Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Zumi]

Anyone get alexandrite from a fate yet?

[Erudain]

Well I guess it'll take time and theorycraft...but I would like some clarification:

The Gae Bolg Animus in the patch notes screen has ACC+40 and CRIT+28.
After using the Sphere Scroll it has SKS+31 and CRIT+44

That means he lost his ACC? or do they add up?
I don't think the resulting weapon would have ACC+40 and CRIT+28 as base bonuses plus "additional bonus" of SKS+31 and CRIT+44

it loses everything and you have to meld every single point of 2 stats of your choice into it

Crit on Omnilex, here I come. I already have a buttload of det and crit materia. I don't have tons of level 4's though...so hopefully that's not required or else I may end up SBing during dungeons, because the main SBing spot will likely be spammed or taken over by bots.

are the maps soloable?

There is another thread going right now with a SMN who soloed his map and died. Lost his chance for Alexandrite for the day.

He did say he could have beat it, but got blind-sided by 4 bombs that all self-destructed on him and he died instantly.

Just did mine solo, Think I was lucky cause the 4 mobs only did line/conal AoE moves no auto attacks.

Damn looks like I will be teaming up then.

I am interested if you even can team up? Has it been confirmed, or is it set-up like boarskin maps?

IDK I was going to try and team up but I didn't want to wait. Also if you can't team up then maybe SE really wants us to go back to doing fates?

Just helped 2 friends do the maps in parties.
Confirmed you can be in a party while doing the map and they can help you.

from another thread.
