Born Again Anima Quest

Hey!

I am trying to get my anima weapon as a bard but I don't know how to continue.
I am with Born Again Anima quest to get Terpander and it is supposed that I have to do dungeons and trials from Heavensward but... how many dungeons?
I don't understand Enhanced Animall Glass very well :S

Thanks in advance! :)

I guess it is the light farming stage.
So you have to do lots of dungeons and trials from Heavensward to complete the quest.
Iirc it was around 120 kills of A1S or A9S ( they were the easiest to farm with the highest gain of points per kill back then) to complete the quest while it was current.

if you use the glass while having it equip it will give you some info, check your Journal for that current quest and it will give you details on what dungeons. You must have the relic equip to make it count.

If your in the rune stage of lights you can ether do Raids like Alexander, yet most doing Void ark and Dark queen path being Alex is not as popular ( depends on server) . Fates give little light can do it while your in queue or anything HW related. In my opinion if not Alex Void ark is the fastest way if doing lights if you have no luck with Alex. My goal is doing all relics so have tested it out.

Basically how it works is like this - You run Dungeons/duties/trials/even raids to gather light.
The more difficult the challenge - the more light you pick up.
You have to fill all 10 runes before the quest is done. unfortunately there's no exact amount indicator...its a bit of a guessing game - aside from runes indicating progress in a rough sense.

You can run the dungeons unsynched....even solo if you wish. I did brayfox longstop hard several times...found Alexander Savage Raids also very effective as well...not soloable of course...but it works.

Anything up to HW will work. Stormblood won't work however.

I'll warn you right now..it's a slow process..took me 1 to 2 weeks. But persistence will win out.

Your Anima Glass won't say how many because different instances give you different amounts of density - your best course of action is to frequently check it to see how far along you are.

For example, one of the most spammed instances for collecting density is A1S (if you use cross world PF you might see these as "light farming" teams) - spamming this instance ONLY should take you more or less 60 runs. Other instances, like trials and dungeons (all lvl 60, mind, SB content doesn't count for this afaik), might give you more or less density, so you can't know for sure how many runs you'll need to complete unless you know for SURE you'll only be doing runs of one specific instance.

Thanks for you replies!
I will try to do it with unsync dungeons and A1S throught Party finder.

I hope that it doesn't take me too much time :(

A1S has been a fairly quick way for most people to do that step. Not sure if it was just my timing or not, but did Wanderers' Palace(not hard mode even) and it was giving me Sturdy or Robust each run. Did it for a good 2 hours yesterday on my AST to finish that step and got the last 6 runes finished off.

But... Wanderers' Palace is a dungeon from Realm Reborn. Can I do dungeons from RR to gather light? I thought that it was only with Heavensward.

It takes about 2 minutes per run, give or take some seconds. Finding a team is rather easy, so even if they don't go at it for long it shouldn't take that long (don't forget you need your anima equipped for this - I've done a few runs whenb I forgot and it's annoying).

I believe it's only HW content, not home right now though so can't be 100% sure. Maybe roulettes count?...

For Anima Relic only HW content.

I know Wanderers Palace does work(found out originally when taking my Squadron through there, and then testing it myself...roughly 10min runs soloing it as an AST). Don't ask me why, but it just does/did for me for some reason.

Great! I will try with Wanderers Palace as well :)

They did mention that they made some adjustments to other locations that relics can get lights of will have to try it as well. If command missions give lights hell I can knock out those achievements while doing relics.

I also did it solo, unsync on my 70 AST outside of command missions, since the command missions do tend to take a bit longer than the soloing with it unsync.

Did any other areas work or just that one dungeon outside of HW?

I honestly didn't test any others...just knew I could finish it in under 10min solo, so I went ahead and farmed that.

ARR Dungeons DO work....as well as HW.

Just an FYI.

Key here is to remember that you need to A: Use your weapon B: make sure its equipped prior to starting boss fight? (maybe?) - honestly it wasn't that big of a hassle to leave the thing equipped non-stop.

I spammed brayfox longstop with A4S? (I think it was 4..its the refurb boss fight) myself..but that's a white mage.

That is the most important part. You can run the entire dungeon with a i340 weapon if you want, but must fight the boss with the relic, since when he dies that's when you get the aetheric condensing part. Though, with the i260 you have at that point for the farming, you have more than enough damage output to kill things fast(the Tonberry King was at about 20% after Combust II was at 1sec remaining...that's without an active card boosting my DPS, and constant Malefic III)

I got density from running 2.5 patch content (WP HM) so it is not just HW content.

Last update they added ARR content. But don't bother with Astragalos as it doesn't provide light but Frontlines do. Why Astragalos doesn't is beyond me.

For anyone stumbling across this thread after the Dawn Trail release, you can easily solo A1S in about 1.5 minutes and it takes approximately 5 runs to complete one rune. I am estimating about 50 runs to complete all 10. So this is now easily doable in a day.

A side note: I did find that I had to have the bow equipped to get credit.

A9S is still the GOAT for that farm. It's doable solo at a similar time in basic AF100 gear and you need to run it 20-21 times for the whole quest.
