|Intro Text=
The Adventurer's Mutual Aid Network (A.M.A.N.) have prepared some treasure trove for our adventurers. '''A.M.A.N. Trove''' is new content in which players aim to open a variety of treasure chests and retrieve the spoils that lie within. You may find new accessories that can only be obtained from this content, as well as equipment and materials from [[Geas Fete]], [[Omen]], [[Vagary]], [[Delve]], and more.

There are ten boxes available, but one is really a [[Mimic]]. If the [[Mimic]] spawns, you'll need to defeat it to be able to obtain your rewards and leave the field.

Players can enter this battlefield using [[Mars Orb|an orb]] obtained by providing [[Greyson]] with [[Silver A.M.A.N. Voucher]]s, which are available by completing new [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#A.M.A.N._Trove|Record of Eminence]] objectives.}}

{{color|red|Note:}} Please leave any data you wish to contribute on the [[:Category talk:A.M.A.N. Trove|'''Talk Page''']], and please sign with the pencil icon or via typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> .

'''''Warning: Time Gated Content'''''

'''''45 Days must have passed since character creation before you are able to participate in this content.'''''

|}
* You must be job level 99 to speak to [[Greyson]] to unlock his services and the corresponding [[Records of Eminence]] objectives.
** While the level 99 / 45 IRL day requirements prevent you from speaking to [[Greyson]], you can still enter the battlefield if you obtain an orb elsewhere.
* Trade a [[Mars Orb]] or [[Venus Orb]] to the Burning Circles in any of [[Horlais Peak]], [[Waughroon Shrine]], or [[Balga's Dais]] to enter the battlefield.
** Between '''1''' and '''6''' players may participate.
** The time limit is 30 minutes.

==Getting Started==
* Set the [[Records of Eminence]] objective “'''Exploring the Trove'''”, located under Tutorial > Basics.
* Speak with [[Greyson]] in [[Lower Jeuno]] for information on the event.
:* You can store any accumulated [[File:Silver Voucher icon.png|23|link=Silver A.M.A.N. Voucher]] [[Silver A.M.A.N. Voucher]]s with him.
:* You can exchange stored [[Silver Voucher]]s for a [[File:Mars Orb icon.png|23px|link=Mars Orb]] [[Mars Orb]] (6 vouchers) or a [[File:Venus Orb icon.png|23px|link=Venus Orb]] [[Venus Orb]] (10 vouchers.)
::* [[Venus Orb]]s have a greater chance at higher-tier rewards. See full details below.
* Trade one of these orbs to the Burning Circles located in [[Horlais Peak]], [[Waughroon Shrine]], or [[Balga's Dais]] to enter the battlefield.
** There is no difference between the three zones and possible rewards. Rewards only depend on the orb used and messages received.

{{color|red|Note:}} As of the April 2022 update, players can now receive a random item by trading used [[Mars Orb]]s and [[Venus Orb]]s back to [[Greyson]] in [[Lower Jeuno]] (G-11).
* Around a 5% chance of obtaining a new [[Mars Orb]] or [[Venus Orb]].
** Note that if this is your reward, you will always receive the same type of orb that you traded [[Greyson]]. You will not be "upgraded" or "downgraded" to the other type of orb.
** The {{KI}} [[Moglification: A.M.A.N. Trove]], obtained by placing a {{ItemIcon|Prismatic Chest|24}} [[Prismatic Chest]] from [[Repeat Login Campaign]]s in your [[Mog House]], increases the chance of receiving another orb.
* Around 25% chance of obtaining an {{ItemIcon|SP Gobbie Key|24}} [[SP Gobbie Key]] or {{ItemIcon|Copper Voucher|24}} [[Copper Voucher]].
* Around 70% chance of obtaining a random Juice, like {{ItemIcon|Orange Juice|24}} [[Orange Juice]] or {{ItemIcon|Apple Juice|24}} [[Apple Juice]].

==Basics==
Each battlefield contains ten wooden chests in two rows of five and one central gold chest.
* Each wooden chest contains one item, and all items will be rewarded ''only'' when the central gold chest is opened.
* However, one of the wooden chests contains a [[Mimic]] that '''must be defeated once revealed''' to receive any rewards.
** It is also possible that a rainbow chest or a second golden chest may appear in place of [https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/52655/the-aman-trove-bc/71/#3734646 one or more] of the wooden chests. These chests contain a guaranteed higher tier reward and are never a [[Mimic]].

