Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Xine]

Talk to the guy at north shroud. He can show you what your stats will be based on what you've already infused.

It's 1:1.

Tell me that when its been confirmed with a completed Novus weapon and I'll believe it, until then its nothing but text that's already been proven to not give you ALL of the information that's required "by players" to be able to completely understand how a quest works. Call the previous lack of descriptions bugs or typos it doesn't matter. But until this is proven one way or another, I don't encourage anyone to believe the text letter by letter.

And just as well, I dont think this has been mentioned by anyone yet, but the game can not predict how you will meld your scroll. Nobody has compeletely melded up Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry on their weapon yet, so it goes without saying that the game could just show you the actual caps of the two attributes that are partially melded on the scroll. In which case, say you have 31 or lower for Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry on your weapon and 22 or lower Det, the game does not know if you're going to continue melding more Det, or add more to Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry instead. But even then, you can have a mixture of up to a maximum of 5 different attributes so regardless of how you -want- to meld it, does not mean the game can actually foresee what you will absolutely get at the end until Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry IS capped on the weapon before it gives you a set in stone number value for Det. I think a lot of people have over looked this little fun fact in their arguments.

However, its entirely possible that Novus weapons can exceed the current idea of what an i110 weapon will have on it since it uses Materia to increase/alter the attributes. All crafted equipment has specific caps per attribute, but NOT an overall total cap between secondary attributes. Since there is going to be a ton of speculation on this, its best to keep the speculation down to a minimum until one is completely finished and can give concrete evidence as to whether or not you can cap Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry to 44 AND Det/Pie to 31.

Something people are being blinded by is their own ideas about what this quest will ultimately come down to as far as how different or similar the Novus is compared to the other weapons in the game currently. None of us are actually saying "Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry will cap at 44 and after that Det/Pie can only cap at 22. We are only saying that you should not get your hopes up that you WILL get 44 Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry and 31 Det/Pie. What's actually going on here is people are getting butthurt that they may not get this and they refuse to believe that.
