__NOTOC__
==Flavor Text==
Favored by Ravana, this spell subtly manipulates earth-aspected aether to draw metallic particles from nearby mineral deposits, then propels them forward in an expansive wave to pierce foes' flesh like shrapnel.

==Tips==
*Should generally be used when all 4 charges are available due to the increasing potency with each charge. Does a total of 1,400 potency with all 4 hits, which is also 350 potency per charge.

===Acquisition Tips===
*[[Furryfoot Kupli Kipp]] (White Mage Moogle) will cast Pom Cure on Puksi Piko the Shaggysong (Bard Moogle) after they have been sufficiently damaged or himself when below 10%hp; unsynced blue mages should take caution to not accidentally kill the archer moogle.

===Other Tips===
*It is recommended to only execute this action when {{aicon|Aetheric Mimicry|mimicking}} a healer.
*This action should be prioritized over {{aicon|White Wind}} for single-target healing, as it generates less enmity than {{aicon|White Wind}}.

Animus Zodiac Weapons/Quest

2026-01-04T19:16:24Z

JDash42: /* Trials of the Braves */ I was slightly wrong before about paladin needing only to equip the sword for the trials of the braves, it is dependent on the type of book, either for sword or for shield

{{Relic Weapon Quest
|npc = [[Jalzahn]]
|location = [[Hyrstmill]], [[North Shroud]] (x30,y19)
|steps=
Speak with [[Jalzahn]] with your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] equipped who will explain that in order to further enhance your weapon you need to recreate the valorous deeds of the Zodiac Braves, who were revered heroes in Thavnairian legend. These deeds are recorded in a collection of nine sacred texts called the “Trials of the Braves”. He will send you to [[Rowena]] in [[Revenant's Toll]] - who in turn will direct you to [[G'jusana]] who is nearby. After speaking to [[G'jusana]], the quest will move to your "completed quest log".

[[G'jusana]] will sell you one book at a time for {{tomestone|Poetics|100}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics]] each. Each book contains a series of tasks to complete: 10 sets of specific monsters to kill and 3 [[dungeons]], 3 [[FATEs]] and 3 [[levequests]] to complete. Once all the tasks are completed in one book, return to [[G'jusana]] to buy the next one. You must finish all the tasks in one book before completing the next - however you can complete the books in any order. Each book will improve a stat on your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]].

Once all nine books have been completed; return to [[Jalzahn]] along with your unequipped [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] and you will be rewarded your [[Animus Zodiac Weapon]].

===Books===
Each book belong to one of four categories. Each category improves a stat on your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] and each category is called a different name depending on the [[job]]. However, the books themselves and the tasks inside them remain the same regardless of your job.

''(For [[Paladin]]s: Paladins complete seven books for their [[Curtana Animus]] and two books for their [[Holy Shield Animus]].)''

===Notes===
*You can only ever own one book at a time. Each book is specific to a weapon and you must be equipped with the [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] you wish to enhance when making the purchase.
*Must equip the corresponding weapon in order for any completed task to be registered.
** Paladins do not need to equip their Atma Sword and Shield at the same time. They should equip the one corresponding to the specific book they are doing. This in turn means that paladins can use better equipment on the hand that is not being developed.
*Buying a second book will automatically dispose of the first one. If the first book has not been completed it will need to be redone.
* '''When working on your second weapon onwards, it is highly recommended to do the books in a specific order in parallel with the "[[Zodiac Braves Weapons/Quest|Zodiac Braves]]" subquests, as the two steps have a lot of overlap in required dungeons.''' This recommended book order is:
** Fall I → Earth I → Wind I → Fall II → Fire I → Fire II → Wind II → Netherfire I → Netherfall I

