A Relic Reborn Walkthrough

nvm found it

Thanks for the info. Also i just finished up main story and all my warrior quests so i can reactivate my relic reborn quest. During 1.0 I was one fight away from my relic (ifrit extreme). So it saved my progress luckily and now my quest log says I have to beat navel hard mode. Thats the last fight I was told?

However I assume I have to beat ifrit hard and garuda hard to unlock titan hard mode. O the irony. Guess im not as close as i would have hoped.

SMN Beastman Kills:
Sylpheed Sighs x 8
Sylpheed Screeches x 8
Sylpheed Snarls x 8

Testing now to make sure isn't bugged.

Edit: Tested and the quest text is accurate! Onward to Hydra!

Also need to add a step: To get the 900 Alagan Tombstone of Philosophy Item after all the primal wins.

Thanks for posting this :).

Guess SE wants to artificially stretch out how fast you can get relics as there is a weekly cap for tombstones.

Yes, you can only receive unlimited number of the ones required for NQ Relic per week so they've obviously made the decision to slow down the rate of relic acquisition.

Actually it looks like you need to do the hard primals as the job you're getting the relic for. Didn't get the item from Garuda playing as a different class :(

yes its actually very easy if theres good communication between 2 BRDs, his Voice attacks can be 100% disabled via 2 BRD rotating the skill "Blunt Arrow" , when Chimera starts casting the first Voice attack, BRD#1 uses "Blunt Arrow" and while BRD#1 in Cooldown for the skill, theres a big chance Chimera will use it again, so BRD#2 uses his "Blunt Arrow"

back and forth like that, its very easy then.

-Big thanks to Magnesium02 for making this thread, and thanks to everyone who pitched in with info, very helpful !

You could be bugged, the quest could be bugged, a particular job could be bugged, the quest mentions nothing about it, etc.
My question stands for others' experience.


And I haven't knocked anything or anyone. There are bugs and typos throughout the relic quest. Knowing this will save me and many others a lot of time.

confirmed, play the job your getting the relic for, moving on.

For Mnk beastmen is :
x8 Pugilists
x8 Archers
x8 Lancers

Does Barbarian's Bardiche also drop in any dungeons?

I found Blunt Aeolian Scimitar which is the ground item for PLD, so wondering?

PHILOSOPHY. Not mythology. Myth has a weekly cap of 300. Philosophy you can earn endlessly; up to 2,000 stored points.

Here I thought what you needed for monk was gold smithing but its leather working. It is leather working right? It seems strange that you use gold smithing to repair monk weapons but you need leather working. :X

Monk's weapons are spread around BSM, GSM, and LTW. But yes, LTW is monk's relic pre-cursor.

Just to clarify...I have to do my job quests all over again? Or do I have to find this broken item before I can start from my 1.0 quest?

See I just finished the main storyline (got my imperial mount). Got up to the quest where I talk to the guy in hyrstmill. Nothing followed that though.

Ya you do have to do all your class/job quests. I just found that out too.

You need to clear Amdapoor Keep using the job you are getting the relic for. I just cleared it last night as WAR, but didn't get the glyph for MNK.

You can get the parts for the crafted weapons from tradecraft leves too.

Some of the rare armor pieces that use to come from NMs are from them too, like Mossy horn, Which is actually the reward for the Armorer leve i have in that picture.

Also, the leve givin me the bloody lance head is one that can be turned in 3 times, so now I has 3 of them ^^ Coincidently, so was the armorer one, so I got 3 Mossy horns out of it.

i don't know about your server, but on ours it sells pretty cheap, like 60-80k , same goes for most the weapons listed here, so you might want to check the Markets if you haven't done so already

by the way, your sig, just made my week, didn't laugh out loud from anythig on these forums in awhile lol

*bumping while i'm at it*

I can't get my green book crafted by an alchemist until they get pudding flesh for a quest, which very few people know how to get. any help?

---

Yeah, but the alchemist won't be able to make it without the offhand they get from a quest that takes pudding flesh

SMN WARNING: If you have the [Erudite's Picatrix of Casting] equipped, the quest will still be red and he will ask you for an [Erudite's Picatrix of Healing] with 2 [Quicktongue Materia III] melded to it. If the [Erudite's Picatrix of Casting] is in your bags, the quest will be gold and he will accept the item.

thank you so much for this guide as a whm its great to have my relic weapon imo finished the look cant wait to level up and get it

Silly question, but is it possible to do any of these things out of order? For example... I can't activate the quests yet (haven't finished the main story), but if I did the weapon + double meld part, will it still count later on? Which (if any) parts are doable beforehand?

First things, thank you to everyone who contributes to this thread. I admit I have a bad habit of only checking the forums when I not playing, like when I'm locked out or at work, so if I don't update the first post in a timely manner that is why XD. Secondly if anyone is currently up to one of the bugged parts like the weapons or the mob kills, and will still be at the same point on the 4th, could you please let us know if they fix the bugs on the quest log? Thanks

Do you have direct confirmation of that? I would assume that the kills are the same for those who share a beastcamp but want to be 100% sure

Also I've heard you need Thavairian Mist from the Tomestomes, is this false or is it the next weapon?

