Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[Nekodar]

This only applies to situations where the sword has been upgraded to Novus but shield is still Animus?

Just wondering, as I have now spent a good number of hours in fates with my Animus Curtana, but no Alexandrite has dropped yet.

Pretty much. Drops were tied to main hand only, rather than animus in main or off hand. Only applies to PLD too since they are the only DoW/DoM with main and off hand Animuses.

Drop rate is really low for alexandrites from fates, so people may not even have noticed this.