=== Wooden Chests ===
* Opening a wooden chest adds one item to the rewards in the central gold chest.
** When this occurs, you will also receive a message indicating the quality of the rewarded item. See the [[:Category:A.M.A.N._Trove#Rewards|Rewards]] section below for more details.
** After opening a wooden chest, you '''''may''''' receive a message about a "belligerent bang", which denotes whether any of the remaining chests contain higher quality items. If you receive this message, you will continue to receive it until a Loud Thud chest is opened, or you spawn a [[Mimic]].
*** There is a similar message for an "impossible to gauge thud", the highest reward category.
*** Not receiving these messages does not imply anything about the wooden chests' contents, and receiving them does not mean there is only one of that sound among the chests.
*** These messages also do not imply anything about the contents of the central gold chest.
* If you are unlucky, all the treasure chests will vanish and you will have to engage in combat against a fierce [[Mimic]].
** If you defeat the [[Mimic]], the central gold chest will reappear more and you may open it to receive your previously obtained rewards and clear the battlefield.
*** '''No other chests that were on the battlefield when the [[Mimic]] spawns will reappear after defeating it.'''

=== Rainbow Chest ===
A "rainbow", or [[Prismatic Chest]], is guaranteed to contain an "Impossible to Gauge Thud".
* It is possible for one of the wooden chests to spawn as a rainbow chest at the start.
* If all but two wooden chests are opened, one of the remaining chests can turn into either a golden chest containing a guaranteed "Loud Thud" or a rainbow chest containing a guaranteed "Impossible to Gauge Thud".
** An upgrade (either gold or rainbow) is guaranteed to happen in a [[Venus Orb]] battlefield, but not guaranteed to happen in a [[Mars Orb]] battlefield.

[[Image:Amantroverainbow.jpg|Rainbow Chest|link=]] [[Image:Amantrovegold.jpg|Gold Plated Chest|link=]]

=== Central Gold Chest ===
Opening the central golden chest completes the battlefield. You will receive one item per wooden chest you have opened, plus the one item contained in the central gold chest.
* The central chest can never be a [[Mimic]].
* The central chest makes a "noise" and contains corresponding contents just like the ten wooden chests.
** For [[Mars Orb]]s, the central chest can make any noise. For [[Venus Orb]]s, the central chest is guaranteed to be a Thud, Loud Thud, or Impossible to Gauge Thud.

If an item with the {{Rare}} Rare attribute would drop but you already possess that item, it will not appear in the list of spoils. There is '''no message in the chat log ''' to notify you of this.

==The Battle==
If an incorrect chest is selected, a [[Mimic]] named '''Chest O'Plenty''' (in [[Mars Orb]]s) or '''Coffer O'Plenty''' (in [[Venus Orb]]s) spawns. This also causes all other chests to despawn. This monster '''must be defeated''' in order to obtain any items from this battlefield. When it is defeated, the central gold chest respawns. (Any unopened wooden chests do not reappear.)

* Has approximately 2,500,000 HP.
* Upon popping and at every phase change (69%, 39%, and 9% HP remaining), it uses the move '''Ka-thwack''', an AoE instant death.
** This damage is negated by having [[Reraise]] on. (Similar to [[Odin]] from [[Dynamis - Divergence]] and the [[Master Trial]].) This causes Ka-thwack to deal magical damage to you instead.
*** [[Goddess' Hymnus]] '''does not count''' as [[Reraise]] for the purpose of not dying instantly to Ka-thwack! You will still die if you do not have an actual [[Reraise]] effect.
* The Mimic also has the following TP moves
** Death Trap: Inflicts AoE [[Stun]] (~5s) centered around the Mimic.
** Gilded Torpor: Inflicts AoE [[Sleep]] centered around the target.
** Double Whammy: Inflicts AoE physical damage centered around the Mimic.
** Booby Prize: Randomly inflicts a status ailment. Possible ailments include, but may not be limited to: [[Poison]], [[Blind]], [[Plague]], [[Silence]], [[Petrification]], [[Defense Down]], and [[Magic Attack Down]]
* The Mimic also casts spells that '''can''' be interrupted. A preferred strategy is to avoid using DoT spells and casting [[Lullaby]] to sleep the Mimic while it is casting.
** Notably, the Mimic can cast [[Death]]. [[Death]] resist gear does not seem to help against it. Interrupting it is strongly recommended.
** It can also cast [[Comet]], [[Absorb]], -ga III, and [[Ancient Magic]] II spells.
* Draws-in party members, which can be avoided by being far enough away.
* Has an incredibly large range on its AoE moves (50 Yalms+).
* Susceptible to [[Sleep]], such as from [[Lullaby]] or [[Quick Draw|Light Shot]].
* Grants the title "Mimic Masher" upon defeat (in either of the [[Mars Orb]] or [[Venus Orb]] battlefields.)

