How to get Eureka & Anima Weapons in Final Fantasy XIV?
Both kinds of weapons such as anima and Eureka could be unlocked once you reach a certain level. You would have to unlock specific quests by talking to several kinds of NPCs within the game.

How to get the Eureka Weapon in FFXIV?
For your kind information, Eureka is a Relic weapon that came with the Stormblodd expansion in update 4.25. keep in mind that you would have to clear level 70 job quests and after that, you will get an Antiquated Weapon. you can also buy it from the “Calamity Salvage for 1000 Gil” in any of the initial 3 cities. Now you should move on to the Forbidden Land of Eureka divided into 4 regions:
- Eureka Anemos
- Eureka Pagos
- Eureka Pyros
- Eureka Hydatos
For the purpose of acquiring Eureka, you need to go to each of the areas to acquire certain loot. Once you reach these regions, you will start at Level 1 Elemental Magic. With that being said all other players will also be of a similar level. Zodiac Zeta weapons or Lux weapons provide help in eh longer term. The good news is that you could kill the monster in the areas for the purpose of looting. We would recommend that once you die then do not respawn as it might waste your hours of grinding.
