{{See also|Zodiac Weapons|Eurekan Weapons}}
{{TOCRIGHT}}
[[Anima Weapons]] are the level 60 [[Relic Weapons]] for [[Heavensward]]. First released in [[patch 3.15]], players '''do not''' need to complete the level 50 [[Relic Weapon]] or [[Zodiac Weapon]] quest chains to unlock the [[Anima Weapons/Quest|Anima Weapon quest chain]]. Players who have obtained the [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons]] will be able to skip the first step of Anima Weapon quest chain. This advantage is not [[job]] specific. For example, if players have obtained the [[WAR]] Zeta weapon they will still be able to skip while doing the [[DRK]] anima weapon.

Compared to [[ARR]]'s [[Zodiac Weapon]]s, the [[Heavensward]] relic steps are heavily based on items you can buy with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] and [[Grand Company]] {{Company seal}} [[Company Seal]]s. Players can spend excess currency in advance before starting this quest chain. '''However''', not ''all'' of the items are available for purchase before the quests have been started. After upgrading their Anima weapon to iLvl 230, players can buy [[glamour]] versions of past enhancement steps from the [[Restoration Node]].

'''Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic and collection purposes.''' Better weapons for the same player level include those that drop from raids and those that can be bought with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Poetics]].'''

{{Quote|[[Ardashir|A young researcher]] hailing from the Near East has come to [[Eorzea]] in search of aid. His field of study? Anima, an essence he considers to be a reflection of the soul. Through a chance encounter with the master craftsman [[Gerolt]], he and the legendary blacksmith have joined forces to create a weapon the likes of which the realm has never seen.| [[http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/86c483a5b15766c988ee8db15f4eda117b9d66e4 FFXIV Lodestone Patch 3.15 Notes]] }}

==Animated Weapons (iLvl 170)==
{{main|Animated Weapons/Quest}}
To unlock the quest chain, players need to be level 60 with a [[Disciple of War]] or [[Disciple of Magic]] and complete the [[Main Scenario Quest]] {{questlink|main|Heavensward (Quest)}}. You will then need to complete the one-time quest {{questlink|feature|An Unexpected Proposal}}. Afterwards you will need to complete {{questlink|repfeature|Soul without Life}} for each relic you wish to acquire. You will need to acquire an [[File:astral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Astral Nodule]][[Astral Nodule]] and an [[File:umbral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Umbral Nodule]][[Umbral Nodule]] from [[Syndony]] in [[Mor Dhona]](x22,y5). There are two options for how to do so:
* Farm FATEs in each of the six Heavensward zones for crystals. You need one type of crystal from each zone. The drop rate is high as of 2022, about one in two FATEs will drop a crystal, so the grind is not onerous.
** Collect a [[File:luminous wind crystal icon1.png|20px]][[Luminous Wind Crystal]] from [[The Sea of Clouds]], a [[File:luminous fire crystal icon1.png|20px]][[Luminous Fire Crystal]] from [[Azys Lla]], and a [[File:luminous lightning crystal icon1.png|20px]][[Luminous Lightning Crystal]] from [[The Churning Mists]] and turn in for an [[File:astral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Astral Nodule]][[Astral Nodule]].
** Collect a [[File:luminous ice crystal icon1.png|20px]][[Luminous Ice Crystal]] from [[Coerthas Western Highlands]], a [[File:luminous earth crystal icon1.png|20px]][[Luminous Earth Crystal]] from [[The Dravanian Forelands]], and a [[File:luminous water crystal icon1.png|20px]][[Luminous Water Crystal]] from [[The Dravanian Hinterlands]] and turn in for an [[File:umbral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Umbral Nodule]][[Umbral Nodule]].
* Turn in a [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons|Zodiac Zeta Weapon]] for an [[File:astral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Astral Nodule]][[Astral Nodule]] and [[File:umbral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Umbral Nodule]][[Umbral Nodule]]. '''This will cause you to lose the selected [[Zodiac Zeta Weapons|Zodiac Zeta Weapon]]!'''
Turn in the [[File:astral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Astral Nodule]][[Astral Nodule]] and [[File:umbral nodule icon1.png|20px|link=|Umbral Nodule]][[Umbral Nodule]] to [[Ardashir]] in [[Azys Lla]] (x7,y11) to complete the quest and receive the Animated weapon.

==Awoken Weapons (iLvl 200)==
{{main|Awoken Weapons/Quest}}
Awoken weapons have the same model as the basic ones, but with a colored glow.

