Excalibur

The quest begins by traveling to Daguerreo. Speak to the old man near the library on the third floor. He asks that if you find an item called the “Magical Fingertip,” you bring it to him.

Travel to the Auction House in Treno. You now need to purchase each of the following items and offer to sell them to the corresponding individuals listed below. Note that you can sometimes buy these items and then sell them for a profit. Most of the people will offer one price, and then you can barter them up to the second price:

You can sell Doga’s Artifact to the Scholar in the Synthesis Shop. You can purchase it for around 9,000 gil, and you can sell it for 10,000 on the Scholar’s first offer. The Scholar will not pay any other price.

Return to the Auction House after you have purchased and resold all four items and the Magical Fingertip will appear as a new item that you can bid on. It can cost anywhere from 40,000 gil to 60,000 gil depending on how lucky you get. Return to Daguerreo with the item and present it to the old man to receive the Excalibur sword as a reward for completing the quest.

The Excalibur sword is by no means Steiner’s strongest weapon but it can teach him the Climhazzard skill.
