Regarding the Completed Curtana Novus by Artista Jun: It's... *drumroll* Parry/Accuracy! Crud. Either way, holy geez that was fast.

Regarding the Japanese thread: Automatic translation isn't working ideally, but I think I can support the slightly more proficient translation(s) with a later post mentioning how the "hit" could be melded 35 times, 35 + 9 = 44, and that it makes sense that the number is 35 now. Numbers that support an association with Accuracy on a healer weapon.

Regarding the patch note example: There's no Determination or Piety on that Gae Bolg. It contains 75 points of 1:1 stats. Remember that Det is approximately 1:1.415 and Piety is approximately 1:1.34. Therefore, it cannot be used as evidence to disprove the theory that Determination and Piety are actually weighted on a Novus. The only thing that can prove or disprove it is a finished novus with Determination and/or Piety on it. No ifs, ands, or buts.