You will need to complete {{questlink|repfeature|Toughening Up}} for each weapon you wish to upgrade. This quest requires you to complete 10 dungeons with the Animated weapon equipped. You need to have the weapon equipped as you click the exit portal after each dungeon, and the dungeons must be completed in the order given in the quest. High level players can solo the dungeons unsynced by using the Unrestricted Party option. The dungeons you will need to complete are as follows: {{questlink|dungeon|Snowcloak}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Sastasha (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Keeper of the Lake}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Wanderer's Palace (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Amdapor Keep (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Dusk Vigil}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Sohm Al}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Aery}}, and {{questlink|dungeon|The Vault}}. There will be 2 intermissions in which you have to talk to an NPC. After completing all 10 dungeons, turn in the quest to upgrade your weapon.

==Anima Weapons (iLvl 210)==
Anima weapons have a new model that does not glow.

{{main|Anima Weapons/Quest}}

Trade these items with [[Cristiana]] in [[Mor Dhona]] (21.4, 5.4) for the items you need to turn in to upgrade your weapon.

==Hyperconductive Anima Weapons (iLvl 230)==
{{main|Hyperconductive Anima Weapons/Quest}}
Hyperconductive Anima weapons have a glow and some special effects added to their model.

For {{questlink|repfeature|Finding Your Voice}}, simply buy 5x [[File:aether_oil_icon1.png|20px]][[Aether Oil]] from [[Sundry Splendors]] for {{tomestone|poetics|350}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] each ({{tomestone|poetics|1750}} total) and turn them in to complete the quest and upgrade your weapon.

You can also do {{questlink|repfeature|The Gift of the Archmagus}}, but this is far less efficient, as it requires you to run each of the three Crystal Tower alliance raids per [[File:aether_oil_icon1.png|20px]][[Aether Oil]], for 15 runs in total.

==Reconditioned Anima Weapons (iLvl 240)==
{{main|Reconditioned Anima Weapons/Quest}}
Reconditioned Anima weapons again have a new model.

This step is a bit more involved. For {{questlink|repfeature|A Dream Fulfilled}}, you will need to collect [[File:umbrite_icon1.png|20px]][[Umbrite]] and [[File:crystal_sand_icon1.png|20px]][[Crystal Sand]]. The exact amount will vary due to RNG, but will generally be 57x-60x of each. [[File:umbrite_icon1.png|20px]][[Umbrite]] can be purchased for {{tomestone|poetics|75}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] each (4275-4500 total), while [[File:crystal_sand_icon1.png|20px]][[Crystal Sand]] will require you to trade with [[Ulan]] in [[Idyllshire]] for certain items. Each trade grants 2 [[File:crystal_sand_icon1.png|20px]][[Crystal Sand]]. Most of the trade options are a poor deal, and some require items that are no longer obtainable.

The only recommended options are:
* 5x [[File:Blue_crafters_scrip_token_icon1.png|20px]][[Blue Crafters' Scrip Token]] ({{scrip|white crafter|125}} [[White Crafters' Scrip]] total) '''=''' 2 [[File:crystal_sand_icon1.png|20px]][[Crystal Sand]]
* 5x [[File:Blue_gatherers_scrip_token_icon1.png|20px]][[Blue Gatherers' Scrip Token]] ({{scrip|white gatherer|125}} [[White Gatherers' Scrip]] total) '''=''' 2 [[File:crystal_sand_icon1.png|20px]][[Crystal Sand]]
* 5x [[File:Superior_enchanted_ink_icon1.png|20px]][[Superior Enchanted Ink]] and 5x [[File:Thavnairian_mist_icon1.png|20px]][[Thavnairian Mist]] ({{tomestone|poetics|225}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] total) '''=''' 2 [[File:crystal_sand_icon1.png|20px]][[Crystal Sand]]

'''Note:''' depending on the economy when you are doing this, primal parts might be a very efficient way to obtain the sand. Make sure to check the market board.

See [[Reconditioned Anima Weapons/Quest]] for other trade options and further details.

Once you have acquired the items, talk to Ulan to create Refined Crystal Sand and upgrade the stats on your weapon. Once the step is complete, you can turn in the quest and upgrade your weapon.

==Sharpened Anima Weapons (iLvl 260)==
{{main|Sharpened Anima Weapons/Quest}}
Sharpened Anima Weapons are, you guessed it, the same as before but glowier.

