Anima Weapons

Key elements of this article are incomplete. You can help the Final Fantasy XIV Wiki by expanding it.

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.

Guide

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.

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.
