Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Arkista]

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.

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.

from what i can tell it is more time consuming then anything. if that is the case i do not think they should ever be made better then the latest weapons from the Binding Coil.

Both are time consuming and with luck on your side it will be faster to get a high allagan weapon. With T9 weapons all you need to do is learn the fight and hope you have a good static to beat it. Relic is a huge time investment, I'm sure there will be a few people done with it by Saturday. But I don't see why SE can't at some point make both Relic and End Game weapons the same ilvl for future content.

This whole Atma/Animus/Novus thing has gone from simply being a ridiculous time-sink to now being an -extremely- ridiculous time and now gil sink.

Don't be the one to go rush and try and buy up tons of materias from the MB. Need to start of with lower Tiers. So give it a week or so and the prices should drop. I would say I feel bad but some people on my server bought T4 materias for like 600k...

well there WILL be a point where Binding Coil will stop. at some point Bahamut will have to rear his ugly head and get defeated. i would suspect if Relic weapons ever surpass Allagan weapons it won't be till sometime after the final Coil. sure the Relic weapon is time consuming. but that is about it. the gil to buy a weapon with T3 materia slotted now is hardly even sizable anymore. plus the Atma thing will change in the future. so it takes a minimal amount of effort. huge time & some gil here and there.

on the other hand just forming a static group alone can be difficult. and may take some time to get a reliable group on a reliable schedule. not everyone is good at that sort of thing. so most people will either scout out a recruit ad or wait for someone to pick them up. and some groups may only play once per week. but if the group works, beggars can't be choosers. and then you have to practice it enough to get it on farm status. PLUS every turn before it in the same Coil. and isn't there a weekly lock out?

IMO, it takes more commitment, effort and skill to be farming the High Allagan weapons.

Anyone got a drop from a fate yet? Can you do level sync fates?

Just purchased every teir 1 savage aim material on the market board and relisted for 5 times what I paid. Have already made back what I spent and have 41 materia left. LMAO.

I suddenly love this game and its impatient user base again! >
