Jalzahn Daemir

Jalzahn is a non-player character in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. An alchemist from the distant land of Radz-at-Han, he had arrived at Hyrstmill in search of the legendary Gerolt. He is a central figure in the Relic Weapons questline.

Story
Jalzahn is first encountered once the player has upgraded a Relic Weapon to the Zenith stage. Gerolt complains about a foreign gentlement bothering him with questions he doesn't understand, and asks they talk to him instead. Jalzahn reveals he had developed the Thavnairan Mist that was used to polish the weapons into its Zenith stage, and expresses interesting in further awakening the relics into the likes used by the Zodiac Braves.

For the next step of power, he explains that the crystallizes essences known as Atma can be obtained to infuse the relic with new power. These cahn be obtained randomly by participating in FATEs in certain areas of Eorzea, each marked by a sign of the Zodiac. Once all twelve Atma are gathered, he will infuse them into the weapon to transform it into the Atma stage.

To continue empowering these relics as Zodiac Weapons, it is necessary to follow the steps of the Zodiac Braves. Unfortunately, he didn't think to bring any copies of the Trials of the Braves with him to Eorzea, so he suggests asking Rowena if she has any copies. Once each book is acquired, the objectives in each must be performed; at the conclusion of them, the stats on the Atma weapon will increase slightly. Completing all nine books enables Jalzahn to awaken the relic in its Animus stage.

For the fifth step, Jalzahn suggests consulting Mutamix Bubblypots on how materia might be used to push the relic even farther than the Animus vessel. A researcher at the Cauldron comes up with an experimental "Sphere Scroll" that transfixes materia into light waves using alexandrites to bypass typical restrictions on melding, and believes that Jalzahn may be able to infuse such a sphere scroll into an Animus relic. Once a Sphere Scroll with desired stats is prepared, Jalzahn will transform the weapon into the Novus stage.
