Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[TomTom1968]

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.

Thanks for clearing it up, I thought it is just a new map I can gather with my Miner or Botanist. So basically you can spam Expert roulette for a while to get your Alexandrite. I doubt the Roulette bonus needs to be unused to get it. Maybe that's their counteraction for leaving players in Brayflox. Stay the fuck in the dungeon till the end to get your Alexandrite could be a solution, at least for Roulette.

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.

True, although I am wondering about the reports of being told 5 materia per scroll. If that's true, I'm kinda thrown off by how the melds will be done. Had one permutation that made sense(5 Scrolls with 2(I)/1(II)/1(III)/1(IV) melds) until I recalled stat max for Curtana/Holy Shield being reported as 53 and 22 respectively.

Oh...my....god, just learned about the 20 post/day limit.....What the bloody hell?

So once you put, say, a crit 1 materia on first, you then HAD to put another crit 1 on there? Is that right? I'm curious whether you can have more than 2 types of secondary stats now, and whether you can have more det than you normall might if the 75 is the same cap regardless.

I just learned, that it is actually 5 types of materia and not 5 materia.

So basicly we can put 5 Secondary stats on it wow thats great. Even though they are a total of 75 still then. But hey Customiziation

SE should have clarified a bit more about this quest. Oh, well, I'll see how my FC/LS buddies mess it up and learn from their mistakes before I attempt my Novus, muwhaha! If it only requires T1 materias, this will be a loooong process, thankfully these are easy to get and I think I'll stick with FATEs for Alexandrite, since I feel lucky!

and i tho the relic quest couldn't be worse

I stupidly chose yesterday to swap out the new ps4 and ssd (old one was overheating). Which meant I had to watch the starting cs again, and transfer data from the ps3 version for a bastardized version of my hotbars, with all the UI and settings back to default.

By the time I was able to check the mb on Gilgamesh the patch had been live for about 30 min. The price of crit 4 was 800k - and I'm positive it will go even higher. Utter madness.

I am not sure if you could spread the 75 Points over the 5 types, but i don't see why we could not. Basically the same as putting materia into Gear. Either go to cap a certain stat, or mix others in as well. I would guess it does work the same, which needs to be checked out of course.
