Noct gear

[JonBigwood]

Hello, sorry if the information is somewhere, I don't find it.

Are the Noct gear and upgrade of the Weathered Noct gear that we will be able to do? (Or are already able to do?)

By the name, it's clear that the Animus weapons will be (or are?) an upgrade of the Atmas, so also by the name I guess the Noct will be an upgrade of the Weathered Noct, but I have not seen information about that. Up to now only the weapons and shields had upgrades. By the way, there's a Noct and Weathered Noct shield besides the Curtana Animus and Curtana Atma shield.

Thanks in advance.

From what I can tell there seems to be an item (pending release) that is an oil purchased with Soldiary tomes (Again, not certain of sources here). This oil is said to "turn back the effects of time" so I'm assuming that'll mean turning weathered into pimp.

Weathered left side armor and weapon is upgraded with Sands of Time which can be found in Coil 8 (one drop per clear).
Weathered right side armor and shield is upgraded with Oil of Time which can be found in Coil 7 (one drop per clear).
Animus is the upgrade of Atma and Animus is on par with the Weathered Weapon.
The weathered weapon can only be acquired with the allagan stone which is also a Coil 7 drop.

Result: If you wanna have any 110 gear, you have to clear Coil 6 upwards. So seeing someone in 110 Gear maybe an indicator now that he is not a complete dumblord in playing his class, because Coil 6 and stuff is hard.

As another result, all Coil 5 Weaponholders can only have a weapon upgrade if they either:

- do the grinding task till Animus
- Clear Coil 7 (+8) and have luck on rolling need against the other group members
- Farm Levi Ex until they got the weapon including the rare drop to upgrade the weapon
- Clear Coil 9 and have drop luck

Thanks for the answer! Do you know where you upgrade them? I guess it's Gerold.

IIRC, it's Gerolt's apprentice that you trade the Weathered stuffs to non-weathered gears. He's right next to the Forge.
