Temenos - Northern Tower
From HomepointXI Wiki
- Temenos - Northern Tower is a subsection of the Temenos zone in the Limbus region.
- It is reached via the Teleport-Holla crag entrance to Al'Taieu.
Cosmo-Cleanse and White Card are required for entry.- All monsters in this area use their job's 1-hour ability.
- You can only open one chest per level. The chests spawn in random places. There is no set spot for either chest, and all of them can load in any of the three positions.
- The monsters that open the doors don't pop the chests.
- The Time chest is blue, and gives an additional 15 minutes.
- The Item chest is brown with gold trim, and on the lower 6 levels all have 4-7 Ancient Beastcoins and 0-2 AF+1 items.
- The Restore chest is brown with silver trim, and refills HP/MP and restores all timers.
- Defeating one/all of the beastmen drops all three chests; when there is a specific chest dropper, it is the furthest mob from the entrance.
- It is possible to win with fewer Time chests if you skip some mobs and go straight for the chest dropper.
- Typical Ancient Beastcoin yield: 50
- Reward for completion: Ivory Chip

- The chests can spawn at either of the Goblin Slaughterman locations.
- The chest dropper is one of the Goblin Slaughterman in the NW corner OR SE corner.

Seventh Floor
Enemies: Goblins
- Goblin Theurgist x2 (BLM)
- Goblin Fencer x2 (RDM)
- Goblin Warlord (DRK)
- All drop 1-2 Ancient Beastcoins
- Cannot pull from the side without linking all the others.
- Can be pet pulled, though as always this can fail if the mob stops to cast before chasing you, giving the others time to link.
- One way to avoid all casting on pulls is to pull a mob right after it casts a buff spell.
- A way to avoid casting of an offensive spell on the pull is to run away after sending in your pet so that you are out of casting range when your pet is gone. This doesn't work as well with RDM, since RDM has more buff spells.
- The final chest appears in the middle of the room when all the goblins are defeated.
- It contains 6 Ancient Beastcoins, an AF+1 item, the Ivory Chip, and a chance to drop a Metal Chip.
