AF1: Magoroku
[Lv42 DMG56 DLY450 STR+1 AGI+1]
Requirements:
Lv40.
Step 1: Speak with Jaucribaix to acquire the quest. Gilgamesh wishes to perform Yomi Okuri, a ceremony to help the dead spirits of his massacred countrymen find eternal rest. Jaucribaix requires your Mumeito and a 'Handful Crystal Scales' [key item] to forge a sacred katana for the ceremony.
Step 2: Head off to the Sanctuary of Zi`Tah. Slay Goblin Robbers until you get a sack of fish bait. The bait is extremely common, this shouldn't take long.
Step 3: Head to (E-8) in the sanctuary and locate the ??? there. Trade the bait to the ??? to spawn Isonade, a NM pugil. Slay the fish. Once that is done, inspect the ??? for the crystal scales you require. Be prepared for screwdriver. Bring a full PT of 42+.
Step 4: Return to Jaucribaix and trade him your Mumeito. Go watch a movie while he makes the sacred katana, it'll be a while. Once he's done he'll give you a Magoroku that was laying around collecting dust. How nice.
AF2: Myochin Sune-Ate
[Lv52 DEF13 HP+20 Fire+10 Enmity+5 Evasion Skill+5]
Requirements:
Lv50.
Completion of AF1.
Step 1: Acquire quest from Jaucribaix. Jaucribaix requires a 'Yomutsu Feather' [key item] from a special bird to incorporate into the handle of the sacred katana forged earlier, the Yomutsu Hirasaki.
Step 2: See Washu, the cook in the room before Jaucribaix, about the bait you'll need to draw out the bird. She requires a hecteyes eye, a frost turnip, a slice of giant sheep meat and a Bastore sardine to make the bait. You will receive a key item called 'Washu's Tasty Wurst' upon turning those items in.
Step 3: Head to Onzozo to slay the first NM for the quest, Ubume. Ubume is spawned by placing the "bait" at the ??? found inside the bone hut at (F-8). Ubume is a roc type bird with AE sleep and fairly decent melee. After sacking the bird, inspect the ??? to acquire the Yomutsu Feather Jaucribaix needs.
Step 4: Return to Jaucribaix with the feather. Leave Norg and return later to receive the second portion of the quest. I'm not sure exactly how much later, some say it takes an hour, some say you need to wait for 0:00 Japanese time. Anyway, after your return, Gilgamesh will hand you the completed Yomutsu Hirasaki [key item] and tell you to thrust it into the beach at Valkurm after nightfall to complete the ceremony.
Step 5: Head to the secret beach in Valkurm and locate the ??? at (B-7). Placing the Yomutsu Hirasaki here any time between 18:00-4:00 will spawn two undead NMs which you must defeat. A Ka wielding a unique looking 2hb [Doman] and a ghost [Onryo]. If you get a sneak before you trigger the event you can actually pull these one at a time. Both NMs cast high-level black magic such as Tornado and are extremely difficult, maybe even impossible, to silence. So have your stuns ready. They both hit pretty hard as well but neither NM has impressive HP. You shouldn't have too much trouble with these if you came prepared. After defeating both the NMs, inspect the ??? to receive a 'Faded Yomutsu Hirasaki' [key item].
[NOTE:] You do not lose the Yomutsu Hirasaki if you fail.
Step 6: Return to Jaucribaix with the Faded Yomutsu Hirasaki and get your boots.
AF3: Myochin Kabuto
[Lv60 DEF20 HP+10 MND+5 Enhances "Warding Circle" and "Meditate"]
Requirements:
Completion of AF2.
Step 1: Speak with Jaucribaix once again to acquire the quest. He will send you to Gilgamesh who will tell you that a sacred helm, the Myochin Kabuto, has been stolen. An ancestor of Gilgamesh's had trapped a demon in the helm after defeating it in battle. It is very important that he gets it back before the seal imprisoning the demon is inadvertently broken by the ignorant thief. Gilgamesh asks that you seek out his operatives and assist in the recovery of the helm. He will not tell you the names of his operatives nor where to find them however.
[NOTE:] There is an unknown wait period after you complete AF2 before you can acquire the AF3 quest. You likely have to wait until after 0:00 JST.
