Lore[edit]

Eorzea has witnessed a resurgence of the old ways in recent days, as adventurers the realm over take up the ancient trades of warrior and dragoon, bard and black mage, and more. Now, it is the traditional weaponry of these old mantles that are sought, the means of their making long since lost to the ages. It would seem this longing for things past and old is not limited merely to the schools of war and magic...

The reformation of Eorzea’s Grand Companies was born of a longing in the hearts of the free peoples of Eorzea—a longing for the days of old and the peace they knew. It is a sentiment that has since spread to the realm’s adventurers, guiding them toward the rediscovery of trades from a former age that had all but died out. Small wonder, then, that those who have mastered these ancient ways of battle and sorcery now seek the weapons of eld which will enable them to realize the truest expression of their newfound powers. Thus have adventurers begun their quest for the relics.

Overview[edit]

The below is a high level overview of what goes into obtaining your complete relic weapon (base, zenith, atma, animus, novus, nexus, zodiac, and Zeta.) Follow the applicable quests to ensure that steps are completed in the proper order at the proper time. If you are working on multiple relics, then for every stage of this chain (except the Zodiac Weapon stage) you will need to talk to Jalzahn and select the appropriate dialogue option instead of completing the listed quest. For the Zodiac Weapon stage (after receiving your Nexus weapon,) the 4 repeatable quests need to be completed again to get the items.

Novus (iLvl 110)[edit]

(Novus (Star Light, Star Bright))

  2. Trade the 3 Superior Enchanted Ink pots to Hubairtin and obtain a Sphere Scroll for the desired weapon.
  3. Infuse 75 Materia, depending upon the stats you want to add to your Relic, along with 75 Alexandrite to the scroll.
    1. You must be wearing the Animus weapon/shield in order to infuse it with materia.
    • You can add any SECONDARY stat to the scroll that you wish. It is impossible to have all 75 points be one stat; the minimum is 2 different stats. Also, each stat has a maximum number (a 'cap') of 44 that can be added. Each Tier of Materia starts out at a 100% success rate, but it starts to drop after you add more Materia, until you reach the maximum number for that tier. The number of materia that make up each tier is 11, spread out to 1/4 the maximum stat cap for that stat.
    • Alexandrite is received from:
    1. Purchased with Allied Seals from your GC's Hunt Billmaster.
    2. Received for successfully completing an Alexandrite Map (which is received when Deciphering a Mysterious Map.)
    3. Alexandrite may also be obtained, albeit at a low probability (less than a 10% drop rate), by participating in FATEs while equipped with your relic weapon (animus or beyond).

  2. Perform various activities with your Novus weapon equipped and add 2000 light to it. The various stages, which show how much total Light your weapon has received, can be seen in the Notes section of the Nexus Quest. Upon successful completion of an activity, a notification will indicate how much light was added.
    • Activities include: ARR Raids, ARR Trials, ARR Dungeons, PvP, Treasure/Alexandrite Maps, FATEs, and Levequests. Also, every two hours the 'bonus light' window changes, possibly altering the amount of light received from each activity.
    • The most common method of farming light is running The Tam-Tara Deepcroft unsynced.
    • The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak can be done much quicker unsynced since the dungeon has been streamlined on patch 6.1.
    • You must be wearing the Novus weapon/shield when defeating the final boss of a ARR Dungeon, ARR Trial, or ARR Raid in order to receive light for that weapon.
  3. After adding 2000 light to your weapon, make your way to Jalzahn and select 'Relic Weapon Novus Enhancement' with the weapon in your Inventory or Armoury Chest.

NOTE: Please refer to the Notes section of the quest page for detailed information about light values.

  • *The dungeons can be completed on any job with any equipment. All that is required is the quest being in your log. You will receive an item after successfully defeating the last boss in each of the above Dungeons, if it is your current objective. This item will pop-up on your screen, like the Alexandrite and Atmas do when you win them from FATEs, during the loading screen after you depart the Dungeon and will appear in your inventory.

Once you have completed all 4 quests and received the items, make sure they are in your inventory to accept the one time quest His Dark Materia from Gerolt. He will then send you to Mutamix Bubblypots, who sends you back to Gerolt to complete the quest. After that, speak with Jalzahn and select the "Zodiac Weapon Recreation" option. If you wish to complete this step again for a different relic, speak directly with Jalzahn after completing the 4 quests and select the "Zodiac Weapon Recreation" option.

Ignore SE's attempt to troll you with the "Please be warned the chance of success for turning a relic weapon nexus into materia is 1.4%. Your relic will be lost if the process fails." Your weapon will not be lost!

Zeta (iLvl 135)[edit]

(Zeta (Rise and Shine))
  1. Equip your weapon and pick up the quest Rise and Shine from Jalzahn.
  2. Talk to Remon to have a mahatma affixed to your Zodiac weapon.
  3. Perform various activities with your Zodiac weapon equipped and add 2000 soul resonance to it. When full, return to Remon for another mahatma and repeat for all 12 mahatma. Upon successful completion of an activity, a notification will indicate how much soul resonance was added.
    • Activities include: Raids, Trials, Dungeons, PvP, Treasure/Alexandrite Maps, FATEs, and Levequests. Also, every two hours the 'bonus soul resonance' window changes, possibly altering the amount of light received from each activity.
    • The most common method is again spamming The Tam-Tara Deepcroft. Each mahatma takes 1-2 runs to finish, depending on whether the dungeon has a bonus window up or not.
  4. Once all mahatmas are done, make your way to Jalzahn and select 'Zodiac Weapon Awakening' with the weapon in your Inventory or Armoury Chest.

The completed Zeta weapon can be used to skip the first part of the Heavensward Relic Weapon chain. If you sacrifice your weapon (you can purchase a Replica weapon so you'll still be able to glamour its appearance) then you can skip the Crystal grinding phase in Soul without Life. Check out the entire guide over at Category:Anima Weapons.
