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 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 ***** 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 ><

You need to do af2 before you can, just like all AFs
wow, that's odd.
1 of my ls, got the same problem... she wants to start this quest but she can't.
she done, AF1.
AF2 not yet start.
and we all thought she need more fame to start the quest.
my case, was I done AF1, started AF2 but not yet finish. I got this "Borghertz's Sorcerous Hands" quest started right after I got my AF2 quest.
um... it seem u r right about this... got to tell somebody!!

to make it easier .. i tanked the Dark spark as lvl 55 NIN .. so it`s no big deal tanking Dark spark .. just get alot of damage dealers with u ;) .. i had a lvl 55 RNG and 60 DRK with me
no main healer .. they butchered him before he could scratch me .. RNG was about to log so he used all his super attacks .. barrage .. Eagle eye shot .. side winder .. and DRK used Guillutine (not sure about spelling ) and poof .. poor spark went off ..

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.

Yin Pocanakhu can be found in Neptune's Spire Inn, down in the HQ so you have to be a member.
since when is there an AH in port jueno? Only upper and lower have AH's dont they?
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.

There is an AH in every portion of Jeuno:
Port Jeuno:
Down by the chocobo stables, there are 4 npcs standing around.
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. =]
