NOTE: As of patch 3.57 these crafted items can be bought from your GC for 5k seals each - thanks /u/leiloni. You need 4 of each in NQ and they are 1* crafts. An example is picking up quest 1 on your PLD, whilst working on quest 3 for your WAR. This final phase is easy, you just need to do all of the (Hard)-mode trials available in ARR and Heavensward. 18 Singing Clusters are available weekly via, Additional Singing Cluster can be purchased from, Complete various activities in order to obtain. Forcing them to spend millions of gil. Pretty much alienated people who don't mastercraft. Finally buy / trade the remaining needed materials.
Then I died and went to hell. There are 3 quests that need to be completed in order, for each relic.
This quest is repeatable; it can be active for one job at any given time, but must be repeated for each. Below are the recipes for each item required. Above item level 50 these weapons are generally split into those that can be used by Arcanists and Summoners, and those that can be used by Scholars - there are some exceptions however, of books above level 50 that can be used by all three, and books which can only be used by a Summoner, such as its Relic Weapon.
Step 1: Soul without Life (FATEs) (iLevel 170), Step 2: Toughening Up (Dungeons) (iLevel 200), Step 3: Coming into Its Own (Grind) (iLevel 210), Acquiring "Unidentifiable" Items (aka The Trading Game), Gamer Escape: Gaming News, Reviews, Wikis, and Podcasts, https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/w/index.php?title=Category:Anima_Weapons&oldid=1432207, Rowena's Center for Cultural Promotion Quest, Heavensward dungeons, ARR lv 50 dungeons (exluding MSQ dungeons), Possible bonus from Alexander Creator (9-12) Savage raids, Return to Ardashir in Azys Lla and trade the nodules to complete the quest and receive an iLV170, Complete 10 Dungeons in a specific order on the quest-accepted job. If you wish to see what the relics look like, see HERE - Thanks to /u/Sorath84, This stage, added in patch 3.25, begins by speaking to Ardashir at Azys Lla (X: 7.4 Y: 11.5). BOTH tokens are required. Also wasn't it stated in an interview there'd be no materia this time because they didn't want the relic to be dependent on gil, 100 ALEXANDER RUNS, 100 POETICS AND LAWS, 10 BEAST TRIBE QUESTS, EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 2 YEARS, Do 10 alexander runs per day (individual wings) and it will take you about 68 days, assuming you spend all your law on the weapon.
Body and Soul - Just need to talk to a few people. All crafter specialisations are required to craft a complete set of items. This quest only needs to be completed once and the system will be unlocked permanently. These are Specialist crafts and the first row contains new crafts that have also been added. Below item level 50, these weapons can generally be used by either a Arcanist, Summoner or Scholar, although there are a few exceptions. Once you have acquired each of the crystals, meet Syndony at Mor Dhona (Balcony) and trade the crystals for the Nodules. But thanks for putting this together in a single post, i'm bookmarking! Amalj'aa Vendor - 3 Tokens (1 per lvl 48 quest), 3x Precision Gordian Bolt (1 per A1 kill), 3x Precision Gordian Lens (1 per A2 kill), 3x Precision Gordian Spring (1 per A3 kill), 3x Precision Gordian Shaft (1 per A4 kill), Moogle Vendor - 18 tokens (1 per quest normally, 3 per at max rank. This series of quests are pretty easy and a nice end to the relic quest chain. Got 2 of each specialist on average & it would be piss easy & cheap to make them. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. See HERE for images of the weapons, thanks to /u/Elyrisiu, 7: Born Again Anima, Some Assembly Required and Body and Soul, 8: Body and Soul, Words of Wisdom, Best Friends Forever.
