Novus Meld Failure - Remove Please

[Jerichai]

You, like many others, are making a very fundamental mistake. You are trying to value a novus weapon. A novus weapon will only cost as much money as the player is willing to spend on it. Which can range from 0 to upwards of millions of gil. Or if you feel you need to spend gil for materia, you can at least break even by selling unwanted materia obtained from spirit bonding.

I'm not trying to value Novus. Personally, I'm not bothering with the relic questline because I value my enjoyment of FF14 to taint it with RNG riddled slog-fests that provide no skillful challenges or encourages large group play (outside of randomly cobbled together FATE groups or SB parties). This is of course a personal view point, and if you enjoy the kind of activities in the Atma to Novus levels of relic advancement, more power to you.

What I am trying to say is the gil or time required to achieve what people have dubbed an 'optimal' Novus is still a fairly large investment. I just get tired of people throwing out terms like 'hand-outs' because some people dare to suggest slightly less punitive RNG systems.
