How to unlock the The Ultimate Racket achievement in FINAL FANTASY IX - Definitive Guide
Get an Ocean Chocobo through playing Chocobo Hot'n'Cold.
Go to Quan's Dwelling outside Treno.
Head though the cave and outside with the clock.
You can select to use a dead pepper on the edge of the walkway.
Press Y when you're on the world map to select the dead pepper.
(You can also just walk over to these bubbles on the world map)
You will dive into the bubbles below and you will unlock the achievement.
The Tiger Racket is the most powerful racket and can be used by either Dagger or Eiko. To obtain it, you will first need to have accessed Chocobo's Lagoon through the Chocobo Hot and Cold sidequest (see Diggin' It for more information) and dug up a Dead Pepper. Enter Quan's Dwelling near Treno and go to back of the cave to the fishing spot. Inspect the edge with Zidane to have him notice some foam far below him, at which point you will have the option to use a Dead Pepper. You will then automatically be taken to the world map and be stood on the edge of the precipice with your chocobo. Choose to jump, then you will dive into the foam below and re-emerge with a treasure chest containing this weapon.
To get this weapon, you will need to have a Dead Pepper (see "Diggin' It" for how to obtain these items) and use it at an inspection point on the outside portion of Quan's Dwelling. This will take you to the world map where you can jump into the ocean and fish out a chest with the weapon inside. If you need additional help, this video has all the locations.
