Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Kuroyasha]

From all the stuff ive read, along with all the stuff ive heard from in-game peeps while i was logged on...the quest seems like a waste of time lol. I'll just get a high allagan weapon as i already have the i110 tome weap(grp beat t9 for first time last night). When they make it upgradeable again to 120 or whatever I'll just use high allagan to get the next tome weap that'll be 120 and upgrade it like the i110 tome while on the path to the next highest weap available only from last coil turn.

I mean yea you dont really need the high allagan weapon to defeat any content, but ya dont need the novus for that matter either. I'll pass on choosing secondary stats for the 2nd highest ilvl weap if this is what it costs xD

i like the look of the stardust rod, but this is kinda ridiculous, even if you dont have to do it soon or right away. To those that will do it, more power to ya. Or less power i guess, since you wont be the highest ilvl weap despite all that time T_T.