It is possible to proc this monster.

==Rewards==
There are five possible messages that may be obtained when opening a wooden chest. The message when opening a chest indicates the quality of item received from that chest. These messages (and thus the reward types) are totally random, and each instance is not guaranteed to contain all of them.
* It is possible to open all nine non-Mimic chests and still not receive a Loud Thud, or to obtain multiple Loud Thuds back-to-back in the same battlefield, [https://i.imgur.com/o9wSx59.png including from the final chest].
* You will sometimes receive messages like "You feel like there's a <huge sound/impossible to gauge sound> left to be made."
** The ending punctuation is an indicator of certainty ("made...?" vs "made." vs "made!")
** The messages that end in "...?" can be incorrect in either direction, better or worse (e.g. "huge sound left to be made...?" could be a regular Thud but it could also be an Impossible to Gauge Thud.)
** If the noise is found and it is a worse result, it will say "Looks like your intuition was incorrect.". If it is a better result, it will say "It's even better than you anticipated!":
[[File:troveanticipation.jpg]]

*'''You hear a noise, as if a large amount of spoils spontaneously appeared.'''
**The most common message, indicating the lowest tier of loot. Possible rewards include:
***[[Voidwatch]] synthesis materials ([[Serica Cloth]], [[Voidwrought Plate]], [[Sealord Skin]], etc.)
***[[Voidwalker_NM_System|Voidwalker]] synthesis materials (ie: [[Pelt of Dawon]], [[Befouled Silver]], [[Kidney Stone]], etc.)
***Scrolls
***Frayed/Worn Sacks containing +2 [[Skirmish]] stones, [[Mellidopt Wing|Mellidopt]] and [[Pulchridopt Wing|Pulchridopt]] Wings, or Reisenjima stones
***[[Codex of Etchings]]
***Sheol Boxes: [[Lu. Scale Box]], [[Lu. Hide Box]], [[L. Wing Box]]

*'''You hear a thud, as if a large amount of spoils spontaneously appeared.'''
**This message is less common and indicates slightly higher tier loot:
***[[Geas Fete]] equipment from [[Escha - Zi'Tah]]
***Most [[High-Tier Mission Battlefield]] drops
***[[Delve]] synthesis materials
***[[Vagary]] equipment and materials (but not [[Tartarus Platemail]])
***[[He. C. Gr. Coffer|Heroism Crystal Grand Coffer]]
***[[S. Ast. Det. Gr. Co.|Swart Astral Detritus Grand Coffer]]
***[[Abdhaljs Seal]]
***REMA Stone Boxes: [[Pluton Box]], [[Beitetsu Box]], [[Boulder Box]]
***Large Sheol Boxes: [[L. Lu. Scale Box]], [[L. Lu. Hide Box]] [[L. Lu. Wing Box]]

