Novus Meld Failure - Remove Please

[Jubez187]

Doesn't matter, Novus isn't required to do any content. It's extra credit. You can't complain that extra credit work is too hard.

Who's complaining? Certainly not I. I'm putting in a request. It's a GAME with DEVELOPERS who make CONSCIOUS DESIGN DECISIONS.

PLAYERS may make REQUESTS that they think may BENEFIT the GAME.

Sure, it isn't required. But neither are Hunts. Neither is playing the GAME. PERIOD.

Doesn't mean a person can't make a suggestion they feel would make for a better game experience.

Believe it or not, some people want every aspect of their games to be the absolutely best they possibly can be. To promote the most enjoyable experience possible with regards to every facet of the gaming experience. This includes "optional content", which isn't every part of any game optional?

I want the best for every little part of this game.

I don't know how people can justify spending 10 million+ on a weapon that isn't BIS, and even if it was it's a weapon that will be outdated within 3 months with patch 2.4 easy content. No doubt Shiva weapon will be i115. I decided to meld no tier 4s in my Novus and I found that expensive enough - 2 million gil wasted. Melding tier 4s is insanity.

Recall that many ppl said they could not justify spending 13500 myth on the books?
It was the same case, now everyone just say don't know how to spend their myths while it caps everyday.

...I want my Novus, I just think it's a tad much having even a chance to lose Grade IV's which are a huge cost alone. I'm still going to get the weapon, but I'm going to share with SE how I think the process could be improved upon.

In gerneral I ageee with op, I have the same thought when novus was released.
But I think it don't need to be removed and apparently it will not be removed.
Actually infusion failure so bad is because those popular materia4 are too expansive as everyone need them.
Therefore I think they can increase the supply of those popular materia4, (i.e. dungeon drop, retainer venture...theat everyone have access)
I think it would lower the price of those popular materia4 on the MB and resolve the problem of too expansive.
For the no one want materia4, players can just use them to play the 5to1 lucky-draw... ^^;

Moreover, imagine the boss dorp is not a filtered water but a DET materia4, how good is that!

If you think the price for rank IV materias are out of your budget, then don't do it. They make very minimal (almost insignificant) difference. Just max up to rank 3 for 2 stats and maybe 1 or 2 rank IVs for 100% melding.

It was a good suggestion, if everyone listen to it, the price will drop definitely.
But I think most ppl still want to +44/31 unless , as you have mentioend, out of budget..., however, ppl actually very rich...^^;

So you thought just because you get dungeon gear and don't craft that you would be saved from the pains of materia...THINK AGAIN!

If you consider the materia market at the end of 2.21 this was a brilliant play as there was little to no reason to buy battle materia still and adding in new jewerly would only do so much. So piety, spell speed, and parry would once again be worth gil and not throw away items. And because of a failure rate spread across the server it gives a specific need to the risk and the gil proportional to the risk because of the large reward if you succeed. Sure DET and CRIT topped the charts but that has always been true of the melding game. Trust as a person that has many failed melds it's a solid system that pulls the right levers even if it stings when the system works correctly.

Anyone know what gear has better chance to convert into Savage Aim/Might IV?

I have had the best luck with black pearl and zircon.

I agree. While Grade IV's aren't required, the work of earning a Grade IV whether by Gil Purchase or SB should be sufficient enough to merit its use in the Novus Relic.
