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 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.

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." — [FFXIV Lodestone Patch 3.15 Notes]

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 Heavensward. You will then need to complete the one-time quest An Unexpected Proposal. Afterwards you will need to complete Soul without Life for each relic you wish to acquire. You will need to acquire an Astral Nodule and an Umbral Nodule from Syndony in Mor Dhona(x22,y5). There are two options for how to do so:

• Farm FATEs in each of the six Heavensward zones for crystals. You need one type of crystal from each zone.
  • Collect a Luminous Wind Crystal from The Sea of Clouds, a Luminous Fire Crystal from Azys Lla, and a Luminous Lightning Crystal from The Churning Mists and turn in for an Astral Nodule.
  • Collect a Luminous Ice Crystal from Coerthas Western Highlands, a Luminous Earth Crystal from The Dravanian Forelands, and a Luminous Water Crystal from The Dravanian Hinterlands and turn in for an Umbral Nodule.
• Turn in a Zodiac Zeta Weapon for an Astral Nodule and Umbral Nodule. WARNING: This will cause you to LOSE the selected Zodiac Zeta Weapon!

Turn in the Astral Nodule and Umbral Nodule to Ardashir in Azys Lla (x7,y11) to complete the quest and receive the Animated weapon.
