[[Anima Weapons]] are the level 60 [[Relic Weapons]] for [[Heavensward]]. Released in patch 3.15, players '''do not''' need to complete the level 50 [[Relic Weapon]] or [[Zodiac Weapon]] quest chains to unlock the [[#Quests|Anima Weapon quest chain]]. Players who have obtained the [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons]] will have an advantage with the first step of Anima Weapon quest chain. The advantages are not [[job]] specific. For example, if you have obtained the [[WAR]] Zeta weapon you will have an advantage with the [[DRK]] anima weapon.

[[Anima Weapons]] are the level 60 [[Relic Weapons]] for [[Heavensward]]. First released in [[patch 3.15]], players '''do not''' need to complete the level 50 [[Zodiac Weapon]] quest chains to unlock the [[Anima Weapons/Quest|Anima Weapon quest chain]]. Players who have obtained the [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons]] will be able to skip the first step of Anima Weapon quest chain. This advantage is not [[job]] specific. For example, if players have obtained the [[WAR]] Zeta weapon they will still be able to skip while doing the [[DRK]] anima weapon.


==Guide==
Compared to [[ARR]]'s [[Zodiac Weapon]]s, the [[Heavensward]] relic steps are heavily based on items you can buy with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] and [[Grand Company]] {{Company seal}} [[Company Seal]]s. Players can spend excess currency in advance before starting this quest chain. '''However''', not ''all'' of the items are available for purchase before the quests have been started. After upgrading their Anima weapon to iLvl 230, players can buy [[Replica Anima Weapons|replica versions of past enhancement steps]] from the [[Restoration Node]] for [[glamour]].
The starting quest can be picked up in Idylshire. There are 3 quests that need to be completed in order, for each relic. However, you can work on multiple relics at one time. An example is picking up quest 1 on your PLD, whilst working on quest 3 for your WAR.
===1. [[Soul Without Life]]===
This quest requires the collection of 18 atmas from [[FATEs]] in the new Heavensward areas. 3 atmas are required from each area. However, this stage can be skipped by trading in your Zeta relic weapon. You can complete the FATEs on any class, so feel free to use this grind to get some leveling done.


NOTE: If you are trading in your relic, make sure to finish [[The Vital Title]] quest from [[Jalzahn]] before you do. This is the quest you complete for the [[Home of the Brave]] achievement.
'''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]].'''


*You don't need to do this on the job you're trying to get your Anima weapon on. For example you can level another job while doing this step.

Repeatable quest: {{questlink|repfeature|Soul without Life}}
 
To unlock the quest chain, players need to be level 60 with a [[Disciple of War]] or [[Disciple of Magic]] and complete the [[Main Scenario Quest]] {{questlink|main|Heavensward (Quest)}}. You will then need to complete the one-time quest {{questlink|feature|An Unexpected Proposal}}. Afterwards you will need to complete {{questlink|repfeature|Soul without Life}} for each relic you wish to acquire. You will need to acquire an {{item icon|Astral Nodule}} and an {{item icon|Umbral Nodule}} from [[Syndony]] in [[Mor Dhona]](x22,y5). There are two options for how to do so:
* '''Option 1''': Farm FATEs in each of the six Heavensward zones for crystals. You need one type of crystal from each zone. The drop rate is relatively high as of 2023: about one in three FATEs will drop a crystal, so the grind is not onerous.
** Collect a {{item icon|Luminous Wind Crystal}} from [[The Sea of Clouds]], a {{item icon|Luminous Fire Crystal}} from [[Azys Lla]], and a {{item icon|Luminous Lightning Crystal}} from [[The Churning Mists]] and turn in for an {{item icon|Astral Nodule}}.
** Collect a {{item icon|Luminous Ice Crystal}} from [[Coerthas Western Highlands]], a {{item icon|Luminous Earth Crystal}} from [[The Dravanian Forelands]], and a {{item icon|Luminous Water Crystal}} from [[The Dravanian Hinterlands]] and turn in for an {{item icon|Umbral Nodule}}.
* '''Option 2''': Turn in a [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons|Zodiac Zeta Weapon]] for an {{item icon|Astral Nodule}} and {{item icon|Umbral Nodule}}. '''This will cause you to lose the selected [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons|Zodiac Zeta Weapon]]!'''
** However, this will allow the player to purchase replicas of all completed [[Zodiac Weapons]] (for [[glamour]]) from [[Drake (NPC)|Drake]] even without the original weapon.
Turn in the {{item icon|Astral Nodule}} and {{item icon|Umbral Nodule}} to [[Ardashir]] in [[Azys Lla]] (x7,y11) to complete the quest and receive the Animated weapon.

{| class="wikitable sortable" style= "text-align: center"
Repeatable quest: {{questlink|repfeature|Toughening Up}}
 
Awoken weapons have the same model as the basic ones, but with a colored glow.
 
