Garlaige Coffer - WHM AF
|
SummaryTrade a Garlaige coffer key to a treasure coffer in Garlaige Citadel to receive your Healer's Cap. WalkthroughYou must have completed Messenger from Beyond - WHM AF1 and activated Borghertz's Healing 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.

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 white mage when you open this coffer. Trade your coffer key to the coffer to receive your Healer's Cap. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the white mage artifact gear quest series. The complete series includes:

coffer popped behind me. i'm so happy!
Finally got my hat last night. Died 5 times in the process, but I got it, and I have a hilarious story.
After a couple hours of trying, I get 3 competant people to help me get through banishing gate #2. After I was through, they got agroed by a few things and died quickly. I felt real bad and was apologizing to them and didn't realize invisible wearing off..
Got agroed by a beetle. Elemental Seal, Sleep, Deodorize, Sneak, Invisible.. Start running to get out of range before my buffs wear off. Deodorize starts wearing off right away and the beetle wakess up, but doesn't move towards me or anything. I move as fast as I can, trying to get out of scent range before deodorize wears off, and stopped at a safe dead-end spot. Waited a couple seconds and nothing. Whew. Got out of dodge. Start resting and 8 beetles come around the corner. Died quickly.
Took a quick break, and then reraised. I recasted reraise, healed up and started resting for MP. I get 60 MP and gate #2 starts opening. I'm thinking, "Oh no.. Nobody's beating me to the coffer if it's here." So, still weakened, I cast sneak/invis and start running.
I see a high level THF and coming towards me to check where I was resting. I basically had a head start to 1 coffer spawn. I get there and I see it! Take 2 more steps and see 2 beetles staring right at it. Great. Oh well. Decided to get it and not care if I died again.
I take invisible down and quickly use my key...
"You cannot open the chest while in a weakened state."
"OMFG, WHAT???" >< >< ><
I was reeeeeeeeeeeally frustrated, and kept retrying the key in my anger. I died.
After I died, I fell down, of course. Then I got up, opened the coffer, got my hat and fell back down. It was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen on the game and totally relieved the frustration this damn coffer gave me.
So remember. You can't open chests/coffers while weakened, but keep trying. You can open them after you're dead. :)

It's called a lag glitch, my genius-of-a-friend. It's not hard to figure out. Happens to anyone with a crappy connection or a PS2. Lag spurts.

So I can now get this quest started at lvl 50? what happened to it being lvl 54?
Getting the quest and equiping the item is two seperate things.
You can do this quest at 50.
You can not wear it until 54.

Ok as far as the key drop goes.... go on a full moon or at least close to it. Every time I go for a drop on a full moon its almost on the 1st or 2nd kill. Luck has nothing to do with it kiddo's ~.^

Got mine today after approximately two days. I was stranded behind the third gate, not being able to get a pt to go through Gate 2 after logging once I hit #3... seems that Gate 2 has much better spawns. =o Hmm.

stuped noob you ever herd of reraise. Dont try to kill a bunch of noobs becuase your stuped and couldnt take it like a man. Its not there fault you were stuped and lost snk/vis beside mobs so dant make others suffer becuase your incopatent take it like a man and die.
This is uber annoying. We started an alliance of about 9 yesterday, and set off. Four people needed keys. We had no THF.. Well, we did, but they left within 5-10 minutes. We went for three hours, pulling Fallen Majors/Mages, Wraiths.. One key drop in 3 hours.. I lost the lot to the PLD, who got it 90 points above me. /sigh
We ALL died once. The DRK pulled a Fallen Major and aggro'd a Hellmine.. And then the party next to use trained two bats on us. Needless to say, we killed the Major and then proceeded on the Hellmine, which self destructed and killed us all. It the poor DRK for 1.3k and me for 600 [I was basically tanking the bats at the time for a little bit ><;;]
Although.. The party next to use Raised us, as well as my 55WHM friend.. So that was okay..

Did this again tonight. Me = 53WHM as well as a 55WHM, 62RDM, 60THF, 55 PLD, 58DRK. Proceeded to pull Fallen Majors/Mages in the tunnel of the basement. A little while later, they dropped a key. :) I won the lot, got 997 points. Success.. But then the DRK had to leave.
Started again.. With just 5 people. ^^ Had no problem, even when we pulled a link. The RDM basically solo'd one while we healed everyone, and the THF and PLD on the other one. But no key dropped.
The good news, though.. We were getting about 20 exp per.. And toward the end the RDM level to 63. :)
Now I just got to bare the Banishing Gates and open my coffer.. And finish off my 3.2 exp left before I get 54.. ^^

I did the AF 1 (for the "Blessed Hammer").
I started the "Borghertz's Hands" quest (with WHM, and with no other job), but didn't finish it.
I got the Coffer key from a Weapon.
I got help from some guys passing by, who opened the 1st gate. I reached the 3rd gate. Those guys opened that gate too.
I ran through... I went to the Coffer I had seen from another place (from where I couldn't reach it). I traded the key...
" This chest is empty. " And it faded away.
I was like.. WHAT???? O_O
That was a Treasure Coffer, anyway, not a Treasure Chest... even if it said the "chest" was empty. And it spawned where the Coffer was supposed to be. So, don't start thinking it was the wrong box. ^^
WHY didn't I get my AF hat??? ; ;
Can someone explain me that, plz???
(oh, and I still have the key)

Apparenlty you have one game week to get all the af stuff after you activate the bogarts hands quest.
so if your time expries you have to go talk to him again to restart the tine
that isnt confermed though but it would explain how you "didnt find anything"

This isn't true. Reason I know this to be the case is I had my Garlaige coffer key for 3 weeks after accepting the quest due to the fact I was having problems getting people to go past BG3 with me. Eventually I found help and was given the item.

