They are not say "Weapon damage will be remain the same"

I assume ofc they raised up dmg to ilvl 110

I for one cannot wait to see the new glows/designs!

Can't assume because Atma had an item level raise with no weapon damage raise.

Atma/Animus both were ilvl100. Novus is ilvl110. That is a genuine jump, WHICH will merit an improvement in weapon damage. Or it is not ilvl110. Shouldn't expect an increase in weapon damage, on the same thing. The only thing you were doing in the Animus phase, was enhancing stats.

You cant really count Zenith - Atma process. It was pretty much clearly just SE way of starting the process. Nothing really serious, just killed people with grinding fates, lol.

The notes say that it will grant stats befit of an ilvl110, so WD is expected to increase.

Atma have no changes to any stat at all, it's diff.

I think his point was, when you change the relic from zenith to atma, the iLevel goes up but weapon damage stays the same, whereas upgrading from a finished atma to animus has no iLevel change, but weapon damage is boosted.

because it's already in game? just no convertible items in that lv range yet, to get it....well at least there's Carbonized V as quest reward. (duno about the ilv90 craftables, if they are convertible)
possibly you can get them by de-synth.

If Alexandrite is only from the new maps...it looks like I need to level a gathering class *cry*

Doubt it.

One of the reasons for the delay was to open more ways to get the new currency (Alex).
