Eurekan Weapons are the level 70 Relic Weapons for Stormblood. First released in patch 4.25, players do not need to complete the level 50 Relic Weapon or Anima Weapon quest chains to unlock the Eurekan Weapons. Unlike with the Anima Weapon questline players who have obtained the Zodiac Zeta Weapons or the Lux Anima Weapons will not have an advantage with any step of the Eurekan Weapons. However, to start the Eurekan Weapon quest chain, players must have cleared their job's Level 70 job quest, since the Eurekan Weapons are upgraded from the weapon rewarded by the job quest. As their name implies, all the upgrading activity for these Stormblood relics is done inside The Forbidden Land, Eureka.
Alongside the Eurekan Weapons players can also obtain the Eurekan Gear.
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 Poetics.
Lore
"Deep in the Glass Ocean, the great expanse of the Far East, lies an island recorded on no navigational charts. An island that seemingly appeared one day─an island that should not be. Recognizing its potential as a trading post, the brave and ambitious ventured forth to explore and claim it, only to discover an untamed land teeming with strange, monstrous beasts..." — FFXIV Patch 4.2 Special Site
Antiquated Weapons
Antiquated weapons are acquired by completing the Stormblood job quest line for your given job, up through the level 70 quest. They serve as the starting tier relic weapons for Stormblood, and are upgraded in the Eureka zones. If you misplaced or discarded your Antiquated weapon, you can purchase a replacement for 1,000 from the Calamity Salvager in any of the three starting cities.
Hint: If you can't find your Antiquated weapon and are not sure if you discarded it, you can type /isearch Antiquated
to search for any Antiquated weapons across all of your inventory containers (Including bags, chocobo saddlebag, armoury, retainers, etc.).
