Summary

A piece of samurai artifact gear lays hidden in a coffer in Quicksand Caves.

Walkthrough

Note: To begin this quest, you must have completed The Sacred Katana - SAM AF1 and activated the quest Borghertz's Loyal Hands.

Head to Quicksand Caves and find a Quicksand coffer key. These drop from Helm Beetles, Antican Hastatuses, Antican Princepses, Antican Signifier, Sabotender Bailaors, Sand Eaters, Sand Lizards and Sand Spiders.

Next, find a treasure coffer. All of the coffer locations are accessible by entering the caves from K-7 in Eastern Altepa Desert. The treasure coffers spawn on the first floor at J-11, J-13 and E-10, and on the second floor at H-8, H-11, E-11, C-9, F-10, K-10 and M-9.

Trade your key to the treasure coffer to receive your Myochin Haidate. You must be a samurai when you open this coffer.

Completed this quest last night and got my Myochin Haidate. I went as a 50SAM/25WHM and just sneaked myself as necessary. I found my coffer at E-11 on the second floor. There were no mobs close so that when I opended the coffer and sneak wore off, I had no problem. Than I just warped out. A useful site for this map (coffer locations as well) is:

This site has great map information. Good luck to all the Samurai out there.

I took my rdm to 52 before I decided to become a sam. I have completed my af2 and want to get my pants. I have the loyal hands quest flaged for my rdm but it is not complete. I can not get it activated for my sam. So my question is... can i do this if i have a different jobs Glove af ativated and not the sam one. I want to get my gloves but i dont want to wait on getting my pants since i have the key already. Any help would be great thanks.

There is a guy that removes all AF Quests, but you'll have to delete all AF first.

*edit* here he is: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/bestiary.html?fmob=3195

*edit* btw... how is this a question about fumas? ^^

Well, I got 6710 gil out of one of these coffers today. I had already got the map and also got another key while I was leveling there so I decided to go back and see what a coffer had waiting for me. I believe the moon phase was around 90% or more. It was a Full moon and 95% when I had logged out about 30 min to an hour after the fact.

I finally finished this quest, I thought there'd be more to it but I just had my friend sneak me and there was a coffer in J-13.

This partis easy with silent oil and prism powder u should be ok to find coffer. But watch out when u open it becuase sneak wears off and all the Anticans will be on u. I got killed but it was worth it.
wait what
# Nov 02 2004 at 2:37 AM Rating: Decent
so i have to have the AF gloves and boots done or just the Af sword and boots? or have it flagged i mean
RE: wait what
# Nov 07 2004 at 11:48 AM Rating: Decent
You have to have completed the AF1 to get your AF Sword. Then you have to go to norg and Talk to Jaux... again to "flag" the AF2 Quest at lvl 50. You dont have to complete AF2 to get this quest. You can do them out of order.
Flagged or completed???
# Oct 21 2004 at 10:09 PM Rating: Decent
Lord Ill and Larry.. quick question... do we have to have the AF2 (boots) complete to do this? Or can you just do it if you have the hands and boots quests flagged? Anyone else know?
easy for me

I went in as a 51Sam/25WHM and found it pretty fast. I only had to cast sneak 2 times. Also i asked a high lvl to tell me if he found one and he found one very quickly.
Incredible luck
# Oct 08 2004 at 6:06 AM Rating: Decent
I hunted this before when i was a 54sam. Used like 2 stacks of silent oils plus i didnt how to access the 2nd floor.

Getting tierd of shouting for help (for weeks) i decided to give it another try.

Bought 3 stacks of SO and subbed a rdm.
Can you believe i just went in and instead of going to find the second floor i said "hmm let me check the first floor jusnt in case".

On my first chest spot J-11, there is was behind the rock. Almost in disbelief i opened it with 3 of them antoids (checked as decent) in the room facing the other way and frantically trying to find the sneak spell to cast i just went ahead and used a oil instead.

Man this has to be my luckiest thing that happend to me in the game yet and i never really luck out anything.
So happy that i came and wrote it here now 5 mins after i got it (Fri, Oct 08, 04).
PS
Nice Bday present too since it 2 days away. :)

# Sep 03 2004 at 8:40 PM Rating: Decent
well its not that hard just have to get the key then find the chest but trust me when i say this don't think ur a powerful super human guy or somethin and charge in not knowing what can be in there if u do u'll end up like i did goin in half assed with a lvl 33 whm

btw his names lryca really funny guy always misaken for a girl though cause them tunics.

I have both the hand armor and feet armor AF quests flagged, and I can't get this one. Are you sure that one does not have to complete one of those before being able to get this quest?
RE: hmm...
# Aug 24 2004 at 2:02 PM Rating: Decent
Your First and Second AF(s) have to be completed. But I am not sure about this being flagged I think you just go out and get it in the coffers as mentioned in the walkthrough theres no flag.
Coffer
# Jul 17 2004 at 6:56 PM Rating: Decent
Does the coffer have a certain respawn time, because when I went in there, I couldn't find it and I followed the Helf Website walkthrough.
Another thing I was wondering, the two places where there is a hole that opens up, the coffer spawns there and I was wondering if it is on top or do I fall in the hole to get it

I pretty much did the same and walked around the first two floors of Quciksand caves and used up 12 Silent Oils with no luck. What is the respawn time for the coffers? I plan on bringing 24 Silent Oils this time and just keep walking in circles until it pops. I really NEED those pants! (|_|)

RE: noooo

from E-10, drop into that trench and continue south... that tunnel will take you to the 2nd floor.
I took a chance and found out today....
After 2 hours, I found my coffer chest on the first floor, J13

They drop all the time from Helm Beetles, when you're leveling in Quicksand Caves. It's probably the easiest coffer key to get.
hmm

Hmm this sounds too easy... (compared to the previous AF quest for Sam) ... whats the catch?
RE: hmm
# Aug 24 2004 at 2:05 PM Rating: Decent
It is and for good reason SAM AF's are the hardest in the game (or at least to my knowlage one of the hardest) The Artifact Quests are hard, those are (three total) The Mogaruku, The Myochin Sune-ate, and the Helm (I forget the name) The rest of your equip. are coffer related.
Helpful website

I wrote this guide. I only included the map locations of the treasure coffers becuase I don't know how allakhazam feels about using links to other sites, anyway here is what I used to find the coffer. This site is EXTREMELY helpful.
