Relic Weapons are sixteen mysterious, high-delay, low-damage weapons obtained through participating in various runs into Dynamis. Admittedly, "Relic Weapon" is sort of a catch-all term; A Relic Horn and 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.
Most base Relic Weapons are prefixed with the name "Relic" and dropped by mobs in one of the four initially available Dynamis areas: Dynamis - Bastok, Dynamis - San d'Oria, Dynamis - Windurst and Dynamis - Jeuno.
Each base Relic Weapon can be upgraded four times. 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 wait 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:
First Stage:
Second Stage:
Third Stage:
Fourth Stage:
Fifth Stage:
Listed 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:
Stage 1 > Stage 2
Stage 2 > Stage 3
Stage 3 > Stage 4
Stage 4 > Stage 5
