Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[whoopeeragon]

I'm turning towards the idea of a cap of the possible stats, as it'll revive the I, II and III materia markets. It'll just be more of a pain in regards to alexandrites if they are the ONLY catalyst being used.

And considering that the zodiac weapon saga has done much in terms of 'using' old content and reviving aspects of the game that end-game people don't go to anymore (FATEs, Leves, Dungeons, beastmen strongholds), I wouldn't put it past them to have them revive the lower level materia markets.

So....either spend a ransom or get very lucky when SBing to get IVs and use minimal amounts of alexandrites, or go the safer option and farm up alexandrites to meld more I, II and III materia?

There's no materia V listed under new items, that won't be the materia you need.

because it's already in game? just no convertible items in that lv range yet, to get it....well at least there's Carbonized V as quest reward. (duno about the ilv90 craftables, if they are convertible)
possibly you can get them by de-synth.

I just hope that whatever we infuse into the item itself will be maxed out.

The last thing I want to see is me having a Gae Bolg with DET + 20, Crit + 44, while another guy has DET + 21, Crit + 45

The patch notes does have this line:

Once fully infused, present the scroll to Jalzahn and you will be rewarded with a relic weapon novus of item level 110.

So you probably do have to max out the stats before you can turn it into a Novus.

Yes. This is the problem with having to meet the cap. Especially since we can't reset the stats till a later patch. I'm unsure if they will make this so you can "screw it up"

According to this image, you won't have that problem. 0/75 stats when you obtain it, looking at the patch notes and Gae Bolg, we see that he has 44 Crit and 31 Skill Speed, which adds up to 75.

So I could put 75 determination on my MNK relic? and forego a second, secondary?

Possibly, however the system might impose a specific cap, or have two seperate stats to make sure Novus doesn't out do Gerolt Weapons.

Hey, you know what?

For Novus Veil of Wiyu

If they really able to put 75 points into Novus, Novus SMN will outdo Gerolt Weapons

Gerolt SMN = 31 crit + 31 det

Novus SMN = 31 det + 44 crit

Prove me wrong
