Manderville Weapons
- See also: Replica Manderville Weapons
Manderville Weapons are the level 90 Relic Weapons for Endwalker released in Patch 6.25. Players need to complete the entire Hildibrand quest chain until The Imperfect Gentleman to unlock the Manderville Weapons Quests and thereby the relic weapons. To fully upgrade these weapons, players need to complete the entirety of the Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures questline, which concludes with Gentlemen at Heart and includes The Gilded Araya trial.
In contrast to the previous two expansions' Relic Weapons (Eurekan Weapons and Resistance Weapons), Manderville Weapons are not tied to a field operation series, as none were released for Endwalker. Unlike previous relic weapons, which had convoluted and time-consuming upgrade requirements, the upgrade process for Manderville Weapons has been greatly simplified: for each step, players must merely collect 1,500 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, to purchase 3 upgrade items from Jubrunnah in Radz-at-Han (12.2, 10.9). It costs a total of 6,000 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics for one final-stage weapon, and 114,000 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics for all 19 final-stage weapons.
Lore
“Patch 6.25 introduces a new series of weapon enhancements with the beginning of the Manderville weaponry saga, set to continue throughout 6.x. The events of the latest Hildibrand quests will drop you headfirst into the story surrounding these historically significant and astronomically magnificent armaments!
“Lord Godbert has been diligently deciphering his ancestor's manual in a bid to recreate the magnificent Manderville weaponry. Though stymied by cryptic code for quite some time, the key to advancing the augmentation process is finally in his well-manicured hands!
“Tireless in his quest, Lord Godbert has unlocked yet another secret of his ancestor's astonishing smithing techniques. He stands ready to advance your weaponry to the next stage...assuming Gerolt is still willing to cooperate.
“The successful application of extraterrestrial smithing techniques has brought the Manderville weaponry to new heights of excellence. Poised on the precipice of perfection, could the entire endeavor yet be undone by the threat of mundane managerial woes?

To upgrade their weapons, players need to be level 90 with a Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic and complete the the Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures Quest Not from Around Here, as well as own one of the Manderville Weapons obtained in the Feature Quest Well-oiled.

Attributes
This new iteration of the Manderville weapons allows players to allocate the weapon's attributes. Players may select two attributes to be maximized (at a value of 293), and a third attribute to be set to a lower value (72). The attributes to select from are Critical Hit, Determination, and two attribute that depends on the player's job (Direct Hit Rate, Spell Speed, Skill Speed, Tenacity, or Piety).
Once chosen, the attributes can be changed at the House Manderville Alchemist at the cost of one Amplifying Achondrite.
This adjustability, combined with an overall slightly higher total number of attribute points, makes the Majestic Manderville Weapons slightly stronger than the Voidcast Weapons of equal item level.

According to the recommendations of The Balance,[1] players who are not deliberately optimizing the rest of their gear for spell speed or skill speed should use the following attribute distribution for a "best in slot" level 90 endgame build. These recommendations, and the weapons, are now obsolete outside of Ultimate and Criterion optimization.

Paladin | CRT +306 | DET +306 | TEN +72 |

Notes
- Players can complete all Hildibrand quests added since A Realm Reborn until The Imperfect Gentleman in a few hours if they skip all cutscenes. This is recommended for players who are not interested in the Hildibrand story but would like to acquire Manderville weapons. The time-limiting factor is likely the Kugane Ohashi trial, which may have lengthy queue times in Duty Finder. An alternative way of completing it is to form an Unrestricted Party (unsynced) using Party Finder, which only requires two or three level 90 characters.
- With only four stages, this relic weapon series has the fewest number of steps of any series.
