If the Sphere Scroll is relatively easy to get then this step would be way too easy if you only needed one T4 of each materia.
I would assume that you have to meld the full stats but it doesnt matter how many materia you use for that. So you can either use maybe 5 T4 to reach the cap or just use a ton more T1 materia for it.
Maybe Alexandrite is used as the catalyst for the melding so if you got lots of gil you have to farm less Alexandrite to get this step done.

Gonna need more than two. And I'm pretty sure alexandrite are used to attach materia to scrolls.

Mmm yeah, I guess I agree with that now, but I'm wondering how crazy you can get with the 75 stat points; can you do a little of everything?

**Lokus** · 2014-06-05 04:04

The question then is will Alexandrite use scale to the amount of stats a materia provides or if it will be per materia.

Notice something wrong with that picture.. if its 0/75, erm.. that makes it stronger than the Liberator which has 66 secondary stat points. Book of spades has 62..

Both of those weapons have Determination which caps lower than other stats. Whether the Novus will allow the Determination to cap at the same as other stats who knows, but that's probably the discrepancy you're seeing.

**Lokus** · 2014-06-05 04:25

If the Novus doesn't share the same caps and does allow for full use of the 75 points, then Novus weapons can become the better of the 110 weapons.

**seiji** · 2014-06-05 04:39

unless like atma weapon it still have a ilvl100 dmg rating
or 1det=1.x infusion point

Maybe not we can assume it will but in the description it doesn't talk about Physical/magical attack increase

**Ratatapa** · 2014-06-05 05:07

i'm gonna go 44 crit and 31 Det on my Omnilex to hit the 75

It says the weapon becomes a fully powered i110 so that's a given, basic stats also raise accordingly. I wish they'd let healers raise their acc too....

Where do you see fully powered?

Before obtaining a relic weapon novus, you must first infuse a sphere scroll with materia corresponding to the attributes you wish to upgrade. Once fully infused, present the scroll to Jalzahn and you will be rewarded with a relic weapon novus of item level 110.

The enhancement process will raise your relic weapon animus's strength, dexterity, vitality, intelligence, and mind attributes to a value befitting gear of item level 110. Attributes that remain will be replaced with the ones infused into the sphere scroll. In the case of Thyrus Animus and Omnilex Animus, base accuracy will not be replaced.

**lilbubbles** · 2014-06-05 05:22

If the weapon damage doesn't increase.. the whole thing is a wash and a stupid waste of time. We assuming it does, cause its pointless if it doesn't.

**blowfin** · 2014-06-05 05:27

There's also this from the live letter:

Q: What item level will the novus weapons be?
A: 110.

Can't be 100% sure but, you know... I'm just wondering how much work is required to upgrade.

**Prothescar** · 2014-06-05 05:34

atma weapons are iLvl 100, but the damage doesn't reflect that, so iLvl isn't really enough of an indicator by itself. I'm hoping the damage not being listed in the stats that are upgraded is just an oversight, because yeah... would be really, really, really fucking dumb if not.

**Akiyama** · 2014-06-05 05:37

Don't think we have to worry about weapon damage as the 100>110 transition picture shows the difference in the STR/VIT so that's probably gonna signify the weapon damage as well.

**Prothescar** · 2014-06-05 05:38

maybe, but still smells fishy to me that damage isn't referenced anywhere in the notes. by SE's logic, the gradual increase in stats from Atma to Animus symbolizes the jump from i90 to i100, so the same being true for i100 to i110 would probably be the same... as fucking stupid as that is. we'll see soon enough

Incoming Artemis novus with +75 crit.

**Akiyama** · 2014-06-05 05:45

Gonna go heavy Determination and..maybe accuracy still. There's so much crit on DRG gear.

French notes reference "Les attributs dégâts physiques/magiques," which should be magical/physical damage iirc
JP notes also seem to reference an increase in physical/magic damage, but yeah neither English nor German seem to?

To be fair, they said "replace" so you can't remove the accuracy in favor of something else, but I see no reason why you couldn't add accuracy to the healer weapons. I'm also a little unsure if you can like, add 3 stats totaling 75 or just 2 stats? Either way, idc WELFARE WEAPONS
