CatsEyeXI Systems/Mythic Weapon

From FFXI Wiki


Changes with Retail

  • Vajra has Treasure Hunter +1
  • Laevateinn has "Iridescence"
  • Tupsimati has "Iridescence"
  • All DMG+ augments (obtained via the first 3 Trial of the Magians) also add the same amount of Resist "Death".
    • For example, DMG+2 is not DMG/Resist "Death"+2

Creation

Note: Rune Fencer and Geomancer have Mythic Weapon equivalents in the form of Ergon Weapons

While Nyzul Isle Investigation is completable on LSB, much of the other necessary content for Mythic Weapons is not implemented. Owing to this, there is an improvised quest line to get your weapon.

Starting:

Acquiring The Base Weapon

To receive your base weapon you'll need to speak to Nonoroon, Aht Urhgan Whitegate (I-11) while on your main job and in possession of at least 6,000 Zeni (ZNM) points.

  • He will ask you for 5 Imp. Gold Piece icon.png Imperial Gold Pieces. Upon trading, Nonoroon will deduct the zeni points from your currencies.
    • Note: Be sure you are on The job that you want the base weapon for!

Obtaining Zeni

Just as in retail, players must take photographs of monsters in order to satisfy Sanraku's Def Leppard fueled desires.

  • Unlike in retail, there is no bonus multiplier. When you take a picture it is simply a random amount of Zeni rewarded, no matter the target.

See Zandjarl at (F-7) in The Colosseum and trade them Imp. Gold Piece icon.png Imperial Gold Pieces to receive Jettons. You then may purchase Soul Trappers and Soul Plates with Jettons. The main door to The Colosseum does not work, you must enter via The Pit entrance at K11.

Trade Sanraku at (E-8) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate your successful Soul Plate icon.png Soul Plate in exchange for Zeni.

Achieving Mercenary Sergeant Rank

Since assaults are not fully implemented, your Assault rank on CatsEyeXI will be directly connected to your mission progress, plus a small currency cost, see CEXI ToAU missions for more information.

Collecting Alexandrite

Paparoon, Nashmau (G-7) has been coded to store your Alexandrite.

  • He will not accept bags or pouches, break everything down to alexandrite first.

A total of 30,000 Alexandrite is required for your mythic weapon. Once the required amount has been traded, Paparoon will deduct 30,000 Alexandrite from your stored balance, you'll be rewarded a Cat's Eye icon.png Cat's Eye, and you'll be sent on a journey to acquire some Zeni NM (ZNM) drops.

Required Items

For the second phase of the quest, you will be required to procure the items below. You can obtain them in any order.

Once the above items have been gathered, you will need to trade them to the Seaprince's Tombstone in Caedarva Mire (E-10). You will finally be asked to trade your base weapon to complete building your weapon.

  • Trade the base weapon you obtained in the first step and this will complete your Mythic. Congratulations!

Exchanging a Mythic Weapon

In the event that a Mystic Weapon is not what one hoped for, players may exchange one for another:

  • Trade your Mythic Weapon to the Seaprince's Tombstone in Caedarva Mire (E-10)
  • Visit Nonoroon at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (I-11) on the job you want the new mythic weapon for.
    • You must have at least 6000 Zeni, and be level 75.
  • After speaking with Nonoroon, trade him 5 Imp. Gold Piece icon.png Imperial Gold Pieces, and he will give you a new base weapon.
  • You will be told to go to Paparoon (Nashmau) deduct 10,000 Alexandrite icon.png Alexandrite from your balance.
    • Once this condition has been met you will be instructed to return to the Seaprince's Tombstone with the new base weapon to collect your reward.
