Relic weapons are generally one of if not the most powerful weapons available during any given patch.

The questlines generally involve significant time investment but do not require players to run high difficulty content, making them completable by even casual players. With the free trial of the game expanded to include the first expansion Heavensward, many more fans of the genre are flocking to the game to try it out. As the patch cycle for each release progresses, the questlines continue allowing players to continuously upgrade the weapon before reaching a final stage in the final patch before the next expansion. Final Fantasy XIV is the rising game in the MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game) genre. Identified by the purple background on their icons, these weapons are acquired through dedicated max-level questlines.

Each release has brought with it a group of weapons colloquially known as 'Relic Weapons', named for the first such batch of weapons from the original release and A Realm Reborn.
