Previous Quest: Messenger from Beyond
Next Quest: Pieuje's Decision and Borghertz's Healing Hands



Walkthrough
* Start this quest by checking the door to Prince Regent's Room (facing south in small courtyard at H-8) in Chateau d'Oraguille, you will be asked to obtain the Yagudo Holy Water and a pair of Moccasins.
* NOTE: Moccasins +1 are not accepted. (So use caution when making these if you have a high level of Leathercraft.)
* Go to Castle Oztroja and kill the Yagudo Abbots for the Yagudo Holy Water and Moccasins.
* Yagudo Abbots spawn behind the brass door at (G-8) on map 3, the one you use the four levers to open. The combination to these levers can be found behind the secret door at (I-10) on the same map.
* Yagudo Abbots located at (G-9) & (G-10) on map 2 in Castle Zvahl Keep can also drop Yagudo Holy Water at a high rate. Although fewer of them spawn in this zone, they are 1-7 levels lower than Yagudo Abbots in Castle Oztroja.
* Moccasins can also be crafted or purchased from the Auction House. Yagudo Abbots in Castle Oztroja can drop these but the drop rate is very rare.
* Trade both items to Narcheral (M-6) upstairs in the cathedral in Northern San d'Oria to complete the quest.

Borghertz's Healing Hands
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Start NPC: Guslam - Upper Jeuno (H-8)
Requirements: White Mage 50+, Must have started Prelude of Black and White quest
Items Needed: Beadeaux Coffer Key, Garlaige Coffer Key, Nest Coffer Key
Title: None
Repeatable: Yes, see Vingijard after AF is complete.
Reward: Healer's Mitts, Healer's Cap, Healer's Pantaloons

Previous Quest: Prelude of Black and White
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 Beadeaux and open a coffer there, so either:
* Obtain a Beadeaux Coffer Key; or come as a thief and bring along tools to pick the lock.
* Open a coffer in Beadeaux 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:
* Garlaige Citadel: Healer's Cap
* Crawlers' Nest: Healer's Pantaloons
* You must have WHM as your main job when you open these coffers.

Notes
* You must have started Prelude of Black and White (AF2) to get 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.
