Come, take up your Last Resort─born of stars' radiance, forged through heroes' might, and imbued with souls' blessing!
Jalzahn, upon receiving the Last Resort
The Zodiac Weapons (ゾディアックウェポン, Zodiakku Wepon?) are legendary weapons in Final Fantasy XIV. Said have been wielded by the Zodiac Braves in ages past, they can be reconstructed as an upgrade beyond the Nexus stage of Relic Weapons. They were added in Patch 2.45. They can further be upgraded to Zodiac Weapon Zeta as of Patch 2.51, but compared to earlier stages, the upgrade process is far less time-consuming. Zeta weapons can be used to quicken the first step of obtaining Anima Weapons.
Story
With the Relic Weapon seemingly at maximum capacity at the Nexus phase, Gerolt concludes the only solution is to create a new, stronger vessel in the image of the arms of the Zodiac Braves. Such an extraordinary task requires extraordinary materials: zodium to forge the vessel, a copy of the Book of Skylight to recreate the designs, a zodiac sphere scroll to hold the aetherial essence, and a flawless alexandrite to transfer the old Relic's accumulated soul energy.
Obtaining the Zodiac
The four materials required are obtained through four lengthy, concurrent sidequests. These quests require a number of materials purchased as well as obtaining items for completing high-level dungeons.
Zodiac Weapons
Note that the Zodiac Weapons inherit the secondary attributes from the Relic Weapon, and may still be altered with Sphere Scrolls.
Excalibur and Aegis Shield
Ages past, a wise and just king reigned over all Ilsabard. A blade such as this graced his scabbard in times of peace, and brought terror to his foes in times of strife! And his shield? A twin to the one you hold, unwavering, unyielding, unbreaking.

Etymology
zodiac is a circle of twelve 30° divisions of celestial longitude that are centered upon the ecliptic: the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year.
In both astrology and historical astronomy, theThe term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus, which comes from the Greek ζῳδιακὸς κύκλος (zōdiakos kyklos), meaning "circle of animals", as half of the signs of the classical Greek zodiac are represented as animals (besides two mythological hybrids).
