You can buy a Black Mask at a shop at Balfonheim Port. As for the Fomalhaut:

Lhusu Mines:
Site 9: After completing the Antlion Infestation hunt (Antlion,
Bill #38, Rank V Elite), just beyond where the creature fell can
be a chest which spawns at a 60% rate. There is a 50%
chance it contains the Fomalhaut, and a 50% chance for a
Knot Of Rust without the Diamond Armlet. If you wear a
Diamond Armlet, you'll get either an Elixir or a Knot of Rust.
Repeatable chest.


Cerobi Steppe:
The Northsward: This chest spawns at a 50% rate near the
western-middle area of the Northsward. With a Diamond
Armlet equipped, there is a 5% chance for it to be a Fomalhaut.
Repeatable chest.
Crossfield: This chest spawns at a 50% rate, and with the
Diamond Armlet equipped, a 4% chance for it to be a
Fomalhaut. Repeatable chest.


Henne Mines:
Special Charter Shaft: This chest spawns at a 40% rate, and
with the Diamond Armlet equipped, an 80% chance for it to
be a Fomalhaut, and a 20% chance for it to be 10000 gil.
One-time only chest.
