[[Eurekan Weapons]] are the level 70 [[Relic Weapons]] for [[Stormblood]]. First released in [[patch 4.25]], players do not need to complete any [[Zodiac Weapons]] or [[Anima Weapons]] to unlock Eurekan Weapons. Unlike with the Anima Weapon questline players who have obtained the [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons]] or the [[Anima_Weapons#Lux_Anima_Weapons_.28iLvl_275.29|Lux Anima Weapons]] will not have an advantage with any step of Eurekan Weapons. However, to start the Eurekan Weapon quest chain, players must have cleared their job's Level 70 [[Job Quests|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 relic weapons is done inside {{questlink|eureka|The Forbidden Land, Eureka}}. | |||

==Secondary Stats== | |||
[[File:Eurekan weapons example roll.png|right|thumb|An example roll with 5 "lines"]] | |||
Eurekan Weapons at the Pyros, Eureka, or Physeos stages can have their secondary stats upgraded at the [[Mnemeworks Station]], near Gerolt in Pyros. A weapon's secondary stats will be carried forward to any future item level upgrades. Intermediate-stage weapons in Hydatos (Hydatos, Hydatos +1, Base Eureka) cannot have their secondary stats modified. | |||
These stats are rolled randomly, at the cost of 2 {{item icon|Smoldering Protean Crystal}}s. Each weapon starts with one "line" of stats that it can randomly roll, and a total of 5 can be unlocked by repeatedly using the Mnemeworks Station. Each time the station is used, all unlocked lines reroll, and if 5 lines are not yet unlocked, there is a chance an additional line will be unlocked and rolled as well. The reroll can be canceled, leaving the weapon with its stats unmodified, but the 2 {{item icon|Smoldering Protean Crystal}}s spent will not be refunded, and if the reroll unlocked an additional line the weapon will not retain it. | |||

*For example, a "perfect" roll for Melee DPS would be Critical Hit ≥ 114 (2 lines), Determination + 84, Direct Hit + 84, Skill Speed +84. | |||
**A good but not perfect roll could be Critical Hit ≥ 114 (2 lines), any Determination bonus (2 lines), any Direct Hit bonus (1 line). | |||
*Due to the random nature of substat rolls, achieving an optimal set of rolls can be very time-consuming. These substats are only useful for slightly increasing player power within Eureka zones, which is marginal compared to [[Elemental Bonus]] derived from Physeos Weapons, [[Eureka Elemental Armor 2|Elemental Armor +2]], and [[Kirin's Osode Armor]]. | |||

Eurekan Weapons are the level 70 Relic Weapons for Stormblood. First released in patch 4.25, players do not need to complete any Zodiac Weapons or Anima Weapons to unlock 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 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 relic weapons is done inside The Forbidden Land, Eureka.
Alongside Eurekan Weapons players can also obtain Eurekan Armor. Replicas of completed Eurekan Weapons can be purchased from Staelhundr once players have finished the Anemos Weapons phase.
Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic, achievements, and collection purposes. Weapons of similar power, for the same player level, that are much more easily obtainable and are intended for character progression can be bought with Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.
The final-stage Physeos Weapons are an exception to this rule: they provide a significant Elemental Bonus within Eureka zones, making them the best-in-slot weapons for Eureka battle content.
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...
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.
Note: 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.).

Eureka Weapons

An upgrade to Pyros weapons. Weapons will have a new model and swirling particle effects. This step grants the weapon's final appearance and maxes out its stats, excluding elemental stats that are effective in Eureka zones only. If you only care about the earning the glamour and don't care about the elemental stats, you can stop after completing this step.

- Hydatos Crystal: These are acquired by killing Notorious Monsters in Eureka Hydatos. The higher level the Notorious Monster, the more crystals it will drop. While fewer crystals are needed compared to prior steps, Notorious Monsters in Hydatos also drop fewer crystals. A good source of crystals is the FATE The Baldesion Arsenal: Expedition Support, although this only spawns when there is an ongoing run of The Baldesion Arsenal.
- Crystalline Scale: 3 scales will drop each time you complete the FATE Crystalline Provenance with gold medal credit in Eureka Hydatos, which requires you to kill the notorious monster Provenance Watcher. This is the only way to obtain the item as they are not sold by the Expedition Birdwatcher.
Physeos Weapons
- See also: The Baldesion Arsenal
An upgrade to Eureka weapons. Stats and appearances are identical to Eureka weapons, except that they have extra Elemental Bonus stats that increase the weapons' power in Eureka zones only (including The Baldesion Arsenal).

