Question on AF3 stuff

[Viro]

I liked the info from the AF1 thread I read but I'm curious on it in more detail.

What I'm wondering is now that I got the Af2 finished, can I just go to the chests & open them for the rest of the suit or do I have to have AF3 activated & beaten or something?

Also what do I do for the AF Gloves? Read it was a separate quest. Do I need to beat this quest in order to get the rest of the suit or it's just on its own?

A lot of people seem to be misinformed or confused about the AFs, so I'll try to break it down briefly.

No matter what people say, there are only 3 AF quests (some people say AF4, AF5, etc., but there are only 3 AF quests).

AF1 quest = AF weapon, acceptable at 40.
AF2 quest = AF Equipment, acceptable at 50.
AF3 quest = AF Equipment, acceptable at 50 and after AF2 is completed.

Now, here's the deal with the other AF equips. Once you have opened/accepted the AF2 quest, you are allowed to accept the Lost Armguard of Bolghertz quest (or w/e it's called) from Guslam. Only way you can't accept it other then not having opened AF2 is that you previously didnt complete this quest for a different job. The Bolghertz quest is one in which you get a key item from a Treasure Coffer and then eventually fight an NM bomb named Dark Spark for another key item which is exchanged for your AF gloves.

When you have the Bolghertz quest accepted/completed, you are allowed to open the 2 Treasure Coffers that hold your remaining AF equips. You can only open the coffer with the job you are attempting to get the AF from. The key item for the Bolghertz quest, however, can be retrieved using any job.

Hope this clears any questions you have.

Right now i'm a lvl 60 sam and doing AF3.
But i need some info on the 3 demons, do the PT fight it all at once? How high a level PT i need to kill those 3 Demons?
Thanks

The 3 demons are DRK BLM and SMN. You need a 70+ PT to be able to defeat them. You have to fight all 3 at one time.
