Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Cyrus-Wallace]

confirmed 11 materia of each tier per 44 caped stat

Do you know what's the success % of the 11th materia?

Not confirmed.

Reddit has a post of someone on their tier 2 materia after 7 melds.

IMO it depends on the cap. I mean, the 4 tiers can be splitted between the maxium stat cap. For example:

Stats with a 44 cap (11 materia/tier)
Stats with a 31 cap (7/8 materia/tier)

Curtana and Holy Shield are the exception here, because they have different caps compared to a full weapon, so they maybe need less materias in order to get a higher tier.

You need 49? Did you gather 26 pieces allready? O_O

Curtana needs 53 Alexandrites and the Holy Shield needs 22 Alexandrites =75 total. I'm upgrading my Curtana first.

This theory makes a lot of sense

if true then determination will be 7/8/8/8. Not 7 or 8 across the board because you can't divide 31 by 4 into a whole number.

Requiring at least 8/11 tier 4s is just insane. I pray this isn't the case or Yoshi is out of his freaking mind.

Ok, not to be a dickhead, but how about updating that OP, as you said you would, OP? Reading through 42 pages to snipe some tidbits of info seems quite the workload. (And to be honest, I just want to know for the sake of knowing before I start working on my WHM Novus, as I already have the HA weapon on my main spec).

Looks like infusion 8 will be the Grade 2. It says I'm missing alex now for the grade two vice the wrong grade of materia and grade 1 now says wrong type of materia. The chance at success for 7th infusion on +det was 50% (one failure)
Edit: I think tier changes can be estimated (visually seen) by lookign at the glow on the scroll. It appears to be moving towards the bottom left at least for the +Det.

Can't wait for someone to complete this so we know exactly how it works.

I didn't check today but can we have more than one map at a time in our inventory?

Isn't SE doing what everyone wanted though? So many threads about making FFXIV like FFXI and now on this step your able to pay millions just like in XI relics.

This isn't the best weapon. Might have an argument if Yoshi said this weapon is the best and will always be the best.
