HOW TO GET YOUR REPLICA ZETA

[HulveinBlitz]

Frankly they either needed to:

1) Put that this quest was a requirement to purchasing replicas, both in the patch notes and in game

or

2) ALSO accept the item achievement for obtaining a Zeta (which gives you the "Z" title) - this seems more sensible, I mean you can't get this achievement without a Zeta!! I hope it was just overlooked.

Because doing the Vital Title quest was NOT REQUIRED for obtaining your Zeta.

I really hope we can get an official response.

You got one yesterday.

And i did not know and did not do the quest... and now i can not get my replica zeta...

[Maero]

I do not recall said Quest. I purchased replicas from his assistant yesterday

wth, so now my Zeta is gone or what T_T
Wouldn't it be hard so to tell us how we can purchase a replica (and that we need the original with us) in the same window when they asked us if we REALLY want to trade the Zeta?? *whine*
Honestly the Title should be enough - I can imagine a LOT of ppl traded theirs in thinking they could get the replica without it

EDIT: I googled a bit and found this screenshot

/shrug Longevity of the game when it was relevant ?

I don't agree that you should get all the replicas after you complete 1 relic though.

But anyway, you can use edit to bypass the text limit in the post.

In response to the OP, and to others who have put the time into getting their Zeta: Nothing can take this away from you, and unlike me, you got to experience your Zeta while it was the most powerful weapon in the game. I have so much admiration and envy for you guys.

I am doing the questline because it is interesting, and because I want at least a taste of what you guys went through, even if the grind has been nerfed. Doing the Animus upgrade which I believe has not been changed was without question the hardest part for me thus far. You couldn't get me in three dungeons a week, and I was doing three dungeons a night; I even soloed Aurum Vale @ iLv123 to test my solo ability, and because I have this OCD thing with avoiding exp points. It really pushed my anxiety limits to the test as a healer, and I took two nights away from the game to regather myself after the books were finished.

You can get a replica, sure. But all it says is I got this cool glowy weapon in the easiest manner possible. You examine someone and see that their Zeta version is not a replica, you KNOW they wen't through some shit, and a lot of it. As far as becoming obsolete so quickly being only iLv135; it's all about perspective. And from my perspective, I like to think that my Zeta continues to consume energy. It eats every codex proceeding it under the guise of a glamour!

You can't actually get a replica unless you've gotten the real thing, though...

About two months ago I decided that I wanted the sch arr relic so I did the whole thing, and from start to finish it took about 2-3 weeks. However, this was when I was level 60, had loads of free time, already had some tomes and gc seals, was able to craft everything myself, and had the gil to buy everything else that I needed.

Most of the steps only took a couple days. The worst part, by far, is still the waiting on fates for the animus step (believe it or not, this step has been nerfed too. It used to be 100 enemies per book, I think). My tip for the light farming is soloing Ifrit nm, since no one does light farming parties anymore. He gives very little light, but you don't need a party and can kill him in about 20 seconds.

It has been significantly nerfed, yes. I'm sure there are people who can get it done much faster, but for those who actually have lives outside of the game, it will still take some time, effort, and resources.

Oh, I misunderstood then, I think. I know you have to get it the first go, but I was under the impression you can just get replicas for other jobs if you have got a least one Zeta?
