First of all, this is not a thread for complaining about the new relic weapon. There are enough threads about that already. This is more a thread about collecting ideas, which would make the new relic more attractive to every player. More like: "If you have the chance, how would your Anima weapon questline look like?"

In my opinion, it should be less grindy and a bit more challenging. Something fun and fresh but easy enough for everyone. Well, here are my ideas:


Step 1: Exploration!
FFXIV is beautifully designed. Its really a shame, to rush through Eorzea and miss so many beautifull places and characters.

Here is the idea: You get a kind of camera as a new key-item. Your goal is to activate this key-item and make 6 photos from specific places/characters. Those are seperated into 4 categories (World, Dungeon, Raid and NPC) with 3 goals each (12 in total). By making the right picture, you get a crystal, which can be traded for the new weapon. Of course, you can do this unsync, too.
For example: "Raid: Caduceus" or "Raid: Syrcus Tower Main Entrance" or "World: Dalamud Shards" or "Dungeon: Haukke Manor Window"


Step 2: Time Attack!
Since 3.X you have the chance to do Dungeons and Primals alone or unsync. You also can see the duration in your chatlog after completing a duty. Why not make use of it?

Here is the idea: 7 Low Level-Dungeons and 3 Primals must be beaten within a certain time limit. You can do this alone or with other players, but you have to finish it as a Level 60 Character.
For example: "Sastasha Normal within 15 Minutes" or "Beat Ifrit Normal within 5 Minutes"


Step 3: Challenge Mode!
Since Heavensward more and more players joining the FFXIV Community. But most of them dont know how to play their jobs (especially the new jobs) right, no matter if they are level 30 or 60. And it can be hard because no one tell them how.

Here is the idea: You can get 1 of 10 books with 3 goals each packed as a kind of tutorial. Each step is seperated in 3 difficulties (easy, normal, hard) and for completing them it will increase the stats of your weapon. You can do this in a special training room or anywhere else (dungeons, house, s.o.).
For example: "Use Fire II x3 and fill up your MP within 6 seconds completely" or "Reach 600 DPS on 3 targets within 10 seconds" or "Interrupt 'Voice of the dragon' with one of your skills".


What do you guys think? Do you have any ideas, too?
