ACP Keys

This is mostly a reference post for me. This is a discussion for ACP Keys trade-ins.

Treasure Coffer (Tenshodo)

Crimson Key
Wolf Mantle - Attack +0-4
Utsusemi: Ni

Mantle would be worth it because there are no other attack pieces for that level. And of course Utsusemi always fetches a pretty penny.

Viridian Key
Nothing much. There's a bunch of stuff that's almost awesome, like the Corsette with +Haste for those without a Swift Belt. But these are at the level where better gear is fast approaching and it's not really worth the effort.

Amber Key
Brocade Obi - Enhancing magic skill +0-3

For maxing out skill for certain spells.

Azure Key
Beak Mantle - Accuracy +0-6
Coeurl Gorget - Accuracy +0-8 / Ranged Accuracy +0-8
Rainbow Obi - hMP+0-5 / INT+0-5 / MND+0-5 / CHR+0-5

Freaking wow! The Mantle is pretty good in certain setups, although Amemet Mantle +1 is only around the corner. The gorget is amazing if you can't afford Spectacles or a Peacock Charm. The highlight of this is the Rainbow Obi. The INT/MND (if you hit +5) is an instant free replacement for Penitent's Rope. The CHR is so-so. The most amazing thing is the hMP. If you hit +4 or +5, it's the best resting piece for that slot in the game. Totally worth getting. You need to obtain the seed afterglows to get this key item, which is just walking around really.

Ivory Key
Angel's Earring - Enmity -0-2
Death Earring - Enmity +0-2
Diamond Earring - Magic Attack Bonus +0-2
Ruby Earring - Attack +0-5 / Ranged Attack +0-5 / STR +0-2
Sapphire Earring - Magic Accuracy +0-2 / MND +0-2

These are all great if you get the max numbers, and are easy replacements for their HQ (non-Aug) counterparts. However, you do need to defeat the BCNM to get this key.

Ebon Key
Angel's Ring - Accuracy +6
Death Ring - MP+19
Diamond Ring - INT+1 MP+9
Emerald Ring - STR +2 VIT +3
Ruby Ring - HP +8 STR+1 DEX+1 / STR +1 / HP +5 DEX+2 INT +1
Sapphire Ring - MP +6 STR +3 CHR +1 / MP +10 MND +1 STR-1
Spinel Ring - DEX +1 AGI +1
Topaz Ring - DEX+1 VIT+1 INT+3

These are all amazing and are replacements for Lv.74 rings. However, it is the final BCNM fight... It's not the fight that's the problem, it's the climb up to get into the fight (collecting afterglows) that's not totally worth it at all.

Conclusion:
In some aspects, a lot of this gear are priceless. In the end, I wouldn't mind doing the Fei'Yin keys. They aren't too bad. Otherwise, the rest are just not worth the trouble.

If I'm sadistic enough, I may go for the final key.
