Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[poipoy]

Quest starts at Jalzahn, you have to go talk to the materia people in Central Thanalan. You have to buy 3 Superior Enchanted Inks from Rowena for Allagan Tomestones of Mythology to obtain your Sphere Scroll. Sphere Scroll has to melded to the stats you want on your Relic Novus, up to 75 secondary points in total have to melded before you can obtain your novus. To meld to the sphere scroll you need to get Alexandrite, which can be obtained from

1) Allagan Tomestones of Mythology, buying Mysterious Maps from Rowena and completing them gives Alexandrite
2) Completing FATEs with Animus Equipped

Sphere Scroll melds CAN fail, they start with 100% success rate but will drop as you meld more materia. Once you have melded all the stats you can hand over Animus and Scroll to obtain your Novus.

Is this the real deal? kinda make sense though lol

Well, that's interesting...

[Shinun]

I just wonder now what the % will be. Melding Materia on gear % turns horrid fast.

[Elazu]

So you are basically forced to use high level materia, because the success chance lowers the more you use? Unless the chance will always be higher for lower level ones...

Get myth, get more myth, do fates. Sounds about right

[LunarEmerald]

oh boy. That means you can't just use tier IV's if you have a low chance of success when you're almost at 75.

Get myth, get more myth, do fates. Sounds about right

If you don't want to do FATEs, wait until patch 2.3 to do the Hunts and other things they have planned to acquire alexandrite.

Don't get me wrong I'm just observing. The relic progression quest has never interested me so I don't have a horse in this race.
