Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Skapoc]

So how do you start this quest? I didn't see it in the notes.

You'll notice another quest in Fallgourd after you have to turn in your 3 inks which will start this quest line.

Thanks for the summary. 2 questions about it:

1) What has Expert Roulette to do with the map? Isn't it something you need a Level 50 DOL for? Is it a drop that can only be obtained through Expert roulette?
2) Can you wear any weapon for these FATES or do you need an Animus weapon to make them drop?

BTW, the Patch notes are a Joke regarding Novus. It is just general blabla leaving you alone with 1.000 questions lol.

The expert Roulette is just what the quest wants you to do to get these new maps. You pick up the quest, you do the roulette, you get the map as you hand in the quest(think weekly primal kills quest). And yes you must wear your animus to get Alexandrite from a FATE.

Was already proven right before servers went back down. Second meld requires another grade I.

Gracias! What I wanted to know

It's possibly going to demand higher materia levels the closer you get to the stat cap, I doubt it will be level 1 forever.

Why did that silly girl NPC tell me that I can only do 5 materia per scroll? What was she talking about?

This confused me too.

The amount of people who have animus weapons are pretty small though.

Plus, if it turns out grinding fates is feasable you'll get lots of your own materia from spiritbinding them.

The actual demand from this quest will be nothing compared to someone trying to penta meld a piece of gear.

[SarcasmMisser]

The amount of people pentamelding is also tiny though...

God! I hope there's no more RNG involved. All these 19 pages are kinda confusing to me rather than clearing things up. Too bad I'm still stuck with updating using mobile conns since I'm still outside. lol

Thought you couldn't spiritbond on fates?
