Just to be sure before I spend more time FATE grinding! Alternately, has anybody gotten alexandrite drops from FATEs since this message went up yesterday? Thanks for the help.
It's just as Codek has mentioned. Basically, this only applies to paladins who have upgraded their Curtana Animus to Curtana Novus and are trying to upgrade their Holy Shield.

Also, as a side note just to debunk any rumors floating around, equipping both Curtana Animus and Holy Shield Animus at the same time will not improve the drop rate of Alexandrite from FATEs. Similarly, if you equip Curtana Animus and Holy Shield Zenith you will only receive alexandrite as a drop; you will not receive both atma and alexandrite.
