Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Rednight]

I made a spreadsheet of Novus Infusing Rates...

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...

Hmm, that is interesting. I was going by Shea's posts and prior to 5th meld he wasn't as detailed. You do have 1 piety melded already, so I am wondering if the success rate isn't calculated by materia but by tier. So when people get onto their second stats rather than starting with 100% they start on like 60%. That would change things a lot as you would be wanting to apply the most expensive materials first


If anyone is going to post their meld success rates, can they state the total melds as well as the progress of the current stat?

thats where you went wrong. Shea is doing stardust rod.

The Det cap on Thyrus and Stardust rod is both 31, so requiring the same amount of each tier of materia so you would think it would have the same rates. Unless for tier 1, instead of 100-100-94-80-70-60-50 it is 100-94-88-80-60-50, which would make sense of the data. Anyone else melding Det first? (Thanks above poster. Will update spreadsheet for Det)

The much lower rates compared to melding Acc/Crit etc is interesting. Cause Det melds seem to start to decrease after the 1st and 2nd, whereas Crit doesn't decrease until the 7th. Even taking into account the change in amounts (11 vs 7/8) it much steeper
