Novus weapon upgrade system findings

He is on his 8th fuse and still at 100%. By the 4th fuse some people reported to drop to 80% successful rate

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.

Which zone? How long? What time was it? Omg let's crafting a theory. But seriously, I'd like to know if zones outside current atma zones can drop them.

hmm as what ive been hearing you will be able to spend on alex's via MYTHOS..... so where did you get the idea that it will be based on gil

Central Thanalan is a good spot. I got 2 Alexandrites there. A lot of short FATEs that can be solo'd if there's no one playing there. Monsters that will die with 2 hits. If you don't mind the GC seals or the gil, Central Thanalan is the best spot (for me) for that.

Edit: 3 hours, 2 Alexandrites.

I think they're referring to the possible materia cost.

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

Any idea when we start needing rank 3/4 materia? The quest makes it seem like higher materia are needed to break specific thresholds. IE. you'd only need a rank 3 for every 10, 20, 30th alexandrite ... or something like that.

[sairaus]

confirmed 11 materia of each tier per 44 caped stat

[Giantbane]

confirmed 11 materia of each tier per 44 caped stat

so.... 11 rank 4 to cap a stat? that's awful :/

[Cyrus-Wallace]

confirmed 11 materia of each tier per 44 caped stat

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