Discuss new relic upgrade

[gamesmart]

According to the Novus/Nexus reset description, you don't have to re-do the whole process, all stats will be transferred to a clean sphere scroll, so then you remove each stat individually, re-meld the new stats and re-apply them to the Novus/Nexus.

If this is correct, this is the BEST relic upgrade yet.

I've just tested it...this is indeed the case. Your Novus also retains the stats even after you transfer them into the sphere scroll.

Are you... telling me *twitch* that I could have just loaded up my Novus *twitch twitch* with any level, any substat Materia... and I could have *tremble* saved over 10 MILLION GIL by just halfassing it like everyone else...?!

Well original post says you have to RE-MELD the stats, so no, we have not wasted our money/time in it.


for reference, the original post

So let's say you infused:

44 Crit
24 Det
10 Acc

now let's say you want to reallocate the 10 accuracy points in order to cap Determination, you should:

1. remove the 10 points of Accuracy [for free];
2. infuse 2 DetIII and 8 DetIV materia to the scroll
3. re-bond the scroll to your Novus Weapon.


At least that is what I get of it.

Can you explain a little more on what you did? I'm still confused?

For example. You have Det and Skill speed on your novus capped. You want to replace the Skill Speed with Crit. What do you do? Do you loose alexandrite? Do you need new CRIT Materia to replace with? Thanks

You buy a new sphere scroll (3 enchanted ink, 1500 myth), go to Ja-something in North Shroud, choose to readjust the stats of your novus, give him the relic and the clean sphere scroll and he will transfer the stats to the scroll, now go back to central thanalan to the NPC who sells the scrolls and he will be able to remove one infusion from your sphere scroll (repeat until you remove the amount you need) and then, using alexandrite and materia re-infuse the stats you need, go back to Ja-something and he will update the stats of your weapon.

EDIT yeah exactly what Guevara said, I overcomplicated it lol

The next question I guess is what happens once you've got your new desired stats. If you've obtained nexus, will it jump back to nexus or will you have to grind again?

No I don't think you have to grind again, the explanation for Nexus doesn't say anything about losing your progress, BUT when you get the stats transferred to the scroll you will work with i110 stats, not i115, after you're done and re-infuse it your new stats will be boosted to i115.


I'm speechless, they really made it so we can re-customize our novus/nexus without gating it behind a massive grind (maybe it's a hint that nexus itself will be a massive grind?)





Also thank you for getting rid of the piss yellow glow.

The sphere scroll just gets a direct copy of the relic's stats - and if you want to replace a stat you'll have to remove it from the sphere scroll one by one, so you'll need the alexandrite for the new infusions. Once you're done take relic and scroll back to the guy, and he'll overwrite the relic's stats with the scroll's stats (I think, haven't done that part yet).

So can you pick and choose which stats you want to change? For example, I accidentally put one accuracy on my novus. Can I remove just that one and put it on another stat?

Yes, it seems at some stage you will be able to change the stats you melded into your novus.