====For {{questlink|fate|FATEs}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Fates.png|right|thumb|FATEs in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*You can achieve bronze, and can even be dead, and still have the FATE count.
*Each map has a maximum number of [[FATEs]] available at any one time. Therefore you may need to clear other [[FATEs]] in order to get the one you need to spawn.
**Also, FATEs generally spawn in such a way that their blue circular areas don't overlap. Therefore, if a different FATE has spawned in the general area of the one you need, clear it out as soon as possible.
*Some [[FATEs]] will only spawn when triggered (either by talking to an NPC at the location or in a nearby location; or after the completion of a previous [[FATE]] as part of a chain). Examples:
**'''{{questlink|fate-defense|The Enmity of My Enemy}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} to be successfully completed first. {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} is triggered by talking to [[Mianne Thousandmalm]] at [[Larkscall]], [[East Shroud]] (x27,y21).
*** Note that only the imperial soldiers and the dogs count toward completion of {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} - the sylphs will be aggro'd to the imperial enemies, so avoiding the sylphs and letting them attack can allow for clearing the fate slightly faster.
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Breaching North Tidegate}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|Gauging North Tidegate}} to be successfully completed first
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Breaching South Tidegate}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|Gauging South Tidegate}} to be successfully completed first.
*** The North Tidegate FATEs seem to spawn the South Tidegate FATEs soon after completion, and vice versa. Therefore, if the wrong FATE chain is up, complete it and the other will probably spawn.
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Schism}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[Storm Private]] at [[Kobold Dig]], [[Outer La Noscea]] (x24,y16).
*** Note that completion is tied to the [[Kobold Toolbox]]es (crates), and then the boss [[59th Order Matriarch Go Zu]] that spawns after the crates are destroyed. The regular kobolds are not required to complete the fate. Following the NPCs and keeping them alive can speed up completion a bit.
**'''{{questlink|fate-escort|The Ceruleum Road}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[Wary Merchant]] at [[Camp Bluefog]], [[Northern Thanalan]] (x21,y29).
**'''{{questlink|fate-enemies|Tower of Power}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[House Haillenarte Guard]] at [[Boulder Downs]], [[Coerthas Central Highlands]] (x10,y28).
* '''{{questlink|fate-defense|Surprise}} at [[Zelma's Run]], [[Upper La Noscea]] (X:26.0, Y:18.0)''' - The FATE will automatically fail about a minute after spawning if no players are present, as the NPCs will be killed by the enemies. This FATE can be anticipated shortly before it spawns, as two Marauders (a male Roegadyn and a female Miqo'te) with Chocobos will spawn near Camp Bronze Lake and march towards the location of the FATE.
* '''{{questlink|fate-enemies|Air Supply}} at [[Ixali Logging Grounds]], [[North Shroud]] (X:19.0, Y:20.0)''' - Only the [[Airstone (Air Supply)|Airstone]]s (crates) and [[Ixali Swiftbeak]]s (which spawn when crates are attacked) will count towards completion. The other Ixali enemies and the dogs will not count. The FATE spawns with some NPCs that will attack the crates, so some of the Swiftbeaks may already be spawned when you arrive.
*It is generally recommended to seek out the FATEs first among all tasks in the book, since you may need to wait for them to spawn. Use the other book tasks as time-killers in the meantime.
*You can visit other worlds on your data center through the [[World Visit System]], or visit other data centers through [[Data Center Travel]], to check if the FATEs you need have spawned there. Note that visiting another world requires going to [[Ul'dah]], [[Limsa Lominsa]], or [[New Gridania]] and interacting with the aetheryte, while visiting another data center requires logging out and then right-clicking your character's name in the character select menu.
{{clear}}

====For {{questlink|dungeon|Dungeons}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Dungeons.png|right|thumb|Dungeons in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*Dungeons can be completed [[unsynced]].
*You must have your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] equipped for the final boss for it to count.<ref name=one>http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/155891-FAQ-Zoadiac-Weapons-You</ref> You can equip a stronger high-level weapon to make the dungeon go faster, but DON'T FORGET to re-equip your Atma weapon prior to engaging and killing the final boss, or else you'll have to re-run the entire dungeon to get credit.
** Paladins need Not equip Holy shield Atma when defeating the final boss of a dungeon.
*You must be alive when the final boss of the [[dungeon]] is killed. If you are dead, it will not count towards completion of the book.<ref name=one></ref>
*The [[Decaying Gourmand]] (first boss) in {{questlink|dungeon|The Lost City of Amdapor}} can be difficult to solo if your damage is low, due to its devour mechanic.
{{clear}}

