Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[blowfin]

Something people are being blinded by is their own ideas about what this quest will ultimately come down to as far as how different or similar the Novus is compared to the other weapons in the game currently. None of us are actually saying "Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry will cap at 44 and after that Det/Pie can only cap at 22. We are only saying that you should not get your hopes up that you WILL get 44 Crit/Acc/SkS/SpS/Parry and 31 Det/Pie. What's actually going on here is people are getting butthurt that they may not get this and they refuse to believe that.

Um, the screenshot released with 2.28 CLEARLY showed that a sphere scroll had 44/31 infused on it and that the weapon would receive those exact stats.

You can meld up to 75 stat points (of 5 different types) on your Novus. Regardless of materia tier, it's 1:1. It's pretty damn clear if you've actually been following people who've been working on Novus.
