lvl 50 relic replicas

[Hugedeal]

HI all, i am trying to buy my lvl 50 repliace of my zeta weapon from Drake in Hyrstmill, and when i try to repurchase a replica he says i need to have a true zodiac weapon with me and all that, problem is i already finished the quest i alrdy got rid of the relic, and i have managed to purchase several steps of the relic without having my zeta with me before, but for some reason it is not letting me purchase and yes before i get someone asking, i have finished ALL OF THE QUEST of the lvl 50 relic finished all of it, but drake wont still sell me it, any1 having the same issue?

I have a similar problem. I have completed Whm Pld Blm Monk War Nin for the ARR relics and i only have the option to purchase the replicas for Whm Pld Blm Monk. I thought this was due to still having the original relics for those 2 classes as i had turned in the others for the HW relic crystals. So since i had the originals still i discarded them thinking it would open up the option of purchasing the replicas but it did not and now i have a bug ticket in hoping to get a GM to either give me back my Nin and War relics or to fix the NPC to offer the replicas. I have checked Gerault and he does not allow me to take up the Nin or War quest again since i have completed them. I took a screenshot showing the system msg where i discarded the weapons luckily since the ARR relics do not have achievements tied to them like the HW or beyond relics. hope this discord image works.

I am sorry to say, throwing away the completed relic is exactly the problem. Since they are not tied to achievements like future relics are, the devs only implemented 2 ways for the game to check if you have completed a zodiac and thus being able to access the replicas.

The first is having it on you, either in your inventory, armoury chest or currently equipped. Maybe also chocobo bag, not too sure if that is counted.
The second is exchanging the completed zodiac for skipping the first step of a new anima weapon, which sets a permanent checkpoint flag for the replicas.
Any other method of getting rid of the relics will only lead to heartbreak. And SE support will only do 1 item restoration per account, so you might be forced to make a decision.

As for not being able to restart the relic, the very first stage of the relics, the ones you get from completing the original relic quests, are available from the calamity salvager.

That doesn't seem to make sense. All my relics were in my chocobo bag yet i could only not see the War and Nin option for replicas?

Just so that we are on the same page, are the relics you have in your chocobo bag your lvl60 anima weapons?

So I had all the relics/replicas in my choco bag. I took them out of the bag and put in my inv bag. Couldn't see the option for war/nin replicas. The War/Nin were the only non replicas of ARR relics i had in the Choco Bag.

If you mean you didn't move those two out into your main inventory AND couldn't see them in the list, surely that tells you that relics in the saddlebag are not seen as being in your inventory and you should try taking them out?

The saddlebag is not inventory and the game doesn't look there when checking your inventory. You can circumvent "unique item" limits by putting one copy in there.
