Some people have had questions about what to do for RDM AF so I thought I would post info on it all.
From http://ffxi.allakhazam.com:
[glow=red,2,300]AF-1 Fencing Degen:
[/glow]
Realm: San d'Oria
Start Area: San d'Oria South
Start NPC: Sharzalion (K - 6)
Type: Artifact
Related Areas: Davoi
Related Mobs: Purpleflash Brukdok
Sharzalion (K - 6)
Min Level: 40
Max Level: 75
Items Required: Davoi Storage Key
Orcish Dry Food
Items Granted: Fencing Degen
Talk to Sharzalion, who is at the bar in the tavern in South San o'Dria. If you're a level 40+ Red Mage, he'll give you the quest and tell you he wants some orcish food.
Go to Davoi and head to E-10 (this is close to the well for the last part of the Paladin flag quest which is found at E-9, if you want to kill two birds with one stone). Use the waterways to E-10 if you want to avoid getting attacked very much on your way there. When you reach E-10, kill all the nearby orcs and trigger Purpleflesh Brukdok to spawn by selecting the ??? (or have your tank do it).
Brukdok is a black mage orc who I believe is about level 45. Kill him. He drops the Davoi Storage Key.
Next you have to find a "storage hole" to trade your key to, to receive the key item "Dried orcish food". There are multiple locations about Davoi where the storage hole might spawn. A few locations are near the entrance to Jugner Forest, some are in the deeper parts of the zone, and a couple are on the center island which would require that you pass through the dangerous Monastic Caverns to reach. The storage holes are like mining points, logging points, ect in that they are basically impossible to detect by sight, so run around switching between targets and hope you find it. If you can't find the hole after a thorough sweep through the area, I would recommend calling it quits and coming back another day (or in a few hours) and hoping that then it will be at an easier location, or else there's a good chance you'll need Chainspell and Warp to get yourself out alive when you have to drop invisibility to get the food out of the hole (if you even make it that far).
After you acquire the orcish food, go back to Sharzalion, listen to his story and receive your new handsome new sword.
[glow=red,2,300]AF-2 Warlock's Boots[/glow]
Realm: San d'Oria
Start Area: San d'Oria North
Start NPC: Curilla (I - 9)
Type: Artifact
Related Areas: Crawler's Nest
Min Level: 50
Max Level: 75
Items Required: Nest Chest Key
Velvet Cloth
Items Granted: Warlock's Boots
First, buy a velvet cloth at your local AH, they are not too expensive.
Then head to Curilla in the Chateau. If you are a 50+ RDM and have completed the Fencing Degen quest, this opens the RDM AF2 to you. She gives you the key item "Old Watch". She says that she believes it is a blessed watch of her father's, and wants you to visit the San d'Oria church in order to see if this is true.
Enter the church and head to the basement where a priest is praying in front of a large piano. He'll ask you to fetch him some velvet. Trade the velvet cloth you bought at the AH to him and this opens a cutscene with Curilla's father's ghost. After the cutscene, you receive the key item "Old Boots." Go back to Curilla after this scene and then head to Crawler's Nest.
You will need a Nest Chest Key. Mushuusu drops this, but so do a large amount of other mobs (Exorays, Damselflies, Rumble Crawlers to name a few). Once you get a key, trade it to a regular treasure chest. The chests spawn all over Crawler's, but they have a large number of spawn areas in the large room where many people hunt Soldier Crawlers and Damselflies. I got mine in this area.
Once you open the chest and get "Crawler blood" head to the large room with maze lizards towards the entrance of the zone, the one with many tunnels connecting to it. Head down the second tunnel to the right and run past the Doom Scorpion to (I-10) where there is a ??? in a very bright area. Sometimes Soldier Crawlers roam here, but sneak does not fade when clicking the ??? so you dont have to kill them.
Wait until past midnight japan time and click on the ??? again. You will receive your Warlock's Boots.
[glow=red,2,300]AF-3 Warlock's Chapeau[/glow]
Realm: Other
Start Area: Chateau d'Oraguille
Start NPC: Curilla (I - 9)
Type: Artifact
Related Areas: Fei'yin
Garlaige Citadel
San d'Oria South
Related Mobs: Guardian Statue
Miser Murphy
Min Level: 50
Max Level: 75
Items Required: Ancient Coin
Nail Puller
Title Obtained: Paragon of Red Mage Excellence
Items Granted: Warlock's Chapeau
Requirements: Must be a Red Mage of Level 50 +; Must have completed "The Crimson Ordeal" and "One Who Dwells in Darkness".
The quest, again begins with Curilla in Chateau d'Oraguille. She will ask you to continue your investigation on what had happened to Raimenard, her father. From there, go to Sharzalion in South San d'Oria again, and he will tell you, that the only way to speak with a spirit that he knows of, is too dangerous. This however does not stop his friend behind the bar from telling you how to do it, because he wants to hear a good story! You will be told that the only way is to throw an old coin into the Fountain in the ruins of Fei'Yin. Fei'Yin is located far to the North, at the Northern end of the Beaucidine Glacier. Once there, proceed north until you get to the large, central Fountain Room, which is at (H-8) on the first floor. In this room, there is a Notorious Monster named Miser Murphy. He spawns, every time a Red Mage that is at that point in the quest enters that room. (If you are going to kill him enough times for every Red Mage, make sure they all are at that point in the quest, or else he will stop spawning). Miser Murphy is about level 60ish, is a normal Ghost style monster, and is doable with about 6-12 level 56+. He is not very difficult, but can be rather.... obnoxious. Also watch your levels... the room is full of Revenants and Clockwork Pods which you do not want them to agro you. When you kill Miser Murphy, he drops an Ancient Coin. Trade the coin to the point at the North end of the fountain, also in (H-8). You will be treated to another event.
After the event, return to Sharzalion and tell him what you saw. Then speak with his friend behind the bar again. You will be told, that they can not help you further, but maybe one of the other patrons can. If you speak to the Galka in the same bar, he will tell you, that while he was exploring Garlaige Citidel, that he came upon a strange box, that he was unable to open, however with a Nail Puller, you may be able to open it.
Now, head to Garlaige Citidel, bring alot of friends with you for this though, as this part can be rough. Immediately behind the first Banishing Gate, in the rooms right there, you will find an Oaken Box. Clear all the Undead from those rooms before you examine it though. When you do, Guardian Statue will spawn. It is recomended to have about 18 Level 55's or about 12 Level 60s for this part. Guardian Statue is a "Doll" type model, it CAN explode like a bomb, but I don't recall seeing this one do so. It also has an AE attack that does about 200-300 damage to everyone around. When it is dead, it will drop a "Nail Puller", trade this to the Oaken Box, and you will see yet another event. Return to North San d'Oria at this point. As soon as you enter North San d'Oria, you will witness another event, complete the quest, and receive your Chapaou. Also, for an added bonus, you get the new title "Paragon of Red Mage Excellence".
