FFXIV 5.45 Patch Notes: Resistance Weapons Upgrade
To access the Resistance Weapons Relics upgrade you will first need to progress in the new sidequest chain of the Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr story, and finish the quests "The Will to Resist" and "Fit for a Queen."
To start this quest chain you will need to talk to Gerolt in Gangos (X:6.2 Y:5.0) and accept the quest called "In the Queen's Image"
Players will need to have completed the first two steps of the relics — if you want to know more about those, please feel free to check our dedicated guides here:

The 24-player raid Delubrum Reginae has been added to FFXIV
Delubrum Reginae is a 24-player duty wherein players must brave the depths of ancient Bozjan ruins, making effective use of lost actions to avoid its myriad perils and pitfalls.
Players can enter the raid after completing the quest called "Fit for a Queen" that appears once progressing enough in the Bozjan Front story quests.
To enter Delubrum Reginae players will need to speak with Mikoto at the Lost Trace or Sjeros in Gangos (X:5.5 Y:5.4).
- Traps: Players may encounter traps while fighting their way through Delubrum Reginae. Traps are invisible and, when triggered, can deal large amounts of damage or afflict players with any number of debilitating effects. That said, there are certain lost actions that will allow one to detect traps before they are activated.
- Penalties: Players who are incapacitated during this duty will lose mettle. An additional penalty to mettle will be incurred when returning to the start of the instance or abandoning the duty without being raised.
- Gear Effects: The additional effects of Bozjan gear will also be applied in Delubrum Reginae.
- Rewards: Treasure coffers that appear in this instance yield separate rewards for each player. Be certain to open any you find as you fight your way through the ruins.
Delubrum Reginae (Savage) has been added to FFXIV 5.45
After forming a 48-player alliance, the alliance leader must speak with the troubled gentleman in Gangos (X:6.6 Y:5.0) to commence the duty.
While inside Delubrum Reginae (Savage), players will be subjected to a status effect that prevents resurrection by certain means. Raise effects granted via limit breaks and certain lost actions are exempt from this restriction.
