This is an old revision of the document!
Checks are events, locations, and bosses which, upon completion, reward the player with a character, esper, or item. Various checks are limited to a subset of the three possible reward types. For example, some checks may only reward either an esper or item and never a character.
Item rewards are randomly selected with a uniform distribution. The possible items are:
Aegis Shld, Aura Lance, BehemothSuit, Cat Hood, Dragon Horn, Economizer, Exp. Egg, Fixed Dice, Flame Shld, Force Armor, Force Shld, Gem Box, Genji Armor, Genji Glove, Genji Helmet, Genji Shld, Ice Shld, Illumina, Magus Rod, Marvel Shoes, Minerva, Offering, Paladin Shld, Pearl Lance, Ragnarok, Red Cap, Snow Muffler, Thunder Shld, ValiantKnife

Below are the available checks listed in alphabetical order along with which world it is available in, the character who unlocks it in character gating mode, the possible rewards, and the original boss.

The auction house is available in Jidoor in both the WOB and WOR, however, different items are sold in each world. The following table shows the odds of each item when the talking chocobo and 1/1200 airship are removed.
WOB | WOR | WOR (No Hero Ring) | |||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Offer | Repeat | Price | % | Offer | Repeat | Price | % | Offer | Repeat | Price | % |
Cherub Down | Multiple | 10,000 | 50 | Hero Ring | Single | 50,000 | 50 | Golem | Single | 20,000 | 50 |
Golem | Single | 20,000 | 25 | Golem | Single | 20,000 | 25 | ZoneSeek | Single | 10,000 | 25 |
ZoneSeek | Single | 10,000 | 12.5 | ZoneSeek | Single | 10,000 | 12.5 | Zephyr Cape | Single | 10,000 | 12.5 |
Cure Ring | Multiple | 20,000 | 12.5 | Zephyr Cape | Single | 10,000 | 6.25 | Imp Robot | Multiple | Priceless | 12.5 |
Imp Robot | Multiple | Priceless | 6.25 |
When single sale items in the columns above are purchased, the odds of everything below it increase. Therefore, purchasing the 50,000 GP item in the WOR results in the best odds of an esper appearing. However, purchasing items in the WOR also increases the chances of triggering the longer imp robot scene. After buying a single esper and the items in the Hero Ring and Zephyr Cape slots, players have a 50% chance of the final esper appearing and a 50% chance of the imp robot scene.
