    Relic Weapons (Atmas)

    Hi all,
    Is there anything else I should be saving up and spending my Soldiery's on besides left and right side gear? Any specific items, mats, etc.?
    I'm going to start my Relic quest probably next week. Just wondering if there's anything I'm going to need to prepare myself for.

    Edit: So from some more info i gathered...I need...
    9 Books = 4500 Soldiery's 3
    Inks = 750 Soldiery's 75
    Alexandrites/ Mysterious Maps = 30,00 Soldiery's?!! or 150,000 Allied Seals?!!
    Please someone tell me I'm wrong about the Alexandrites...

    Inks are only 150 Sol a piece. Confirmed this weekend as I just did my SMN relic.

    Unless there is a discount if it isn't your first Relic.

    Not sure about the Alex. I've heard they're psychotic like that.

    and also for the Novus part along with the Alexandrite you need to meld a materia with it and you have to use the proper grade level depending on how much you have added already to that stat. And on top of that the meld can fail -.- (you don't lose the alexandrite though small victories I guess...)

    Something about millions of gil.
    Yes I have heard of people spending lots of gil ( read someone spent around 40 mil on it ) I am still about halfway done with my Animus. When I am not working on that I just use my Book of Spades instead

    There's a daily quest to get a Mysterious Map by doing Expert Roulette, so doing that every day cuts down significantly on how many seals/tomes you spend on Alexandrites.

    FATEs also have a small chance to drop Alexandrites if you do them while equipped with your Animus (or Novus or Nexus). It's not a great primary source, but if you're just waiting on a queue or not doing anything else, might as well.

    But yes, the materia part is a pain. For most stats, you can put up to 44 on the scroll. That's 11 level 1 materia, 11 level 2, 11 level 3, 11 level 4. And that's assuming every meld is a success, which they won't be. On the bright side, you can redo the stats one at a time later with more Alexandrite. So if you can't afford all the Det (e.g.) you want right away, you can put something else on and replace it with Det later.

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.
