Novus weapon upgrade system findings

About the Alexandrite from FATEs, Yes, it does drop. Two friends were doing fates at Aleport area after fed up with myth runs, one of them got lucky and got it.

I'm guessing you can only get maps And alexandrite if you have an animus weapon? I I don't even have my Atma weapon. I don't want to be left behind like. Would be cool if I can stock up on it.

Since map (both quested and myth bought) can only be gotten after you do a certain quest that requires you have animus, that's not an option for you.
Alexandrites from FATEs are also not an option by the patch notes that say they can only drop if you have an animus equipped.

The only thing left for you is to collect materia.

bah. I have 8 Atma man this is going to be long. I have to much materia lol. I think I'll make money and worry about this later. I don't mind spiritbonding gear. Thanks for the reply

the in-game explanation for this weapon are SO BAD!

I stated several times that I don't mind grindy stuff, I actually liked the Atma-Animus proccess. However, I have mixed feelings about this one. If you improve the scroll POINT BY POINT through 72 Alexandrites (If you're lucky, because the % drops with each attempt) and making sure you're stacking the RIGHT stats in the weapon...

I know it's a long process and I don't want this weapon handled so easy. If I think about it, getting the ilvl 110 sold weapon or, even beating the final boss in T9 and getting its weapon, is easier than this. If they include the sands and oils drops in the actual CT, getting the ilvl 110 weapon will be a lot easier for most people. Now, let alone the materias, if these are tier 1 only, you can easily spiritbond low level gear, but... if you go 1/1 with the maps (Dailies and myth farming), you need like 28.800 myth tomes and 36 daily quests. It doesn't sound so terrifying considering the fact that SE wants this quest to be a time sink between patches and I will probably do it!!! I hope things go better when they make the Alexandrite a most frequent drop.

From all the stuff ive read, along with all the stuff ive heard from in-game peeps while i was logged on...the quest seems like a waste of time lol. I'll just get a high allagan weapon as i already have the i110 tome weap(grp beat t9 for first time last night). When they make it upgradeable again to 120 or whatever I'll just use high allagan to get the next tome weap that'll be 120 and upgrade it like the i110 tome while on the path to the next highest weap available only from last coil turn.

I mean yea you dont really need the high allagan weapon to defeat any content, but ya dont need the novus for that matter either. I'll pass on choosing secondary stats for the 2nd highest ilvl weap if this is what it costs xD

i like the look of the stardust rod, but this is kinda ridiculous, even if you dont have to do it soon or right away. To those that will do it, more power to ya. Or less power i guess, since you wont be the highest ilvl weap despite all that time T_T.

Novus weapon upgrade system findings...

It sucks.
Those are my findings.

You'd think they would have learned something by now, from the Atma/Animus nonsense.
Ah, well.

I don't think it's 75 alex/infusions guys. If you looked at the example in patch notes the stats added up to 75. Now you start out with +1s, but then you get +2s etc.. so it might only be 20 or so infusions? We don't know for sure just yet. The % might only drop for each stat, though it's getting low scary fast. Next infusion I do i"ll pay attention to the % to give a good hard #. I'm also worried i'm doing osmething wrong or that it's bugged atm only letting us do +1s. This is most likely paranoia though.
