Borghertz's Sorcerous Hands
|
SummaryGauntlets wrought by Borghertz, the legendary craftsman, lie hidden somewhere in Vana'diel. WalkthroughNote: You must have completed The Three Magi - BLM AF1 and activated Recollections - BLM AF2 to start this quest. First, go to Upper Jeuno and speak to Guslam at the armor shop. A cutscene will occur and he'll say that there's a rumor that Borghertz's gloves were somewhere in Garlaige Citadel. Next, you need a coffer key from Garlaige Citadel. Keys drop from enemies such as vault weapons, over weapons, Hellmines, Magic Jugs, Fallen Mages and Fallen Majors. After obtaining a key, find and open a treasure coffer to retrieve a key item, Borghertz's old gauntlets. 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-quests. 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 can be any job when you open this coffer. Go back to Guslam. He'll tell you to ask Yin Pocanakhu in the Tenshedo in Lower Jeuno about the whereabouts of Borghertz's old toolbox. Give Yin Pocanakhu 1000 gil, and she'll tell you the toolbox is near the Duty Free shop in Port Jeuno. Examine the ??? in Port Jeuno between the Duty-free Shop and the auction house. A cutscene will occur and Borghertz will appear. He instructs you he needs Shadow Flames from Castle Zvahl Baileys to repair the gauntlets. Go to Castle Zvahl Baileys and examine the torches at F-8. An NM Bomb, Dark Spark, will spawn. Kill Dark Spark and then examine the torch again (make sure its the same torch, or else Dark Spark will reappear) to receive the Shadow Flames (key item). Go back to Port Jeuno and examine the toolbox again to receive your Wizard's Gloves. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the Black Mage artifact armor series. See the list below to find out which quest comes next.

I soloed the Dark Spark BLM/WHM level 69. I pulled the Dark Spark to the safer area near the entrance, Stoneskin and Blink up and casted Bind > Firaga III > Sleep II and rested my MP again and again. It took 824 damage each. The Dark Spark stand 8255 damage at all.

Not as hard as it used to be.
Retrace -> Sauromugue [S] -> Garlaige [S] -> Garlaige -> Coffer
Got coffer on my own within an hour. I was lucky on placement tho. :D

Kinda cheesed my way throught this quest. I had the rdm af hands quest flaged so first I had to do that... (70 rdm) useless pair of gloves there...
Then talked to Guslam, CS.
Went to Garliage and just shouted for anyone who was fighting the key mobs, someone was so I offered 10k and they invited me and I cast lot on the key (5 mins).
Then ran to gate 1 where there was a party who was nice enough to let me through,
Gate 2 had 3 people who were trying to get a Galka through the gate for the coffer as well... I felt kinda bad but i put on my Sprinters shoes hit the quickening and once the gate was opened I B-lined it... Galka started to d/c and I found the Coffer 1st... sry dude (10 minutes).
Back to Port Jeuno for the Toolbox CS.
Finally I was lucky enough to find someone farming demons for gil, asked for help and they obliged me. (Thanks Kins).
Poped Dark Shadow and the 75 thf mopped the floor with it, all I did was heal a little bit + Haste + enfeebs.
Checked the torch again for Shadow flames. (20 mins).
Warped back to Port Jeuno and went to the toolbox CS and I had my Wizard Gloves.
WOOT!
Total Time: maybe 30 mins. Lucky day for me

This is just a quick note. It's true that you need to have finished the AF Quest "The Three Magi" and that you also have have to have at least flagged or completed the Quest "Recollections" but after I had completed both the "The Three Magi" and the "Recollections" quests I dropped down to level 49 but was still able to get this quest at level 49BLM. That's just my two cents. I know it's kind of a point that doesn't really need to be said but I will say it anyways. Thanks
Jono Jack
Do get this quest you need to have "Recollections" quest BLM AF2 flag on! you don't need to finish the "Recollections" quest.

My blm51 and already completed The Three Magi (but I haven't gone back to talk to Shantotto again, dont think it's relevant). I cannot start this quest somehow. I dont have any other AF quest in progress. Guslam just says "You found the gauntlets? Amazing!...." The gauntlets refer to my Drachen Gauntlets completed so long ago. Anyone has any suggestion?
To start this quest, you must not only beat The Three Magi but also start Recollections (BLM AF Feet quest).

There is a way to get them again, but by doing this you have to do your other BLM AF too >.< but u could just do them and throw them away or something or just get to this quest and not do any others.
If you a high amount of fame in Jeuno and have completed all of the AFv1 quests (including coffers) you can go to an elvaan NPC in the Lower Jeuno magic shop that will erase your memory of ever doing all 5 of the quests for the armour for 10k. when i first saw him i thought i could be any quest so i can do Sleepga II quest again and keep selling but but i'm afraid not :p
Anyway, hopes this helps some

Guslam wont even give me the quest, i am Level 51 BLM and have completed AF 1 - The Three Magi.
All he tells me is "Hello. Head to the counter for service." Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Yea, just a casual note that no one has seemed to post here. If this is your second AF-Hands quest, you don't need to pay the npc an additional 10k to find the box.
Yea, it sounds stupid and all, but it wasnt posted anywhere. Plus, it made my day (woo).

