Alexandrite FATE drop increase?

...but if I have my novus equipped on PLD alexandrite will still drop?

FATE-based drops like this depend on what weapon you have equipped at the time. If Novus can drop Alexandrite once, it can always drop Alexandrite. So you're good to go.

You missed the question entirely. I didn't know if Novus could or could not drop alexandrite. Zenith will only drop atma and once you upgrade no more atma. So I was asking for verification whether novus could or is there an upgrade point where alex no longer drops.

I did test and my Novus did collect alexandrite. But now does a zodiac weapon still collect alexandrite?

Ayup. Was getting Alexandrite on my Zodiac while doing FATEs inbetween queues when the instance servers were being hammered, and I've been getting them with a Zeta as well.
