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 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 Tomestones of Poetics. Newly released jobs do not have relic weapons from expansions prior to when they were released.