Same here. Guslam didn't tell me anything about a toolbox (though I could still continue the quest by talking to the Tenshodo NPC). Out of interest, I went back and tried talking to all the NPCs in the shop with Guslam. It turns out that Deadly Minnow, the galka working behind the counter, talks about the toolbox. He says that a mithra working for the Tenshodo acquired one a long time ago.

There are 2 Demons near the torches you have to clear before the fight. No Biggie.
Remember after killing Dark Spark, examine the SAME torch you used to spawn it or Dark Spark will respawn.
As long as you have Barfira Up and Silence it, you should have no problem.

I have both my AF1 and 2 done for Blackmage, and just talked to Guslam. He said the hands of Borghertz rest in Beaudeaux. Is this correct?

Looks like to me you have activated the white mage gloves first. Those are in Beadeaux. You have to finish those before you finish the black mage ones.

Alright here's the thing.. I need the coffer here for two jobs.. RDM (legs) and BLM (hands)

I've also heard that its possible to get the old gloves with a different main job.. is that correct?
Please help me out!

You are correct on both parts.
yes you CAN get the gloves "Key Item" with any job and yes you must be "That JOB" to get the AF for said job straight from the coffer.
Here's the catch, IF you go as you RDM and open the coffer you will get the RDM AF first (IF you don't already have them) then when you open it agian you will get the gloves key item since the gloves are for your BLM.
I hope the clears things up for you and all other who want to know.
i am on my 5th set of AF now so i have been in and done this all ready.

This is one of the hardest coffer keys ive had to get, I spent 3 and a half hours trying to get a key and nothing...we had no thf, just a drk/thf, but we fought fallen majors, mages, hellmines, and Vault Weapons, any suggestions?

This was stupidly easy, until we got mauled by a demon train...still haven't fought Dark Spark yet, but the coffer was easy.
I went with one party, coffer key, got first drop.
Second party got me behind banishing gate 2, looking for coffer, they could not find it. I decided to make a dramatic run, RDM sneak/invisibled me, and I ran like hell going through every hallway I could see. Coffer and key, total time: 40 minutes, 10 for key, 30 for coffer.

Since behind the 2nd b-gate, there is a spot guarded by the Tainted Flesh... this question came up. It agros sound and low HP, I know. So.
a) do you loose sneak when opening a coffer?
b) if you get agro from having to drop invis, trade the key and it opens, will get you get the item if you die? (in my case, Old Gloves)
c) if you do loose sneak, get agro'd as the coffer pops, and die, do you get the item?
pretty much, I need to know if I am going to say screw it and just let myself die to get this item. If I cant get the item even if I die... well obviously not going to die for no reason! Thanks for help!

Just did it! Finally !
Ls insisted on going to 3rd gate, waited like 6 hours total, no spawn.
Finally got some help to go to 2nd gate. Went in, waited 5-10 mins, spawned behind the tainted flesh (CR*P), so i was sneak/invis, remember that near the tainted flesh, beetle = sight, tainted flesh = sneak. I was quite away from the beetle while standing next to the coffer. So i removed invis, used my 2hr (less interuptions), took the coffer (that made sneak wear off) , and casted warp on me... got in jeuno no hp lost. Never got agroed by the Tainted flesh ( it does agro! be carefull, all i say is that if it moved far enough from the coffer, take your chance )

a) Every time you use a key to open a locked item (coffer, chest, etc), your sneak automatically drops.
b) If you do get aggro from having to drop invis, but manage to open the coffer anyway, you will immediately obtain the contents for any AF-related coffer. If it's a normal coffer you pop, the item will be placed in the Treasure Pool of the party. Whether or not you die after opening the coffer, you immediately get the treasure.
c) I'm not really sure what you meant, but you have to be alive and standing next to a coffer to use the key in order to open it.
Basically, the technique I've always used for finding coffers deep in high-aggro territory is go next to the coffer with sneak and/or invisible on, case be as it may. Start cast either a teleport or Escape while standing next to the coffer. Wait until 70% done casting, then take off invis (if applicable) and use the key to open the chest. You will see any aggro mobs turn to you and even hit you sometimes, but your spell isn't interrupted and you're usually alive when arriving outside.

Basically, the technique I've always used for finding coffers deep in high-aggro territory is go next to the coffer with sneak and/or invisible on, case be as it may. Start cast either a teleport or Escape while standing next to the coffer. Wait until 70% done casting, then take off invis (if applicable) and use the key to open the chest. You will see any aggro mobs turn to you and even hit you sometimes, but your spell isn't interrupted and you're usually alive when arriving outside.

