Zodiac Weapons The Next Step. (Findings)

[Kisshu]

Quick question. I know that you can buy the bombard cores at the GC before starting this quest, but when I checked merchant and mender at Forgotten Spring I couldn't find the Soldiery item there. Do you need to have the quest active in order to be able to buy the 1600 Soldiery items? This would suck because I was hoping to collect all items except dungeon drops while still farming lights.

Do you even Math?

Do you? How about grammar?

Sorry I had to XD

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I just did Aurum Vale on my 47, now 48, Paladin and I got the drop for the Zodiac quest. Confirmed you do not have to be even on a level 50 job to do these as long as the quest is active. This is actually kind of awesome.

This ^

Guys this encompasses everything that I can think of that the community has been asking for for so long. Crafters/gatherers have been wanting to be more relevant. We didn't want to do fates - no fates. We didn't want any more materia - no materia. We wanted to be able to use any class and still progress and not just our chosen class. We want better dps que times. Guys everyone just Q for everything on your tank if you want!

Also running dungeons right now is freaking ballin' awesome cuz everyone is uber geared and speed running everything like crazy. This is the most fun I've had in dungeons... ever. I for one think this is awesome and the best and most epic relic step yet. It requires a little of everything and that's awesome because it gets the most amount of people involved and after all this is an MMO ^^

Be resourceful you guys can do this! Make friends - help them and they will help you The only reason you would have to do all of this yourself is if you happened to disgust everyone on your entire server with your nasty attitude and negativity and now nobody wants to have anything to do with you :P My guess is for 99.99% of you that's not the case :3

Are you the guy that sells coil runs / extreme primals for "insane amounts of gil for ['five - eight minutes'] of their time?"

LMAO funny. I've never sold a run of anything in my life. Even when the leech tanks were out selling themselves to Ninja who paid gil for dungeon runs, I never participated.

I've read all of the requirements of this, and one thing irritates me all to hell. I'm fine with the RNG dungeons, and I am fine with buying the merchant items with Gil/Seals/Soldiery, but I am NOT fine with us now requiring to have desynth leveled or god awful amounts of money just to get a single item for the relic. The mats on my server alone are 2-6 mil each. 2-6 MILLION GIL EACH. For those of us who aren't rich or have leveled crafters, this quest is near-impossible for us.

Thank you, this is exactly what I have said in this thread as well. I'm done with the relic quest. I will not be wasting anymore time or gil on it.

Meanwhile, I'll be preparing my offerings and favors for the high-level gatherer/crafters in my FC. I refuse to do any of that stuff beyond crafting my meals and pots.

You can buy the 1600 Soldiery item at Mor Dhona, where you can buy Soldiery / Poetic Equip.

I'm also just farming light for my nexus and wanted to buy the 1600 soldiery item in MD. I wasn't able to see the item though. A friend with Nexus said he wasn't able to see it either until he initiated the new relic quest. Run ex primals with 7 experienced people and 1 non-cleared player to get the 100 sol tome bonus and you'll collect the soldiery tomes quick.

[BobbinT]

Btw, can anyone confirm if you need to do the quest all over again if you have more than 1 nexus? And what steps players do on 2nd nexus and so on?
