For those who do not know, this is the Sirocco Mask unique hat.





In this post I will explain to you how you, yes you, can get your hands on this beauty of a mask. But first, let me explain some things to you.


Treasure Boxes

There are four types of treasure boxes, you only need to know three of them. Each type (sans the fourth) respawns 50 minutes to an hour after you open/kill it. They can spawn any time during their 10 minute window.


Box 1: Brown

Small, brown boxes are the most common box you will find. They carry some kinah, potions, and power shards.


Box 2: Red

Red boxes are slightly larger than their lower quality brown, and also have better loot. These boxes have a chance of dropping green items, as well as more potions, power shards, and kinah than brown boxes. This type of box is a "rare" spawn, but you will see them pop up from time to time.




Box 3: Gold

These giant gold boxes are the rarest you will ever find, but their drops more than make up for it. These boxes house gold, unique items, as well as a lot of power shards and potions. This is the box you want, but it will take patience and time for it to actually spawn for you.







Now that you know how treasure boxes work, and the treasures they may hold, I will show you where Sirocco Mask is.



That's right. Ice claw, in morheim, by the lv30 elite mau. This treasure box is lv28, so if you are lv38 or above you are SoL, but I recommend using a lv40+ character to camp the boxes with, and then take your looting character to the box when it spawns.


Spawn point 1: Right by the tree to the west of chieftain. The statue to get behind the barrier is nearby, if you need more direction.




Spawn point 2: Between the tree and the chieftain hut.




Spawn point 3: Behind the housing to the east of chieftain.





So, now that you know... Good luck! And happy hunting~

Please be warned, the mask is NOT a 100% drop rate from the gold box. If your character is higher level than the box then your drop rate will drop dramatically. I know how you guys will feel when you find a gold box, pop it, and find only kinah and shards inside. It has happened to me more than once when camping other things.


I will update pictures as I get them.


Edit: Updated treasure box respawn times. It is 50 to 60 minutes.

Thanks for the guide, that hat is pretty good looking.. wish I could get one.

[Imagica]

Thanks for the guide :)

Two questions:

1. Is this mask for asmos only? I'm elyos :cry:

2. Can it be traded among characters?

Imagica -

I've seen Elyos on my server running around with the earth spirit and water spirit versions of that wind spirit hat, so I think if you're willing to rift into Asmodae, an Elyos should be able to obtain one too.

[Jahaudant]

Ice Claw is practically devoid of any activity anyway. You won't have much of a problem spending long periods of time in there if you're Elyos. And yes, from the screenshot it seems the hat is sellable/tradeable.

[Yasashiku]

The mask is, indeed, sellable/tradeable/elyos-able.

[Imagica]

Thanks all, see you in Morheim :grin:

So a treasure box of a random grade spawns in one of these 3 places once per hour? So you just go to this area every hour after killing the treasure box and beat it down, and if its a gold box, hope it drops the mask?

Just want to make sure I have hte mechanics of their spawning correct.

HI!!

Can anyone do a same useful guide for the elyos version of this hat or at least the name of the hat that is elyos which is similar to this

Thant would be helpful!

Thanks for ur post OP! =)

Yes, you are correct. The treasure box will respawn one hour-ish after you kill/open it, and it will randomly be one of the three types in one of the three spots I marked. Brown is very very common, red rare, gold extremely rare. Gold is the one you want.

There is another treasure box in the zone around the lv28 monsters, please do not mistake that box for this one. From my research, that box will NOT spawn as a gold, so don't bother with it.

This hat only comes from this specific treasure box in Morheim, sorry.

I hate Ice claw so much the mobs there are hell. Deffinatly need a good group to get into the area of the box

So far, from my camping, I have found SIX treasure box spawn points. All of these should be able to be gold treasure boxes.


I base that on the fact that I camped for my Water Spirit Mask, which is rough being Elyos, and I saw the gold chest in 2 different locations. I have a mini-guide up for the Water Spirit Mask on Aionarmory, and if you PM me politely I can send screenshots of the actual chest locations, rather than locations on a map.

I have camped Water Spirit Mask as well, and that box is slightly different than the Ice Claw one. The Alukina zone only has one box that spawns every 50~60 minutes. Ice claw has two. These two boxes do not share spawn points, and they do not share respawns. I have also never seen the other box be a gold box in all my camping (I have seen the gold box three times and gotten three masks in the spots I have shown), but that doesn't mean it can't happen I guess.

If someone finds the gold box somewhere else than where I have shown, go ahead and screenshot it and show me. If you do then I can update my guide to include the second treasure box that spawns in the zone and the spawn points associated with it.

If there can be 2 treasure boxes up at once, then you may be right.

I have not seen 2 up at the same time, though.

So far from 4 days of camping: 231231 Small brown boxes, about 10 or so medium boxes, and no gold boxes.

I have seen both up at the same time. I was surprised to find this out myself while camping for sirocco mask, so I camped both boxes to see if they both could spawn the gold or just one. So far, the one that has only three spawn points around the lv40 mau is the only one I have seen turn gold.

Again though, it doesn't mean the other box will not turn gold, it just means after all my camping and seeing the south box turn gold three times I have never seen the other box do the same. I think the other box has around 4 or 5 spawn points though.

damn it koe, you got me interested in cool hats now i'm gonna end up wasting all my time and kinah trying to find/make cool hats -_-

[Theory]

Definitely getting myself this.

- Does the treasure box drop anything if it is opened by a level 50?
- Is there a fire spirit hat?

As I said, the box is lv28, if you are lv38 or more you will not get loot from it.

There is not a fire spirit hat as far as I know.

There is a fire spirit hat. I don't know what it's called, but Aion™ Online :: Character & Legion this guy used it as his helm skin for a while.

For some reason 3D preview isn't working on that char... Do you mean Crown of Flame Feather or Saendukal's Mask?

If I can get 3D preview to work or you can post a screenshot that'd help to. ><
