Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Spellbinder]

Done 1h30-2h fate grinding, 0 alexandrite, clearly better to kill ourselves on brayflox ...
Thanks Yoshi for delaying the patch for "alternative" route, because there is no one.

You can bash your head against a wall doing Brayflox and FATEs, or you could just do Daily Roulette: Expert for a guarunteed map and alexandrite every day.

Burning out before the hunts and other alexandrite options in 2.3 is your choice.

question is which grind is more entertaining? bray or fates? if all fates work no matter sync'd or not, a high level fate zone like around beastmen strongholds or mor dhona might be a pretty good choice. but i guess it comes down to either getting your alex for sure or risk to not get anything after 4hrs at all

my answer: none, just do whatever activity you want to do since everything PvE50 but 2nd coil and trash farming gives mytho or alex.
spaming one single activity is never the more entertaining even if it's by far the fastest .
for same "grind needed" reward i'd rather do 2H of varietd activitie than 1h of spam 1, and if you do other activities you might get side reward
also stop farming fates with your ilvl90+ gear buy white gear and meld it!

With 'just' doing daily maps (before 2.3) it would take 2.5 months to complete the scroll which imo isn't as bad as people are making out.

If you do DR's daily and a few bray runs here and there you could complete it in 1.5months or less without burning out.

@spellbinder : I would not mind to that do if we don't need 75 alexandrite
1 per day = 75 days. It's more than two months!
if you are lucky or farming myth as hell, you can have for example 50 alexandrite by brayflox + 25 from daily quest : it's still 40 000 myth to do, so 800 bray runs

two month for a stage of relic is perfectly fine when next stage come more than two month after.

2.3 will bring another upgrade to the Zodiac, if they keep their schedule... And since it's been 2 months in 2.2, I think 2.3 is here in a month or so.

If you want to get it fast, you pretty much have to do daily quest every day, farm Myth like you know nothing else, and do Fate grinds whenever you can't find players for Myth farm

I would have thought that the next continuation of Zodiac would be 2.4. Any source that there are further upgrades planned before the next turns of Coil?

I think they will stop at 110 until Coil 3 (so probably 2.4 as you mentioned), I think Yoshi said that relic should not be better than current allagan weapon.

Judging by the recent Lodestone topic posts, I'd say we're getting 2.3 in a few weeks barring delays.

I'd expect 2.35 or 2.3x myself