---

Yes, casting book is confirmed. And I believe the Thavairian Mist has something to do with Relic +1. I heard somewhere that apparently the content for HQ relics is obtainable in the current patch, but I have no idea how.

The drops are not tied to being on the relic quest. You can farm them as per a normal dungeon

---

Thank you. Adding this step. I didn't put a "quest end" note ad the end of step 14 cause I didn't know if that really was all. Please let us know if there are still further steps!

---

Materia conversion is based on the purpose of the gear. So tanking material comes from tanking gear, magic material comes from Mage gear. The grade of material is determined by item level

Could you please confirm that you had to kill zaharak archers, and that you aren't subject to the same bug as PLD which really needed thaumaturges

The whole weapons do not drop. Only the components.

Yes. Even if you already have AF amd job skills from 1.0, you will have to do the quests again. Adding a clarification to first post

---

Yes. If you know what class you are going to relic, you can obtain the weapon and get it melded in advance. You can also work on saving up tomestones for step 15

Does anybody know if you can use a high quality base weapons for the 2x materia melded weapon part?

I somehow feel that the people in progress but incomplete from 1.0 are the most screwed. They've gone through the tediousness of hamlets, speed runs, faction leves but do not benefit from the simplifications of the early part of the new quest. The latter parts of the new quests seems annoying with the completing with X job and buying tombstones.

I do not know. When doing Class quests for crafting/gathering classes it only counts it if you have the correct quality status, so HQ may not work, but then for tradecraft leves, you can use HQ items as turn ins. But with the relic quest, you actually lose the melded weapon as it gets 'absorbed' so to speak into the creation of the relic weapon. Making/buying a HQ weapon would probably only add an unessesary expense to something that the end result will be the same. Melding is very different to 1.0, so HQing doesn't effect melding success.

Very much so. But then there are those people who actually went through and completed the relic quest fully in 1.0. They kind of have both sides of it. They have the frustration that what they went through is now so easy, but also the pride in that they were able to accomplish it when it was a lot ... lot .... lot harder.

And if anyone new is wondering HERE is the guide to making a relic in 1.0. Be thankful you don't have spend millions of gill just on materia and have dozens of failed melds that lost you all the materia and the item (took me 8 melds and something like 25million), you don't have to train like mad to get 17 minute perfect clears of dungeons, you don't have to spiritbond and do a difficult faction leve with a useless weapon with close to no stats at all, and you don't have to learn how to play dragoon from scratch just to clear Ifrit Extreme. Don't get me wrong, it was fun to be challenged in such a way, but boy do we have it easy now in comparison.

I can second that the parts can come from level 45 tradecraft leves - my other half has had Bloody Bardiche Head multiple times from handing in HQ items on the Limsa Level 45 BSM leve "No Returns, only Exchanges"

Dhorme Chimera is killing me. I attempted it last night for 4 hours straight with PUGs. I was on PLD, kept hate, rotated def buffs, dodged front cone attack. All except one WHM throughout the entire evening were just not able to dodge the ice circle attack. I had the camera fully zoomed out to watch it over and over. Is this normal??

Watched Flash Gordon's video and the ranged members were further back while a PLD OT stunned voices. We had all members on hind legs, in between tail whip area and side attack. It's a bit unclear as the WAR is taking the video. Question is, would alternating Shield Bash and Spirits Within for every voice move prevent resists? OR are we better off with 2xBRD stuns?

It's really frustrating because it's not really that hard, I wonder if people have bad latency/lag because of the current server configuration or they just don't look for the red area on the floor?

Thank you pretty kitty for keeping up with this. I know how busy it can be know, since I rarely visit the forums during times I can play as well.

And thanks to all who contributed information to this, from other forums, to the posts in this thread. Seeing the community come together for a common cause is a beautiful thing. ^^

hey guys i have got a question,

i am currently up to Obtain Alumina salt from dhorme chimera at the weeping saint,

i have joint a group and we have defeated chimera, but it seems like i didnt get alumina salt, is it 100% drop?

or do i have to go kill it as the job that activated the quest....?

Thanks! Any idea if I can do the Chimera, Amdapor Keep, and Primals parts too, or does the quest have to be logged to get the drops?

Also curious about the HQ weapon. That's what I've got currently, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Any insight?

where do I get a golden ink? I have the bloody book and 2x savage materia III

The Chimera, Keep, Hydra, and Primals must be killed in order while on the proper step of the quest.

You have to kill it as the class the relic quest is for.

Getting a group for the keep at the moment sucks, everyone wants to just speed run it and get the tokens in under 15 minutes, if you've not run the dungeon already they ask you to leave. How are people to learn this dungeon when the last 4 groups i've joined have asked me to drop cause they only want people who know what happens to run it.
It's like the speed runs of 1.0 all over again.