====For {{questlink|levequest|Levequests}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Leves.png|right|thumb|Levequests in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*General [[levequests]] and Grand Company [[levequests]] are given out by two different NPCs at each location. Make sure you are talking to the correct one.
*'''Only a limited number of [[levequests]] are offered at any one time.''' You may need to complete one of the levequests in order to reveal the one you need.
**If you're low on allowances, completing a levequest without turning it in for a reward will refresh the list of available quests. You can also check other areas for any of the leves you need prior to completing the others you don't. '''Completing a levequest in ''any'' zone will reset the available leves everywhere.'''
**If you have a lot of allowances, holding onto several leves at once can help ensure you have access to the correct one. Levemetes offer leves from a set pool per area, but they cannot offer a leve you are currently holding.
***It is possible to hold more leves than a levemete offers at a time - for example, the Northern Thanalan levemete has a pool of 5 leves, offering 4 of them at a time, but it is possible for you to hold all 5 of his leves at once. Whenever the available leves are reset (by completing a leve from any levemete, or at daily reset), this levemete will randomly pick 4 leves from his pool to offer. If a leve in the final list is one you are already holding, then it will be hidden. This means that, if you collect all 4 of this levemete's leves, reset the leve list, and then come back, there is a chance that he has the 5th leve on offer for you to collect.
**The leves required per book per area are as follows:

</center>
*[[Levequests]] are only counted as "completed" when you collect the reward from the Levemete, and this is the only time where the game checks whether your Atma weapon is equipped. As such, it is possible to do the leve with another weapon (or another class altogether) and switch back to your Atma before collecting the rewards, and it will still count.
* Tips for specific leve types:
** '''For the "Necrologos" leves''' - Only the one in Coerthas Central Highlands requires killing enemies (and even then, they immediately respawn, so you can simply kill the same enemy repeatedly). For the leves in Mor Dhona and Northern Thanalan, the enemies cannot drop pages, so they can be ignored - just pick up the pages on the ground and kill enemies that spawn from the pages.
** '''For the "kill enemies for 5 minutes" leves''' - there are generally 2 common enemies that spawn in pairs together from the start of the leve and a rare enemy that will only start spawning paired with one of the common enemies starting exactly 1 minute after the leve has initiated, even if you haven't killed any of the common enemies up to that point. After at least one of each of the 3 types of enemies have been killed, you are not required to linger around the leve area - as long as you stay in the zone, you are free to fly around and kill enemies for other book objectives. You cannot level sync for FATEs while the leve is running, however.
** '''For "find the impostors" leves''' - you an skip the process of poking an enemy for an item, using the item to reveal impostors, and then killing the impostors - simply kill the enemies without checking, as impostors will be revealed after taking one hit of damage. There is no penalty for killing non-impostors.
{{clear}}

For enemies, click the book item links above for specific coordinates.

'''Closing notes:'''
*Your last book will still remain in your Key Item Inventory after completion. To remove it, simply return to [[G'jusana]] and select the Disposal option. Alternatively, drag it out of your Key Items inventory to discard it like any other item.
*This is also a good opportunity to train your [[Chocobo]] if you wish.

{{Relic Weapon Quest
|npc = [[Jalzahn]]
|location = [[Hyrstmill]], [[North Shroud]] (x30,y19)
|steps=
Speak with [[Jalzahn]] with your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] equipped who will explain that in order to further enhance your weapon you need to recreate the valorous deeds of the Zodiac Braves, who were revered heroes in Thavnairian legend. These deeds are recorded in a collection of nine sacred texts called the “Trials of the Braves”. He will send you to [[Rowena]] in [[Revenant's Toll]] - who in turn will direct you to [[G'jusana]] who is nearby. After speaking to [[G'jusana]], the quest will move to your "completed quest log".

[[G'jusana]] will sell you one book at a time for {{tomestone|Poetics|100}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics]] each. Each book contains a series of tasks to complete: 10 sets of specific monsters to kill and 3 [[dungeons]], 3 [[FATEs]] and 3 [[levequests]] to complete. Once all the tasks are completed in one book, return to [[G'jusana]] to buy the next one. You must finish all the tasks in one book before completing the next - however you can complete the books in any order. Each book will improve a stat on your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]].

