Relic Weapons are sixteen weapons obtainable through a series of upgrades. They FFXIV Gil are lauded as legendary weapons once used by war heroes during the Great Crystal War twenty years prior to present day Vana'diel.

Relic Weapons are the first of four legendary sets of weapons to be introduced. Relic Weapons were added in the Rise of the Zilart expansion pack, with the sole exception of Aegis, which was added in Chains of Promathia.

Not all Relic Weapons are actual weapons, as the set includes a wind instrument and a shield as well. The rest of the weapons each belong to a different weapon type and come with their own unique weapon skills. Each weapon would produce a different special effect for its wielder, known as an aftermath, when the unique weapon skill was used for the weapon. Also, in addition to their stated effects, all Relic weapons come with the hidden effect of occasionally dealing triple damage.

To obtain the weapons, players must venture into Dynamis and obtain the base relic weapons, and subsequently upgrade the weapons through various stages by paying ancient currency, as well as other special items obtained from Dynamis, to the Goblin Switchstix.

The initial level of a Relic Weapon is 75, but various Magian Trials may be undertaken to improve the weapons, capable of being upgraded like the Empyrean Weapons to a final, elevated Level 99 Afterglow version. The afterglow of all Relic Weapons is a radiant gold.

Muahahaha.... MUAHAHAHAHAHA! These gods-given hands've worked yet another miracle! Feast yer eyes on Thyrus, jus' as it was in days of yore! 'Tis a sight to move a man to tears.... ye lucky bastard. Ye'd better bloody well take care of it!

Relic weapons are among the best weapons available when completely upgraded, and are the most customizable. Relic weapons for the current patch-cycle or expansion require heavy amounts of grinding to upgrade, but are rewarding once upgraded; relic weapons from expansions prior to current (as of writing, Endwalker) are already obsolete and primarily used as glamours for vanity.

The requirements for "A Relic Reborn" are not too strenuous,[1] although later stages can be time-consuming.

The Relic weapons have six stages of upgrades: base form, Zenith, Atma, Animus, Novus, and Nexus. Starting with the Novus stage, players can customize the secondary stats on their weapon. Upon Cheap FFXIV Gil reaching the Nexus stage, players can transform their relic weapon into a Zodiac weapon starting with patch 2.45.
