If you’re after a relic weapon in Final Fantasy XIV and don’t mind a grind, then you might want to go after a Zodiac weapon.
Make no mistake, this Relic carries arguably the most arduous grind of any Relic in FFXIV, but they are glorious to look at and, as a bonus, come with the
Before you can begin the Zodiac grind, you’ll need to have completed a few things:
- Complete the level 50 MSQ quest “The Ultimate Weapon”
- Complete all Class and Job quests for your chosen job including the level 30 quest which gives you the Job Stone
How to complete The Weaponsmith of Legend in Final Fantasy XIV
You’ll only need to complete this quest before you begin your first Zodiac weapon grind. When beginning additional weapons, you’ll skip over this one.
Head to Vesper Bay and talk to Nedrick Ironheart (X:12.0, Y:14.0). He’ll send you off to Mor Dhona to speak to Rowena (X:22.0, Y:6.0), before you’ll head to Hyrstmill in North Shroud to see Gerolt (X:30.0, Y:20.0).
This final location will be the main go-to point for the entire Zodiac grind, so you’ll get pretty good at finding it quickly.
How to complete A Relic Reborn in Final Fantasy XIV
Relic stage: Unfinished
This quest has a lot of different steps, each of which requires some effort to complete:
Step one: Finding your broken weapon.
Where you need to go to find your broken weapon depends on which job you’re trying to get a Zodiac weapon for. Broken weapons are spread between the various A Realm Reborn Beastmen Strongholds:
Job Weapon co-ordinates Beastmen Stronghold Paladin
Monk(X:30.0, Y:19.0)
(X:32.0, Y:18.0)Zahar’ak (Southern Thanalan) Warrior
Black Mage
White Mage(X:23.0, Y:10.0)
(X:23.0, Y:11.0)
(X:24.3, Y:6.4)U’Ghamaro Mines (Outer La Noscea) Dragoon
Bard(X:34.0, Y:21.0)
(X:34.9, Y:20.5)Natalan (Central Coerthas Highlands) Ninja
Scholar(X:16.0, Y:17.0)
(X:15.5, Y:16.9)Sapsa Spawning Grounds (Western La Noscea) Summoner (X:25.0, Y:19.0) Sylphlands (East Shroud)
Step two: Attach materia to a weapon
To complete this step, you’ll need to either craft or purchase a specific weapon for your chosen class, then purchase two of a specific low level materia to meld onto it. You can either meld the materia yourself, or pay a Materia Melder NPC to do this for you.
Here’s the weapon and materia you’ll need for each Job:
Job Weapon needed Materia needed Paladin
WarriorAeolian Scimitar
Barbarian’s BardicheBattledance Materia III Dragoon
MonkChampion’s Lance
Wildling’s CestiSavage Aim Materia III Ninja
BardVamper’s Knives
Longarm’s Composite BowHeavens’ Eye Materia III Black Mage
SummonerSanguine Scepter
Erudite’s Picatrix of CastingSavage Might Materia III White Mage
ScholarMadman’s Whispering Rod
Erudite’s Picatrix of HealingQuicktongue Materia III
Step three: Getting Alumina Salts
This one’s easy, especially if you’re going into this on a level 90 Job. You’ll need to complete A Relic Reborn: The Chimera, which is a level 50 Trial. However, it can be easily completed unsynced within a few seconds solo with any level 90 Job.
To enter A Relic Reborn for the first time, you’ll need to head to Coerthas Central Highlands to find the entrance (X:32.0, Y6.0). For any additional weapons, you’ll be able to access this trial through the Duty Finder.
Once you’ve completed the Trial you’ll be rewarded with some Alumina Salts. With these in hand, head back to Gerolt in Hyrstmill.
Step four: Getting an Amdapor Glyph
Again, this is a relatively easy step. All you need to do is complete the level 50 dungeon Amdapor Keep in order to get an Amdapor Glyph. Thankfully, as long as you complete the dungeon as your chosen Job, you can do it unsynced, so this is another step you can complete very quickly.
Once you’ve got the Glyph, take it back to Rowena in Mor Dhona and then revisit Gerolt in Hyrstmill.
Step five: Hunt some Beastmen
