Drachen Armet  

my lv. 60 drg friend needed help with the fight so we thought we would try to go duo it, we went the pop room kill all the crawlers, plans were for drg to put sneak up but and pop them but she accidently touched the ??? in the middle and spawned them and almost died. Myself i was on nin/dnc so i animated flurished one and hojo'd the other and pulled both mobs out the room to the little dead end just west of the hidden room.

Drg penta thrust right away before i had actually engaged a mob and ended up dieing within about 2 sec. So just myself left i bind, para, slow both mobs with ni/ichi ninjitsu and amazingly it was rediculously easy. I stayed and literally not even trying tanked both mobs, to a thf or a nin they should be very easy to evade there actual hit rate on me was maybe 1/10 not making it hard to keep shadows up. I killed thf first since he has triple attack and his activation rate on it was noticable.

When you have a multipurpose wyvern, the breath goes off at 33.333333333333333333333333%? not 25% ya?

I have a lot of 75 that will help out, so how many and what jobs do I need to kill these NMs?? so I dont waist anyones time???

I know that equipping this will make the wyvern use cure breath when the Dragoon's HP is at 50% but does this armet have any effect on attack breaths?

I had no problem getting my Kuftal/Cauldron coffers, but the keys...was another story. However, you don't get this from a coffer, so why was it even brought up???

Since this is a rare exclusive you can only hold one at once. Say you were to drop the item after you obtained it. Would you be able to do the coffer over again? Wondering how rare/exclusive works.

Here's a good map with Coffer Spawn points for all my fellow DRG's!^^

Hehe I did this and it was so much fun. I love doing AF quest because it's a way to get some very good equipment at the expense of some players time and money. I love this armet and have no plans of changing my armet tell at the very least dragon or crimson mask. I want to end the drg career with wyrm armet though or wyvern. ^^

I'd have to say Dragoon AF3 is the easiest of all other jobs. Getting key for Kuftal Tunnel isnt a problem, but finding the coffer chest maybe.(I found coffer chest on way to XP in Cape Terrigan ^_^ ) But the NM fight is the easiest of all AF3 fights. Simply fight your way to the NM room or invisible the alliance. (I'd prefer fighting) the room is so close by. You must have your wyvern out to spawn the 2 NM's. Send 1 Dragoon with his/her wyvern out and sneak him/her and spawn the NM's and run back. Get a summoner to pull the RIGHT side NM with carby. You do not have to fight the left. When my alliance did this AF for me we only killed the right one and the left one disappeared. (it was about 2 1/2 full parties.) d(^_^)b good luck!!

GOD i hate finding coffer chest locations Dragoon's have the worst places. No one can solo kuftal tunnel or ifrit's cauldren. >< well good luck, still cant find the coffer chest in kuftal.

OK>>> LISTEN UP!! DO NOT LISTEN TO ELADMARI's POST!!

FIRST ... you must start this quest by TALKING TO RAHAL!! You WILL GET A CUTSCENE. If you got no cutscene... finish your other AF's first. DO NOT OPEN THE COFFER IN KUFTAL BEFORE ACTIVATING THE QUEST. Rahal then sends you to Brugaire which by now you should be familiar with. Just talk to the elvaan on the right in Cargo Room A and it will do another cutscene. Brugaire will then send you to Kuftal to get the key item. This is as far as I am.

I head somewhere that you need to have wyvern out when opening the cofer.

The NPC is Balasiel, in watchdog Alley in Southern San d'Oria

Quest is pretty straight forward.

First you need to make sure that you have your AF2 completed (Drachen Brais) and have the quest for the hands and boots activated, from the armor shop in upper jeuno.

2nd, while leveling in Kuftal Tunnel, obtain the coffer key. Open the coffer, obtain the key item, challenge to the royal knights (or something similar to that). Take this item to Rahal, and he will tell you to talk to the person who gives you the PLD flag quest, cannot remember his name. (oops). After doing this, you're set for the NM fight, that takes place in the Temple of Uggalepih, in SE Yhoator Jungle.

This fight is not very hard, just have to be careful. once you get to the temple, you follow a straight path up, until a T intersection w/ 2 doors. Take the right door, and proceed all the way, following the path, killing all the tonberry in your way. drop some nice goodies, worth the trek. You will eventually head south until there is a large door on your right, this is the room with the 2 Shadows that you must fight. Clear out the entire room of all Wespe and Tonberry. For a change, the crawlers are no aggro, so leave them be. After this, have a dragoon run up to the ??? at the center platform and examine. 2 shadows come, have a summoner pull one of them at a time w/ carbuncle, or some other cheap trick pull, so you only have to fight one at a time. Watch out for dimensional death, as usual w/ shadows. After the fight, dragoons examine and get a massive, most excellent cutscene. so stop your party chat and let the poor guys listen to the thing ^^. Thats pretty much it, after the CS is over, you obtain the Drachen Armet, and you're set for level 60.

All of this was done w/ an alliance of lv56-58, with about 2-3 lv60s helping out. Not too terribly hard at all, compared to some other AF3 quests.

Hope this helps out!
