Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[HulveinBlitz]

Can't assume because Atma had an item level raise with no weapon damage raise.

Atma/Animus both were ilvl100. Novus is ilvl110. That is a genuine jump, WHICH will merit an improvement in weapon damage. Or it is not ilvl110. Shouldn't expect an increase in weapon damage, on the same thing. The only thing you were doing in the Animus phase, was enhancing stats.

You cant really count Zenith - Atma process. It was pretty much clearly just SE way of starting the process. Nothing really serious, just killed people with grinding fates, lol.

I think his point was, when you change the relic from zenith to atma, the iLevel goes up but weapon damage stays the same, whereas upgrading from a finished atma to animus has no iLevel change, but weapon damage is boosted.

The notes say that it will grant stats befit of an ilvl110, so WD is expected to increase.

Atma have no changes to any stat at all, it's diff.

Is the weapon damage going to be changed too? Or just altered stats?

not sure there is two new zodiac quests

*Celestial Radiance*

then

Star Light, Star Bright
Players must first complete the quest "Celestial Radiance."

so the first part could be stats second could damage/defense for shields.

If Alexandrite is only from the new maps...it looks like I need to level a gathering class *cry*

Doubt it.

One of the reasons for the delay was to open more ways to get the new currency (Alex).

Oooh thank god xD

[HulveinBlitz]

I would say the first is the learning of Alexandrite (gathering etc), second is the scroll, and applying it.

Hmm. I wonder how will some players react after getting sands weapon and now novus might outweigh sol weapon.

The usual, FFXIV official forum rage, and I'm quitting/unsubbing threats that will fall upon deaf ears.
