Final Fantasy XIV's first expansion, Heavensward, introduced the Anima Weapon Quest. This long questline was originally updated periodically through the course of the expansion and had you slowly upgrading an incredibly strong and impressive-looking weapon. Although there are bigger and better weapons to work towards now, you'll still want to eventually craft your own Anima Weapon, even if only for the epic design. Let's take a look at each quest in the chain, and what you have to do to complete your Anima Weapon.

A Note About Anima Weapons Before You Begin

Before you start the questline, let's go over some baseline information that will help down the road. First, crafting an Anima Weapon is not for the faint of heart. This quest will involve grinding and investing tons of time and materials into the process.

Additionally, the weapon you receive and upgrade will be level 60. Currently, these weapons are outdated, and should only be used for cosmetic purposes. This weapon will also be job-specific, and each step will have to be repeated if you want to craft an Anima Weapon for a second job.

Complete The Quest 'An Unexpected Proposal'

Rowena in Mor Dhona for Crafting and Gathering Collectibles

Your Anima Weapon journey will begin with the quest An Unexpected Proposal. Note that this quest does not have to be repeated for additional Anima Weapons.

  • Pre-requisites:
    • Complete the Main Scenario Quest 'Heavensward',
    • Reach level 60 for the job you will be undertaking the quest as.
  • NPC Location:
    • Rowena Dravania, Idyllshire (x:5.7, y:5.5)

To complete this quest, simply talk to Rowena in Idyllshire, then travel to the Alpha Quadrant in Azys Lla and speak to Ardashir.

Complete The Quest 'Soul Without Life'

Azys Lla
  • NPC Location:
    • Ardashir - Alpha Quadrant, Azys Lla (x:7, y:11)

This follow-on quest will task you with gathering an Astral and Umbral Nodule.

Tip: You can skip this quest by trading in a competed Zodiac Zeta Weapon for both Nodules.

If you followed the Relic Questline from A Realm Reborn, the Zodiac Zeta Weapon is the final, completed relic. If you don't trade a Zodiac Zeta Weapon in, you will have to gather elemental crystals from Heavensward zones (levels 51-60). Here's where you can find them:

Where To Find The Crystals For The Astral Nodule

Crystal Location
Luminous Wind Crystal The Sea of Clouds
Luminous Fire Crystal Azys Lla
Luminous Lightning Crystal The Churning Mists

Where To Find The Crystals For The Umbral Nodule

Crystal Location
Luminous Ice Crystal Coerthas Western Highlands
Luminous Earth Crystal The Dravanian Forelands
Luminous Water Crystal The Dravanian Hinterlands

In order to get a crystal to drop from a Fate, you will need to receive a gold rating. This step is RNG dependant, so expect to invest some time into grinding Fates if the drops aren't in your favor.

After you have gathered one crystal of each element, return to Ardashir in Azys Lla (x7, y11).

Rewards

  • 1447 gil
  • Animated Weapon

Complete The Quest 'Toughening Up'

Snowcloak dungeon for Toughening Up Anima Weapon Quest
  • NPC Location: Ardashir - Alpha Quadrant, Azys Lla (x:7, y:11)

This quest will require you to complete a total of ten dungeons with your Animated Weapon equipped. The dungeons must be completed in the following order:

  1. Snowcloak
  2. Sastasha (Hard)
  3. The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)
  4. Keeper of the Lake
  5. Wanderer's Palace (Hard)
  6. Amdapor Keep (Hard)
  7. Dusk Vigil
  8. Sohm Al
  9. The Aery
  10. The Vault

After completing The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard), Amdapor Keep, and The Vault, you will have to talk to Ardashir. He will appear next to you after you exit the dungeon the first two times. After you complete the tenth dungeon, you will have to go back to the Alpha Quadrant and speak to him again.

These dungeons can be completed in an undersized party. This means you can enter at your current level, and on your own if you wish, which will be especially useful if you are playing a DPS class so you don't have to wait for long queue times. If you're level 70 or above, you shouldn't have too much trouble doing these dungeons solo.

Additionally, while this quest requires you to equip your Animated Weapon to complete it, you only have to equip the weapon as you leave each dungeon. This means you can quickly run through the dungeon with your best weapon, then switch before you leave the dungeon.

Rewards

  • 868 gil
  • Awoken Weapon

You can gather the five Aether Oils using both methods. If you don't want to spend your tomestones, the weekly quest is the better option. Or, if you want to get this quest over with as soon as possible, you can simply buy them for a total of 1750 Tomestones of Poetics.

You can deliver any of the items on the left to obtain the Crystal Sands you need. If you have a lot of Leve Allowances piled up, you can undertake Heavensward Levequests to try to get Amber-encased Vilekin. The method is simple, just follow the steps below:

  1. Accept the levequest and go to the location
  2. Start the levequest
  3. Fly around and look for a chest
    1. If you find a chest, open it for one Amber-encased Vilekin
    2. If you don't find a chest, proceed to step four
  4. Abandon the levequest
  5. Repeat steps two to four

Using this method, you can quickly find Amber-encased Vilekins to turn into Crystal Sand.

The best method for obtaining Crystal Sands is to grind Yellow Crafters' Scrips and trade them for Rowena's Tokens. However, this only works if you have a crafter leveled to at least level 50.

Rewards

Sharpened Anima Weapon

Complete 'Born Again Anima'

Sohm Al (Hard) Dungeon in Dravania for Born Again Anima Weapon quest
  • NPC Location: Ardashir - Alpha Quadrant, Azys Lla (x:7, y:11)

This quest will start with Ardashir asking you to complete three dungeons as the job you are currently making the Anima Weapon for. These dungeons are as follows:

  1. Sohm Al (Hard)
  2. The Great Gubal Library (Hard)
  3. The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard)

After completing these dungeons, you will need to speak to two NPCs in either order

  • Speak to the Processing Node and complete the quest 'Some Assembly Required'
  • Speak to the Verification Node and gather Aetheric Density for your weapon

Some Assembly Required

To complete this subquest, you will need to gather 15 pneumite. This item can be obtained in the following ways:

  • Purchase for 100 Tomestones of Poetics from Hismena in Idyllshire (x5.8, y5.3)
  • Purchase for 4000 Grand Company Seals from your Grand Company's HQ
  • Obtain through a random chest drop from a Timeworn Dragonskin Map

After completing this quest, you will be rewarded with the Newborn Soulstone, which you will need after you finish gathering Aetheric Density.

Aetheric Density

Gathering aetheric density for Sharpened Axe of the Blood Emperor

Gathering Aetheric Density will involve you filling up a special meter with points that are obtained from various duties. You will need to have your Anima Weapon equipped when completing all of the activities below in order to receive Aetheric Density. You can undertake any of the following to fill the meter:

  • Heavensward Fates, Hard and Extreme Trials, Dungeons, and Raids (8 and 24-player)
  • A Realm Reborn Dungeons (level 50)

The best way to finish this step is to join a farming group and complete Alexander Savage Raids. Usually, people choose to do A1S or A9S, as they are the fastest with an undersized party.

If you don't want to do this step in a group, you can always run level 50 dungeons like Huakke Manor (Hard), Amdapor Keep (Hard), or Brayflox Longstop (Hard). Of course, you can run these in an undersized party as a level 80 solo player. Once you get the hang of running these dungeons, you should be able to clear them in around five minutes. Just be sure to have your Anima Weapon equipped by the end or you won't gain Aetheric Density.
