A Final Fantasy 14 fan has proven themselves to be a true completionist by collecting every combat Relic Weapon available in the critically-acclaimed MMORPG right now. With each of these weapons requiring tons of grinding to unlock, this feat of dedication in Final Fantasy 14 took months to complete.
Redditor and Final Fantasy 14 fan Elementastic recently showed proof of their deeds in a recent post on the FF14 subreddit. In the post, they showed a screenshot of the dozens of Relic Weapons they had collected displayed in their Final Fantasy 14 Chocobo Saddlebag and Armory Chest.
There have been five total Relic Weapon questlines in Final Fantasy 14: one in A Realm Reborn, and another in each subsequent expansion, including Endwalker’s ongoing Manderville Relic Weapon quest chain. With 19 jobs having been released across the various expansions, Elementastic had to collect 74 different Relic Weapons–79 including the Paladin job’s shields. Their arsenal of legendary weapons would impress even Gilgamesh, Final Fantasy’s famous world-hopping weaponmaster.
Relic Weapon quests in Final Fantasy 14 are a grind-filled staple found in every expansion. Each Relic Weapon can usually be acquired relatively easily but requires a lot of work to upgrade it to its final stage. These tasks range from collecting currencies and items from various corners of the game world to grinding certain duties and completing specific rare FATEs. Though Final Fantasy 14 often makes acquiring Relic Weapons from previous expansions easier over time, unlocking each one still takes a lot of work.
Elementastic’s fellow Final Fantasy 14 players were as impressed at their weapon collection as they were horrified by their dogged determination. As soon as they were done congratulating Elementastic, they begged them to take a break. Other fans shared their own journeys with Relic Weapon collecting and applauded Elementastic for not being driven insane by the sheer volume of tasks they had completed.
Thankfully, Elementastic still has a couple months before they need to get back to the Relic Weapon grind. Final Fantasy 14 is about to release Patch 6.3, titled Gods Revel, Lands Tremble. The patch is adding tons of new content, including Main Scenario quests, a new Trial and Dungeon, and the next leg of Endwalker’s Myths of the Realms raid. However, the next stage of the Manderville Relic Weapon questline doesn’t come until Patch 6.35, which players can likely expect in March or April. Though players don’t know what the next step of the quest will look like, Elementastic will no doubt be prepared to accomplish the tasks once they are available.
Final Fantasy 14 is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
