Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Shaemus_Jodocus]

I have done fates past 2 days 10 hours total and i have gotten 0 alexandrite. i have been wearing my animus and i have jumped through many zones doing it with a friend who needs atma. my friend has gotten 5 atma.. i am looking for people to confirm what zones alex drops from or just to tell me they have at least gotten a drop from a fate... any information on obtaining alex from doing fate would be greatly appreciated.

Something that is still unclear to me..my weapon has 4 stats, 2 main and 2 secondary stats. By upgrading to Novus, is it possible to add a fifth stat or better said a 3rd secondary stat? Or can I only replace the 2 secondary stats I have on it? I am not sure, in the quest they said something about 5 scrolls or something.

You can add any combination of stats that are listed on your scroll, up to a maximum of 5 types of stats. The number that they cap at will lower as you increase the variety of stats.

so regardless of the materia grade, every upgrade will only result in +1 to the stat. So pretty much you need 75 alexs to complete the novus.

how do people still do that?

Until yesterday, I've done 6 hours fate farm for only 3 alexandrite, and this morning I just hit one fate before going to work and got one...
RNG is madness!

@Shaemus_Jodocus : FYI i got 1 in coerthas, 2 in central noscea, 1 in Mor dhona. But you can drop it everywhere.

Excellent, thanks for clarifying.
