== Walkthrough ==
*Travel to "Durable Shields" in [[Upper Jeuno]] and speak with [[Guslam]] located at (H-8) to begin the quest.
*Go to [[Ifrit's Cauldron]]
:*Unity Warp (Level 122) → Yhoator Jungle → hug the right wall. It's a short ride.
:*Alternatively, you may use the Elshimo Uplands Outpost Warp or Survival Guide.
*Either obtain a [[Cld. Coffer Key |Cauldron Coffer Key]] and use it to open one of the chests found in the area, or pick the lock as a [[Thief]].
:*You do not need to be on [[Ninja]] when opening the coffer.
:*You may purchase a [[Cld. Coffer Key |Cauldron Coffer Key]] from any Nation's [[Curio Vendor Moogle]].
*You will receive a {{KI}}[[Old gauntlets]] from the coffer.
*Return to [[Upper Jeuno]] and speak to [[Guslam]]. He will inform you he is unable to repair the gauntlets.
*Speak to [[Deadly Minnow]] inside of the Durable Shields shop.
*Head to [[Lower Jeuno]] inside the Tenshodo area. Speak with [[Yin Pocanakhu]] at (J-8) and then trade 1,000 gil to continue.
:*If you have completed the AF hands quest on another job, you do not need to view this cutscene or pay gil.
*Go to [[Port Jeuno]] and head to the crates near the AH and Jeuno Duty-Free Shop at (H-8).
*Click on the ??? to receive a cutscene.
*Travel to [[Castle Zvahl Baileys]] and go to (F-8) on the first map.
:*Easiest way here is [[Survival Guide]] Teleport.
:*Otherwise, you'll have to walk it from the [[Castle Zvahl Keep]] [[Home Point]].
*Click on one of the torches to spawn [[Dark Spark]].
*Once [[Dark Spark]] is defeated, examine the same torch you used to spawn it. You will receive the {{KI}}[[Shadow flames]].
:*Note: If you forget to click the Torch after killing the [[Dark Spark]], you can come back and click the same one and still receive your {{KI}}[[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:

*[[Sea Serpent Grotto]] - {{ItemIcon|Ninja Kyahan|}} {{tooltip|text=[[Ninja Kyahan]]|tooltip=[[File:Ninja Kyahan description.png]]}}
**This area requires you to pass the Mythril Door and obtain a [[Grotto Coffer Key]], which can be obtained from various enemies in the area past the Mythril door.
**Interact with the door multiple times until it mentions ''"You find something that looks like mythril dust scattered about the indentation."'', and then you will be able to trade a [[Mtl._Beastcoin|Mythril Beastcoin]] to it to get access to Map 3.
**All of the Treasure Coffers are in this part of the zone.
*[[The Boyahda Tree]] - {{ItemIcon|Ninja Hatsuburi|}} {{tooltip|text=[[Ninja Hatsuburi]]|tooltip=[[File:Ninja Hatsuburi description.png]]}}
** This item requires you to obtain a [[Byd. Coffer Key]] from the various enemies that inhabit the zone.
**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 [[Ninja]] as your main job when you open these coffers.
