This is a summary record of all stages of the Paladin’s Zodiac Weapon (ZW).
![norirow](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2057-500x500.png)
I think Paladin’s Zodiac Weapon is the coolest!
Paladin’s weapon has a feeling that the design was completed in the early days.

Zodiac Weapon is weapon enhancement content for A Realm Reborn. I personally like it because I can feel that it is “evolving” with a lot of content in how to proceed!
![norirow](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2057-500x500.png)
It’s hard to make, but it’s worth the evolution!
So here’s what the Paladin’s Zodiac Weapon look like at all stages!
Pre-stage: Unfinished Curtana
For starters, we will only make a sword called “Unfinished Curtana“.
![noriko](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/phonto-11-2-500x281.png)
It’s kind of like the White Auracite sword.

Stage 1: Relic
The first form of sword “Curtana” and shield “Holy Shield“, called relics, has a design with a silver shield and a light blue sword that makes quite an impact.
![noriko](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/phonto-11-2-500x281.png)
This mirror-finished shield is so beautiful!

The light blue sword is also rare and refreshing.

Stage 2: Zenith
The second form of the sword “Curtana Zenith” and the shield “Holy Shield Zenith” will have the effect of shining as it is in the previous stage design.
![noriko](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/phonto-11-2-500x281.png)
It was rainbow colored!

The 3rd form Sword “Curtana Atma” and Shield “Holy Shield Atma“ will change the overall color to white while keeping the design from the previous stage.
![noriko](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/phonto-11-2-500x281.png)
I’m happy to have become the coolest and cutest sword and shield in pure white! I fell in love at first sight♪

![norirow](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2057-500x500.png)
Oh, it’s a white sacred aura.

When you swing your sword around, it sparkles and is beautiful!

Stage 5: Novus
The 5th form Sword “Curtana Novus” & Shield “Holy Shield Novus“ will change the glow effect while keeping the same design.
![norirow](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2057-500x500.png)

Stage 6: Nexus
The 6th form of the Sword “Curtana Nexus” & Shield “Holy Shield Nexus” has an even more intense glowing effect while still retaining Atma’s design.
![norirow](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2057-500x500.png)
Oh, it looks like it’s going to be super strong with some amazing effects!

Especially the rotating barrier of the shield is quite conspicuous. It’s too bright to look directly at, but…

Stage 7: Zodiac Weapon
The design changes in the seventh form, and it becomes the sword “Excalibur” & Shield “Aegis Shield“ bearing the name of that legendary weapon that is familiar in the FF series.
![norirow](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2057-500x500.png)
Oooh, it’s impressive that I can equip Excalibur.

![norirow](https://ff14.norirow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/img_2057-500x500.png)
It’s all so cool, it’s become the Note family’s best heirloom!
Norirow-san and Noriko-chan are always equipped with Holy Shields. I’m glad you got your favorite treasure.
