Summary

Trade a Garlaige Coffer key to a treasure coffer in Garlaige Citadel to obtain your Warlock's Tights.

Walkthrough

You must have completed The Crimson Trial - RDM AF1 and activated Borghertz's Vermillion Hands to obtain this quest.

Head to Garlaige Citadel and acquire a Garlaige Coffer Key. Keys drop from enemies such as vault weapons, over weapons, Hellmines, Magic Jugs, Fallen Mages and Fallen Majors.

Once you have the key, you must find a treasure coffer. All of the coffer spawn points are behind banishing gates, which require a total of four people to open (each person stands on a switch to open the gates) -- the gates may also be bypassed using Garlaige Citadel (S) and the Sparkling Light mini-quest.(I Do Not Recommend This) Treasure coffers spawn behind Banishing Gate #3 at G-6, I-5 and I-7. Behind Banishing Gate #2, coffers spawn at G-8, H-8 and I-7. You must have your job set as red mage when you open this coffer.

Trade your coffer key to the coffer to receive your Warlock's Tights. Congratulations!

Coffers
# Dec 04 2004 at 10:54 PM Rating: Decent
I got my key off a Wraith, did not know they dropped keys but it agroed our puller and bam a key. Now that I have this key I also have a map of where chests spawn, Behind the first gate there are 3 coffer spawns and 8 chest spawns, the only problem is the coffers seem to be up sets of broken stair and I can not get up them. Do you have to from back from behind the second gate to get to those areas? Only lvl 54. So I just popped in on a ride hitch to take a peek. And I'm not sure where second gate is, if you could give me it's grid I would be very thankful.

Good luck to you all and thx again/

Aliiyah, the quest you are talking about is for the gloves, they are talking about the red tights..as to whether or not you need the quest i will tell you for certain tomorrow ( i am going tonight to get the coffer in garlaige)
#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 02 2004 at 5:31 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) OK, I am Rank 5, High fame (I am "Lady" Aliiyah) and level 55 RDM and THERE IS A QUEST! I REPEAT THERE IS A QUEST! I just got the key, warped to Jeuno and opened a cutscene with Guslam in which he and the shop keeper Galka, Dealdy Minnow, talk about the "Lost hands of Borghertz"... and they tell you to go to Eldieme Necropolis. So please disgregard all n00b posts saying there is no quest.

wow. that must be embarresing, to call other people n00bs when you're the one making the mistake.

you probably got the key from garlaige citadel which is needed for your AF4 but you hadn't gotten the quest for your AF3 (gloves) yet, that's why when you went and talked to Guslam you started your AF3 quest. But that had nothing to do with you getting the key in Garlaige Citadel.

Sorry all but this n00b is mistaken "Lost hands of Borghertz"... is the lvl 54 gloves (Eldieme Necropolis), this coffer is for the lvl 56 pants ( Garlaige Cit) thx for your time

So basically what it says up there is that once you activate your AF hands, you can open a coffer in the Citadel and get your leggings?

Why does it say that this quest rewards you with an Oztroja Coffer Key?

Yes indeed, if some1 has any info on this, I'd like to know too. I'm finding it too difficult to find a party for the Oztroja Coffer Key, and can often see shouts in Jeuno for this one instead.

If it's possible to get the Oztroja Key from the coffer in the Citadel, yippee!!

It's not, I'm guessing it was just misplaced information, an average mistake.

Yeah, it was misplaced information - It has been fixed as of today (8/24/04). Now everyone can't get the Oztroja coffer key from a Garlaige coffer chest. ^^ (dang, that would've been much easier for me if it was otherwise - that the coffer also drops the Oztroja key...)

Hey, I got some priorities with my RDM AF collection - would be nice to get two birds with one stone. :-P

Hellmines
# Jul 10 2004 at 10:31 AM Rating: Default
Hellmines drop coffer keys at a pretty good rate.....party/alliance of 9 we had there got coffer keys for all in about 2-2 1/2 hours. They have a pretty tough self destruct though, just like all bombs. We found the mines down in the Chamber Beetle room pulling through a small tunnel.

Happy Hunting ^^
Banishing Gates
# Jun 16 2004 at 3:09 PM Rating: Decent
Got the coffer last night behind door #3 (6 hours of camping btw) by the wraith, and chainspell warped myself out of there before the Wraith even hit me 3 times! w00t! Getting past the banishing gates and having some patience once you get there are all that you need besides the key. Good Luck everyone, and a special thanks goes out to a level 71 RDM tarutaru named Dookie (who is quite the Uber RDM btw) on the Phoenix server. Thanks everyone that has helped me along, I wouldn't have got where I am without you folks!

coffer drops

For anyone curious as to the difficulty of obtaining the coffer key, I'd say it's no where near as hard as Beaudeax or Eldieme Necropolis. The mobs were all DC-T to the 60 THF who was pulling (we did not pull any wraiths, most fallen mages/majors, and the occasionall jug). Our alliance set up was as follows:

60 THF/NIN
51 THF/NIN
55 RDM/WHM
55 RDM/BLM
55 MNK/DRK
55 MNK/DRK
53 WHM/BLM

Notice the absence of vokers, the THFs simply tricked off the monks and it worked relatively well (though admittedly an actual tank would have made it easier). I (RDM/WHM) and the WHM stayed back and cured while all others meleed. You want to keep the mages out of the way (or make sure they have stoneskin up) because sometimes the bones will spam blood saber (we saw one do it three times in 30 seconds).

The drop rate was amazing. ...for the first 30 minutes. In the first 30 minutes we got three of the five coffer keys we needed, but in the hour that followed we had none. The only death resulted when the THF aggroed a wraith while pulling a fallen mage. Other than that it was relatively pain free.

The name of the quest is not as above in the description. The name for RDM AF quests gloves are called Borghertz's Vermillion Hands.

Maybe i missed something but isn't this quest for the pants? I dont know why the warlock tights quest would be named vermillion hands...
