I will explain what the coffers are as we go through the quests together.

Before I begin this portion of the FAQ, I want to make it clear that I personally have not done the quest and this section is entirely the contribution of one of my Dragoon buddies who has.
Hence I will return to this section once I personally do the AF armor to see if anything needs to be added. Without further ado...

Dragoon AF1
-----------
Item: Peregrine, Level 42 Lance, DMG: 61 DELAY: 492 DEX+1 VIT+1

This quest is triggered by going to the the NPC Miaux in North San d'Oria.

You will then need to travel to East Altepa to the (???) point. (I do not have the exact location, this will be added when I get it)

Upon touching the ??? point a boss fight will ensue with an Antican!

Once the Antica is defeated, touch the ??? point again.

Then you must return to Miaux and you will be given your first AF item.

To complete this portion of the AF, you require a party of level 45 players or bring 2 level 60 friends or 1 level 70 friend. ^^

Dragoon AF2
-----------
Item: Drachen Brais (see AF components for details of item)

This quest can only be triggered upon completion of AF1.

You will need to travel to Port San d'Oria and speak to Cerulean in Warehouse A.

At this point you will need to obtain a "Gold Hairpin" item (Auction House) and trade itback to Cerulean.

Once the hairpin is surrendered to him, *you must wait 24 hours of real life time* and talk to him again.

After speaking to him again, you will need to travel back to Miaux in North San
d'Oria to get a "key item".

You will then need to trek to Hume city of Bastok, where you will need to locate the NPC Ardea just outside the Goldsmith Guild in the Bastok Market area.

Then, you must hoof it back to West Ronfuare and go to the tower directly to the West of San d'Oria once you come out and speak with the NPC named Esca.

You will then need to go through Eldieme Necropolis to reach Battalia Island.

Located the ??? point and touch it.

A fight with a Tiger Boss will ensue.

Upon defeat of the Tiger Boss touch the ??? again.

Return and speak to Cerulean once more to obtain your AF2 item.

That was a pretty short quest wasn't it? /me hides.

Coffers
-------
Before I begin this portion I want everyone who does not know that coffers are similar to treasure chests. Similar in the sense that a key is obtained (coffer key NOT treasure chest key) and is used on the respective coffer chest.

That being said we can continue.

The next 3 portions of the AF quests are completed with coffers.

Coffer #1 (Quicksand Caves)
---------
Item: Drachen greaves (see AF components for details of item)

This quest is triggered by going to visit the NPC Guslam in Upper Jeuno. Guslam can be located within the Shield Shop.

What you will need to do is travel to Quicksand Caves and locate the coffer there.

The coffer key is dropped off the enemies (Helm Beetles & Anticans)

Remember, coffer key, not chest key.

Use your coffer key on the coffer. Voila!

Coffer #2 (Boyahda Tree/Dark Spark)
---------
Item: Drachen Finger Guantlets

Travel to the Boyahda Tree and locate the coffer within.

The monsters that drop the coffer key are Crawlers, Spiders, Goobbue and
Mariouche.

Upon opening the coffer, you will obtain a "key item".

Return to Guslam with the key item and speak to the NPC.

What you will do now is travel to Zvahl Bailey's and walk in until you see the torches.

Touch the torch and a Dark Spark will appear!!

Kill the Dark Spark and touch the torch again.

At this point you must return to Port Jeuno and located the point labeled ??? and touch it.

The ghost will give you the AF item.

Coffer #3 (Ifrit's Cauldron)
---------
To Be Added at a later date. Incomplete Information on hand currently.

Dragoon AF3
-----------
To Be Added at a later date. Incomplete Information on hand currently.

33) Can you also tell us about Dragoon JSE (Job Specific Equipment) a bit?
A: The JSE is what we would call "endgame" armor. The usage requirements are high (level-wise) and the stats are outstanding. Here is a list of the 5 parts.

It is important to note that JSE can only be obtained by crafting or buy purchasing it from a crafter via AH or one on one trade/sale.

Dragon Mask
Def: 23 HP+10
Breath damage taken -4%
Level 68 DRG

Dragon Mail
Def: 47 HP+12
Breath damage taken -9%
Level 70 DRG

Dragon Finger Guantlets
Def: 15 HP+8
Breath damage taken -4%
Level 68 DRG

Dragon Greaves
Def: 13 HP+9
Breath damage taken -4%
Level 68 DRG

Dragon Cuisses
Def: 31 HP+11
Breath damage taken -4%
Level 69 DRG

34) Ok what about endgame weaponry? What is the ultimate lance?
A: Well i've asked this quite a few times myself, but, you need not look any further than the Colossal Lance in the Auction House as to what your endgame weapon should be...here are it's stats and I think it speaks for itself.

Colossal Lance, DMG: 88 DELAY: 492 HP+25 STR+3 VIT+5 Level 70 DRG wow!

=====================

Although it is now closer to completion, this FAQ is still evolving.

I hope it clears up some confusion surrounding the job and I will be adding more information as I obtain it.

If anyone would like to contribute to this FAQ, please feel free to email me at the address I have listed at the top.

Finally, if you wish to use information from here or reproduce it in some form, please give the credit where it's due. And let me know, I would love to see where this information has traveled to. ^^

Again, I welcome all creative criticism or requests for additions, just email me. Address is at the top of the FAQ. If you decide to email me about stuff unrelated to the Dragoon Job, please understand if you do not get a prompt reply.

Until next time...may the winds of fortune be at your back.... - Lance

========================
* once I personally do the AF quest, the AF portion of the FAQ will be revisited and re-written.
* I receive many emails regarding fame being required for certain things (i.e. needing fame to rename your wyvern). Until I can confirm this first-hand, I will leave the entries "as-is". If I don't visit them down the road, then it means the FAQ entry is 100% accurate. Until that time ALL material should be considered to have a possible margin of error.
** note ** no further updates planned.
