Novus weapon upgrade system findings

I'm wondering if you need multiple Alexandrite to do higher Materia if nothing comes up on how to do it in a few days.

SE is notorious for typos such as that. I wonder if there is some NA player still looking for his Atma of the Maiden in Central Thanalan.

Where do you get the daily quest for the Maps? o.o

Where do you get the daily quest for the Maps? o.o

That starts with the quest "One Man's Trash" from Ealdwine in North Shroud, next to Jalzahn. It takes you to Brangwine in Revenant's Toll, who gives the repeatable quest. You have to have started the Novus upgrade process first.

I'll save up for 2 Alex's tomorrow and see if this is the case. If it is then I'm going to be slightly annoyed.

So painful.

Died to a morobol menance for my daily alexandrite map. He would stun you before using badmouth. No avoiding it once stunned.

I tried with 2 alexandrites and a T2 materia but it doesn't work. Again, it seems like you have to unlock them by using low tier Materia. Just in case.

Is it just me or is there even more grinding and rng in this single step than the last two combined? O.o I don't think they considered feedback at all, what were they doing these last two delays?

I mean let's think about it for a sec.

Complaints were;

1. No one likes fates
2. no one wants to farm myth anymore(let's be serious those of us with aniums are sick of bray)
3. RNG is the devil

What they added for Novus is;

1. Farm fates for Alexandrite
2. Farm myth (800 each) to farm maps to farm Alexandrite(a daily also provides a map)
3. Intense SB grind to get materia which when converted is RNG whether you get what you want
4. meld materia with alexandrite onto sphere scroll(requiring 900 myth btw) FOR A CHANCE to up your stats
5. (yes the stats are at first 100% but it drops the more you meld turning into pure rng)

It honestly looks like they took fan feedback in order to make something everyone would dislike specifically.


Awrini, name calling isn't necessary, if you disagree, cool. Just don't be childish about it. I'll report you next time.

Well Regardless I'll just stock up on alexandrites this week (hopefully FATES are kind can't really push myself to farm myth after animus just finished last week other then roulette) So hopefully in a few days we'll have more known facts on exactly how to unlock higher Materia
