I checked your character on lodestone. You aren't wearing the summoner body piece. Have you finished the level 50 job quest?

No one knows. Until someone posts their discs or failure trying to use HQ I can't answer

I figured out what is was. I forgot about the lvl 50 smn quest. But ty for all the info and help.

Just a quick confirmation, the Scholar quest does tell you to get the right book and materia, I can confirm that as of today. Can't say about the summoner one, but the first post is accurate about Scholar.

Does anyone know if you can use the pre-relic weapon (as in, let it get bound to you) and it's still eligible for quest turn in?

Just from reading your guide it seems to be pretty "easy" to obtain the best weapon in game. How much time will it take to get it if you got a good group of People doing the fights?

Best Weapon in game should take some time to obtain...or am i the only one thinking that way?

HM Titan isn't easy. Most people get stuck there.

How much time depends on how long you get stuck on Titan.

I can confirm the HQ version works. My brother accidentally had me put a battledance 2 on his sword, so I gave him my HQ double melded Aeolian Scimitar and he was able to turn it in for the quest.

how do i get battledance materia 3?

I've heard this is possible but have yet to confirm it myself, so asking here:

After clearing D'horme Chimera, but before finishing the relic (so you don't have the actual step open anymore) is it possible to help someone out who needs it so they can catch up?

Yes it is possible. In order to enter any of the quest related instances (chimera and hydra) at least one person must be on that step. Otherwise, there are no requirements on entering the instance to help people.

Just another quick note about the scholar one. The beastmen in the first post are correct, ignore the quest tracker.

Has anyone who has gotten their relic who turned in an HQ compared the stats versus a NQ turn in? Since other aspects of the game give bonuses for HQ would be nice to confirm this does/does not.

Thanks for the response Magnesium, I'll just meld myself an HQ Scimitar to use and when I hit that point, try to turn it in. I'll post my findings. Worst case scenario I have to go back and synth an NQ, (the horror.)

I am 100% that turning in the HQ weapon (if possible) does not yield an enhanced version of the relic, for 2 reasons. There's no HQ in the dats other than the upgraded version, and it's absurdly easy to HQ the required item, if it were possible it would be pointless to ever turn in the NQ weapon. The rest of the quest is much more difficult than obtaining either an HQ or NQ version of this weapon.

Hey everyone. I have added the relic +1 section as well as a huge FAQ at the bottom. I think it now covers most thing that people want to know. My 'simple' guide has turned into a monster!

I helped some friends through Ifrit and Garuda. Garuda is really fun once you get the wind patterns down. We tried Titan a few times too and well .... my ping to servers is around 470 - 530 so trying to dodge was uh .... challenging. But it is also fun in a manic kind of way.

Big thank you for confirming. It's been a popular question.

When I was in Mor Dhona I saw someone successfully convert a tortoiseshell scale mail into one. So I believe that and ilvl of 45 or higher body might produce a battledance materia III. I will confirm as soon as I get mine spiritbound.

Does anyone know, if you abandon your quest for Relic Reborn, but you've already handed in your Materia Melded item, do you get it back? Or do you need to go to talk to him to switch it? Or do you just lose it?

No you lose it for good. You won't get it back. If you start the quest again for the same weapon you will start form scratch.

The following issues have been addressed:

-In some instances, the specified items to collect were incorrect in the “A Relic Reborn” quest.
-In some instances, the specified enemies to defeat were incorrect in the “A Relic Reborn” quest.

Can anyone up the the bugged weapons or the bugged monster kills stages confirm that they have been fixed?

Hey, Magnesium02. Can you make a guide on how to obtain AF+1?

So, i took the Artemis Bow quest that says to go to Natalan... i went there (in the area showed on map) and searched everywhere for this chest with the bow but couldn't find it anywhere. Is it the bug that they says in the known issues or do i have to search better (maybe someone can take a screen of the exact location?!) ?

Im guessing you havent fight Chimera, Hydra, or HM garuda and Titan?

Completed step 7 as a SMN. The quest log asked for Erudite's Picatrix Of Casting + 2 Savage Might III

you should add to the guide that PLD relic shield only reaquires 1 Thavnairian Mist to upgrade it to +1.

I accidentally abandon my relic quest, raging from Duty Finder Party Garuda HM. I already beaten Chimera, Hydra, and Ifrit HM. Now I have to start all over again. I'm such idiot when I'm angry. Anyway thanks for the guide.

I wish it was possible to do at least some of the fights as a different class, but I understand why they did it the way they did it. Don't deserve the weapon if you don't prove you can play your class properly.

BTW, I just helped with the chimera, and I think they ninja nerfed it. Voice of the ram didn't one-shot everyone like it did the first time I did it. It hurt a lot, but we lived. Just had to cleanse off all the frostbite afterword.

How do you switch relic weapon? I started WAR but I don't want it, abandoning doesn't work as it just keeps asking me to get WAR relic.

edit: nvm! i was being dumb.

You have to talk to him with the job you want the relic for, unless even then he is still demanding you get the warrior relic.

Can u use an hq weapon with the double meld to turn in to start or does it have to be nq?


Nvm found my answer =p

How do I start my 2nd relic quest? I just finished the first one.

just like how you started your first, finish ur job quests for next relic you want weapon for, then talk to Grelot

After completing my summoner relic weapon, neither of the NPCs will give me the quest for my DRG relic. Gerdolt is only offering me the scholar quest, and nedrick isn't offering me anything at all. Yes I've changed jobs and everything when I talked to these npcs.

edit: hold the thought, let me finish my class quests first >_> lololol.

How do you get your relic +1? it is a quest or....? should be added to main post if possible :)

EDIT: my bad sorry it was small >_>

I find the whole Relic Quest to be, a little Overly difficult. But still, I cant wait to get my Curtana.

I am not sure, but the area the map circle covers can be quite a expanse. Just make sure you have checked all paths and in every nook.

Talk to Gerolt on the next job you want. Make sure you have done all the job quests.

.... it is on the main post ....

Even tho im stull not liking the copy/paste of it, I'm just really glad they removed all the retardedness from the relic quest. Multi-meld failures, stupid speed runs, stupid beast coins, stupid hamlet seals.... Now its all about your player skill.

Anybody got pass Titan on AF gear? I guess for a DPS I'd still best spend some time to get a Primal Weapon though... (Company 50 weapon now)

I was wandering if I should prioritize my philosophies for Relic (Titan on AF) or spend some Philosophies getting several Darklight pieces before going for Titan.... I beat Garuda on AF before though...
(currently on step Ifrit)

On Titan everyone should have DL and at least a Ifrit weapon at the lowest. You can't get carried past Titan like the other fights, it's all about skills and being able to kill the heart fast enough.

Is it better to +1 relic or buying ilvl90 myth gears for Coil?
Edit: I am a WM btw.

Hello,

I just Finished melding my Longarms Composite Bow with two Heaven's Eye III. When I go to turn in the quest, I'm getting a red quest turn in. As in I am unable to turn in my quest.

I have consulted other Bards on my server and they tell me that I have the right weapon with the right Mats. So my question is; Are there any other Bards with this problem? Maybe the update last night (9/17/2013 12:00 am pst) had something to do with it?

I haven't been able to anything about this bug (if it is even a bug)

Thanks Agian,
Bazu