- Eureka Fragment: These are exclusively acquired inside The Baldesion Arsenal. A complete clear yields 28 fragments total, with each boss defeated dropping a portion of that total amount. It requires a total of four runs, assuming all of them are successful, to obtain enough fragments for one weapon.
Secondary Stats
Eurekan Weapons at the Pyros, Eureka, or Physeos stages can have their secondary stats upgraded at the Mnemeworks Station, near Gerolt in Pyros. A weapon's secondary stats will be carried forward to any future item level upgrades. Intermediate-stage weapons in Hydatos (Hydatos, Hydatos +1, Base Eureka) cannot have their secondary stats modified.
These stats are rolled randomly, at the cost of 2 Smoldering Protean Crystals. Each weapon starts with one "line" of stats that it can randomly roll, and a total of 5 can be unlocked by repeatedly using the Mnemeworks Station. Each time the station is used, all unlocked lines reroll, and if 5 lines are not yet unlocked, there is a chance an additional line will be unlocked and rolled as well. The reroll can be canceled, leaving the weapon with its stats unmodified, but the 2 Smoldering Protean Crystals spent will not be refunded, and if the reroll unlocked an additional line the weapon will not retain it.
As of the patch 6.0 stat squish:[1]
- Each line can give up to 84 of a stat.
- Paladin swords and shields are limited to 60, and 24 respectively.
- The same stat can be randomly rolled on multiple lines. For example, if line 1 gives 48 Critical Hit, line 2 gives 30 Critical Hit, and line 3 gives 54 Skill Speed, the total stat bonuses are 78 Critical Hit and 54 Skill Speed.
- Any stat bonuses totaling above 114 will be synced down to 114 inside of Eureka zones. These limits are 81 and 33 for paladin swords and shields, respectively. This means that bonuses larger than 114 will be partially "wasted".
- There are 10 possible values for a given line, depending on the type of weapon:
Two-handed weapon | 30 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 | 60 | 66 | 72 | 78 | 84 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PLD sword | 24 | 28 | 32 | 36 | 40 | 44 | 48 | 52 | 56 | 60 |
PLD shield | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 |
- The available substats depend on the job the weapon is for:
Critical Hit | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Determination | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Direct Hit Rate | 1 | 1 | 1 | ||
Skill Speed | 1 | 1 | 1 | ||
Spell Speed | 1 | 1 | |||
Piety | 1 | ||||
Tenacity | 1 |
How to acquire items to upgrade
- Smoldering Protean Crystal: Collect vitiated aether by killing Notorious Monsters and level-appropriate trash mobs in Eureka Pyros, then turn it in at the Mark II Crystal Forge in Eureka Pyros (22.3, 6.0). You will receive one Smoldering Protean Crystal for each full charge of vitiated aether.
- You must have acquired a Pyros Weapon before you can receive vitiated aether. You do not need to have the weapon equipped to obtain it.
- The kettle can hold a maximum of 9 charges of vitiated aether. If it starts to get full, be sure to turn it in so none gets wasted!
Tips
- Similar to materia melding, the most desirable substats to prioritize are generally: Critical Hit > Direct Hit Rate/Determination > Skill Speed/Spell Speed > Tenacity/Piety, although this varies depending on the job.
- For example, a "perfect" roll for Melee DPS would be Critical Hit ≥ 114 (2 lines), Determination + 84, Direct Hit + 84, Skill Speed +84.
- A good but not perfect roll could be Critical Hit ≥ 114 (2 lines), any Determination bonus (2 lines), any Direct Hit bonus (1 line).
- Due to the random nature of substat rolls, achieving an optimal set of rolls can be very time-consuming. These substats are only useful for slightly increasing player power within Eureka zones, which is marginal compared to Elemental Bonus derived from Physeos Weapons, Elemental Armor +2, and Kirin's Osode Armor.
