Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Shaone]

Havent got a chance to read the thread. But according to the patch notes, no weapon damage increase?

Lodestone DB shows them with increased weapon damage.

No idea if this is a stupid question as I haven't read a ton of material on the Novus stuff yet.. So it's impossible to get Novus without melding Materia to a scroll. For instance Curtana. Which by default has STR/VIT/Parry/ACC - If I want to keep those same stats, I have to Meld Parry and ACC to it? Since I believe those are the secondary stats? Sounds silly..

Or if I want I could change those stats into something else?

Not even the high allegan pieces add up to 75 secondaries?

I count 78 on the H. Allagan weapons, makes sense to me since the ilv difference is minimal.

It's lower on ones with determination I think. I'm starting to get a creeping feeling that determination isn't going to be allowed on Novus. Hope I'm wrong.

Like I said before, I honestly think it boils down the stats you pick to add (the combination). How it usually works is, for example, High Allagan spear has 64 combined total of secondary stats. This is due to the fact the primary stats have increased. As the primary stats increase, the combined amount of the secondary stats decreases.

Which is why I would be shocked if you can have 75 combined with det/crit. It doesn't make sense, not in this phase of the saga.

Cool, thanks for the info. I forgot to check DB. Was just going by the patch notes gae bolg example.

Back to class for 3 hours ;_;

oall the people wondering why this was delayed. It was Stated from the Devs, alot of people were not complete Animus so essentially, they delayed out of nicety. They already knew what this was going to be and had it ready. Basically, Yoshi didn't have his Animus yet so we all got a little more time before the next step.

On another note this totally looks like if the alexandrite is just a catalyst and we need normal Materia not special Materia, shit is like Gil spammers dream come true! GOOD LUCK economies!

On Ragnarok you can see materia lv4 being sold for one mil. This has the potential to end up being worst than atma.

Price increase is almost always like that for an needed Item and will drop steady over weeks. If people think they are forced to buy it on the first day, then yea.. good gil sink right there. If people will wait with buying, the price will drop. People dictate the price, not the system.
