Thoughts on farming for materials that only drop here? Vanya gear looks to be interesting for mages for melding, yet the price is waaay to expensive ><. Id be down for scheduled farming of this area to stockpile on mats. Much can come out of it.. spiritbond, grouping in ls, plenty of gil if we happen to overstock. Just seems like a win for all lol. Not only does Vanya mats drop but i believe all new recipes have mats that drop from here?
Seems to be alot of interest in this =D. Here is a listing of crafted items and chest drops. Credit goes to Zetsumei of The Star Onions Gaming Community Forum

Looks like the only mobs to fight for drops and coffer keys are the VIIth Legion Centurion and the Magitek Vanguard H-1. For Coffer key drops from what iv gathered from other sources is the H-1's have 3 levels 61, 62, and 63 with copper, silver, and gold coffer keys respectively from each.
As Wind said, I am interested in doing this as well. Xen already made me some nice white clogs from the items from Castrum Novum.
The nice items drop from the robots. There are 2 types of robots as well. The one that drops the coffer keys are the H-1 (lvl 61+) mobs. The robots that are the lower lvl have a chance to drop the garlean rubber and fiber.
Oh and I scheduled a Castrum Novum farming session for Monday. Sign up if you are interested. Warning, if there are not enough people it might not work as those robots + adds can be rough.