For {{questlink|repfeature|Future Proof}} you need to collect and turn in 50 [[File:singing_cluster_icon1.png|20px]][[Singing Cluster]]s. You can get these from the following sources:
* Purchase from [[Sundry Splendors]] for {{tomestone|poetics|40}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] each, or {{tomestone|poetics|2000}} total.
* 1x from the Daily Quest {{questlink|repfeature|Cut from a Different Cloth}}, which requires you to run {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Level 50/60/70/80 Dungeons}}.
* 18x from the Weekly Quest {{questlink|repfeature|Seeking Inspiration}}, which requires you to run {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Leveling}} three times.

==Complete Anima Weapons (iLvl 270)==
{{main|Complete Anima Weapons/Quest}}
Complete Anima weapons change their model yet another time, but this time they already come with their built-in light show.

This is one of the more grindy steps. Pick up the quest {{questlink|repfeature|Born Again Anima}}. First you will need to complete the three dungeons {{questlink|dungeon|Sohm Al (Hard)}}, {{questlink|dungeon|The Great Gubal Library (Hard)}}, and {{questlink|dungeon|The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard)}}. These can be done in any order.

Next, you will need to farm aetheric density. This is the main grind. You can earn aetheric density by running a variety of Heavensward activities, including FATEs, dungeons, trials, and raids with your weapon equipped. The most efficient method is generally considered to be to assemble a few max-level teammates and repeatedly farm {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Eyes of the Creator (Savage)}} (A9S) unsynced. Your progress may be viewed using the [[Enhanced Anima Glass]]. Talk to the [[Verification Node]] after completing the grind.

You will also need to acquire a [[File:newborn_soulstone_icon1.png|20px]][[Newborn Soulstone]] via {{questlink|repfeature|Some Assembly Required}}, which requires you to collect and turn in 15 [[File:pneumite_icon1.png|20px]][[Pneumite]], which can be purchased from [[Sundry Splendors]] for {{tomestone|poetics|100}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]] each ({{tomestone|poetics|1500}} total) or from your Grand Company quartermaster for {{company seal|4000}} [[Company Seal]]s each ({{company seal|60000}} total).

Once these steps are complete, turn in the quest to upgrade your weapon.

==Lux Anima Weapons (iLvl 275)==
{{main|Lux Anima Weapons/Quest}}
Lux Anima Weapons are the final form of this weapon series. They use the same model as the previous ones but now with very showy special effects.

You will need to complete the one-time quests {{questlink|feature|Body and Soul}} and {{questlink|feature|Words of Wisdom}}. Afterwards, for {{questlink|repfeature|Best Friends Forever}} you will need to complete 12 trials, which come in 4 groups. The groups have to completed in a specific order, but trials within a given group can be completed in any order. The trials are as follows:
* Step 1: {{questlink|trial|Bowl of Embers (Hard)}}, {{questlink|trial|The Howling Eye (Hard)}}, {{questlink|trial|The Navel (Hard)}}
* Step 2: {{questlink|trial|Thornmarch (Hard)}}, {{questlink|trial|The Whorleater (Hard)}}, {{questlink|trial|The Striking Tree (Hard)}}, {{questlink|trial|Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Hard)}}
* Step 3: {{questlink|trial|Thok ast Thok (Hard)}}, {{questlink|trial|The Limitless Blue (Hard)}}
* Step 4: {{questlink|trial|Containment Bay S1T7}}, {{questlink|trial|Containment Bay P1T6}}, {{questlink|trial|Containment Bay Z1T9}}

You will also need to purchase 1 bottle of [[File:archaic_enchanted_ink_icon1.png|20px]][[Archaic Enchanted Ink]] from [[Sundry Splendors]] for {{tomestone|poetics|500}} [[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].

After completing the trials and purchasing the [[File:archaic_enchanted_ink_icon1.png|20px]][[Archaic Enchanted Ink]], turn in the quest to complete the final stage of your weapon!

==Glamour==

You can manually glamour your current weapon with the appearance of your Anima relic weapon (at it current state) if you have a [[Glamour Prism]] and the Anima weapon in your bags.

You can't put your anima relic weapon in [[Glamour Dressers]] but you can use replicas that became available after Gerolt introduces you to a "Restoration Node". Replicas became available gradually as you move through stages.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] [[Regula van Hydrus]]===

* Stuns the tank and follows up with a high damage attack. Heal as necessary.

* Summons turrets every phase swap, with one additional turret per swap. Turrets self-destruct if not killed in time, causing room-wide damage.
** Magitek Turret Is target a random party member with a visible line and will continuously attack them.
** Magitek Turret IIs target random party members with circle AoEs.

