Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[ShinkuTachi]

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

As a fellow MNK, what do you think will be the optimal stats to go for with this, if we have to pick two separately?

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.

Hmm that seems interesting, who dug out that image lol.

Cos so far it is know than determination have a higher "cost" per point of stat compared to acc/crit/ss. That's why you always see more acc/crit/ss than det in every piece of gear.

So far based on costs, we have seen combinations like 44 crit 31ss, 44ss 31crit which does add up to 75 points, but when determination is involved it is always lower than 75. For example, 31 det allows 31 crit to be paired with it or 21 det 44ss. Unless Novus changes this outright.

well if we can use any level of materia then that's not as bad, though I'm have to temporarily stop leveleing my crafts and sale a ton of mats so I can have room to spirit bond all this crap

Well if you mess up, you can infuse a new scroll

Not until a later patch

Not until a later patch

Later patch is for Novus... presumable the scroll can be replaced if you screw up before that...

not sure if someone replied, but no. if you mess up and dont like the stats you put on it, you are stuck with it till later update.

The NPC that sells the scroll can also remove infusions from your unfinished scroll.
If, however, you have applied the fully infused scroll and converted your weapon into a Novus, you are stuck until later update.

As far as I can tell, you could even throw away your current scroll and buy a new one to start from scratch until you upgrade the weapon.
