Question About Turning In Zeta for Anima, and Replicas with Dyes

[dark494]

3.15 is almost here, and with it will come the next relic quests in the form of Anima. We already know that we'll have to turn in our zetas to move to the next stage (just like previous stages), and this brought up concerns about not being able to currently buy replicas to glamour our zetas after turning them in. My understanding, from this thread here is that the availability of a zeta replica will be addressed, at some point in the future? There are 2 questions I have regarding this:

1. When can we expect the zeta replicas to be available?
2. What if we paid money to dye them with metallic dyes from the cash shop? Will we get a refund, or a free metallic dye of the same color, or the replica will come with the correct dye already?

1. No one knows. Please look forward to it (TM)
2. I understand that you paid money for a completely optional cosmetic thing. Turning in your relic is also optional if you don't want to lose your paid-for dye.

Or you can take the hint when a question is directed at SE and the Community Reps, and not at people like you.

They are completely new weapons, different from zeta, so I think you won't lose the zeta.

Or so I heard, dang can't edit on phone.

No, it's been confirmed multiple times that people with Zeta's can turn them in to skip the first step of the Anima weapons.

LOL! What makes you so entitled to think that you would 'get your money back' for an entirely optional cosmetic item? No, if you turn in that Zeta with the rare dye then that rare dye is gone. No takesies backsies.

No, it's been confirmed multiple times that people with Zeta's can turn them in to skip the first step of the Anima weapons.

can you quote one of these "multiple" confirmations?

Just ask a GM to refund the item, I'm sure they know the answer

[dark494]

can you quote one of these "multiple" confirmations?

I did. Above, in the link to the Japanese forums where they said so. English community reps also confirmed it earlier today for the slow ones. Or you can also just look at the patch notes now, for the real slowpokes.
