Zodiac weapons are the upgraded versions of your [[Relic Weapon]]s obtained from [[A Relic Reborn]]. These weapons have the item level of 100. Players can start the Zodiac weapon questline by speaking to [[Gerolt]] in [[North Shroud]] (X 30,Y 20) and starting the [[quests|quest]] [[Up in Arms]].  
'''Zodiac Weapons''' are the level 50 [[Relic Weapons]] for ''[[A Realm Reborn]]''. They were the first relic weapon series to be introduced in the game and are upgraded by completing a series of tasks which is described in the "Quest" pages for each step, listed below.


*You need to have your [[Zenith Relic Weapon]] equipped when you speak to Gerolt to receive the quest.
[[Replica Zodiac Weapons|Replicas of the Zodiac Weapons]] (for [[glamour]]) can be purchased from [[Drake]] if you either have the corresponding final-stage [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons|Zodiac Zeta Weapon]] in your inventory or turn in the Zodiac Zeta Weapon as part of the [[Anima Weapons|Anima Weapon]] quest {{questlink|repfeature|Soul without Life}}.
*If you have previously acquired a Zodiac Zeta Weapon and then discarded it without turning it in, you will need to re-do the entire upgrade process for the weapon to unlock the corresponding job's replica weapons.  


After upgrading your Atma Zodiac Weapon into Animus Zodiac Weapon. Players can further upgrade Item level 100 Animus Weapon into Item level 110 Novus Weapon.  
'''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 {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].''' For level 50, these would be [[Augmented Ironworks Magitek Weapons]].


*'''Atma --> Animus --> Novus --> Nexus --> Zodiac Braves --> Zodiac Zeta'''
==Lore==
{{quotation|FFXIV Lodestone (legacy)|Eorzea has witnessed a resurgence of the old ways in recent days, as adventurers the realm over take up the ancient trades of warrior and dragoon, bard and black mage, and more. Now, it is the traditional weaponry of these old mantles that are sought, the means of their making long since lost to the ages. It would seem this longing for things past and old is not limited merely to the schools of war and magic. The reformation of Eorzea's Grand Companies was born of a longing in the hearts of the free peoples of Eorzea — a longing for the days of old and the peace they knew. It is a sentiment that has since spread to the realm's adventurers, guiding them toward the rediscovery of trades from a former age that had all but died out. Small wonder, then, that those who have mastered these ancient ways of battle and sorcery now seek the weapons of eld which will enable them to realize the truest expression of their newfound powers. Thus have adventurers begun their quest for the relics.}}


==Upgrading Atma to Animus==
{{NoteBox | Unlike newer relics, most of the quests for the A Realm Reborn weapons are not repeatable. Instead, the player is given the instructions and the quest completes itself. After performing the steps, the required items can then be turned in to the vendor with the correct weapon in inventory. If the instructions need to be reviewed in-game, they can be found in the Completed section of the Journal.}}
After upgrading your Zenith Relic Weapon into Atma. Players can slowly upgrade Atma Weapon into Animus Weapon by purchasing and completing 9 Books sold by [[G'jusana]] for 500 [[Allagan Tomestone of Soldiery]] each. Each book has various tasks such as kill monsters and completing [[dungeons]], [[FATE]]s and [[levequests]].


==Upgrading Animus to Novus==
==Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 80)==  
Complete the quests [[Celestial Radiance]] and [[Star Light, Star Bright]]. Players will need to purchase 3 [[Superior Enchanted Ink]] at the cost of 250 Soldiery Tomestones each (750 total) from [[Auriana]]. Players will then give the 3 inks to [[Hubairtin]] in [[Central Thanalan]] (x23,y13) for a [[Sphere Scroll]].
{{main|Zodiac Weapons/Quest}}
'''For detailed information about this step, see the above link.'''


Players will need to ''Infuse'' the Sphere Scroll 75 times to complete the it.
Introduced in [[Patch 2.0]] and carried over from [[Patch 1.23b|Legacy]], the original fabled Zodiac Weapons are [[Item Level]] 80 and the starting block for all future Zodiac upgrades. To begin the quest for the first time speak with [[Nedrick Ironheart]] at [[Vesper Bay]], [[Western Thanalan]] and acquire the quest {{questlink|feature|The Weaponsmith of Legend}}. For every Zodiac Weapon or [[job]], you will need to complete a [[job]]-specific version of the quest {{questlink|feature|A Relic Reborn}}. You can also repurchase any Zodiac Weapon you have already created from the [[Calamity Salvager]] in [[Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks]], [[Old Gridania]] and [[Ul'dah - Steps of Thal|Ul'dah Steps of Thal]] for {{gil|1000}} [[Gil]] (700 + 300 for [[paladin]] sword and shield). However you will need to repeat any tasks to upgrade your zodiac weapon again.
 