You will need to complete {{questlink|repfeature|Toughening Up}} for each weapon you wish to upgrade. This quest requires you to complete 10 dungeons with the Animated weapon equipped. You need to have the weapon equipped as you click the exit portal after each dungeon, and the dungeons must be completed in the order given in the quest. High level players can solo the dungeons unsynced by using the Unrestricted Party option. The dungeons you will need to complete are as follows: {{questlink|dungeon|Snowcloak}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Sastasha (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Keeper of the Lake}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Wanderer's Palace (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Amdapor Keep (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Dusk Vigil}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Sohm Al}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Aery}}, and {{questlink|dungeon|The Vault}}. There will be 2 intermissions in which you have to talk to an NPC. After completing all 10 dungeons, turn in the quest to upgrade your weapon.

==Reconditioned Anima Weapons (iLvl 240)==
There are multiple ways to obtain a token and 20 of each are required. The precision items are placed into your inventory upon completion and are traded to [[Sabina]] in [[Idyllshire]].

Reconditioned Anima weapons again have a new model.


{| class="wikitable sortable" style= "text-align: center"
Repeatable quest: {{questlink|repfeature|A Dream Fulfilled}}
 
This step is a bit more involved. For {{questlink|repfeature|A Dream Fulfilled}}, you will need to collect {{item icon|Umbrite}} and {{item icon|Crystal Sand}}. The exact amount will vary due to RNG, but will generally be 57x-60x of each. {{item icon|Umbrite}} can be purchased for {{tomestone|poetics|75}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] each (4275-4500 total), while {{item icon|Crystal Sand}} will require you to trade with [[Ulan]] in [[Idyllshire]] for certain items. Each trade grants 2 {{item icon|Crystal Sand}}. Most of the trade options are a poor deal, and some require items that are no longer obtainable.
 
The only recommended options are:
* 5x {{item icon|Blue Crafters' Scrip Token}} ({{scrip|purple crafter|125}} [[Purple Crafters' Scrip]] total) '''=''' 2 {{item icon|Crystal Sand}}
* 5x {{item icon|Blue Gatherers' Scrip Token}} ({{scrip|purple gatherer|125}} [[Purple Gatherers' Scrip]] total) '''=''' 2 {{item icon|Crystal Sand}}
* 5x {{item icon|Superior Enchanted Ink}} and 5x {{item icon|Thavnairian Mist}} ({{tomestone|poetics|225}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] total) '''=''' 2 {{item icon|Crystal Sand}}.
 
150 of each item are needed to trade for 60 {{item icon|Crystal Sand}}, at a total cost of either {{tomestone|poetics|6750}}, or 150 [[Blue Crafters' Scrip Token|Blue Crafters']] / [[Blue Gatherers' Scrip Token|Gatherers' Scrip Token]] (3,750 [[Scrips|scrip]]).
 
Depending on the economy when you are doing this, primal parts might be a very efficient way to obtain the sand. Make sure to check the [[Market Board]]. See [[Reconditioned Anima Weapons/Quest]] for other trade options and further details.
 
Once you have acquired the items, talk to Ulan to create Refined Crystal Sand and upgrade the stats on your weapon. Once the step is complete, you can turn in the quest and upgrade your weapon.

{{main|Complete Anima Weapons/Quest}}
Complete Anima weapons change their model yet another time, but this time they already come with their built-in light show.
Repeatable quests: {{questlink|repfeature|Born Again Anima}} and {{questlink|repfeature|Some Assembly Required}}
This is one of the more grindy steps. Pick up the quest {{questlink|repfeature|Born Again Anima}}. First you will need to complete the three dungeons {{questlink|dungeon|Sohm Al (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Great Gubal Library (Hard)}}, and {{questlink|dungeon|The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard)}}. These can be done in any order and unsynced; however, '''you must complete the dungeons as the same job of the Anima Weapon you are currently working for to complete the requirements.'''


'''Additional Recipes''':
Next, you will need to farm aetheric density. This is the main grind. You can earn aetheric density by running a variety of Heavensward activities, including FATEs, dungeons, trials, and raids with your weapon equipped. The most efficient method is to farm {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Eyes of the Creator (Savage)}} (A9S) unsynced 20 times. This can be done solo with gear at item level 610 or higher, or together with a few max-level teammates.  Your progress may be viewed using the {{item icon|Enhanced Anima Glass}}. Talk to the [[Verification Node]] after completing the grind.


These are Specialist crafts and the first column contains new crafts that have also been added. All crafter specializations are required to craft a complete set of items.
You will also need to acquire a {{item icon|Newborn Soulstone}} via {{questlink|repfeature|Some Assembly Required}}, which requires you to collect and turn in 15 {{item icon|Pneumite}}, which can be purchased from [[Sundry Splendors]] for {{tomestone|poetics|100}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] each ({{tomestone|poetics|1500}} total) or from your Grand Company quartermaster for {{company seal|4000}} [[Company Seal]]s each ({{company seal|60000}} total).


{| class="wikitable sortable" style= "text-align: center"
Once these steps are complete, turn in the quest to upgrade your weapon.

