Novus weapon upgrade system findings

IMO it depends on the cap. I mean, the 4 tiers can be splitted between the maxium stat cap. For example:

Stats with a 44 cap (11 materia/tier)
Stats with a 31 cap (7/8 materia/tier)

Curtana and Holy Shield are the exception here, because they have different caps compared to a full weapon, so they maybe need less materias in order to get a higher tier.



Curtana needs 53 Alexandrites and the Holy Shield needs 22 Alexandrites =75 total. I'm upgrading my Curtana first.

This theory makes a lot of sense

if true then determination will be 7/8/8/8. Not 7 or 8 across the board because you can't divide 31 by 4 into a whole number.

Requiring at least 8/11 tier 4s is just insane. I pray this isn't the case or Yoshi is out of his freaking mind.
