Upgrading to novus - iDownload - 01-17-2015
How did you guys manage to get your Novus? Just Pure Fate farming or did you use some other minion tools to make it easier?

I did purely fate farming in low level areas - took a few days - I wasn't in any rush

My bad - I was mixing up Novus & Nexus - For Novus Alexandrite I did dailies and hunts - not much minion help here. I did let it run overnight on fates and got ~2 per night (horrible drop rate...)
Sorry - this was a bit of a grind for me.
Nexus on the other hand only took a few days fate grinding :)

Don't forget, you have 2 retainers. stick a map in each retainer, then recap soldery. Let's you spend the full 2k soldery in one go. Then can either burn 4 maps, or recap and burn 8 at once.
And while not minion dependant, jump on any S rank hunts for "free" alex from seals.

Patch notes for tomorrow:
The drop rate for Alexandrite when completing a FATE with a gold rating while equipped with an animus, novus, or nexus weapon has been increased.
RE: Upgrading to novus - rsilva712 - 01-19-2015
if it bumps up to the same rate as atma, that will mean you can fate farm your alex in about a week if you don't want to do maps. Unless RNGus smiles upon you.