How do you get behind that bloody second banishing gate?!
(edit): four levers, in the south part of the area behind the first b-gate there, on the map, there is a series of rooms. The west most and the east most rooms have the presssure-levers in them. (North and South) some have Pots, some have bombs, both agro magic.

Rheywolf - BLM is a glass cannon. Sure, they can MB Freeze on a slime for 6,000 damage. But it takes the average beastman 3.5 seconds to disembowel a BLM and unceremoniously defile the remains.

I think you have a good shot of finding the coffer behind gate 3. I finally got behind gate 3 and logged out for a few hours, came back and there it was right behind the wraith to the left of gate 3. I am not sure if coffers despawn, but I was told they do not (unconfirmed). However alot of people head through gate 2 to look for their coffers meaning you have a good chance of some1 else grabbing a coffer in gate 2 and having it respawn behind 3. Stick /w it and keep checking in every half hour for spawns.

garlaige is always a bitch with those doors >.< gotta hate this coffer, even though getting the key can be simple getting people to help open those doors so that you alone can get a coffer can be nasty. I ended up just logging out for the night and logging in to just check the coffer a few times ever few hours in order to get it.
Garliage is one of the worst places you could possibly have to go to find a coffer. They only spawn behind banishing gates 2 and 3, and finding people who are willing to help you get through them is hard. I got through once; killing a friend twice in the process. Dromas con Even match to me at 54 and explosures decent challenge. It also doesnt help that both dromas and explosures spawn inside the switch rooms making it impossible to resneak/invi urself w/o running back to a safe spot. Ah well doesn't matter, I'll stand here as long as it takes till I get these friggin gloves.

Just wanted to clear up a myth about this. If you have not found your old Borghertz gloves from a coffer and havent been instructed to go to Zvahl Castle Bailey to kill the Dark Spark you will not receive the key item Shadow Flames once the Dark Spark is defeated. Just says the Torches burn eerily. Ah well Looks like another trip to Xarcabard for Mobo >.<

I found a coffer on the broken stairs coming down next to the banishing gate #2. You can actually see it without going through the gate but cannot get to it.

These instructions are either not correct or are not complete.
I'm currently a 50BLM with Hero (max) fame in Jeuno, holding the Casting Wand (from AF1 quest), and Guslam won't give me the cutscene still.
So, something is incorrect or missing.
Edit: Figured out what was missing. You must also have AF2 started and in motion before this will pop. Need to update the above instructions to reflect that.

Very much the case... very incorrect
I went to talk to Guslam (i have already activated the coffer part quest for whm)...he said the same speech about the gaulents and so I switch over to my level 50 blm and since I already had a Coffer key for Eld Nec. I decided why not. After spending hours finding the coffer i get to it open it up and Bam 7700 gil... imagine how pissed I was. It does appear that you need to activate AF2 "Reccolections" I would advise someone to please fix the above directions because I was lucky to get my key while doing Limit 1 long ago and this key is hard to come by and I'd hate to see someone else lose their key cause a quest wasn't activated ><

ok this is so terribly easy, atleast i found it to be.
the coffer key isn't hard, just time consuming. a party of around 58 can kill coffer mobs with little problem. Hellmines are bother if you're not Barfira'd up (mistake. honest ;P).
to get to a good camp head to Garlaige Citadel and drop down the first hole in the floor on the first left, then once you're down from the wall go north west, keep going and you'll come to a small corridoor-type-cave-thing, a passage.
from there you can pull Fallen Majors, Hellmines etc in peace.
i found this the best part to camp.
follow the guide until you get to Castle Baileys. once inside sneak/invis up, run to the far back with the torches (just keep following the path without taking a left or right) and kill the 2 demons which walk past the door (whch are all EP at Lv55) the mobs behind the gate will NOT aggro through, obviously.
Dark Spark died in about 60 seconds with a NIN60 tank, DRK56, BST56, BLM55 and RDM58. he could have been killed with less.

Jeuno AHs:
Lower Jeuno Counter (Obvious)
Chocobo Stables in Upper Jeuno
Down inside the canopies. The stairs that lead down to the Chocobo Stables in Port. There are NPCs just standing around down there. They're the AH.
There's another counter in Port Jeuno.
I don't know about the one outside the Doctor's office in Upper Jeuno, but I'll check it out sometime.

Lower Jeuno:
The AH counter where it lags the most
Upper Jeuno:
Outside Doctor's Office and By the chocobo stables (Now I understand why everyone is buzzing about the UJCS)
Ru'Lude Gardens:
There's an Auction Counter to the right if you are coming from the Archduke's Palace.
You can check all the locations, because I know I'm right. =]