Once all nine books have been completed; return to [[Jalzahn]] along with your unequipped [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] and you will be rewarded your [[Animus Zodiac Weapon]].

===Books===
Each book belong to one of four categories. Each category improves a stat on your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] and each category is called a different name depending on the [[job]]. However, the books themselves and the tasks inside them remain the same regardless of your job.

''(For [[Paladin]]s: Paladins complete seven books for their [[Curtana Animus]] and two books for their [[Holy Shield Animus]].)''

===Notes===
*You can only ever own one book at a time. Each book is specific to a weapon and you must be equipped with the [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] you wish to enhance when making the purchase.
*Must equip the corresponding weapon in order for any completed task to be registered.
** Paladins do not need to equip Holy Shield Atma for any of these tasks as only the sword counts. This in turn means that paladins can use a better shield in terms of ilvl and substats.
*Buying a second book will automatically dispose of the first one. If the first book has not been completed it will need to be redone.
* '''When working on your second weapon onwards, it is highly recommended to do the books in a specific order in parallel with the "[[Zodiac Braves Weapons/Quest|Zodiac Braves]]" subquests, as the two steps have a lot of overlap in required dungeons.''' This recommended book order is:
** Fall I → Earth I → Wind I → Fall II → Fire I → Fire II → Wind II → Netherfire I → Netherfall I

====For {{questlink|fate|FATEs}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Fates.png|right|thumb|FATEs in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*You can achieve bronze, and can even be dead, and still have the FATE count.
*Each map has a maximum number of [[FATEs]] available at any one time. Therefore you may need to clear other [[FATEs]] in order to get the one you need to spawn.
**Also, FATEs generally spawn in such a way that their blue circular areas don't overlap. Therefore, if a different FATE has spawned in the general area of the one you need, clear it out as soon as possible.
*Some [[FATEs]] will only spawn when triggered (either by talking to an NPC at the location or in a nearby location; or after the completion of a previous [[FATE]] as part of a chain). Examples:
**'''{{questlink|fate-defense|The Enmity of My Enemy}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} to be successfully completed first. {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} is triggered by talking to [[Mianne Thousandmalm]] at [[Larkscall]], [[East Shroud]] (x27,y21).
*** Note that only the imperial soldiers and the dogs count toward completion of {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} - the sylphs will be aggro'd to the imperial enemies, so avoiding the sylphs and letting them attack can allow for clearing the fate slightly faster.
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Breaching North Tidegate}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|Gauging North Tidegate}} to be successfully completed first
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Breaching South Tidegate}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|Gauging South Tidegate}} to be successfully completed first.
*** The North Tidegate FATEs seem to spawn the South Tidegate FATEs soon after completion, and vice versa. Therefore, if the wrong FATE chain is up, complete it and the other will probably spawn.
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Schism}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[Storm Private]] at [[Kobold Dig]], [[Outer La Noscea]] (x24,y16).
*** Note that completion is tied to the [[Kobold Toolbox]]es (crates), and then the boss [[59th Order Matriarch Go Zu]] that spawns after the crates are destroyed. The regular kobolds are not required to complete the fate. Following the NPCs and keeping them alive can speed up completion a bit.
**'''{{questlink|fate-escort|The Ceruleum Road}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[Wary Merchant]] at [[Camp Bluefog]], [[Northern Thanalan]] (x21,y29).
**'''{{questlink|fate-enemies|Tower of Power}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[House Haillenarte Guard]] at [[Boulder Downs]], [[Coerthas Central Highlands]] (x10,y28).
* '''{{questlink|fate-defense|Surprise}} at [[Zelma's Run]], [[Upper La Noscea]] (X:26.0, Y:18.0)''' - The FATE will automatically fail about a minute after spawning if no players are present, as the NPCs will be killed by the enemies. This FATE can be anticipated shortly before it spawns, as two Marauders (a male Roegadyn and a female Miqo'te) with Chocobos will spawn near Camp Bronze Lake and march towards the location of the FATE.
* '''{{questlink|fate-enemies|Air Supply}} at [[Ixali Logging Grounds]], [[North Shroud]] (X:19.0, Y:20.0)''' - Only the [[Airstone (Air Supply)|Airstone]]s (crates) and [[Ixali Swiftbeak]]s (which spawn when crates are attacked) will count towards completion. The other Ixali enemies and the dogs will not count. The FATE spawns with some NPCs that will attack the crates, so some of the Swiftbeaks may already be spawned when you arrive.
*It is generally recommended to seek out the FATEs first among all tasks in the book, since you may need to wait for them to spawn. Use the other book tasks as time-killers in the meantime.
*You can visit other worlds on your data center through the [[World Visit System]], or visit other data centers through [[Data Center Travel]], to check if the FATEs you need have spawned there. Note that visiting another world requires going to [[Ul'dah]], [[Limsa Lominsa]], or [[New Gridania]] and interacting with the aetheryte, while visiting another data center requires logging out and then right-clicking your character's name in the character select menu.
{{clear}}

