Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Keres]

Does anyone know what the customizable stat spread is for Curtana and Holy Shield? 65/10 or something maybe?

so i am reading the Novus weapon section in the patch notes. and notice for the melee weapon, the Gae Bolg, they replace accuracy for skill speed. and also happen to read that for the Thyrus Animus and Omnilex Animus the accuracy will NOT replaced. now this seems kind of confusing for me. and though i suppose it depends on your other gear if the ACC is worth-while trade-off for Skill Speed. but i have always been under the impression Accuracy is more important for melee then casters. yes more scrolls will be ready at a later date. but +40 ACC is a lot to lose it seems to me.

or am i missing something?

Ok has anyone put a materia onto the scroll yet? I bought some Tier 3 Crit and I can't infuse even one. Do I need to infuse a Tier 1 and 2 first? or do I need to have more Alexandrite?

Healers will keep their accuracy because, for them, it's a bonus stat that helps to stop them missing hopelessly often, rather than being an important stat to max for jobs that expect to reliably hit things every time, I'd think.

As for losing it on your weapon - it depends on the cap for what you're doing and the rest of your gear. It's important to have enough that you don't miss, but a waste to have any more than that.

From what i'm reading, you start with Tier1 and it goes up from there. You only need 1 Alexandrite per attempt.

hmmm. Ok so I just bought a Tier 1 crit has +2 well it only gave me +1 and now I'm 1/75 so we need 75 Alexandrite?

If you don't fail any mend....for what I've been reading % success is not always 100% (I'm gonna guess, closest you are to 75 melds less % success).
So, probably "at least" 75 alexandrite.

right no doubt. it's just strange for me. because my main is WHM. and i have never once noticed an attack miss. not even at low levels. though i have noticed at lower level any physical user had accuracy issues. heck this is FF, i did not think magic could even be evaded. or was that blocked? it's one or the other. :/ ah well. if you don't need the accuracy, there isn't much to talk about anyhow thank you for the response.

Found some info on Reddit.... but I guess people haven't had the time to get more than a few Alex to check. But to me it seems like we will need 75+ Alex to get it done, Unless higher Tiers will give you more than one point per materia. If we do only get 1 point per meld then down the road SE needs to tie relics to end game and make them top tier. Because this is a huge grind.
