Pre-Requisite

Before begin to create your Relic Weapon, you must:

Complete Main Scenario Quests: Heavensward
Reach level 60 for your chosen job.

An Unexpected Proposal

Starting NPC:	Rowena
Starting Location:	Idyllshire, Idyllshire (x5,y5)
Your journey begins with "An Unexpected Proposal" quest. This is a one time quest and does not need to be repeated; further weapons will start from Soul Without Life. For this quest, simply: Speak to Rowena (x5,y5) in Idyllshire. Travel to Alpha Quadrant in Azys Lla to speak with Ardashir (x7,y11).

The following 3 quests need to be completed in order, for each relic, and are job-specific. However, you can work on multiple relics at one time. An example is picking up Soul Without Life on your PLD, whilst working on Coming into Its Own for your WAR.

  NOTE: If you are trading in your relic, make sure to finish The Vital Title quest from Jalzahn before you do. This is the quest you complete for the Home of the Brave achievement.
2. Farm fates in Heavensward zones for Crystals to turn in to her for Nodules
  NOTE: You don't need to do this on the job you're trying to get your Anima weapon on. For example you can level another job while doing this step.