====For {{questlink|dungeon|Dungeons}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Dungeons.png|right|thumb|Dungeons in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*Dungeons can be completed [[unsynced]].
*You must have your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] equipped for the final boss for it to count.<ref name=one>http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/155891-FAQ-Zoadiac-Weapons-You</ref> You can equip a stronger high-level weapon to make the dungeon go faster, but DON'T FORGET to re-equip your Atma weapon prior to engaging and killing the final boss, or else you'll have to re-run the entire dungeon to get credit.
** Paladins need Not equip Holy shield Atma when defeating the final boss of a dungeon.
*You must be alive when the final boss of the [[dungeon]] is killed. If you are dead, it will not count towards completion of the book.<ref name=one></ref>
*The [[Decaying Gourmand]] (first boss) in {{questlink|dungeon|The Lost City of Amdapor}} can be difficult to solo if your damage is low, due to its devour mechanic.
{{clear}}

====For {{questlink|levequest|Levequests}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Leves.png|right|thumb|Levequests in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*General [[levequests]] and Grand Company [[levequests]] are given out by two different NPCs at each location. Make sure you are talking to the correct one.
*'''Only a limited number of [[levequests]] are offered at any one time.''' You may need to complete one of the levequests in order to reveal the one you need.
**If you're low on allowances, completing a levequest without turning it in for a reward will refresh the list of available quests. You can also check other areas for any of the leves you need prior to completing the others you don't. '''Completing a levequest in ''any'' zone will reset the available leves everywhere.'''
**If you have a lot of allowances, holding onto several leves at once can help ensure you have access to the correct one. Levemetes offer leves from a set pool per area, but they cannot offer a leve you are currently holding.
***It is possible to hold more leves than a levemete offers at a time - for example, the Northern Thanalan levemete has a pool of 5 leves, offering 4 of them at a time, but it is possible for you to hold all 5 of his leves at once. Whenever the available leves are reset (by completing a leve from any levemete, or at daily reset), this levemete will randomly pick 4 leves from his pool to offer. If a leve in the final list is one you are already holding, then it will be hidden. This means that, if you collect all 4 of this levemete's leves, reset the leve list, and then come back, there is a chance that he has the 5th leve on offer for you to collect.
**The leves required per book per area are as follows:

*[[Levequests]] are only counted as "completed" when you collect the reward from the Levemete, and this is the only time where the game checks whether your Atma weapon is equipped. As such, it is possible to do the leve with another weapon (or another class altogether) and switch back to your Atma before collecting the rewards, and it will still count.
* Tips for specific leve types:
** '''For the "Necrologos" leves''' - Only the one in Coerthas Central Highlands requires killing enemies (and even then, they immediately respawn, so you can simply kill the same enemy repeatedly). For the leves in Mor Dhona and Northern Thanalan, the enemies cannot drop pages, so they can be ignored - just pick up the pages on the ground and kill enemies that spawn from the pages.
** '''For the "kill enemies for 5 minutes" leves''' - there are generally 2 common enemies that spawn in pairs together from the start of the leve and a rare enemy that will only start spawning paired with one of the common enemies starting exactly 1 minute after the leve has initiated, even if you haven't killed any of the common enemies up to that point. After at least one of each of the 3 types of enemies have been killed, you are not required to linger around the leve area - as long as you stay in the zone, you are free to fly around and kill enemies for other book objectives. You cannot level sync for FATEs while the leve is running, however.
** '''For "find the impostors" leves''' - you an skip the process of poking an enemy for an item, using the item to reveal impostors, and then killing the impostors - simply kill the enemies without checking, as impostors will be revealed after taking one hit of damage. There is no penalty for killing non-impostors.
{{clear}}

For enemies, click the book item links above for specific coordinates.

