Zodiac Weapons Checklist

There are a total of 10 Zodiac Weapons available in Final Fantasy XIV.
Relics are the end-game weapons for an expansion, with Zodiac Weapons being the best for A Realm Reborn (ARR). When completed, Zodiac Weapons are Level 50 and IL 135.
To begin your relic journey, take the quest “The Weaponsmith of Legend” from Nedrick Ironheart in Western Thanalan. (x12.0, y14.3) For any classes after, you can skip to the quest “A Relic Reborn”, given by Gerolt in North Shroud. (x30.3, y20.3)
If you plan on making ARR Relics for achievements alone, you only need to complete a single weapon, to the Zeta stage. The rest of the class achievements can be earned by doing the first step in the process, for each weapon.
The game does track completion for all weapons in another way, however. Giving away your completed Zodiac Weapon to advance the HW Anima Relic quest chain will trigger a hidden completion mark for ARR Relics. Doing this allows you to repurchase replicas from Drake in North Shroud. (x30.4, y20.2)
You can also buy replicas if you have the weapon with you. However, if you manually Discard an ARR Relic without trading it in during the Anima quest, you’ll lose access to Replicas and must start from the beginning. Be careful!
You can collect Materia easily by crafting some All-Class combat gear. Use this to gather from Legendary Folklore nodes and you’ll gain spiritbond very quickly. Spiritbond Potions can help with this, along with High Quality gear and any extra Materia added.
Weapon name progression: Relic > Zenith > Atma > Animus > Novus > Nexus > Zodiac > Zeta
