A Relic Reborn Walkthrough

[Magnesium02]

*cough* big Q&A incoming. I think I have got all the unanswered questions int he thread since I last posted. Apologies if I missed one of yours.

Thank you to everyone who confirmed the SMN and SCH quests. I think that one person who had their SCH quest bugged was having localisation issues with the french client. For english the quest hasn't changed and is bugged as usual.

Personally, I spent a busy weekend getting SMN to 50 and completing story quests. I was unfortunatly spoiled for one 'shocking' thing which ruined it a little for me, but apart from that it was very enjoyable. I look forward to future story expansions. I am now finally working on my own relic quest for SMN, so I will actually know what I'm talking about, heh.

I just hit 50, and haven't started the quest yet or anything.

If I buy the weapon now will that mess something up, do I need to wait till that step to buy it?

Nope, the weapon is something you can do in advance. In fact, you could potentially get all the weapons crafted and melded and have them sitting in a bank ready for the next class you do the quest on.

Anyone know how to proceed with the smn relic now? which weapon and materia should i get now?

Casting book with Savage Might. As I said above, the quest seems to have resumed its normal bugged status.

How do I get quicktongue III? The marketboard ones for sale are insanely overpriced... I heard it was assimilated from white/pinks and greens could not be assimilated. Also it has to be a disciple of magic item....does it matter if the item is for "all classes"?

Each item should say wether it is convertable or not. To get tier III materia you need gear with an ilevel (Item Level, not Equipping Level) of 45 or more. As for all classes items, I am not sure. All we know is that the conversion possibilities is based on the items use. If it is equippable by all classes but favours mellee stats you are more likely to get mellee materia.

i looked at the Wildling's Cesti stats and honestly its so dam similar to my unique lvl 44 im using right now doesnt seem worth the trouble unless it has stages in which it can be upgraded ? to a better weapon

The purpose of the Cesti isn't to be used in itself, but to be upgraded to a super level 50 item. You can use the melded weapon before turning it in for the quest, but the main purpose of it now is for relic quest.

how`d you get the battledance materia III ? I cant salvage anything from AK...so?

See answer above regarding materia. There is a lot of randomness and chance involved in materia conversion.

Little Question.. I see someone has "AF+1" How do you get it? Does this quest give you AF weapon or AF weapon +1 ?

AF +1 is obtained by improving the relic items gained from the Relic Reborn quest. To upgrade, you need to talk to the furnace near Gerolt and exchange the relic plus some items costing 900 Allagan tomestones of mythology.

Since this is a popular question, I will add a section to my first post about relic upgrades. I wish I had reserved a second post on this thread. I will have to fiddle with the formatting so it doesn't look all wall of text-y, so give me a bit on this.

I was at ifritX also @ 1.0. Now my journal says I need to enter The Navel HARD (titan). I have the key items from ifrit and garuda hard, but I still need to beat garuda to unlock titan. My journal says I've completed all the steps up until titan. One of the steps is defeating hydra. I have not done this in game, but my journal says I've finished the hydra steps of the quest. I am just confused because I still have my unfinished relic. I dont want to go and beat titan, and not get my relic just because I didn't fight hydra, even though my journal says I have. I got in 2.0, beat the story quest then I finished the job quests. After story and Job quests I spoke with Ironheart npc outside of waking sands, then I spoke with rowena in revenants tol. then I spoke with gerolt. when i spoke with gerolt he handed me my unfinished curtana and now he just wants me to fight titan. so I'm hoping I just have to beat titan hard and get 900 philosophy. Why do I still have my unfinished relic?

When the partial quests transcribes from 1.0 you will be placed in the approximate position you were in, in the old quest in the new quest. THat means that your quest journal will say you have completed various new steps that repalced the old steps.

I am not sure why you would still have your unfinished curtana. It should have been turned back in to gerolt halfway between killing hydra and starting on the primals. You should send this in as a bug report.

PLEASE UPDATE THIS GUIDE the quest is actually called "weapon smith of legend" not a relic reborn u get the relic reborn quest after the first quest

Don't think it was really worthy of shouting at me in capslock. I never realised that there were 2 quests until I actually started mine, seeing as how most people had commonsense to realise that you get the actual quest later. Updated first post to indicate it is a quest chain.

Can anyone confirm whether or not an HQ melded weapon can be turned in for the requirements? I am sitting on some HQ aeolian scimitars and was planning to meld one and use it until I got a better sword, and then eventually turn it in for the quest objective... but if they only accept NQs.

As far as I know, no one as yet has testing out if you can turn in HQ weapons. A couple of people have asked but no one has confirmed or denied.

Not sure if this was confirmed yet, but for Warrior the Beastmen are U'Ghamaro Quarrymen, Bedesmen and Roundmen.



There's a typo in the quest that counts kills of Roundsman as Bedesmen and Bedesmen kill as Priest kills.

Thank you. Added this to the growing number of bug notes.

Can you maybe add how to obtain the Holy Shield too?

The shield is a 2-for-1 deal. You get it automatically with the sword, you lucky paladins.

How do I get enchanted gold ink? like what class/level is required and whats the recipe? TYVM in advance

Alchemist makes it with Gold Sand and some other stuff (base items are listed on the front post). For more specifics, check out www.xivdb.com. It is the best FFXIV database out there and can help with so many things.

Are the SUM and SCH weapons still bugged?

Summoner is, but it is the same bugs as before.

Okay you'll have to excuse me since I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but does that mean when you equip it it won't have the stats it's supposed to and is useless or is it just that the text is bugged and that you can still get it and it will work?

The quest text is bugged when it comes to telling you which weapon you need to get melded to turn in. The quest will say you need an Erudite Picatrix of Healing, when you need the Casting version of the book.

Okay thank you very much.

I have a question to part 7:
If i have already used the weapon and its bound to me, can i still give the weapon to Gerolt ?
Kinda don't want to try it out and put materia in it if its "useless" then.

Yes, you can trade in used weapons as long as it is melded correctly.

Thank you very much.

hey OP, THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to do/update this!! ...

I am now on the 13th step .. and so far the info has been accurate.. thx again!

So, if you start it on one class, you have to do it on that class before going to do it for another? Completely needs to be changed. We should be allowed to abandon (some of us switched classes).

You can begin the quest for another job already, but you will lose all progress you've made on the current job's relic.