'''Closing notes:'''
*Your last book will still remain in your Key Item Inventory after completion. To remove it, simply return to [[G'jusana]] and select the Disposal option. Alternatively, drag it out of your Key Items inventory to discard it like any other item.
*This is also a good opportunity to train your [[Chocobo]] if you wish.

===Notes===
*You must be '''equipped''' with a [[Zenith Zodiac Weapon]] in order to get Atma; however this can be '''any''' [[Zenith Zodiac Weapon]] / [[job]].
**Paladins can choose to equip "either" the Zenish sword or shield, both need not be equipped, potentially making them stronger than other jobs when doing level sync 50+ [[FATE]]s
*Atma drop '''randomly''' from '''any''' [[FATE]] in that zone.
**'''The drop rate is 20% per FATE'''<ref>[https://youtu.be/Zg-LRoukGVo FINAL FANTASY XIV Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXXXVII] YoshiP also stated that rates started at 2% and were buffed in [[Patch 2.4]] and further later.</ref>, which means on average at least 56 FATEs for all 12 Atma.
**Being in a [[party]] or having your [[Chocobo]] out has no effect on the 20% chance of drop.<ref name=two>http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/155891-FAQ-Zoadiac-Weapons-You</ref> Being able to finish [[FATE]]s faster, however, will allow for more chances in the same amount of time.
**Your rating in the [[FATE]] doesn't affect your drop rate; however only successfully completed [[FATE]]s will drop Atma.<ref name=two></ref>
**You do not need to stay for the entire length of the [[FATE]]<ref name=two></ref>, however you must still be in the same map when the FATE finishes.
*When Atma do drop, you will be alerted in-game by a popup.
**Atma go into your normal inventory rather than your Key Item inventory. Make sure you have free space in your inventory.
**Because the quest is marked as "completed" after the explanation from [[Jalzahn]]; the game does not automatically track the number / type of Atma in your collection.
**You can collect multiple Atma of the same kind; however only one of each type is used per weapon upgrade.
*This is a good opportunity for you to train your [[Companions|Chocobo]] if you wish.

{{Relic Weapon Quest
|npc = [[Jalzahn]]
|location = [[Hyrstmill]], [[North Shroud]] (x30,y19)
|steps=
Speak with [[Jalzahn]] with your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] equipped who will explain that in order to further enhance your weapon you need to recreate the valorous deeds of the Zodiac Braves, who were revered heroes in Thavnairian legend. These deeds are recorded in a collection of nine sacred texts called the “Trials of the Braves”. He will send you to [[Rowena]] in [[Revenant's Toll]] - who in turn will direct you to [[G'jusana]] who is nearby. After speaking to [[G'jusana]], the quest will move to your "completed quest log".

[[G'jusana]] will sell you one book at a time for {{tomestone|Poetics|100}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics]] each. Each book contains a series of tasks to complete: 10 sets of specific monsters to kill and 3 [[dungeons]], 3 [[FATEs]] and 3 [[levequests]] to complete. Once all the tasks are completed in one book, return to [[G'jusana]] to buy the next one. You must finish all the tasks in one book before completing the next - however you can complete the books in any order. Each book will improve a stat on your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]].

Once all nine books have been completed; return to [[Jalzahn]] along with your unequipped [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] and you will be rewarded your [[Animus Zodiac Weapon]].

===Books===
Each book belong to one of four categories. Each category improves a stat on your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] and each category is called a different name depending on the [[job]]. However, the books themselves and the tasks inside them remain the same regardless of your job.

''(For [[Paladin]]s: Paladins complete seven books for their [[Curtana Animus]] and two books for their [[Holy Shield Animus]].)''