The groups have to completed in a specific order, but trials within a given group can be completed in any order. The trials are as follows:

Anima Weapons are the level 60 Relic Weapons for Heavensward. First released in patch 3.15, players do not need to complete the level 50 Zodiac Weapon quest chains to unlock the Anima Weapon quest chain. Players who have obtained the Zodiac Zeta Weapons will be able to skip the first step of Anima Weapon quest chain. This advantage is not job specific. For example, if players have obtained the WAR Zeta weapon they will still be able to skip while doing the DRK anima weapon.

Compared to ARR's Zodiac Weapons, the Heavensward relic steps are heavily based on items you can buy with Allagan Tomestone of Poetics Allagan Tomestones of Poetics and Grand Company Company seal Company Seals. Players can spend excess currency in advance before starting this quest chain. However, not all of the items are available for purchase before the quests have been started. After upgrading their Anima weapon to iLvl 230, players can buy replica versions of past enhancement steps from the Restoration Node for glamour.

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.

Lore

“

A young researcher hailing from the Near East has come to Eorzea in search of aid. His field of study? Anima, an essence he considers to be a reflection of the soul. Through a chance encounter with the master craftsman Gerolt, he and the legendary blacksmith have joined forces to create a weapon the likes of which the realm has never seen.

— Patch 3.1 Official Site

“

Though it is only a matter of time before the anima fully develops, Ardashir believes he can hasten the process. To that end, he voyages to Idyllshire in search of an acquaintance, one Ulan. A fellow researcher and enthusiast of all creatures arcane, she has devoted her life to their study and methods by which they can be enhanced. Could her work be the key to unlocking the anima's potential?

— Patch 3.3 Official Site

“

After many tests and trials, the anima would appear to be at the pinnacle of perfection. To that end, Ardashir is making preparations to return to the Near East that he might present his findings. Gerolt, on the other hand, believes there is yet work to be done. Could our resident drunkard and realm-renown blacksmith hold the key to the anima's advancement?

— Patch 3.4 Official Site

“

As repair work on the Allagan droid progresses, it becomes clear that it won't be long until the anima weapon is fortified at last. Just what form will the anima take once all is said and done? Well, that's the million-gil question.

Repeatable quest: Repeatable Feature QuestA Dream Fulfilled

This step is a bit more involved. For Repeatable Feature QuestA Dream Fulfilled, you will need to collect Umbrite icon1.png  Umbrite and Crystal sand icon1.png  Crystal Sand. The exact amount will vary due to RNG, but will generally be 57x-60x of each. Umbrite icon1.png  Umbrite can be purchased for Allagan Tomestone of Poetics 75 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics each (4275-4500 total), while Crystal sand icon1.png  Crystal Sand will require you to trade with Ulan in Idyllshire for certain items. Each trade grants 2 Crystal sand icon1.png  Crystal Sand. Most of the trade options are a poor deal, and some require items that are no longer obtainable.

The only recommended options are:

150 of each item are needed to trade for 60 Crystal sand icon1.png  Crystal Sand, at a total cost of either Allagan Tomestone of Poetics 6,750, or 150 Blue Crafters' / Gatherers' Scrip Token (3,750 scrip).

Depending on the economy when you are doing this, primal parts might be a very efficient way to obtain the sand. Make sure to check the Market Board. See Reconditioned Anima Weapons/Quest for other trade options and further details.

Once you have acquired the items, talk to Ulan to create Refined Crystal Sand and upgrade the stats on your weapon. Once the step is complete, you can turn in the quest and upgrade your weapon.

Complete Anima weapons change their model yet another time, but this time they already come with their built-in light show.

Repeatable quests: Repeatable Feature QuestBorn Again Anima and Repeatable Feature QuestSome Assembly Required

This is one of the more grindy steps. Pick up the quest Repeatable Feature QuestBorn Again Anima. First you will need to complete the three dungeons Dungeon Sohm Al (Hard), Dungeon The Great Gubal Library (Hard), and Dungeon The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard). These can be done in any order and unsynced; however, you must complete the dungeons as the same job of the Anima Weapon you are currently working for to complete the requirements.

Next, you will need to farm aetheric density. This is the main grind. You can earn aetheric density by running a variety of Heavensward activities, including FATEs, dungeons, trials, and raids with your weapon equipped. The most efficient method is to farm Raid Alexander - The Eyes of the Creator (Savage) (A9S) unsynced 20 times. This can be done solo with gear at item level 610 or higher, or together with a few max-level teammates. Your progress may be viewed using the Enhanced Anima Glass Icon.png  Enhanced Anima Glass. Talk to the Verification Node after completing the grind.

You will also need to acquire a Newborn soulstone icon1.png  Newborn Soulstone via Repeatable Feature QuestSome Assembly Required, which requires you to collect and turn in 15 Pneumite icon1.png  Pneumite, which can be purchased from Sundry Splendors for Allagan Tomestone of Poetics 100 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics each (Allagan Tomestone of Poetics 1,500 total) or from your Grand Company quartermaster for Company seal 4,000 Company Seals each (Company seal 60,000 total).
