Final Fantasy XIV guide - How to unlock the Manderville relic weapon

A powerful Relic weapon can be created in every Final Fantasy XIV expansion. At some point or another in the expansion’s life cycle, this quest chain will begin and typically has several parts. While the steps vary, the ultimate creation is always the most powerful weapon in the expansion.

The best part is that you can do this in as many combat classes as you want in Final Fantasy XIV. Traditionally, the beginning step will be easier for subsequent classes after completing it the first time.

You also do not need to complete the previous expansion’s weapons, making it a very accessible part of the game. Here is everything you need to know about beginning the Final Fantasy XIV relic weapon quest for Endwalker - The Manderville weapons!

How to begin creating the best Final Fantasy XIV weapon for Endwalker

The Manderville weapon quest chain is a level 90 quest series released in 6.25 of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Unfortunately, this is also a quest chain that people can completely miss if they haven’t done the prerequisite for it.

To start this quest chain, you must complete all Hildibrand side quests. Patch 6.25 introduced a few more Hildibrand quests in the “Somehow Even Further Hildibrand” quest chain. It unlocks after you complete every other Hildibrand quest. You must also have completed the Main Story Quest, “Endwalker.”

6.25 Hildibrand quest in Endwalker

• Location: Radz-at-Han (X: 11.8, Y: 11.2)
• Quest Requirement: A Soulful Reunion
• Level: 90

Steps for Make It a Manderville

• Complete all Hildibrand quests
• Speak to Manderville Manservant in Radz-At-Han
• Speak to Jubrunnah
• Buy 3 Manderium Meteorite
• Turn in quest

This is a very short couple of quests and requires no combat. You’ll talk to a few NPCs, travel to the Moon, and explore there a bit. After completing the Hildibrand quests, you’ll unlock the quest Make It a Manderville in Radz-At-Han (X: 11.8, Y: 11.2) from the House Manderville Manservant.

Important note: Take this quest as the class you intend to get the weapon for. Swapping classes will halt your progress.

Final Fantasy XIV’s first step for the relic weapon is a very easy one. After taking on this quest, you’ll speak to Jubrunnah in Radz-At-Han (X: 12.2, Y: 10.9). The next important step is to acquire 3 pieces of Manderium Meteorite from them. It costs 500 Tomes of Casuality. The grand total then is 1500 Tomes of Casuality. Completing this will unlock your Manderville Relic Weapon.

That’s it! Now you have a shiny new weapon, which is ilevel 615. Make sure not to destroy this weapon, as you will need it when upgrading the relic weapon in future Final Fantasy XIV patches.

If you want to complete this for other classes, simply swap jobs, head back to the House Manderville Artisan next to Gerolt in the same area (X: 12.0, Y: 7.2), and take on the quest Make Another Manderville. You will simply need to bring him 3 more Manderium Meteorite pieces.

Phase 2 of Manderville Relic Weapon in Final Fantasy XIV

In 6.35 of Final Fantasy XIV’s Endwalker expansion, the next phase of the Manderville Relic Weapon was unlocked. It’s a relatively straightforward process, and, like the previous quest chain, you will need 1500 Tomes of Casuality. If you do not have those - as I didn’t when I worked on this quest - you will want to farm those first.

However, to complete this, you must first be up to date on all of the Manderville quests. That includes the two that were released in this update. After you’ve done this and defeated Suprae-Lugae as Godbert, head back to Radz-at-Han (X: 11.8, Y: 11.2) and speak to the smith.

In update 6.4 of Final Fantasy XIV added a new step to the Manderville Relic Weapon - of course after you’ve completed the latest Hildibrand quests. Once you’re caught up, you can begin work on the Item Level 630 “Amazing Manderville Weapon” of your class of choice.

After you undertake the quest in the same spot as always, you must acquire Three Complementary Chondrites. Like the Meteorite, you need to purchase them from Jubrunnah (X: 12.2, Y: 10.9) in Radz-at-Han’s Aetherite Plaza. The cost is the same - 500 Tomes of Casuality each, and you need 3 of them.