===Notes===
*You can only ever own one book at a time. Each book is specific to a weapon and you must be equipped with the [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] you wish to enhance when making the purchase.
*Must equip the corresponding weapon in order for any completed task to be registered.
*Buying a second book will automatically dispose of the first one. If the first book has not been completed it will need to be redone.
* '''When working on your second weapon onwards, it is highly recommended to do the books in a specific order in parallel with the "[[Zodiac Braves Weapons/Quest|Zodiac Braves]]" subquests, as the two steps have a lot of overlap in required dungeons.''' This recommended book order is:
** Fall I → Earth I → Wind I → Fall II → Fire I → Fire II → Wind II → Netherfire I → Netherfall I

====For {{questlink|fate|FATEs}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Fates.png|right|thumb|FATEs in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*You can achieve bronze, and can even be dead, and still have the FATE count.
*Each map has a maximum number of [[FATEs]] available at any one time. Therefore you may need to clear other [[FATEs]] in order to get the one you need to spawn.
**Also, FATEs generally spawn in such a way that their blue circular areas don't overlap. Therefore, if a different FATE has spawned in the general area of the one you need, clear it out as soon as possible.
*Some [[FATEs]] will only spawn when triggered (either by talking to an NPC at the location or in a nearby location; or after the completion of a previous [[FATE]] as part of a chain). Examples:
**'''{{questlink|fate-defense|The Enmity of My Enemy}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} to be successfully completed first. {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} is triggered by talking to [[Mianne Thousandmalm]] at [[Larkscall]], [[East Shroud]] (x27,y21).
*** Note that only the imperial soldiers and the dogs count toward completion of {{questlink|fate-enemies|The Enemy of My Enemy}} - the sylphs will be aggro'd to the imperial enemies, so avoiding the sylphs and letting them attack can allow for clearing the fate slightly faster.
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Breaching North Tidegate}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|Gauging North Tidegate}} to be successfully completed first
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Breaching South Tidegate}}''' - Requires {{questlink|fate-enemies|Gauging South Tidegate}} to be successfully completed first.
*** The North Tidegate FATEs seem to spawn the South Tidegate FATEs soon after completion, and vice versa. Therefore, if the wrong FATE chain is up, complete it and the other will probably spawn.
**'''{{questlink|fate-boss|Schism}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[Storm Private]] at [[Kobold Dig]], [[Outer La Noscea]] (x24,y16).
*** Note that completion is tied to the [[Kobold Toolbox]]es (crates), and then the boss [[59th Order Matriarch Go Zu]] that spawns after the crates are destroyed. The regular kobolds are not required to complete the fate. Following the NPCs and keeping them alive can speed up completion a bit.
**'''{{questlink|fate-escort|The Ceruleum Road}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[Wary Merchant]] at [[Camp Bluefog]], [[Northern Thanalan]] (x21,y29).
**'''{{questlink|fate-enemies|Tower of Power}}''' - Triggered by speaking to the [[House Haillenarte Guard]] at [[Boulder Downs]], [[Coerthas Central Highlands]] (x10,y28).
* '''{{questlink|fate-defense|Surprise}} at [[Zelma's Run]], [[Upper La Noscea]] (X:26.0, Y:18.0)''' - The FATE will automatically fail about a minute after spawning if no players are present, as the NPCs will be killed by the enemies. This FATE can be anticipated shortly before it spawns, as two Marauders (a male Roegadyn and a female Miqo'te) with Chocobos will spawn near Camp Bronze Lake and march towards the location of the FATE.
* '''{{questlink|fate-enemies|Air Supply}} at [[Ixali Logging Grounds]], [[North Shroud]] (X:19.0, Y:20.0)''' - Only the [[Airstone (Air Supply)|Airstone]]s (crates) and [[Ixali Swiftbeak]]s (which spawn when crates are attacked) will count towards completion. The other Ixali enemies and the dogs will not count. The FATE spawns with some NPCs that will attack the crates, so some of the Swiftbeaks may already be spawned when you arrive.
*It is generally recommended to seek out the FATEs first among all tasks in the book, since you may need to wait for them to spawn. Use the other book tasks as time-killers in the meantime.
*You can visit other worlds on your data center through the [[World Visit System]], or visit other data centers through [[Data Center Travel]], to check if the FATEs you need have spawned there. Note that visiting another world requires going to [[Ul'dah]], [[Limsa Lominsa]], or [[New Gridania]] and interacting with the aetheryte, while visiting another data center requires logging out and then right-clicking your character's name in the character select menu.

