In my case my sphairai will be 42str 47 vit 31det and 44 of other stats since I've only put 15 infusion in det so far. Its no guess either. That's a fact!

The best way to look at this is.... why would the Novus secondary stats = more than High Allagan.... Look at the High Allagan Kite Shield, PAR 13, DET 6.... If the stats on the Novus are 1 to 1 then you would be able to get PAR 13 and DET 9... I am pretty sure they wouldn't give you more secondary stats on a Novus than you would get on the High Allagan. You could also look at High Allagan Spear CRIT 32 and DET 32, it would make no sense for the Novus to have CRIT 44 and DET 31. You could make the argument that High Allagan weapons have more damage and main stats to make up for it... but following all previous weapon progression it doesn't make sense for a Novus to have better secondary stats when compared to a High Allagan

Again, all is speculation, but I tend to lean on the side that if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

So.... he made a Noct Hoplon with balanced rate and strength....

I don't see how it would be unclear. Each materia Shea has added has given him +1. Seems very obvious to me.

Except both of his stats are not capped. We all know you can put 31 Determination on an i110 weapon, see Book of Spades. The question is does that leave you with 44 or 31 crit.

false information

Unless you have proof, what you think and what I/Donjo think have equal weights. Either can be the false information.

And the Theory was already proven to be wrong

Please direct me to where this has been proven either way.

Your spreadsheet says 100% success rate for the first three melds of Det on Thyrus.
I can confirm that (at least for me) the success rate droped to 94% just after the first meld.
So it seems to be random...

I think my 2nd infusion succes rate was the same as you.
Was more like 100, 94, 88, 80, 70. (not sure about the 3rd one)

Infuse 23 for Det Savage Might Grade III on Sphere Scroll: Stardust Rod. Chance 50% Result: +1 Det
Infuse 24 for Det will rquire Savage Might Grade IV (Do not look forward to failures here)

Total Infusions on scroll: 24
+1/44 Crit
+23/31 Det

just to make sure, you are taking det all the way to 31, right?

Yes, the biggest barrier i'm going to encounter is Materia at this time I think.

just to get it done faster, im somewhat tempted to try and get you more IV materia, that way we can see/know for sure about the whole "do a full infusion, only get 22 det." im going to be doing something similar soon to make a giant push into animus. just gotta stop being lazy about books.
