Requirements: Summoner 50+, Must have started Class Reunion quest
Items Needed: Grotto Coffer Key, Toraimarai Coffer Key, Uggalepih Coffer Key
Title: None
Repeatable: Yes, see Vingijard after AF is complete.
Reward: Evoker's Bracers, Evoker's Doublet, Evoker's Pigaches

Previous Quest: Class Reunion
Next Quest: None

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 Sea Serpent Grotto and open a coffer there, so either:
* Obtain a Grotto Coffer Key; or come as a thief and bring along tools to pick the lock.
* Open a coffer in Sea Serpent Grotto and obtain the Old Gauntlets (key item).
* If you are reacquiring AF or getting AF for another job, skip this portion and proceed to the next step. If this is your first job, do the following:
* Head back to Upper Jeuno and talk to Guslam again, who will tell you he lacks the skill to repair them.
* 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:
* Temple of Uggalepih: Evoker's Doublet
* Toraimarai Canal: Evoker's Pigaches
* You must have SMN as your main job when you open these coffers.

Notes
* You must have (at least) started Class Reunion (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.
* If your coffer in Temple of Uggalepih for the Evoker's Doublet is at E-8 you will need an Uggalepih Key, if the coffer is at E-7 you will need an Uggalepih Key and a Prelate Key in addition to the Uggalepih Coffer Key to get to the chest.