Step 2: Find Sanosuke at the Duty Free Shop in Port Jeuno. Sanosuke will tell that he heard reports of a man wearing a strange helmet leaving San d`Oria in the direction of Jeuno but that he was unable to locate this fellow in the Jeuno region. He suspects that he may have doubled back. If you look at your region map it's not too hard to guess that the thief may have instead gone for the ferry at Selbina.
Step 3: Find Phoochuchu in Mhaura, the wee Taru in the Jujitsu Gi. She will tell you that the thief was a regular customer at the inn in Mhaura and that he had mysteriously disappeared from Mhaura at the time of the theft. Speak with her a second time and she will tell you that the thief has been tracked to Bastok and that there is an operative there compiling all the information gathered thus far.
Step 4: Go to the lower level of Bastok Mines and open the door at (J-6), a cut-scene with Ninja-boy Ren will ensue. Ren has discovered that the thief has been hiding in the Palborough Mines. He will invite you to investigate the mines with him.
Step 5: Head to the Waughroon Shrine in Palborough Mines for another cut-scene. Ninja-boy has been fatally injured but before he dies he manages to inform you that the seal on the helm is weakening and that the portal the thief fled through is cursed. He asks that you report this to Norg.
Step 6: Head back to Norg and report your findings to Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh will hand you a 'Banishing Charm' [Rare/Ex] and instruct you to toss it into the burning circle at Waughroon. The charm will banish the curse upon the portal and allow you to enter. He warns that the seal keeping the demon locked inside the helm may have already broken, and that you should be prepared for a fight.
Step 7: Gather a strong PT of at least level 60 and return to Waughroon. Trade your Banishing Charm to the Burning Circle to spawn the event. You will see a short cut-scene of the thief being overpowered by the helm and the demons breaking free. Fight info is as follows:
After the three demons are slain you'll get another cut-scene. (There is no need to attack the Onibi.) Ninja-boy Ren miraculously recovers and drops in to clean up after you. After the cut-scene you will receive a 'Charred Helm' [key item].
Step 8: Bring the Charred Helm to Jaucribaux. He will lament at the condition of the helm and go on to ask for your assistance one last time in fixing it. He has all that he requires right there in Norg except a length of Gold Thread.
Step 9: Acquire a Gold Thread and bring it to Jaucribaux.
**Probably the easiest and cheapest way to find Gold Thread is to check the Weaver's Guild vendors in Windurst Woods. It'll cost you about 18,500 gil to purchase one length of thread that way. Otherwise Gold Thread can be found at the Auction House, albeit rarely, under the Clothcraft category. The price on Migardsormr for one length of Gold Thread is 20k in Jeuno and it simply doesn't sell elsewhere. The recipe for Gold Thread is Clothcraft/Goldsmithing @ Skill: 58 [Earth] Silk Thread + Gold Ingot.
Once you give Jaucribaux the Gold Thread he needs you will get the last of your AF quest cut-scenes. After which Gilgamesh will reward your efforts with the repaired Myochin Kabuto.

Defeat three demon NMs within the thirty-minute time limit. This is a very difficult fight so come prepared. Bring your best food.
Rasetsu [middle] DRK
Gaki [right] BLM
Onki [left] SMN
Onibi [Onki's elemental]
*Extremely resistant to Sleep and Silence. Sleep lands well on the summoner's elemental however. Use Warding Circle right off to give your group a bit of an edge during the critical first moments of the battle.
*Gaki likes to cast flare and other devastating black magic attacks. It is important that you take him out first since you can't silence him. Use your 2-hours. Gaki will use Manafont so you'll need to be ready to stun via magic if you wish to interrupt him.
*Your next target should be the DRK, Rasetsu. He will use Blood Weapon so expect him to draw the battle out some.
*Onki will summon Onibi to start things off. For me it was a fire elemental but I suspect the type of elemental is random. The Onibi will cast the level-III single-target nuke and level-II -GA nuke of his element type. Keep sleep on it or suffer. Expect Onki to use Astral Flow at some point during the battle. In my fight he summoned Ayakashi (Shiva) and used Astral Flow which resulted in a 600-point Diamond Dust to all.
