Snip

I agree with you there with regards to the requirement, that's why my Aug post said "GGWP if it is done this way (referring to IL110 only SB in SCoB)"

But of course Zodiac being an open to all weapon, it can't naturally be the case. So it must be able to "bond" in other ways, which we will see when the server is up.

If Second Coil turns out to give the best 'Attunement' I'm going to have a tough challenge in convincing my static to spam the T7 elevator to try and finish it this week.
Assuming that there isn't a cap to how much attunement can be gained from any particular activity, and we're forced to utilize various methods, which according to
the patch notes:

"A weapon’s soul attunement level will rise by a set amount determined by the activity being performed. This amount, however, may increase each time a certain period of time passes. Thus sharing information with other players will be invaluable in planning the most efficient method of attunement."

I have no idea how to exactly interpret this
Maybe this means harder activities will reward more attunement, and easier activities like open world content will be worth garbage to start off, and the more weeks that pass since you started the Nexus, the more credit that content will be worth?

Are you the only chap in your static that has Novus?

IDK if they don't want to spam T7, then try to push back T7 to weekends or something if possible.

I think I might have little luxury here since my static disbanded and I have been a free agent for the past 3 weeks - I could just create PF to recruit like minded people to spam attunement together.

How do you guys read it with the Update to Nexus? Is it an OPTION to allow us to rebuild the stats on it or is it a MUST HAVE? Can I just "harmonize" my weapon and have a 115 weapon or do I need 75 Alexandrites on the way again? Or are each individual stats different now so for example instead of +44 Crit, you now can put + 50 or something in that range on it and "only" have to add the additional points with Alexandrites? The patch notes are yet again a Riddle lol.

This is how I interpret it:

When you complete Nexus, all your Novus' secondary stats will be adjusted to i115 levels, this will be a true i115 weapon. If you decide to redo the stats on the nexus, the secondary stats will be 'pulled' off of the Nexus to reform the same Sphere Scroll that was originally used for the Novus (75/75). Now you can replace materia one at a time to get your desired stat spread. When the scroll is reapplied to the relic (still 75/75) the stats will again be adjusted to i115 levels.

Also players who allotted 31 Determination, should probably expect that the stat weights will be brought into line as the relic continues it's upgrade process.
At i110, a crit/det Relic may be 44/31(75 points) compared to a Soldiery being 31/31 (62 points, Book of Spades), but at i115 the same relic "might" still be 44/31.
We'll find out for certain soon enough. If this is the case, a crit/det relic will still be BiS for stat weights, but we'll see materia prices for Savage Might IV come back down to more reasonabe levels since Determination won't be 'breaking' relic stat weights permanently.
