Category:Relic Weapons
Relic Weapon is a term given to the most powerful weapon, shield or instrument currently available on HorizonXI. Given their strength, they are also the most difficult and time consuming to obtain. All adventurers aspire to obtain a relic weapon but only a few will have what it take to ultimately prevail.
There are five stages to creating a relic weapon, starting with a base weapon, found as a drop in one of the main city dynamis zones. Adventurers may begin upgrading their relic weapon by speaking to the Goblin NPC Switchstix in Castle Zvahl Baileys. At each stage you will be asked for your relic weapon and a particular set of items to be able to perform the upgrade. A set amount of time must then pass before Switchstix can finish the work. They will also charge a commision, payable in Ancient Currency. No work will begin until this fee is paid.

This is a work in progress File:Completerelicweapons.jpg The completed Relic Weapons. Excluding Aegis Relic Weapons are sixteen mysterious, high-damage, low-delay weapons obtained through participating in various runs into Dynamis. Admittedly, "Relic Weapon" is sort of a catch-all term; a Relic Horn and a Relic Shield also exist. Given enough time and money, they can be upgraded into forms known to be the most powerful weapons of each type in the game. This upgrade process is most often very lengthy, and extremely expensive for the typical player. It requires a large amount of Ancient Currency, various crafted items (some requiring a high-level crafter), and certain Rare/Ex items only obtainable in Dynamis: Beaucedine and Dynamis: Xarcabard. This is such a serious and intense process that we have devoted an entire section below to what it really means to undertake this task. Most base Relic Weapons are prefixed with the name "Relic", and are dropped by mobs in one of the four initially available Dynamis areas: Dynamis: Bastok, Dynamis: San d'Oria, Dynamis: Windurst, and Dynamis: Jeuno. Like most items in Dynamis (including Relic Armor), the Relic Weapons can drop from any mob at any time. They do not necessarily drop from mobs with the corresponding job type. How to Obtain OneEach of the four initial areas has four base Relic Weapons that may only be dropped in that respective area:
The 5 StagesEach base Relic Weapon can be upgraded four times before Trial of the Magians. Three of these four upgrades are handled by a Goblin NPC named Switchstix, who can be found in Castle Zvahl Baileys. Each of these three upgrades requires that you simultaneously trade him your current-stage Relic Weapon along with whatever materials he asks for. Switchstix will then ask for his commission in Ancient Currency; this is a separate trade, and the upgrade process will not begin until he receives it. Your Relic Weapon and materials cannot be returned once traded. Furthermore, no other upgrades can be performed until the Ancient Currency commission has been traded to Switchstix. Time needed for the upgrade process varies by stage; when the waiting period is over, speak to Switchstix again to obtain your upgraded Relic Weapon. The specifics of this process can be found below. All Relic Weapons, in all stages and forms, are Level 75. The stages of each Relic Weapon can be generally described as follows:
How to UpgradeListed below are all the items and Ancient Currency fees necessary to upgrade each stage of each Relic Weapon. All weapons follow the same basic process. There is a certain amount of waiting to do for some steps, and some hardcore farming for others. This is the process, though:
Required IngredientsPolearm - Katana - Great Katana - Club - Staff - Marksmanship - Archery - Wind Instrument - Shield
