{{TOCRIGHT}}
Zodiac weapons are the upgraded versions of your [[Relic Weapon]]s obtained from [[A Relic Reborn]]. These weapons have the item level of 100. Players can start the Zodiac weapon questline by speaking to [[Gerolt]] in [[North Shroud]] (X 30,Y 20) and starting the [[quests|quest]] [[Up in Arms]].

*You need to have your [[Zenith Relic Weapon]] equipped when you speak to Gerolt to receive the quest.

After upgrading your Atma Zodiac Weapon into Animus Zodiac Weapon. Players can further upgrade Item level 100 Animus Weapon into Item level 110 Novus Weapon.

*'''Atma --> Animus --> Novus --> Nexus'''

==Upgrading Atma to Animus==
After upgrading your Zenith Relic Weapon into Atma. Players can slowly upgrade Atma Weapon into Animus Weapon by purchasing and completing 9 Books sold by [[G'jusana]] for 500 [[Allagan Tomestone of Soldiery]] each. Each book has various tasks such as kill monsters and completing [[dungeons]], [[FATE]]s and [[levequests]].

==Upgrading Animus to Novus==
Complete the quests [[Celestial Radiance]] and [[Star Light, Star Bright]]. Players will need to purchase 3 [[Superior Enchanted Ink]] at the cost of 500 Mythology Tomestones each (1500 total) from [[Rowena]]. Players will then give the 3 inks to [[Hubairtin]] in [[Central Thanalan]] (x23,y13) for a [[Sphere Scroll]].

Players will need to ''Infuse'' the Sphere Scroll 75 times to complete the it.

Each infusion requires 2 items: [[Materia]] and [[Alexandrite]]. Players can obtain Alexandrites by completing [[FATEs]] with animus weapons equipped (similar to Atma farming). Players can also obtain alexandrites with [[Mysterious Map]]s. Players can acquire mysterious maps by purchasing them with 800 Mythology Tomestones each from the [[Auriana]]. Players can also acquire them by completing the quest [[Morbid Motivation]] that asks the player to complete [[Duty Roulette|Expert Duty Roulette]]. Quest resets daily and each completion awards the player with one [[Mysterious Map]].

*Solving Mysterious Map is similar to solving other [[Treasure Hunt|Treasure Maps]]. Players will need the skills [[Decipher]] and [[Dig]].

*When the player fails mysterious map, the map disappears and no alexandrite is awarded.

===Melding Materia===
To infuse and upgrade the weapon's stats, players will use alexandrites as the catalyst to meld materia. Each successful meld infuses the stat of materia into the scroll, granting the it 1 point in the corresponding stat. Higher tier of materia will increase the likelihood of successful infusion. It will not give more than 1 stat point. While the player will likely lose the materia for unsuccessful melds, the player will not lose alexandrite. As the specific stats of the weapon increases, higher materia tier is needed for sucessful melds/upgrades.

*To complete the scroll, players will need 75 successful melds with 75 alexandrites total.

*Players will not need [[crafting]] skills to meld materia.

===Stats===
The weapons' 5 main stats ([[Vitality]], [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Intelligence]] and [[Mind]]) upgrade automatically.

Players can upgrade additional stats such as [[Piety]], [[Determination]], [[Accuracy]], [[Spell Speed]], [[Skill Speed]], [[Critical Hit Rate]] and [[Parry]] up to a total of 75 points. Accuracy, Spell Speed, Skill Speed, Critical Hit Rate and Parry cap at 44 points each. Piety caps at 33 points and Determination caps at 31 points.

==Upgrading Novus to Nexus==
Player needs to speak to [[Jalzahn]] in [[North Shroud]] (x29,y19) with her Novus Weapon equipped. After completing the [[Mmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics]] quest, player can speak to Jalzahn to choose the weapon to [[soulglaze]]. With the soulglazed Novus weapon equipped, player will earn "light" by completing [[dungeons]], [[trials]], [[FATEs]], [[Treasure Hunt]], [[Alexandrite|Alexandrite Maps]], [[The Wolves' Den]] and [[Frontlines]]. After gaining enough "light", the Novus weapon will transform into Nexus weapon.

*You can't get "light" from [[The Hunt]] or [[Guildhests]]??

Different activities give different amounts of "light". "Light" earned will appear in the chat log after completing the activity. Light levels are Feeble Light (least "light"), Gentle Light, Blinding Light, Brilliant Light and Newborn Star (most "light").
