FFXIV relic weapons are the most powerful weapons in Final Fantasy XIV, but spend a lot of time on a few updates to get there, making them a true labor of love to complete. The first step in the Endwalker Relic weapon series, also known as Manderville Weapons, has been released. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to get a Manderville Relic weapon of your own.
Endwalker relic weapon prerequisite quests
To begin crafting the Endwalker relic weapon, you must first complete all other Hildibrand Manderville Quests. It may be a lot of quests, but trust us when we say it’s worth it – the Manderville questline is the funniest in the game and unlocks loads of outfits, minions, and Trials along the way. Every expansion in the game has its own starting point (except Shadowbringers, which doesn’t have any Manderville quests), so here’s where to find each chapter.
- A Realm Reborn – You will want to find the quest ‘Rise And Fall Of Gentlemen’ from a character named Wymond in Ul’Dah on The Steps of Nald. To accept A Realm Reborn, you must be at level 50 and have completed the main story.
- towards heaven – You can take the quest ‘A Gentleman Falls, Before Flies Flies’ from Nashu Mhakaracca in Ishgard in the Pillars half of the map. To begin this part of the questline, you must be at level 60, have completed the previous Hildibrand quests, and have completed the main Heavensward storyline.
- Storm Blood – In Kugane you will find the quest ‘A Hingan Tale: Nashu Goes East’ from an inconspicuous man. Once again you will have to complete the other Hildibrand quests, but this time you will need to be at level 70 and complete the Stormblood main campaign quests first.
- endwalker – The latest part of the Hildibrand questline can be found in Radz-at-Han near the main ether – Look for an Excited Teenager to start the ‘Sleeping Gentleman’ quest. To get it, you must be at level 90 and have completed the main Endwalker storyline and all other Hildibrand quests. Once you complete the ‘A Perfect Gentleman’ quest, you will be able to start the first phase of the Manderville Relic Quest.
