Discuss new relic upgrade

[Kiara1]

If I got this right, we do stuff like dungeons and when we get enough soul thingies we will be able to upgrade it?

I love it if that is how it works.

We can use this thread to discuss and tell eachother what we have found out about the upgrade.

I did roulette trial and got Garuda HM, seems everyone else had the same thought so we were 8 ppl all in our shiny ilvl 105+ gear and beat Garuda so faast haha

When we beat her I got the text "Thyrus Novus emits a gentle light." so it is working.
I assume harder trials give more to the progress, it would be a way for older players to do EX trials again.

Now I need to go so I can't try doing a dungeon but please share anything you've figured out here!

I actually for awhile said that I thought atma should have involved spiritbond. Obv something like 50-100% for one atma. Time consuming (like they wanted), non-random (like we wanted) and overall a neat concept. Sad it wasn't applied to atma (0/12 oops...) but glad to see it implemented now.

I won't be working on it but good luck to all of you who are. If the difficulty of the encounter factors in, I imagine t4 will once again become a popular destination.

Hmmm to bad I won't be able to help out healing in drtrials then anymore as I'm only taking my bow anywhere higher than zenith. Atleast not until atma drops like candies and I don't need to do insane infusions for novus.

Hmm, wonder if doing Coil2 with your Novus will be a good idea...

Well, Novus is my BiS right now so...

EDIT: PPL already did a t6 and got "Blinding light" "upgrade".

EDIT 2: "Newborn star" status from finishing ST

Syrcus Tower makes Novus "shine with the light of a Newborn Star".

So seems Syrcus grind is the best immediate option.

So far i have seen:

Feeble<Gentle<Brilliant<Blinding<Newborn Star.

Feeble from Fates, and some Trials.
Gentle from some Trials.
Brilliant from Expert Roulette.
Blinding confirmed in T6 & T7.
Newborn Star in ST.

Just completed a Tam-Tara Deepcroft, got the message "The Artemis Bow Novus emits a blinding light!", guess its a start.

Anybody repeated the same content yet to see if the message changes? I'm guessing this:

A weapon’s soul attunement level will rise by a set amount determined by the activity being performed. This amount, however, may increase each time a certain period of time passes.

means each thing has a daily/weekly reset, and these first messages are the "increased" amount after reset.

This already sounds more fun than any of the proivous steps(with the exception of the first relic step with the primals). Anyone did any EXs yet? How is it on original and mog, levi, ramuh ex?