* After switching to Phase 2, he will move to the walls and repeatedly cast '''Magitek Slug''', an easily dodged line AoE

* At the end of Phase 2 will cast '''Magitek Spread''', a large AoE that hits everywhere except a wide cone behind him.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] [[Harmachis]]===

Party members should remain on different sides of the boss when possible, only stacking up to mitigate Ballistic Missile.

*'''Weighing of the Heart''': Changes Forms, form will be announced but may be only a split second before the change. There is no cast or announcement prior to changing back to Sphinx.

*'''Sphinx form'''
**'''Riddle of the Sphinx''' is an easily dodged circle AoE.
**Will periodically attack the tank with a unmarked cone of '''Poison'''.

*'''Anti-Cobra form'''
**High damage tank buster (6000-8000+ damage)

*'''Anti-Naga form'''
**'''Petrifaction''' is a gaze attack that will cause 10 seconds of '''Petrification''' unless you are looking away from the boss.
**'''Circle of Flames''' is an instant AoE that will target multiple party members, stay spread out to avoid stacking damage.

*'''Anti-Machina form'''
**'''Ballistic Missile''' will target a party member with a high-damage missile, indicated by a small circle on the ground. Have one other party member stack on you to prevent the damage. More than two people sharing the impact will ''not'' prevent the damage.
**'''Gaseous Bomb''' is an instant cone AoE that will target a random party member.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] [[Lahabrea]] & [[Igeyorhm]]===

* There are two bosses active during the course of the fight. The inactive boss will cast '''End of Days''', a line AoE, while the party fights the other boss.

* Both bosses will periodically cast back to back AoEs, Blizzard Sphere which freezes, and Fire Sphere which deals damage. The AoEs will overlap greatly.

* When Lahabrea is active the floor will be frozen, causing party members to slip forward when attempting to walk. Lahabrea will then cast AoE's that do large damage--be very careful not to slip into AoEs in this phase.

* Abilities
** '''End of Days''': Line AoE cast by the inactive boss
** '''Dark Orb''': Basic attack, targets tank
** '''Sea of Pitch''': DoT circle AoE, targets all party members
** '''Blizzard Sphere''': Multiple circle AoEs that will cause '''Frozen''', always followed by '''Fire Sphere'''
** '''Fire Sphere''': Multiple circle AoEs, always preceded by '''Blizzard Sphere'''
** '''Dark Blizzard II''': Random circle AoEs
** '''Dark Fire II''': Random circle AoEs
** '''Permafrost''': Only cast by Igeyrohm while inactive, will apply '''Thin Ice''', causing party members to slip forward when attempting to walk

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] [[Ascian Prime]]===

* Dodge AoEs

* Boss will mark two players with a circular AoE with a safe area in the middle. All players should stack up to avoid taking damage.

* Boss will become immune and summon two orbs--Blizzard and Fire--that move towards him. As before, Blizzard will freeze the party if not broken and Fire will deal damage if not broken. Kill the Blizzard orb first in the event there is not enough DPS for both orbs.

* Last phase will spawn four dark portals around the room. The boss will begin casting '''Universal Manipulation''', which deals AoE damage and places a plethora of hazardous debuffs (think Bad Breath with stuns.) Players must jump into the portals before the cast bar completes to avoid Universal Manipulation. Some AoE healing is necessary as the portals place a DoT on each party member.

* At around 30%, the boss attaches orbs to all players. The orbs will follow their tethered players, and damage and apply a debuff if they hit. If a player pops another player's orb, they take the damage, but not the debuff. Therefore it is best for players to pop each other's orbs, minding that the tank and healer should move the least so they can maintain their roles. Players can run from the orbs to stall for time if they have any hazardous debuffs or are too low on HP to survive.

* Abilities
** '''Ancient Disruption''': Targeted circle AoEs
** '''Shadow Flare''': Causes room-wide damage
** '''Ancient Circle''': Two party members will be marked with circular AoEs, with a central safe area. Stack up to avoid damage.
** '''Annihilation''': Causes high room-wide damage
** '''Universal Manipulation''': Causes room-wide damage and five debuffs, can be avoided by stepping into one of the dark portals around the edge of the room before the cast completes.
*** The portal will cause '''Bleeding''' and '''Fetters''' until '''Universal Manipulation''' is complete.
** '''Chaos Sphere''': Four tethered orbs will appear and move towards the tethered party member. If they hit their target they will cause damage and debuffs. Players should pop other player's orbs to avoid the debuffs. They will still take damage.
** '''Entropic Flame''': Three line AoEs targeting random players.
