Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[ShinkuTachi]

Quick question friends:

Will I only need to obtain materia for secondary stats?

Like since I'm a MNK, I would only need to worry about getting ACC and SKL-SPD, or should I be reading this differently?

I am scared... materia price is going to explode....

Oh it will and I'm sure that the amount of RMT tells will too.

All items in the game have caps on primary and secondary stats, determined by the ilevel. I don't know the caps for i110, but some existing items probably reach them so see what the highest values you can find are on masterwork weapons and that's probably it.

Oh shame
Determination and Crit then..

I would assume this. I doubt they made it so you can fire up one stat, and ignore the other. I think the biggest question is.. are the melds 100%.. or do they get lower etc.

Materia will certainly skyrocket when the patch launches due to speculation but much like the last patch I doubt those prices will be sustained and the early buyers will probably lose money.

Since the scrolls only concern secondary stats we know right away it will probably just be det and crit, and it's not like they're not already incredibly expensive.

Edit: rather the melds concern secondary stats, since primary seems to be given as part of the infusion.

SpeelSpeed and Crit on a Stardust <3

All into Lightning Resistance.

Come at me Bramuh!

A monk being able to meld 75 det into a weapon would be overpowered as heck, det probably has lower caps than other secondary stats for this reason