The grand total is 1500 Tomes of Casuality, and it should only take 2-3 days to get them all, depending on how much farming you’ve already done. Success grants you the next item. So far, the quests have been very simple. This could change in the future, but the Manderville Relic Weapon has been the easiest relic weapon to unlock in FFXIV’s history.

Phase 4 of Manderville Relic Weapon in Final Fantasy XIV

In update 6.45 of Final Fantasy XIV, the next step for the Manderville Relic Weapon was revealed. As is tradition, you must be updated on your Hildibrand quests. The quests released in this update of FFXIV are very short, thankfully. Once you have the Pu-Pu pet, you’re done and can head to the forgemaster once again.

After undertaking the quest and heading to the local eatery in Final Fantasy XIV, you will be tasked with purchasing 3 Amplifying Achondrite. You can probably already guess the cost - 500 Tomes of Casuality, with a 1,500 total cost. Doing this will net you your next weapon. These are also purchased from Jubrunnah (X: 12.2, Y: 10.9) in Radz-at-Han, in the Aetherite Plaza.

It’s currently being said that the next update for this weapon will be update 4.55, but only time will tell on that. Thankfully, it’s simple to farm up Tomes of Casuality. Simply doing your Roulettes for two or three days should get you enough to what you need for the latest weapon.

Phase 5 of Manderville Relic Weapon in Final Fantasy XIV

As of Patch 6.55 Part 2, released in January 2024, you can finish your Manderville Relic Weapon in Final Fantasy XIV. This will require you to be up-to-date on the Manderville quests as well before you can even get started on the weapon itself. In order to begin the next quest, Resonating With Perfection, you need to have completed the following tasks:

• Quest: Gentleman at Heart (6.55 update)
• Quest: A Spirited Reforging (6.45 update)
• Disciple of War or Magic level 90

This all begins with Of Duplicity and Duplication as a part of the Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures questline. The quests you do for this are quite easy and just require some traveling around. However, they will eventually unlock a new trial for you to complete: Asura (The Gilded Araya).

It’s recommended to be item level 625+ for this, and of course, you have to be level 90 on a Disciple of War or Magic character class. This is a challenging trial, filled with movement mechanics, but it’s far from impossible. Completing this will give you access to Resonating With Perfection, found at coordinates (12.0, 7.1) in Radz-at-Han. After watching a cutscene, it will be time to get to work.

However, just like the previous versions, you’re farming Tomestones of Causality for a new item. This time, you need 3 Cosmic Crystallite. They’re from the same vendor in Radz-at-Han (Jubrunnah) and still cost 500 Tomestones of Causality. It’s not a terribly difficult grind, especially if you log in during peak hours.

You can easily grind these out in two days or so, depending on how aggressive you are in doing your Daily Duty Roulettes in Final Fantasy XIV. I typically focus on Normal Alliance, Expert Dungeon, Trial, Level 90 Dungeon, and 50/60/70/80 Dungeon. Those tend to be the fastest queues and completion times for me. Once those are done, I’ll go for PVP or whatever else is left.

Another way to make this a little bit faster in Final Fantasy XIV is to open the Duty Finder Settings and ensure you’ve clicked “Join party in progress”. If you’re lucky, you’ll join a group that’s nearly done. Farm up all three of these Crystallite over the course of a couple of days and return to the quest giver. Watch the next cutscene, and revel in the completed Relic weapon.

These new, shiny forms of the Manderville Relic Weapon in Final Fantasy XIV have a very sharp, almost futuristic look. They look like they belong in the Solution Nine area that will be available in the Dawntrail expansion, coming later this year.

But what are the Tomes of Casuality? They were introduced back in patch 6.05 and are one of the many currencies in Final Fantasy XIV. The best way to farm these is by doing Daily Expert Roulettes and the various Hunts. In general, Level 90 Dungeons, Trials, and Raids all drop them, so do these to farm Tomes of Casuality.

In future patches, more steps for this Relic weapon will come to light, so keep it tuned to Sportskeeda for all details as they come to light.
