can even open the chests without dismounting, so the best spot is just flying in the air instead of on that rock

Works like a charm, got 26 on my first try! thank you

Still works. Used a full 100 allowances, ended up with 20 Amber-encased Vilekin. Anecdotally, if I saw a wanted target, there was no treasure chest.

I got my first one literally right as you did in the video. Holy shit.

Still works in 6/13/2020. Thanks.

Thanks for the information

2020 Highly recommend this, stay on your mount, roam around, theres a spot further out on the leftside, always check there if the treasure spawns, I got 20 out of 100 on my first go, thats a good farm on my books.

Just did it 29 times and got 9 ambers, thx for this!

best way yet , 3/6/2019 still works pretty well

March 14th, 2024. Got 16 but it only really takes like under 30 mins. you dont really have to walk back and forth, flying on a mount around you can still open the chests so going around checking is way faster. After I got used to it I could check all the spots and retry it in like 10 seconds.

thank you

Thank you from 2021 for this video lol

Thank you brother ❤

When i abandon and retry twice the quest disappears and i need to go back to ishgard

RNG was likewise unkind to me: I only got 12 Ambers out of 100 leves. Some advice though that I don't see in any of these videos: You can initiate, abandon and retry levequests while mounted, and you can even open the chest without dismounting. So you can do this entire process without ever once leaving your mount.

20/100 leaves pretty good!

Still works 10/14/2020. Got 17 out of 100 leves

Does anyone who has done this comprehensively have a diagram of where the treasure coffers can spawn? I know that there's at least one that can spawn that Zolmation was not aware of (if you view from the bridge, it's just a slight bit down the straight forward path and then to the right, behind the automated enemy). I'm always afraid that I'm missing some treasure coffers just because I don't know where all they spawn.

Reporting in 6/12/2021, just got 14 but it was my first time, I probably missed 2 or 3. Still a good time.

How to reset that quest ? I just can do one time

Genius

still works

still works :)

Just did this today, FIRST 50 Allowances (26.9, 18.8) - 1 (26.6, 18.8) - 1 (26.8, 19.1) - 1 (26.3, 19.9) - 1 (THIS one was very far out) (29.6, 18.5) - 1 (26.6, 17.8) - 1 (27.5, 17.3) - 4 (27.0, 17.9) - 1 LAST 50 Allowances (26.6, 17.8) - 1 (27.5, 17.3) - 1 (26.6, 17.8) - 3 (27.0, 18.6) - 1 (27.0, 17.9) - 1 (26.7, 19.0) - 1 (26.9, 18.8) - 1 (26.9, 17.9) - 1 (26.7, 18.5) - 1 TOTAL : 22 Chests ---Loot--- 22 Amber-encased Vilekin 3 allagan Gold Piece 7500 Gil 3 allagan Silver Piece 1500 Gil 6 Mega-Potion of Strength 3 Mega-Potion of Mind 2 Mega-Potion of Vitality 2 Mega-Potion of Intelligence 3 Mega-Potion of Dexterity Notes: I Found my first chest after 18 Allowances (Kinda unlucky also because I was not looking very well) Note: You can see them from 2 squares away, but the sparkles only show up from 1 square

May 2020, 14 chests for 112 Allowances. So one chest per 8 Allowances for me.

Got 17 out of 100 leve ty

How do we get this quest ? :O

Just did it today (September 19, 2021) and got 20 chests out 100 tries. No 2nd chests dropped I think there is no 2nd chest or its so rare it virtually never happens.

10/100 for me

25/100 had 10 on my first 21 runs

it works (15.12.21) endwalker

Reporting from 2022, 9% drop rate through 100 leves, but I could just be unlucky

what is done with the amber to make crystal sand?

i spent 128 leaves and no ambers :( 11/29/2020 until 12/2/2020

9/100 here, I don't know if its nerfed or I'm very unlucky

For see the box we need any prequest needed? I done 40 times on 0 boxes ;-;

02/24/21 used up 50 allowences and got 9 of them

16/100...

5/17/2021 did it 100 times and got 24 which are equivalent to 48 Crystal sand

20, on June 16, 2021.

Idk but maybe it doesnt works now. After few tries i saw the inscription about cooldown of 9 hours

Feb 2024 just got 13/100 ;_; cry time

Haven't seen 1 chest in like 23 leves. Guess I'm just unlucky

update: from 100 leves, i got 21

Tried again - 11/26/20 - 100 leves 18 ambers

Could be just me but I found completely abandoning the quest then reinitiating it at Ishgard gives a higher drop rate somehow. I got 5/5

1 in 27 as of 3/31/2023

hi im bit confused, how do u get the crystal sand using vileskin?

Only got 12 from my 100 allowances, and I was looking hard :(

Terrible, terrible spawn rate. Took me 9 tries to get the first chest. I was aiming for 6 chests only and spent 34 leves to get there. That was 1 chest for 5 1/2 leves. If you don't need the leves for alt jobs and crafters, I guess it's a good source of sands. Otherwise, trading blue scrips is a safer way. (April, 2020 it still works)

100 runs, 14 ambers. RNG is all over it place for this it seems.

5/26/24 might want to rename this to worse luck ever lol.

Used 100 levels got 15 amber >_>

18% drop rate as on the first day of Endwalker

16 in 100. Not great.

you talk so soft lol i could'nt even hear a word you just said .
