Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[mayonnegg]

First one I did was a golem and it had 2 sets of bomb adds too, 2 flares on each made short work of them, but the golem itself hit relaitively hard, had to do pause attacking to heal up a couple of times. But I jut did another and it was 2 'slipjaw ogres' and it was really not hard. lots of aoes to get out of.

Any news on whether you can get alexandrite from any fates? Or if just happens to be the same places as atma. Nothing indicates it would be, but I thought I'd check.

I lost my 2 maps today..... 1st one went BLM and was a Morbol that Bind you for 30s then Breath II you where u can pretty much do nothing for 30s and he repeat that over and over and u have no chance has a BLM (So this fight would have been SMN to go)...

2nd Map i went SMN and it was a cyclone mob, which was ok till he pop 6-10 adds every 15s.. where smn cant keep up with enough AOE dps to kill adds fast enough for re-spawn and keep yourself and pet alive.

I feel like i wast a whole day for nothing :/

So I got one Alexandrite and haven't even bought a Materia lol 350k. Anyways I seen someone saying something about tier 1 materias, Do you need to buy 75 materias 31/44 tier 1's or do you need materia that equals out to 31/44? I assume you just need to buy materia to equal 31/44, Because 75+ Alexandrite would be crazy to get.

I can confirm that you can do it with 2 or more people. BUT only the one who opened get the alexandrite.

Does anyone know what the customizable stat spread is for Curtana and Holy Shield? 65/10 or something maybe?

so i am reading the Novus weapon section in the patch notes. and notice for the melee weapon, the Gae Bolg, they replace accuracy for skill speed. and also happen to read that for the Thyrus Animus and Omnilex Animus the accuracy will NOT replaced. now this seems kind of confusing for me. and though i suppose it depends on your other gear if the ACC is worth-while trade-off for Skill Speed. but i have always been under the impression Accuracy is more important for melee then casters. yes more scrolls will be ready at a later date. but +40 ACC is a lot to lose it seems to me.

or am i missing something?

Healers will keep their accuracy because, for them, it's a bonus stat that helps to stop them missing hopelessly often, rather than being an important stat to max for jobs that expect to reliably hit things every time, I'd think.

As for losing it on your weapon - it depends on the cap for what you're doing and the rest of your gear. It's important to have enough that you don't miss, but a waste to have any more than that.

right no doubt. it's just strange for me. because my main is WHM. and i have never once noticed an attack miss. not even at low levels. though i have noticed at lower level any physical user had accuracy issues. heck this is FF, i did not think magic could even be evaded. or was that blocked? it's one or the other. :/ ah well. if you don't need the accuracy, there isn't much to talk about anyhow thank you for the response.

More or less; healer weapon accuracy stays put because it's an extra "free" stat so that healers can be slightly more effective when it comes to landing dots or DPSing in hard content (since they don't otherwise gear for accuracy). That accuracy doesn't affect the stat budget for the other stats on the item. Basically, you still have 75 other stat points to customize, even with the accuracy there.
