That really goes without saying, the ones lucky enough to get on early are gonna have a field day with materia prices.... Amongst the small population that even managed to get an Animus that is.

i feel sorry for the fresh 50s trying to obtain their relic. level 3 materias already jumped up to 600k
People already got in before 5 PDT apparently, prices are shot already and here I am knocking on the server's door crying.
Okay so Sightseeing log is pretty stupid.
Not only do you need to find a particular place conveyed to you through a piece of poetry (narrowed down to the zone), you also need to be there in a particular weather at particular time of the day.
And the reward is a minion.
That's dum.
Out of all the updates, that's the dumberer one.

I bought 11 Heaven's Eye Materia 4 @300k per, put them back up for 555,555 gil each
Gonna see if I can sell these @1mil+
Now I'm getting world data could not be retrieved. Did ultros die completely?
Would have went with materia with real stats myself ^_^

One by one, I noticed people logging out of the game. And by the time I realized what was about to happen, it was already too late for me.
The weather part is kinda annoying, aye, but other than that, duh? What were you expecting? It's good content to kill time.
In a week people will have it filled so if you don't want to play it, just wait for a walktrought.
A reward
Don't know what you were expecting? They do give a reward, it's trash content so it gets a low level reward.
Let's see how many meteor rings and gamblers crowns are on display in dailies from now on
I am guilty.

Well GAFfers were quicker than me on those...
I mean HEIV's will be worth it to those weapons that have Skill Speed on them and need the Accuracy
From what some people are saying, you can only use lower grade materia at first and you work your way up somehow. Someone on the BG forums got his first Alexandrite and says he can only meld Grade Is for now for example.
It's unclear how exact distribution of materia will work.
Someone did some tests with the +spiritbond items and found them to be pretty crap from what I remember. I can try and find the thread if you're interested, but I'm fairly certain you get much more bang for your buck using HQ melded items you can spiritbond at same time in those slots as well rather than wasting them on +spiritbond gear.Let's see how many meteor rings and gamblers crowns are on display in dailies from now on
I would think only tanks would have an excuse to put accuracy on their novus, any dps doing it is only thinking short term and that's foolish.
Speaking of, has anyone figured out how PLD sword and shield novus works? I always enjoy seeing how SE has to bend over backwards to make that relic work out the same way without extra work.
Yeeeah, probably going to do the same Sadly. Especially since AF2 is going to be a hunting reward in 2.3. Only need to keep a few key pieces for accuracy juggling in Coil. Specifically, belt, the Coil accessories, etc.
Sad, but they were mostly just taking up space at this point.
Anyhow, just take it one Materia piece at a time. The market may settle in a week or so, and we still don't know just how easy it is to get Alexandrite.

The BLM buff is here!
It's more demand from spiritbonding parties
Would be surprised if this is actually true but "lol SE" and all that. They're probably being dicks about it since your first couple melds are 100% chance and then that chance starts getting slimmer. I'm sure they'd love to see materia IV's and gil just vanish from the game.
We know though?
Buy mysterious treasure maps for 800 myth, or get the same maps daily from expert roulette, or, do fates with animus equipped, or, do daily hunts come 2.3. Sounds pretty easy to me.

Seems like quite a smart way of handling it.

.... Wait
So, at least initially, the higher grade stuff is useless?
Oh lordy, all those people that cleared out the high grade materia market. XD
Yeah, it takes no time at all to Spirit bind lobbies gear. So it's all about farming Alexandrite I guess.
From testing this wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, but HQ melded items are not free. Of course it might be that without gimping yourself (as a party) the runs will be quicker and thus spiritbonding happens faster anyway.
I slept through some of this info.
ACC on weapon is thinking long term. It gives you a nice consistent ACC bonus to work with, so you can mix and match other gear that you can't guarantee due to RNG/tome requirements. If you end up with perfect RNG and get all the gear you want (good luck with that), you may end up a few secondary stats off from BiS but secondary stats are pretty awful as is and it won't amount to much. The flexibility having ACC on your weapon gives should not be underestimated.
Since you need 3 ink for one scroll, seems pretty obvious it'll end up being something like one ink for shield and two for sword with their secondary stat count split. And should be noted you can't get Novus started until you have both animus sword/shield equipped.

So without fate farming it costs 800 myth for one alexandrite? Plus the 1,500 for the scroll. Then the spirit binding/grinding for Gil to afford materia. Which eventually might fail to meld. The only way I could get novus in a timely manner is if I literally quit my job. This is definitely going to be skipped. RIP in piece Sphairai.
Looks like just the roulettes. Definitely going to run my LL now!
CT drops 150, roulettes drop more now, that's it.

From BG Animus Thread:
Also 800 Myth for 1 map for alexandrite?... lolwut?

I'm a BLM so I'm biased. I can sneeze and be at accuracy cap. I'd still rather have damage dealing secondary stats on my weapon, from what I've seen most can get to accuracy caps just from whatever gear you can buy with the tomestones of the month and that may take some time but if the accuracy is coming eventually anyway, I'd rather have this big bonus to damage.

Fuck you too SE.
Edit: Knew I should have saved up some myth, I think I'm logging in with like 100 or so. Bleh.
eh, sounds more fun than fate farming or running tam tara for myth
i'll check it out for myself
what's the minion?
You got me there.
The minion is an Apkallu, one of these mobs that throw fish at you.

Well, guess the Novus relic weapons will finally be able to be BIS
EDIT - Pre-T9, not post T9, my bad.

You do realize this weapon will keep getting upgraded right?
How about for DPS who want to maybe put ACC on their wep helps them out by 2.4
They won't need to swap out gear to reach cap, the wep might cover them there
As flexible Novus is trying to be, holy shit does it look like an archaic way of reaching it
If you took that JP players blog about mechanics and the different version of players playing this, this isn't helping furthering them along
Bugger. Oh well, at least I know and can go to town on myth gear. The cap is still 2000 isn't it?
Yes, and every single time, you'll be able to redistribute what stats you have on the weapon. Accuracy is not an issue now, no need for it now. Maybe it will be later when the next upgrade to this comes so I can reevaluate then.

Not really
i115 High Allagan Weapons will still be king for another month and a half
Wep DMG > All Stats
Maybe 2.3 will even them up and Novus will surpass them with the tinkering of stats
Seems like the myth farm is optional, you can get one map daily from a quest as well as buying the map for myth. So if you want you can go the slow and steady route.
Not sure how, High Allagan will still be superior. Even if there is slightly subpar secondary stat allocation for certain classes, the extra primary and weapon damage makes up for it.
High Allagan gear in general is a pipedream for 98% of players, but BiS is BiS.
