http://ff11.s33.xrea.com/dynamis/xarca.gifGot Bored, did a little research~

Few details that are not commonly known:

After obtaining the Dynamis Sword, take it to the goblin NPC in Castle Zavhl Baileys and he will ask you to bring him an Attestation of Glory. Attestation of Glory can be obtained 1 of 3 ways, all are located in Dynamis-Beaucedine.
1) Rare Drop from Hydra Paladin
2) Rare Drop from Hydra Red Mage
3) [Rumored] 100% Drop from Hydra NM: Quiebitel

The best chance you have is to kill Quiebitel, to do this you must first travel to F-7 (Pso'xja tower). On the way you'll encounter the Hydra mobs, and when you reach the tower, there will be a Trigger NM (Vanguard Eye) you must defeat. Once it is defeated, 1 attestation NM pops in each [Pso'xja] tower.

Mildaunegeux [H-10]: MNK, NIN, SAM
Velosareon [J-8]: THF, DRK, RNG
Goublefaupe [H-8]: WHM, BLM, BRD
Dagourmarche [G-9]: BST, DRG, SMN
Quiebitiel [I-7]: PLD, WAR, RDM

Each NM is all three jobs at once, and they can use any or all 2-hrs.

After you obtain the attestation of glory, go back to the Goblin in Castle Zhavl Baileys and he will ask you to bring him a fee of 61 L. Jadeshells. At the moment I'm at 29/61. Hopefully my LS will be doing alot of Dynamis-Windurst soon! ^^;

After you trade him all 61 L. Jadeshells, he will tell you to come back later. First time I had to wait a day, then last time I had to wait a week for the Dynamis Sword, I can only imagine that I'd have to wait a month for the Upgrade to be ready (although I hope not). At any rate, eventually he will give you the Caliburn.

After you recieve the Caliburn, you're supposed to wear it for awhile, especially in dynamis, and eventually it'll start 'talking' to you. It will supposedly give you instructions on what to do next.

As far as the Holy Fragment goes; fragments are a confirmed 100% drop from Animated weapons in Dynamis-Xarcabard. There is no 'Animated Sword' that I've seen yet, but it may be a drop from the Animated Tabar which is located at the cliff area above the zone to Uleguerand Range. It is rumored that you have to defeat Yin and Yang before the the Animated weapons pop.

I believe that the animated weapons pop after you defeat the last Demon NM. There will be a phrase that pops up on your screen like a Time Extension would. It is: "The prison of souls has set free its captive spirits!" I believe after that phrase, the animated weapons are accessible.

Supposedly, after you obtain the Holy Fragment, your Caliburn will start talking alot telling you what to do next.

It is rumored that you'll take the caliburn and the holy fragment to the gobbie in Castle Baileys and He'll ask for the Fragment, the Sword, and 10,000 currency. Then it is said to go to the pond in Dragon's Arey and trade a Necrospyche (common drop from Vanguard Dragon) for a final cutscene and your Excalibur.

After we killed the Drg King NM the last time we got the text about the prisoners being released. General said he saw the Animated Long-bow even before we reached Ying/Yang.

Once we get to that point we could be doing runs specifically for Weapons and skip the whole DL part, add an hour+ to what we need.

That's a good summary Nuclear; thanks! Far as I know, a Tabar is a pick-type weapon (Axe). The Qufim Island NM drops a tabar, and it's also synthable. I believe General thinks the sword NM is on the upper tier of Xar, where the HNM Coeurl(?) is for Genkai 2.

How close are people to getting their relic's ready to get these stages done? I'm fully ready to try and engage some of these NM's we haven't gone up against. I also have a hunch that mobs such as the Hydra class may have a greater drop rate on AF as opposed to standard dynamis Mobs.

We shouldn't ever consider a Beaudicine or Xarcabard run as "Farming" it should be attestation or weapon NM, I think we'll see greater out-comes all around dedicating ourselves to those goals. Plus if we get a few people at least to stage 3 so they can use their relic WS' in dynamis that could pack a much stronger punch against DL, anything to make that easier right? ^^

I think General has close to 20 Jade Shells out of the 61 required for the next upgrade. But that means he still needs 40, and it's taken him several months just to get what he has. I'm not sure how much currency Shizune has, though. I think those are the only 2 people who have upgraded twice already. Regardless, it's going to be awhile still before people need the attestations, and even longer before we have worry about fighting the animated weapons. There just isn't enough ancient currency around to provide the number of people that want to upgrade with enough currency anytime soon.

Tabars are crescent-bladed hand axes, not picks. Only Beastmasters can use tabars in game.

The thing is they don't tell you what currency to get till you trade them the assertion. So possibly some people could need one now.

next question to ask is just how many need one. If we see more than 2 or 3 it would be good to schedual a run for that then. I'm up for it.

I haven't bought much currency outside of DB and in DB lately because I've been wanting to HQ some stuff in bonecraft. I will start to buy more (I have my Dynamis dagger and I also plan to do other relic weapons like the katana or the gun)

I recently aquired Caliburn this weekend and tested it in Dynamis-Xarcabard. The animated Longsword is fairly easy to get to if you play it smart and hard in Xarcabard you should have about an hour and a half to kill it. I see that you have listed that attastations drop from Hydras in Beaucidine but I have never seen them drop at all from those. The two items arn't the problem still its the currency and this last upgrade of 10k is monster.
