Zodiac Weapons are upgraded versions of Relic Weapons which are special fabled weapons that repeatedly appear in the Final Fantasy series. Each weapon is designed specifically and restricted to a certain job. Zodiac Weapons and 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. Zodiac Weapons can be upgraded through a series of difficult tasks, quests or rare items to potentially come the most powerful weapons in the game. The four stages between Atma Zodiac Weapons and Nexus Zodiac Weapons are labeled as "fabled relic weapons" officially in-game; however most players will refer to these as Zodiac Weapons. The last two stages (iLvl 125+) are referred to as "legendary Zodiac Braves weapons" in-game; but again are called Zodiac Weapons by players.

Lore

"Legend tells of heroes known as the Zodiac Braves who saved the world from certain destruction. Bearing arms that shone with the light of a thousand stars, they arose to banish the gathering darkness. Inspired by this legend, a Near Eastern alchemist named Jalzahn has journeyed to Eorzea. His sole objective: the creation of mighty weapons that would rival even those wielded by the heroes of eld." — [FFXIV Lodestone Patch 2.28 Notes]

This leads you to the quest Star Light, Star Bright where you are able to customize your weapon by melding 75 different materias with Alexandrite onto a Sphere Scroll. When upgraded, Novus Zodiac Weapons will glow bright yellow / gold when unsheathed.
