Novus weapon upgrade system findings

Surely you can't do Piety. You will probably be able to do 44 in a stat and 31 in the other (75 total).

Need 1500 Myth right away in the quest (more after that ?), then we need materia, only we don't know what materia works, and how many.... With the prices, I won't be able to afford it. This turning out to be quite a kick in the balls...

Relax. You can only infuse grade 1 materia at first, it will be awhile(think weeks) before you need the higher grades. People speculating materia are dumb lol. I'm selling all mine while the prices are high.

Curtana stat cap is 53, Holy Shield is 22.

The servers went down for maintenance before I could open my first map coffer, was it tougher than peiste maps? Similar? Or was any combat involved at all?

I did 2(mine and my buddies). The Alexandrite is always given to the map holder. Mine was easy Golem plus bombs. His however had the cheesiest Molboro ever, as it casted bad breath it bound him for 30 seconds making sure to hit him with it unless you silenced the attack. I would say they were still easy.

Surely you can't do Piety. You will probably be able to do 44 in a stat and 31 in the other (75 total).

Yes you can do PIE as a stat.

You know what would be really funny? If it would only work with tier I and all those people who did empty the wards allready and bought tier IV for 5 Mil+ total, will now sit on them like this:

Maybe we should start buying up all the Materia I ^^

A Novus just comes with two primary stats. Then no secondary. Scroll is used to apply the two secondaries.

Ok, now I am completely lost. My Novus BLM staff has INT and KON as main stats and DET and SS as 3rd and 4th stats. I thought these stats (DET/SS) can be changed/replaced or is it so that you have SIX stats if you upgrade to Novus? Can't imagine it to be this way although it would rock.

Change imagehosts please, that one's godawful. Couldn't look at the image without enabling what probably was an irritating flash ad.

Det and SS can either be replaced with different (secondary) stats, or an alternate value of themselves. Your choice.

Also, since the grade I meld in the SS above only added 1 progress (instead of savage aim I's value of 2)

...it is safe to say a complete novus will require 75 materia, 75 alexandrite.

It looks like FFXI relic quest to me ... so long, expensive and boring that most people won't even bother.
But in FFXIV, people do bother and then they do moan and complain and whine and maybe riot ?

Because FFXIV doesn't have the same level of content as XI.

It isn't confusing. All secondary stats (except accuracy for healer weapons) will be replaced by whatever is on your scroll. The primary stats get upgraded when you finish the quest.
