Consider perusing the following section and grabbing the gear you really, really want or need, as the situation demands, tackle it in sessions, and when you tire of the effort, take a break and go clear out an optional dungeon, complete some hunts, or otherwise refresh yourself by making progress elsewhere. ![]() It’ll make you significantly stronger if you’re willing to put in the time, but it can be extremely tedious and draining. While it might be tempting to focus on the Cerobi Steppe and complete it entirely as laid out in the walkthrough, extracting the choicest bits of loot to be found in this area is a monumental undertaking. Naturally this will be easier with visual aid (which will be provided above each map section), as given the aforementioned abundance and scarcity of the urns, simple text directions seem wanting for this endeavor. Run short, repeatable routes until you get the treasure(s) you want, then move on. Given the scarcity of the items in this zone and the time and tedium that goes with learning the locations of urns and sweeping the area for them, it may be easier to focus on a single treasure at a time, or a group of urns in a small area. Once you’ve searched and looted what you want, zone out and immediately zone back in and the enemies should stay gone, allowing you to repeatedly respawn the treasure without respawning the enemies. Run through it several times, clear out the monsters that spawn each time, and when you’re certain the enemies have been temporarily eradicated, equip your Diamond Armlet(s) and go hunting for treasure. You can significantly reduce the amount of effort required to get this treasure by clearing out a single area in the Cerobi Steppe. Even with x4 speed it could take half an hour or longer to get a single item. At worst they have a 10% chance to spawn, an 80% chance to contain Gil, and a 5% chance to contain an item other than a Knot of Rust, for a whopping 0.1% (1-in-1,000) chance to contain the item you want per zone-in. Factor in the 5% chance to get something other than a Knot of Rust and you’ll end up with a 0.5% (1-in-200) chance per zone-in of getting an item from any of these urns. ![]() At best these urns will have a 20% chance to spawn, and again at best they’ll contain Gil a mere 50% of the time. The common item is always a Knot of Rush, while the rare item are the goodies you’re interested in. As a universal rule, with a Diamond Armlet equipped otherwise unimpressive treasure containers like the ones in the Cerobi Steppe will now possess two items, a common item (90%) or a rare item (5%). Yep, that’s right, as long promised, you will finally need a Diamond Armlet equipped to get this treasure. When these treasure urns do contain an item, they will always yield a Knot of Rust… unless you’re wearing a Diamond Armlet with the looting character. The quality of this loot is offset by the sheer mind-numbing effort it takes to get, however, as the spawn rates for urns with the best loot can be as low as 10-20%, and when they do spawn they can contain Gil up to 80% of the time. While generally less impressive in the southern-most zones, the treasure in the center and northern areas can include some very fine items indeed, including new magicks, technicks and some of the best weapons and armor in Ivalice. Even more interesting than the monsters that populate the Cerobi Steppe is the loot you can find here.
