Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[mayonnegg]

I can read, yes, thanks, mr. keyboard warrior, but if that is the case then it's just a different system to all other weapon's stats. That was what was making me think it was doubtful, and that the interface was maybe a badly designed red herring rather than strict. Plus people on the internet like to make stuff up, it's kind of a thing.

It's cool if it is that way though, you'll be able to get some very specific stat set ups on there. I can meld the exact 4 piety I'd like for my BLM, and healers can max out piety, det, and have loads of spare stats for spell speed or crit or whatever.

There's a lot of green and pink gear with 5-6 stats on it. I'm not nitpicking, I just don't want people to walk away with misinformation.

So....LOL.

You could outfit yourself in all crafted i90 armor for less.
Alright everyone! Let's all work several months and spend millions of gil for a weapon that will, by design, never be the best.
At least while you work towards coil you get "secondary" drops via i110 armor from Coil and interim weapon upgrades. Here you get bat wings and beastkin blood

Ganbatte!!

Frankly, the amount of effort to obtain this weapon is higher than coil ^_^'
Let's be honest, the toughest part about raiding in this game is finding a static.

Hello 75 Alexandrites and 15m gil in rank III and IV materias.....

Gonna be a long...long... process.

[Cyrus-Wallace]

So, higher tiers only... increase the change of success. I don't know what to say. Well, I'll go back to my grind, I need 50 of these Alexandrites...

Edit: 49. Just got one in a FATE.

I guess they decided instead of screwing us on RNG from fate grinding they'd just make us grind gil for months

The community complained about not having a use for gil, and SE listened.

If SE listened to the players not having a use for gil they should have put out Gold Saucer in 2.2, but back on topic; can anyone confirm if there is a cap on materia per scroll? Can we meld all 75 into one or do we have to do one scroll per stat? i.e. 4 scrolls total (2 for main stat and 2 fro sub stats).

I'm on infuse 5-6 now for Det

Infuse 5 is at 70% Grade 1 Materia, won't let me use Grade 2 (failed 2 times)
Infuse 6 is at 60% Grade 1 materia, won't let me use Grade 2 (failed 1 time)
