[[Relic Weapons]] are special fabled weapons, some of which repeatedly appear in the Final Fantasy series. Relic weapons either play a significant part in the lore for that [[job]]; or are the most powerful weapons for that job in previous Final Fantasy games. Once obtained, relic weapons can be upgraded through a series of time-consuming tasks and quests to potentially become the most powerful weapons in the game ''at the time''.

Relic weapons are special fabled weapons that repeatedly appear in the Final Fantasy series. Each weapon is designed specifically and restricted to a certain [[job]]. Relic weapons either play a significant part in the lore for that [[job]]; or are the most powerful weapons for that [[job]] in previous Final Fantasy games. Once obtained, relic weapons can be upgraded through a series of difficult tasks, quests or rare items to potentially become the most powerful weapons in the game ''at the time''.  Although players refer to the quest-line weapons for all expansions as "Relic Weapons", the four stages between [[Atma Zodiac Weapons]] and [[Nexus Zodiac Weapons]] are labeled as "fabled relic weapons" officially in-game. However most players will refer to these as Zodiac Weapons. The last two stages (iLvl 125+) are referred to as "legendary Zodiac Braves weapons" in-game; but again are called Zodiac Weapons by players.  Relic weapons, especially from past expansions, are generally regarded as trophies or glamour fodder because they are not best in slot; better weapons for the same player level include those that drop from raids and those that can be bought with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Poetics]].


==Lore==
There is a different series of relic weapons in each [[expansion]]. Other than at the beginning of the [[Anima Weapons]], there is no interaction between the different expansions' relics. Players can obtain them in any order.
{{Quote|[[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|black mage]], and [[Class|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.| [[http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=1b3b1d90f6ba7a65d1660dc64461cf1bf68fa674 FFXIV Lodestone Archive]] }}


==Relic Weapons (iLvl 80)==
Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, with some exceptions:
{{main|Relic Weapons/Quest}}
* The level 70 final stage weapons are best-in-slot for {{questlink|eureka|The Forbidden Land, Eureka}}.
The original fabled relic weapons (item level 80). This is the starting block for all future Relic Weapons. To begin the quest for the first time speak with [[Nedrick Ironheart]] at [[Vesper Bay]], [[Western Thanalan]] and acquire the quest {{questlink|feature|The Weaponsmith of Legend}}. For every Relic Weapon or [[job]], you will need to complete the quest {{questlink|repfeature|A Relic Reborn}}. You can also repurchase any Relic Weapon you have already created from the [[Calamity Salvager]] in [[Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks]], [[Old Gridania]] and [[Ul'dah - Steps of Thal|Ul'dah Steps of Thal]] for [[File:gilicon.png|15px|link=|alt=Gil]] 49,896 gil: however you will need to repeat any steps/quests/tasks to upgrade your relic weapon again.
* The level 80 weapons provide very marginal gains in level 80 and below [[ultimate raids]]. They are not necessary to obtain due to these raids being significantly outscaled with current job balance, making the DPS checks very lenient.
<center>
* The level 90 final stage weapons are recommended for players doing level 90 [[criterion dungeon]]s and ultimate raids. These weapons are very simple to obtain and can ease the DPS checks in level 90 ultimate raids to allow slightly more room for error.

==Zenith Relic Weapons (iLvl 90)==
Generally, players acquire older relic weapons for cosmetic, [[achievements]], and collection purposes. For progression purposes when leveling, players should buy weapons of similar power for the same player level with  {{tomestone|Poetics}} '''[[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics|Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].''' Newly released jobs do not have relic weapons from expansions prior to when they were released.
{{main|Zenith Relic Weapons/Quest}}
An upgraded version of the original fabled relic weapons (item level 90). Zenith Relic Weapons used to be called "Relic Weapon +1" (e.g. "Bravura +1") but the name was changed to "Relic Weapon Zenith" (e.g. "Bravura Zenith") in [[patch 2.1]]. Unlike all other upgrades, upgrading to a Zenith Relic Weapon is extremely easy and simply involves 3 [[File:thavnairian mist icon1.png|20px|link=|Thavnairian Mist]] [[Thavnairian Mist]]s. When upgraded at the furnace near Gerolt, Zenith Relic Weapons get a faint coloured glow (colour varies depending on weapon) when unsheathed.

==Novus Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 110)==
Lv 80: '''[[Resistance Weapons]]''' (''See also: [[Resistance Armor]]'')
{{See also|Novus Zodiac Weapons/Quest}}
Introduced in [[Patch 2.28]], the Novus Zodiac Weapons (item level 110) are the third stage of the Zodiac Weapons and is unique for allowing players to customize their weapon. [[Jalzahn]] believes that your weapon may yet grow stronger through the power of [[materia]] but that that conventional melding will not work due to the preclusive presence of soul energy. [[Hubairtin]] is able to overcome this in the [[Side Quests|Side Quest]] {{questlink|feature|Celestial Radiance}} by converting the power of [[materia]] into a form of light energy. This leads you to the [[Side Quests|Side Quest]] {{questlink|feature|Star Light, Star Bright}} where you are able to customize your weapon by melding 75 different [[materia]]s with [[File:alexandrite icon1.png|20px|link=|Alexandrite]] [[Alexandrite]] onto a [[Sphere Scroll]]. When upgraded, Novus Zodiac Weapons will glow bright yellow / gold when unsheathed.

Relic Weapons are special fabled weapons, some of which repeatedly appear in the Final Fantasy series. Relic weapons either play a significant part in the lore for that job; or are the most powerful weapons for that job in previous Final Fantasy games. Once obtained, relic weapons can be upgraded through a series of time-consuming tasks and quests to potentially become the most powerful weapons in the game at the time.

There is a different series of relic weapons in each expansion. Other than at the beginning of the Anima Weapons, there is no interaction between the different expansions' relics. Players can obtain them in any order.

Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, with some exceptions:

  • The level 70 final stage weapons are best-in-slot for The Forbidden Land Eureka The Forbidden Land, Eureka.
  • The level 80 weapons provide very marginal gains in level 80 and below ultimate raids. They are not necessary to obtain due to these raids being significantly outscaled with current job balance, making the DPS checks very lenient.
  • The level 90 final stage weapons are recommended for players doing level 90 criterion dungeons and ultimate raids. These weapons are very simple to obtain and can ease the DPS checks in level 90 ultimate raids to allow slightly more room for error.

Generally, players acquire older relic weapons for cosmetic, achievements, and collection purposes. For progression purposes when leveling, players should buy weapons of similar power for the same player level with Allagan Tomestone of Poetics Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. Newly released jobs do not have relic weapons from expansions prior to when they were released.
