If you have any other Borghertz's Hands quest active, you must complete that one before you can start this quest!

Walkthrough

Travel to the Durable Shields shop in Upper Jeuno and speak with Guslam located at (H-8) on Thief to begin the quest.

  • Go to Davoi, then travel to Monastic Cavern, and locate a Treasure Coffer.
  • Either obtain a Davoi Coffer Key to open it, or pick the lock.
    • You do not need to be on Thief when opening the coffer.
  • You will receive Key Item Old gauntlets from the coffer.
  • Return to Upper Jeuno and speak to Guslam inside the Durable Shields shop. He will state he's unable to repair the gauntlets.
  • If this is your first AF you must do the following, otherwise skip these steps:
  • Go to Port Jeuno and head to the crates near the Auction House and Duty-Free Shop at (H-8).
  • Click on the ??? toolbox atop the crates to receive a cutscene.
  • Travel to Castle Zvahl Baileys and go to (F-8) on the first map.
  • Click on one of the torches to spawn Dark Spark.
  • Once Dark Spark is defeated, examine one of the torches for Key Item Shadow flames.
  • Return to Port Jeuno and examine the ??? again. After the cutscene, the quest is complete.

Two Additional Coffers

Guslam mentions that there is still armor scattered about Vana'diel. You can find two more pieces of armor by opening coffers in the following zones with the corresponding coffer key:

  • Castle Oztroja - Rogue's Culottes icon.png Rogue's Culottes
  • Castle Zvahl Baileys - Rogue's Vest icon.png Rogue's Vest
    • These coffers are not required to complete the quest, therefore after you receive your hands the quest is "completed".
    • The quest must either be active or completed in order to receive these attire pieces.
    • You must have Thief as your main job when you open these coffers.
