How long does it take mobs to typically repop? I was trying to farm the mandy like creatures in the first two zones of Ogir Yensa Sandsea but after chain 20 (which took about a half hour to do) I just seem to stop encontering them. Does zoning help or hinder the repops? I was zoning between the two area looking for more mandies, but gave up after that.
 
In my experience you can farm mobs into extinction but fear not, if you go two zones away and don't zone into a city zone, all the mobs return and your chain continues. Zone into a city and your chain goes bye-bye.

Would that include the area before Ogir Yensa Sandsea with the orange save crystal? If not, it'll be easier to go two zones away atleast.
 
My experience is any zone that has no mobs to fight = chain breaker. Though I haven't tested it extensivly enough to swear to it. :D

Hmmm, I guess when I get home later tonight, I'll have to test it out.

Save crystal zones kill chains.

Not always true. In Henne mines I flee back and forth from the switch room where the jellies drop and the orange crystal 2 zones away. My chain stays up.
 
Yeah, Jimm's right... it must just be certain zones deemed "towns" or "safe zones"... 'cause the "Crystal Glade" in Giza does not kill chain, either.
 
I think only being in a zone where Vaan becomes the only controllable character kills the chain. Maybe changing regions does too, not sure about that.

Going into cities like Rabenastre(sp.?) kills chain. Smallers zones like where there are Teleport crystals in the middle of a region don't kill the chain, like the zone right infront of Jahard(sp.?)... though I haven't tried that paticular zone.
 
Changing regions does not, you can chain Wolves in Westersands into Hyenas in the Giza Plains.

I think the one before Jahara will because you dont control your pt anymore, you control Vaan.
 
Mobs repop after zoning 2 different zones away, and coming back.

Treasure repop after 3 zones away.

Elemental weather after Region change, not just zone.

Chains are lost when saving or resting HP to a crystal.
 
chains only break after you touch a crystal kill a monster outside of the chain, or a special CS event

mobs respawn inside the zone but only a limited number i think 26 of each race A-Z afte that move 2 zones away for repops

treasure also repops by moving 2 zones away

weather changes by zoning once(learnd this when I sought out ring wyrm and storm lord, that giant turtle in SE giza plains during the rainy season)
