Walkthrough

• Speak to Guslam at H-8 in Upper Jeuno in the Durable Shields shop and accept the quest.

The Hands

• You'll need to head to Eldieme Necropolis and open a coffer there, so either:

• Obtain a Eldieme Coffer Key; or
• Come as a thief and bring along tools to pick the lock (see Picking your Coffers and Chests).

• Open a coffer in Eldieme Necropolis and obtain the Old Gauntlets (key item).
• Head back to Upper Jeuno and talk to Guslam again, who will tell you he lacks the skill to repair them.
• If this is your first AF quest (this part does not need to be repeated if it is your second or higher AF quest):

• Deadly Minnow, behind the counter in the same shop as Guslam, will tell you to find a Mithra at the Tenshodo for more information.
• Go to Lower Jeuno and go into the Tenshodo to talk to Yin Pocanakhu at J-8. Pay her 1,000 gil to hear her story.

• Head to Port Jeuno, go downstairs into the Auction House area, and find a ??? on some crates outside the Jeuno Duty-Free Shop (H-8).
• Click on the ??? for a cutscene and ask to have the gloves repaired.
• Go to F-8 in Castle Zvahl Baileys and touch one of the torches to spawn Dark Spark.
• Kill Dark Spark.
• Touch the torch again (make sure you touch the same torch you used to spawn him) to receive the Shadow Flames (key item).

• If other players in the party also need this key item, they can touch the torch as well - you don't have to fight him for each person.

• Head back to Port Jeuno and click on the ??? at the toolbox for a cutscene. This completes the quest.

The Rest

• Guslam mentions something about armor scattered about Vana'diel. You can find two more pieces of armor by simply opening coffers in the following zones:

• Castle Oztroja: Warlock's Tabard
• Garlaige Citadel: Warlock's Tights

• You must have RDM as your main job when you open these coffers.

Notes

• You must complete activate Enveloped in Darkness (AF2) before you can start this quest.
• If you have any other Borghertz's Hands quest active you will need to complete that one before you can get this quest.
• After starting the quest, you can obtain the rewards in any order.
• The quest is marked complete upon obtaining the gloves.