*'''You hear a loud thud, as if a large amount of spoils spontaneously appeared.'''
**A rare message that relatively rare loot:
***Older Trove rewards (the [[Sroda Ring|Sroda accessories]], [[Orpheus's Sash]], [[Epaminondas's Ring]], etc.)
***Any of the 20 pieces of the [[Volte Armor Set]]
***[[Reisenjima]] HELM NM drops
***AF+2/3 Synthesis Materials (ie: [[Cyan Coral]], [[Niobium Ore]], etc.)
***Most [[Selbina]] [[High-Tier Mission Battlefield]] drops (but not the [[Malignance Attire Set]])
***[[Pulse Cell|Pulse Cells]] (weapons or armor)
***[[Moogle Amplifier]]
***[[Ra'Kaznar Starstone]]
***[[Pluton Coffer]], [[Beitetsu Coffer]], [[Rift Boulder Coffer]]
***[[Omen]] midboss drops and boss synthesis materials ([[Nusku Shield]], [[Moonbow Leather]], [[Hope Crystal]], etc.)
***[[He. A. Gr. Coffer|Heroism Aggregate Grand Coffer]]
***[[M. Ast. Det. Gr. Co.|Murky Astral Detritus Grand Coffer]]

*'''You hear an impossible to gauge thud of massive spoils!'''
**The rarest message, corresponding to the highest tier of loot:
***Newer Trove rewards (the [[Hoxne Ampulla|Hoxne accessories]])
***[[Dynamis - Divergence]] Synthesis materials ([[Topaz Crystal]], [[Sardonyx Crystal]], [[Ratnaraj]], etc.)
***[[Wyrm Ash]]
***[[Malignance Attire Set]]
***Shinryu [[High-Tier Mission Battlefield]] rare drops ([[Crepuscular Cloak]], etc.)
***Cloud of Darkness [[High-Tier Mission Battlefield]] drops ([[Null Masque]], etc.)
***[[Omen]] bodies, [[Ou]] Hands ([[Shamash Robe]], [[Regal Cuffs]], etc.)
***[[Tartarus Platemail]]
***[[Pulse Panoplia]] Weapons and Armor

*'''5,000,000 Gil'''
** There is a rare chance to obtain 5,000,000 [[Gil]] as a bonus reward upon opening the Terminal Coffer, regardless of the number of chests opened or sound produced by the central chest.
** This is indicated with the message "You receive 5,000,000 gil as a bonus reward!"
*** You can still get this gil reward when entering alone, even if other party members do not enter the battlefield.
*** There may be a limit per month or similar on this reward, but exact details are unclear.
**** [https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/54987/up-in-arms-bcnm/2/#3648004 There is a report of one player going 0/50,000+] in one month. {{Information Needed}}
** A [[Monthly Adventurer Campaign]] may be active which doubles this amount to 10,000,000 [[Gil]]. This campaign does not increase the chance of obtaining this reward.

===Orb Types===
{{ItemIcon|Mars Orb|24}} [[Mars Orb]]s cost 6 [[Silver Voucher]]s each, and {{ItemIcon|Venus Orb|24}} [[Venus Orb]]s cost 10 [[Silver Voucher]]s each.
* The central golden chest in a Venus Orb battlefield is always at least a "Thud".
* Venus Orbs have a higher chance at "Loud Thud" and above noises from each individual chest (see the [https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/63494 November 2025 update notes].)
* Once 8 wooden chests are opened, one of the final 2 chests in a Venus Orb battlefield will always be upgraded to either a gold or a rainbow chest, while a Mars Orb battlefield may have either upgrade occur or none at all.
* Both orb types contain a [[Mimic]].
** There is no known difference in [[Mimic]] chances between the two types.
* It was confirmed in the [https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/59502-20%E5%91%A8%E5%B9%B4%E8%A8%98%E5%BF%B5%E6%94%BE%E9%80%81-%E3%82%82%E3%81%8E%E3%81%9F%E3%81%A6%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A1%E3%83%8A%E3%83%BB%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB-%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9A%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AB?p=644110#post644110 20th Anniversary Special Freshly Picked Vana'diel] (@4:30:52～) that the possible items rewarded from each type of noise, as well as the odds of "special rewards" from Loud Thuds (such as Omen bodies) are the same for both orb types.

===Unique AMAN Trove Rewards===
The following items are unique to AMAN Trove, and can be found after an "Impossible to Gauge Thud" (Hoxne) or a "Loud Thud" (all others)
* Some of these items are also available during the [[:Category:Adventurer_Campaigns#Nyzul_Isle_Uncharted_Area_Mysterious_Item_Campaign|Nyzul Isle Uncharted Area Mysterious Item Campaign]]. See the item's page for acquisition details.