<center>
Each infusion requires 2 items: [[Materia]] and [[Alexandrite]]. Players can obtain Alexandrites by completing [[FATEs]] with animus weapons equipped (similar to Atma farming). Players can also obtain alexandrites with [[Mysterious Map]]s. Players can acquire mysterious maps by purchasing them with 800 Mythology Tomestones each from the [[Auriana]]. Players can also acquire them by completing the quest [[Morbid Motivation]] that asks the player to complete [[Duty Roulette|Expert Duty Roulette]]. Quest resets daily and each completion awards the player with one [[Mysterious Map]].
{| {{STDT|item align-left}}
 
! Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 80)
*Solving Mysterious Map is similar to solving other [[Treasure Hunt|Treasure Maps]]. Players will need the skills [[Decipher]] and [[Dig]].
 
*When the player fails mysterious map, the map disappears and no alexandrite is awarded.  
 
===Melding Materia===
To infuse and upgrade the weapon's stats, players will use alexandrites as the catalyst to meld materia. Each successful meld infuses the stat of materia into the scroll, granting the it 1 point in the corresponding stat. Higher tier of materia will increase the likelihood of successful infusion. It will not give more than 1 stat point.  While the player will likely lose the materia for unsuccessful melds, the player will not lose alexandrite. As the specific stats of the weapon increases, higher materia tier is needed for sucessful melds/upgrades.
 
*To complete the scroll, players will need 75 successful melds with 75 alexandrites total.
 
*Players will not need [[crafting]] skills to meld materia.
 
===Stats===
The weapons' 5 main stats ([[Vitality]], [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Intelligence]] and [[Mind]]) upgrade automatically.  
 
Players can upgrade additional stats such as [[Piety]], [[Determination]], [[Accuracy]], [[Spell Speed]], [[Skill Speed]], [[Critical Hit Rate]] and [[Parry]] up to a total of 75 points. Accuracy, Spell Speed, Skill Speed, Critical Hit Rate and Parry cap at 44 points each. Piety caps at 33 points and Determination caps at 31 points.
 
==Upgrading Novus to Nexus==
Player needs to speak to [[Jalzahn]] in [[North Shroud]] (x29,y19) with her Novus Weapon equipped. After completing the [[Mmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics]] quest, player can speak to Jalzahn to choose the weapon to [[soulglaze]]. With the soulglazed Novus weapon equipped, player will earn "light" by completing [[dungeons]], [[trials]], [[FATEs]], [[Treasure Hunt]], [[Alexandrite|Alexandrite Maps]], [[The Wolves' Den]] and [[Frontlines]]. After gaining enough "light", the Novus weapon will transform into Nexus weapon.
 
*You can't get "light" from [[The Hunt]] or [[Guildhests]]??
 
Different activities give different amounts of "light". "Light" earned will appear in the chat log after completing the activity. Light levels are Feeble Light (least "light"), Gentle Light, Blinding Light, Brilliant Light and Newborn Star (most "light").  
 
*Each type of Light has a secret value that advances your Novus into Nexus. Players will need to reach 2000 "light" points.

==Upgrading Nexus to Zodiac Braves==
==Zenith Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 90)==  
First complete [[Wherefore Art Thou, Zodiac]].
{{main|Zenith Zodiac Weapons/Quest}}
'''For detailed information about this step, see the above link.'''


Next complete [[A Ponze of Flesh]], [[Labor of Love]], [[Method in His Malice]], [[A Treasured Mother]].
Also introduced in [[Patch 2.0]], Zenith Zodiac Weapons are an upgraded version of the original [[Item Level]] 90 Zodiac Weapons. Zenith Zodiac Weapons used to be called "Relic Weapon +1" (e.g. "Bravura +1") but the name was changed to "Relic Weapon Zenith" (e.g. "Bravura Zenith") in [[patch 2.1]]. Unlike all other upgrades, upgrading to a Zenith Relic Weapon is extremely easy and simply involves 3 {{item icon|Thavnairian Mist}}s. When upgraded at the furnace near Gerolt, Zenith Zodiac Weapons get a faint coloured glow (colour varies depending on weapon) when unsheathed.


Finally finish [[His Dark Materia]].

Introduced in [[Patch 2.2]], the Atma Zodiac Weapons (item level 100) are the third stage of the Zodiac Weapons. [[Jalzahn]] takes over from [[Gerolt]] as your new guide and weaponsmith. Your task for the quest {{questlink|feature|Up in Arms}} is to grind [[FATE]]s in various zones of [[Eorzea]] for items known as Atmas, which drop randomly upon successful completion of a [[FATE]]. (The quest only needs to be completed once, for your first Atma Zodiac weapon; for each additional weapon you'll still need to acquire all Atmas, equip the Relic Weapon and talk to [[Jalzahn]].) When upgraded, Atma Zodiac Weapons will no longer glow when unsheathed and will have a minor color change.

