=> Animus upgrade requires you to refer to ancient records and attempt to perform similar deeds done by the Zodiac twelves, which is killing similar monsters the twelves have slayed.
=> In Novus questline, the NPC told you that your weapon is very much powered up and the only way forward is to use a special method of materia infusion using a sphere scroll, and light bending Alexndrite, harnessing the power of battle-class materias into the weapon.

What would the next step be? I don't think it is Demi-materia because it is totally about crafting. Novus make use of materia but they are battle-class materias, different from demi-materia which have no meaning in battle terms.

I can't really tell what is the next most sensible story to the next upgrade, but there is certainly one that made sense story-wise but would be quite a hell to do.

Spiritbond your Novus weapon to 100% - creating such a strong bond with your weapon that is essential to further its growth.

And guess what? IL110 gears only spiritbind in SCoB.

GGWP if this is what comes next.

I made my Novus the week right before Patch 2.3 and so far it is only 28% spiritbonded
