Relic Weapons
Created through Dynamis Currency, Relic Weapons are powerful high-damage and low-delay weapons, though costly to obtain. Once a weapon has been upgraded to the forth and final stage, a unique weapon skill becomes available to the player based on the weapon.

Further Upgrades
After completing the fourth stage, Relic Weapons can be further upgraded through their level 99 variants via the Trial of the Magians.
For initial Item Level 119 versions, a level 99 variant and 300 Pluton icon.png Plutons must be traded to Oboro in Port Jeuno at (E-6).
Aegis and Gjallarhorn lack 119 variants, being fully upgraded in their level 99 II forms.
For the completed Item Level 119 versions, an Item Level 119 variant and 10,000 Pluton icon.png Plutons must be traded to Oboro in Port Jeuno at (E-6).
119 variants possessing an Afterglow only require 1.

Category:Mythic Weapons
(Redirected from Mythic Weapon)
Mythic Weapons are upgraded versions of Vigil Weapons found during the Nyzul Isle Investigation.
The historical background for these weapons can be found at The Myriad Arms of Balrahn.

Mythic Acquisition
There are a series of quests one must complete in the pursuit of a Mythic Weapon.
Be forewarned that these are laborious tasks which will take a while to complete.

The Captain Mercenary Rank must be obtained first in order to start the Mythic Questline:
An Imperial Heist
Duties, Tasks, and Deeds
Forging a New Myth
Coming Full Circle
After this, Mythic Weapons can be further upgraded through their level 99 variants via the Trial of the Magians.
For initial Item Level 119 versions, a level 99 variant and 300 Beitetsu icon.png Beitetsus must be traded to Oboro in Port Jeuno at (E-6).
For the completed Item Level 119 versions, an Item Level 119 variant and 10,000 Beitetsu icon.png Beitetsus must be traded to Oboro in Port Jeuno at (E-6).
119 variants possessing an Afterglow only require 1 Beitetsu.

This is the kind of thing that myself as well as others I know would love to see come to FF XIV.

Those would be the 2 'relic' weapon lines from FF XI and each weapon based on the job has a unique weapon skill you gain while using them AND they were kept relevant by further upgrading them to keep with the level cap.

I also included the reforged 'artifact' armors that were also up gradable via quests.

Why can't something like this be brought into FF XIV? The level of satisfaction you get from building and upgrading unique gear like this is un measurable and adding in unique stats/traits/abilities makes them all the more better.

I do agree with that and would love to see something like that added but that would also mean that ffxiv or more the community needs to accept different play styles, due to the fact that every Job would play differently with different builds/unique stats & traits, and that's not happening anytime soon. Therefore adding your idea as example to the game, would just cause more problems as it stands right now, then it actually would solve anything, especially if it would also be rng based (knowing SE since they love RNGesus soooo much) on top of that.

GOD YES!!!! How I wish SE would do that here, the people here may actually understand what an actual grind is and come to terms on how easy they have it here on FFXIV. Then again If they did people would complain and would be a nerfed , people would rage quit it's too hard, or not enough people would not help -.-.

You get what it is I'm getting at here with this!!! From the sounds of things you've built the relic's and mythic's in ff XI and yea for them to make the relic quest lines in XIV like the ones in XI I would have to say probably about 70% of the ppl that have built the relics in XIV would complain that its too hard and too long to build a relic.

All I am saying is for them to add more and bump both the zodiac and anima relics up with updated quests to keep both weapons relevant for new content and maybe add something more 'special' over other easier to get weapons like adding 'boosts "this" ability/trait/spell by x%' still make it 'easy' for those that wouldn't be cut out for the kind of work the ff XI relic and mythic weapons took to build.

They could even take it a bit farther by adding in reforged artifact armor quests to boost the lv 50 artifact armor up to the current/new level cap and maybe adding in some customization for stats for those.

Personally I've found the zodiac and anima relic quest lines a walk in the park and easily done even before they got nerfed compared to the ones in ff XI