This one was kind of a pain, just because I hate all the silly 4 person switches and whatnot. Getting the coffer key was easy enough, got it in an experience points party in lower Garlaige around level 51-52 killing Fallen Mages and Fallen Majors. The first one we killed dropped it. Ha ha ha. I got lucky (for once) on the lotting; around 950! After the party disbanded I went to do my AF2 (WHM) and then turned around and did this one. Getting 3 people that can understand what the hell you're trying to say on Bismarck Server at about 6am EST and WANT to help you is damn near impossible so this took a lot of patience. Not something I have in large quantities. I waited forever to get thru that third banishing gate and many thanks to Tat, and Tejmujin or i think that's how you spell it, for their help in opening that frigging gate. Also made a new friend, i think it starts with an "A", sorry buddy staying up and playing FFXI for hours straight makes me st00pid. Valoras! That was it! Thank you Valoras! (Hmm. Guess it didn't start with an "A") After the 3rd gate and up on the passage to the right was THE COFFER! Also right next to it was an invisible 53 WHM. Very uncool. However, I didn't have invisible cast on me, only sneak. So while she was struggling to drop her buffs, I ran up and opened it to get MY WHM AF! /hurray
That will teach you to be sneaky. <insert evil laugher> 2 pieces of AF attained in one long *** night. Big a$$ grats to me.

Was running around goofing off when a LS friend yells at me to come to Garlaige. I come to find out that he'd just joined an alliance to gather Coffer keys. So woopy do I get to hop in too. Surprisingly out of the 12 man alliance we only needed 5 keys, go figure. We commenced killing Over Weapons, Vault Weapons, Tainted Fleshes, Fallen Majors, and Fallen Mages. We decimated everything that came our way. And recieved the keys in what seemed about 20-30 mins. Only had one death because a RDM decided to stand too close to a party that happened to be fighting Serket (awesome looking NM scorpion), who's AOE is very big. But anyways, everybody that needed a ring got it without and big problems. Then the alliance broke up for people to run off and do other things. Only 5 people stayed back to actually find the coffer. WHM/BLM (me), RDM/BLM, RDM/BLM, MNK/???. We were all low 50's except a 58 RDM. We had no problems keeping sneak and invisible casted on all of us with the combined coverage of 2 RDM and a WHM. The MNK was able to take care of anything that aggrod with some help from us mages. We got to Banishing Gate #3 and found 3 Coffers. The first one was stolen by an @$shole BST that'd train his junk towards us. But after a 30 mins wait we got the next spawn, then another 30 mins later another spawn. If that doesn't clue yall in the coffers take 30 mins to spawn if a Coffer key was used to open it. After another 30 mins the Coffer didn't spawn behind Banishing Gate #3, so we decide to try out behind Banishing Gate #2. Took us about 5 mins to get down there and open it right up. Found the Coffer in 2 mins after getting behind the door. I got this one so I recieved my Garlaige Citadel Coffer item (Healer's Cap) in under 2 hours of getting the key. :-)
I stayed behind to help the last man get his coffer 30 mins later, then we were all done. Easy key to get if you have good mages that know what to do and the 4 people minimum to get through the gates. Also I got to get the Stone Monument from Saurumogue while behind Banishing Gate #3. Yay 10K with Healer's Cap. Not bad for about 2 hours of work. Hope that helps yall some or was a good read for yall. Peace!!!

I've taken three parties to Garliage for this key, two normal but balanced parties and a 10 person alliance. We found zero keys... zero. We killed magic jugs, fallen officers and fallen mages for a total of 5 hours or more. The first PT had TH3, the second and third only TH1 or 2. It's an extreamly low drop.

This quest is not *repeatable* but if you drop your cap you may do it again to get a replacement. You have to talk to a different npc. This was added in one of the updates awhile back.
Neither variant of Fallen Officer drops the coffer key. They drop the chest key, which is useless to people looking for their AF in Garliage.
Here's an actual list of mobs that drop the coffer key:
Wraith
Fallen Major
Fallen Mage
Hellmine
Over Weapon
Vault Weapon
Magic Jug
Tainted Flesh
Furthermore this quest is not repeatable, strictly speaking. You simply have to get another Garliage Coffer (after talking to Guslam for the quest) for PLD, BLM and RDM coffers if you level those jobs to the point where they start receiving their AF.
Edit:
A good place to go hunting for keys is on the 4th map of the Citadel (where Serket Spawns). The southern area is crawling with Vault Weapons (Red Mage type) and Over Weapons (Warrior Type). A proper experience gain party should have little trouble disposing of them (just watch for the links and magic aggro). If you are lucky enough to have high level help (or a really really great party), there are also Magic Jugs and Tainted Flesh mobs down there. If everyone has signet cast you'll get a lot of earth/wind/light crystals this way, along with undead skins and beastmen/kindred seals. Just watch for Magic Jugs. They cast Flood. ; ;

Keys also drop off of the Weapons in the lower level of the citadel.

Yeah you can get the keys off magic jug and weapons also. In my party we got one off each.