==Upgrading Zodiac Braves to Zodiac Zeta==
==Novus Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 110)==
 
{{See also|Novus Zodiac Weapons/Quest}}
(From the 2.51 Patch Notes)<br />
'''For detailed information about this step, see the above link.'''
Once your Zodiac weapon has been affixed with mahatma, you may increase its soul resonance level by equipping it and completing certain activities. Once you have achieved full soul resonance and your Zodiac weapon has sufficiently awakened, present it to Jalzahn, and you will be rewarded with a Zodiac weapon zeta of item level 135 that retains all the upgrades made to the original Zodiac weapon.


A weapon’s soul resonance level will rise by a set value determined by the activity being undertaken. There may be times when a bonus is applied to the soul resonance value ordinarily granted. By sharing information with other players, you will be able to level up your Zodiac Weapon more efficiently.
Introduced in [[Patch 2.28]], the Novus Zodiac Weapons (item level 110) are the fifth stage of the Zodiac Weapons and is unique for allowing players to customize their weapon. [[Jalzahn]] believes that your weapon may yet grow stronger through the power of [[materia]] but that that conventional melding will not work due to the preclusive presence of soul energy. [[Hubairtin]] is able to overcome this in the [[Side Quests|Side Quest]] {{questlink|feature|Celestial Radiance}} by converting the power of [[materia]] into a form of light energy. This leads you to the [[Side Quests|Side Quest]] {{questlink|feature|Star Light, Star Bright}} where you are able to customize your weapon by melding 75 different [[materia]]s with {{item icon|Alexandrite}} onto a [[Sphere Scroll]]. When upgraded, Novus Zodiac Weapons will glow bright yellow / gold when unsheathed.


Resonance progress can be verified through the use of the Zodiac glass. (Appears to function almost exactly in nature as the Light Farming from Novus to Nexus phase.)

Introduced in [[Patch 2.38]], the Nexus Zodiac Weapons (item level 115) are the sixth stage of the Zodiac Weapons. [[Jalzahn]] believes that the unattuned state of soul energy in your weapon is holding back its full potential. This time [[Jalzahn]] teams up with [[Gerolt]] to guide on your next step. In the [[Side Quests|Side Quest]] {{questlink|feature|Mmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics}} you must seal aethertight your weapon and attune its soul energy through normal use in [[dungeon]]s, [[trial]]s, [[FATE]]s, [[Treasure Hunt]]s, {{item icon|Mysterious Map}}s, and [[The Borderland Ruins (Secure)|PvP]]. When upgraded, Nexus Zodiac Weapons will glow bright white when unsheathed.

Zodiac Weapons are the level 50 Relic Weapons for A Realm Reborn. They were the first relic weapon series to be introduced in the game and are upgraded by completing a series of tasks which is described in the "Quest" pages for each step, listed below.

Replicas of the Zodiac Weapons (for glamour) can be purchased from Drake if you either have the corresponding final-stage Zodiac Zeta Weapon in your inventory or turn in the Zodiac Zeta Weapon as part of the Anima Weapon quest Repeatable Feature QuestSoul without Life.

  • If you have previously acquired a Zodiac Zeta Weapon and then discarded it without turning it in, you will need to re-do the entire upgrade process for the weapon to unlock the corresponding job's replica weapons.

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 Tomestone of Poetics Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. For level 50, these would be Augmented Ironworks Magitek Weapons.

Lore

“

Eorzea has witnessed a resurgence of the old ways in recent days, as adventurers the realm over take up the ancient trades of warrior and dragoon, bard and black mage, and more. Now, it is the traditional weaponry of these old mantles that are sought, the means of their making long since lost to the ages. It would seem this longing for things past and old is not limited merely to the schools of war and magic. The reformation of Eorzea's Grand Companies was born of a longing in the hearts of the free peoples of Eorzea — a longing for the days of old and the peace they knew. It is a sentiment that has since spread to the realm's adventurers, guiding them toward the rediscovery of trades from a former age that had all but died out. Small wonder, then, that those who have mastered these ancient ways of battle and sorcery now seek the weapons of eld which will enable them to realize the truest expression of their newfound powers. Thus have adventurers begun their quest for the relics.

— FFXIV Lodestone (legacy)


Note2.png 
Unlike newer relics, most of the quests for the A Realm Reborn weapons are not repeatable. Instead, the player is given the instructions and the quest completes itself. After performing the steps, the required items can then be turned in to the vendor with the correct weapon in inventory. If the instructions need to be reviewed in-game, they can be found in the Completed section of the Journal.

Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 80)

Main article: Zodiac Weapons/Quest

For detailed information about this step, see the above link.

Introduced in Patch 2.0 and carried over from Legacy, the original fabled Zodiac Weapons are Item Level 80 and the starting block for all future Zodiac upgrades. To begin the quest for the first time speak with Nedrick Ironheart at Vesper Bay, Western Thanalan and acquire the quest Feature QuestThe Weaponsmith of Legend. For every Zodiac Weapon or job, you will need to complete a job-specific version of the quest Feature QuestA Relic Reborn. You can also repurchase any Zodiac Weapon you have already created from the Calamity Salvager in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks, Old Gridania and Ul'dah Steps of Thal for Gil 1,000 Gil (700 + 300 for paladin sword and shield). However you will need to repeat any tasks to upgrade your zodiac weapon again.

Zenith Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 90)

Main article: Zenith Zodiac Weapons/Quest

For detailed information about this step, see the above link.

Also introduced in Patch 2.0, Zenith Zodiac Weapons are an upgraded version of the original Item Level 90 Zodiac Weapons. Zenith Zodiac Weapons used to be called "Relic Weapon +1" (e.g. "Bravura +1") but the name was changed to "Relic Weapon Zenith" (e.g. "Bravura Zenith") in patch 2.1. Unlike all other upgrades, upgrading to a Zenith Relic Weapon is extremely easy and simply involves 3 Thavnairian mist icon1.png  Thavnairian Mists. When upgraded at the furnace near Gerolt, Zenith Zodiac Weapons get a faint coloured glow (colour varies depending on weapon) when unsheathed.

Atma Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 100)

See also: Atma Zodiac Weapons/Quest

For detailed information about this step, see the above link.

Introduced in Patch 2.2, the Atma Zodiac Weapons (item level 100) are the third stage of the Zodiac Weapons. Jalzahn takes over from Gerolt as your new guide and weaponsmith. Your task for the quest Feature QuestUp in Arms is to grind FATEs in various zones of Eorzea for items known as Atmas, which drop randomly upon successful completion of a FATE. (The quest only needs to be completed once, for your first Atma Zodiac weapon; for each additional weapon you'll still need to acquire all Atmas, equip the Relic Weapon and talk to Jalzahn.) When upgraded, Atma Zodiac Weapons will no longer glow when unsheathed and will have a minor color change.

Animus Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 100)

See also: Animus Zodiac Weapons/Quest

For detailed information about this step, see the above link.

Introduced in Patch 2.2, the Animus Zodiac Weapons (also item level 100) are the fourth of the Zodiac Weapons. Jalzahn wants you must recreate the valorous deeds of the Zodiac Braves, revered heroes in Thavnairian legend. This involves the quest Feature QuestTrials of the Braves and has you completing specific dungeons, FATEs and levequests and killing specific monsters from nine "Trials of the Braves" Books. When upgraded, Animus Zodiac Weapons will get a bright coloured glow (colour varies depending on weapon) when unsheathed.

Novus Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 110)

See also: Novus Zodiac Weapons/Quest

For detailed information about this step, see the above link.

Introduced in Patch 2.28, the Novus Zodiac Weapons (item level 110) are the fifth stage of the Zodiac Weapons and is unique for allowing players to customize their weapon. Jalzahn believes that your weapon may yet grow stronger through the power of materia but that that conventional melding will not work due to the preclusive presence of soul energy. Hubairtin is able to overcome this in the Side Quest Feature QuestCelestial Radiance by converting the power of materia into a form of light energy. This leads you to the Side Quest Feature QuestStar Light, Star Bright where you are able to customize your weapon by melding 75 different materias with Alexandrite icon1.png  Alexandrite onto a Sphere Scroll. When upgraded, Novus Zodiac Weapons will glow bright yellow / gold when unsheathed.

Thyrus Novus Thyrus Novus (WHM) Yoshimitsu Novus Yoshimitsu Novus (NIN)

Nexus Zodiac Weapons (iLvl 115)

See also: Nexus Zodiac Weapons/Quest

For detailed information about this step, see the above link.

Introduced in Patch 2.38, the Nexus Zodiac Weapons (item level 115) are the sixth stage of the Zodiac Weapons. Jalzahn believes that the unattuned state of soul energy in your weapon is holding back its full potential. This time Jalzahn teams up with Gerolt to guide on your next step. In the Side Quest Feature QuestMmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics you must seal aethertight your weapon and attune its soul energy through normal use in dungeons, trials, FATEs, Treasure Hunts, Mysterious map icon1.png  Mysterious Maps, and PvP. When upgraded, Nexus Zodiac Weapons will glow bright white when unsheathed.
