Hi guys, did you try Heaven on High (HoH), new Palace of the Dead at the Ruby Sea?
I would like to make a briefly intro and some tips for those who are not used to Palace of the Dead before and point out some new creative updates. I can say this HoH is much more better and exciting than POTD: beautiful scenes, cute mobs, surprise room...
If you want to know more about F31+, you can check my twitter:
https://twitter.com/Hydeus_ff14/Basically, you have to go to the Ruby Sea to unlock HoH first + your level is 61 + access on the Ruby Sea.
Then you can talk to Kyusei (near Onokoro aetheryte) to enter HoH. The Aetherpool weapons start with 0/0 and you have 2 data slots.
Level inside doesnt involve with your real level outside. If you want to become stronger, increase your Aetherpool weapons.
_If your party is 4 people, you can enter as fixed party, so you can stock up the Pomanders & Magicites through floors.
_If your party is less than 4 people, you can queue as matched party and all pomanders & magicites will be reset to 0 each time you pass 10 floors.
*****First, let's talk about the new features HoH have:
1. Mobs there are super cute. Eg: Heavenly Namazu, heavnely Korporkur...
2. Instead of turning into Toad by trap, you will become a super cute Odder Otter lol
3. Your weapon is orange glow one. If you exchange it and bring outside, it would be i365.
4. They have new types of Pomanders (buff) in inventory. Eg: Turn all enemies into stones and 1 hit kill; or weaken all enemies on floor, or become invisible to all enemies and traps...
5. Beside Pomanders, you can have 4 magicites which allow you to summon Garuda, Ifrit, Titan and Odin (Only drop from silver chest at F30+, insta kill boss). Those magicties deal a lots of damage and very OP, even using them to bosses.
6.Sometimes, you will go to the floor which is a huge room connected by 15 tatami mats (Japanese floor). Of course each tatami has enemies and treasures.
The point is this huge room has 3-4 exits, and only 1 is real, others are traps, lol. Very funny one.
7. All chest can turn into monster too... so be careful
8. If you use Pomander of Witch, the mobs will turn into chickens and kappas XD
9. All bosses at the end of 10 floors resemble the bosses you encountered in dungeons/hunt... so the mechanisms is not too hard, it's just your weapons are too weak now XD But from F50+, it’s hard since the boss has more HP and heavy mechanisms, 1 hit kill.
10. After you finish F30, you will have to go out and do quest to unlock Heaven on High Apes.
11. Don't forget to exchange Silver-haloed sack and Empyran Postsherd for items from 2 NPCs near Kyusei. I got Sepphirot barding tho...
12. With 10 Empyran Postsherd, you can exchange for /sweat emote and new minion. Those Empyran Postsherd will start to drop from F30+ in brown chests. But only open it at F80+, no brown mimics there.
13. Each time you clear 10 floors, you got tomes, so no need to do roulettes anymore :D
14. Sometimes you will encounter NPC who gives you buff (like those NPCs in Eureka). Stand near them to get buff. I saw a Mameshiba, Fat Cat and Lion.
15. Do you know that Miniature Heaven on High housing item is climbable?

https://youtu.be/75UMew2KSYQ17. You can exchange weapon by exchanging grip bit by bit. 10 grips = one i365 glowing orange weapon. Each grip reduce your gear 10/10, so no worries.
****** Tips for using Pomanders & Magicites:
1. Pomander of Affluence + Pomander of Flight: You should use this instantly ONCE from F1-F8, F11- F18,... because they will have effect on NEXT floor.
2. Pomander of Purity: if you encounter a treasure monter and got debuff, use it to remove.
3. Pomander of Raising: use it instantly. When one of your party member die, he will be revived instantly. The effect last until 1 member is killed.
4. Pomander of Intuition: Use it instantly, this is for searching the hidden treasure for Sack and Potsherd. The effect will last through the floors until you find a hidden treasure.
5. Pomander of Fortune: only affects in current floor. Use it before you use Petri or magicite to kill mobs is a combo.
6. Pomander of Steel + Strength: Strength for dps and Steel for tank. If you have spare ones, just use them. The duration lasts for 7m
7. Pomander of Witch: if you accidentally step on a trap and 3 mobs pop out; or there is a room full of monsters, you can use this pomander to turn all mobs to kappas and chickens. But kill them quickly since the effect will run out soon.
8. Pomander of Petrify: Turn all enemies on current floor to stones, then 1 hit to kill each of them, very OP. Use it wisely.
9. Magicite: If you are on the huge floor with 15 tatami mats, use it, WIPE all the enemies and traps on that floor. Very haxxx and OP, lol. You can do it up to F30, from F30+, gottta save that.
10. If you have spare magicites, just spam on F30 boss.
11. To increase Aetherpool weapon/armor: Just open blue chest, but be careful, it can be exploded or become mimic.
12. Even if you enter to HoH as fixed party of match party, you still can use another data slot to grind lower floors to get higher Aetherpool weapon/armor.
Well, I think that's all for the intro. If I write too much, it might be a spoiler and ruin your fun.
Hope you will reach F100 and get Dodo + Juedi mount (4 times clear). Remember to grind your Aatherpool to 99/99 first (like what we do in POTD) before you face strong bosses.
Here's the tips for clearing F100:
