Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Pomelo]

Weren't they implementing the desynth thing?
I don't see why sands/oils can't be obtained through that?

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

This was clear from the start, since it should have been well known that Relics will be always upgradeable. So they will overcome Soldiery Weapons earlier or later. If people really going to rage over that, since it was more than obvious, then idk man lol.

In fact it is already known long ago. When the quest line came out it is already said that the weapon, in its final form will allow players to customize its secondary stat.

There shouldn't be a complain thou.

While I do wish that I could desynch my Rosenbogen to recover the sands, but I did enjoy my pretty bow for as long as it last.

Edit: A quick summary of data mined info:

Quest starts at Jalzahn, you have to go talk to the materia people in Central Thanalan. You have to buy 3 Superior Enchanted Inks from Rowena for Allagan Tomestones of Mythology to obtain your Sphere Scroll. Sphere Scroll has to melded to the stats you want on your Relic Novus, up to 75 secondary points in total have to melded before you can obtain your novus. To meld to the sphere scroll you need to get Alexandrite, which can be obtained from

1) Allagan Tomestones of Mythology, buying Mysterious Maps from Rowena and completing them gives Alexandrite
2) Completing FATEs with Animus Equipped

Sphere Scroll melds CAN fail, they start with 100% success rate but will drop as you meld more materia. Once you have melded all the stats you can hand over Animus and Scroll to obtain your Novus.
