A Relic Reborn Walkthrough

[Korosu]

Has anyone who has gotten their relic who turned in an HQ compared the stats versus a NQ turn in? Since other aspects of the game give bonuses for HQ would be nice to confirm this does/does not.

Thanks for the response Magnesium, I'll just meld myself an HQ Scimitar to use and when I hit that point, try to turn it in. I'll post my findings. Worst case scenario I have to go back and synth an NQ, (the horror.)

I am 100% that turning in the HQ weapon (if possible) does not yield an enhanced version of the relic, for 2 reasons. There's no HQ in the dats other than the upgraded version, and it's absurdly easy to HQ the required item, if it were possible it would be pointless to ever turn in the NQ weapon. The rest of the quest is much more difficult than obtaining either an HQ or NQ version of this weapon.

Hey everyone. I have added the relic +1 section as well as a huge FAQ at the bottom. I think it now covers most thing that people want to know. My 'simple' guide has turned into a monster!

I helped some friends through Ifrit and Garuda. Garuda is really fun once you get the wind patterns down. We tried Titan a few times too and well .... my ping to servers is around 470 - 530 so trying to dodge was uh .... challenging. But it is also fun in a manic kind of way.

I can confirm the HQ version works. My brother accidentally had me put a battledance 2 on his sword, so I gave him my HQ double melded Aeolian Scimitar and he was able to turn it in for the quest.

Big thank you for confirming. It's been a popular question.