====For {{questlink|dungeon|Dungeons}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Dungeons.png|right|thumb|Dungeons in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*Dungeons can be completed [[unsynced]].
*You must have your [[Atma Zodiac Weapon]] equipped for the final boss for it to count.<ref name=one>http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/155891-FAQ-Zoadiac-Weapons-You</ref> You can equip a stronger high-level weapon to make the dungeon go faster, but DON'T FORGET to re-equip your Atma weapon prior to engaging and killing the final boss, or else you'll have to re-run the entire dungeon to get credit.
** Paladins need Not equip Holy shield Atma when defeating the final boss of a dungeon.
*You must be alive when the final boss of the [[dungeon]] is killed. If you are dead, it will not count towards completion of the book.<ref name=one></ref>
*The [[Decaying Gourmand]] (first boss) in {{questlink|dungeon|The Lost City of Amdapor}} can be difficult to solo if your damage is low, due to its devour mechanic.
{{clear}}

====For {{questlink|levequest|Levequests}}====
[[File:Book_of_Skyfire_I_Leves.png|right|thumb|Levequests in the Book of Skyfire I]]
*General [[levequests]] and Grand Company [[levequests]] are given out by two different NPCs at each location. Make sure you are talking to the correct one.
*'''Only a limited number of [[levequests]] are offered at any one time.''' You may need to complete one of the levequests in order to reveal the one you need.
**If you're low on allowances, completing a levequest without turning it in for a reward will refresh the list of available quests. You can also check other areas for any of the leves you need prior to completing the others you don't. '''Completing a levequest in ''any'' zone will reset the available leves everywhere.'''
**If you have a lot of allowances, holding onto several leves at once can help ensure you have access to the correct one. Levemetes offer leves from a set pool per area, but they cannot offer a leve you are currently holding.
***It is possible to hold more leves than a levemete offers at a time - for example, the Northern Thanalan levemete has a pool of 5 leves, offering 4 of them at a time, but it is possible for you to hold all 5 of his leves at once. Whenever the available leves are reset (by completing a leve from any levemete, or at daily reset), this levemete will randomly pick 4 leves from his pool to offer. If a leve in the final list is one you are already holding, then it will be hidden. This means that, if you collect all 4 of this levemete's leves, reset the leve list, and then come back, there is a chance that he has the 5th leve on offer for you to collect.
**The leves required per book per area are as follows:

*[[Levequests]] are only counted as "completed" when you collect the reward from the Levemete, and this is the only time where the game checks whether your Atma weapon is equipped. As such, it is possible to do the leve with another weapon (or another class altogether) and switch back to your Atma before collecting the rewards, and it will still count.
* Tips for specific leve types:
** '''For the "Necrologos" leves''' - Only the one in Coerthas Central Highlands requires killing enemies (and even then, they immediately respawn, so you can simply kill the same enemy repeatedly). For the leves in Mor Dhona and Northern Thanalan, the enemies cannot drop pages, so they can be ignored - just pick up the pages on the ground and kill enemies that spawn from the pages.
** '''For the "kill enemies for 5 minutes" leves''' - there are generally 2 common enemies that spawn in pairs together from the start of the leve and a rare enemy that will only start spawning paired with one of the common enemies starting exactly 1 minute after the leve has initiated, even if you haven't killed any of the common enemies up to that point. After at least one of each of the 3 types of enemies have been killed, you are not required to linger around the leve area - as long as you stay in the zone, you are free to fly around and kill enemies for other book objectives. You cannot level sync for FATEs while the leve is running, however.
** '''For "find the impostors" leves''' - you an skip the process of poking an enemy for an item, using the item to reveal impostors, and then killing the impostors - simply kill the enemies without checking, as impostors will be revealed after taking one hit of damage. There is no penalty for killing non-impostors.

For enemies, click the book item links above for specific coordinates.

'''Closing notes:'''
*Your last book will still remain in your Key Item Inventory after completion. To remove it, simply return to [[G'jusana]] and select the Disposal option. Alternatively, drag it out of your Key Items inventory to discard it like any other item.
*This is also a good opportunity to train your [[Chocobo]] if you wish.
