Pre-Requisite

Before beginning to create your Novus Zodiac Weapons, you must have completed your Animus Zodiac Weapon. Through the course of the quest you will need:

This can be obtained from the quest Feature QuestTreasures and Tribulations from H'loonh in Wineport, Eastern La Noscea (X:21, Y:21).

Main Weapon Quest

Feature QuestCelestial Radiance

Starting NPC:
Jalzahn
Starting Location:
Hyrstmill, North Shroud (X:30, Y:19)
  1. Speak with Jalzahn in Hyrstmill (X:30, Y:19) with your Animus Zodiac Weapon equipped. He will explain that it may be possible for your weapon to become stronger with materia but that conventional melding will not work due to the preclusive presence of soul energy.
  2. Travel to Mutamix Bubblypots in The Bonfire, Central Thanalan (X:23, Y:13).
  3. Speak with Mutamix Bubblypots's new disciple Hubairtin in The Bonfire, Central Thanalan (X:23, Y:13). His new technique involves converting the power of materia into a form of light energy. But for Hubairtin to apply the technique he needs some Superior Enchanted Ink.
  4. Travel to Revenant's Toll in Mor Dhona and speak to Rowena (X:21, Y:5), she will tell you to go to Auriana (X:22.7, Y:6.6) to purchase three bottles of Superior Enchanted Ink for Allagan Tomestone of Poetics 25 Allagan Tomestone of Poetics each (Allagan Tomestone of Poetics 75 Allagan Tomestone of Poetics in total).
  5. Return to Hubairtin and hand over the bottles of Superior Enchanted Ink and he will create a Sphere Scroll for your Animus Zodiac Weapon - which will serve as the blueprint for your Novus Zodiac Weapon.

Feature QuestStar Light, Star Bright

Starting NPC:
Hubairtin
Starting Location:
The Bonfire, Central Thanalan (X:23, Y:13)
An example of a completed Thyrus Novus Sphere Scroll
Melding materia onto a Thyrus Novus Sphere Scroll

Jalzahn will then explain the task of building your Novus Zodiac Weapon using your Sphere Scroll. Unlike all other weapon or equipment in Eorzea you have the freedom to customize the secondary stats of your Novus Zodiac Weapon as you like. You need to successfully bind a total of 75 materia to complete your Sphere Scroll in order to create your weapon. Each materia requires a special reagent called Alexandrite. After speaking to Jalzahn, the quest will move to your "completed quest log". Once you have completed your scroll, return to Jalzahn who will finalise and create your new Novus Zodiac Weapon.

Materia

The materia you bind directly affects the stat that is increased:

Stat Materia
Direct Hit Rate Heavens eye materia i icon1.png Heavens eye materia ii icon1.png Heavens eye materia iii icon1.png Heavens eye materia iv icon1.png Heavens' Eye Materia
Skill Speed Quickarm materia i icon1.png Quickarm materia ii icon1.png Quickarm materia iii icon1.png Quickarm materia iv icon1.png Quickarm Materia
Critical Hit Savage aim materia i icon1.png Savage aim materia ii icon1.png Savage aim materia iii icon1.png Savage aim materia iv icon1.png Savage Aim Materia
Piety Piety materia i icon1.png Piety materia ii icon1.png Piety materia iii icon1.png Piety materia iv icon1.png Piety Materia
Determination Savage might materia i icon1.png Savage might materia ii icon1.png Savage might materia iii icon1.png Savage might materia iv icon1.png Savage Might Materia
Spell Speed Quicktongue materia i icon1.png Quicktongue materia ii icon1.png Quicktongue materia iii icon1.png Quicktongue materia iv icon1.png Quicktongue Materia
Tenacity Battledance Materia I.png Battledance Materia II.png Battledance Materia III.png Battledance Materia IV.png Battledance Materia

Notes:

  • At the start only level 1 materias can be used. As more of a particular stats / materia are added: the binding success rate decrease until you are forced to use a higher grade / level materia. Unsuccessful bindings will destroy the materia used but never the Alexandrite.
  • Each successful meld infuses the stat of materia into the scroll, granting it 1 point in the corresponding stat.
  • You can only fuse materia of higher grades after completing a previous "tier". For stats that have a max of 44, a tier is 11 materia; the first 6 in the tier have a 100% chance of melding, followed by a 96% chance, 90% chance, 82% chance, 72% chance, and finally, a 60% chance. For example, you would need to have 8 successful infusions of a grade 1 materia before being able to start infusing grade 2 materia.
  • There is a cap on the maximum points you can put in a secondary stat and depends on your class.
  • The scroll can be infused with a maximum of five different secondary stats.
  • Your Novus Zodiac Weapon will only have the secondary stats that you put onto it - no secondary stats are transferred across from your Animus Zodiac Weapon. The only exception to this is with the healer's weapons Omnilex Novus and Thyrus Novus which get +9 Direct Hit Rate regardless.

Alexandrite

See also: Mysterious Map

Alexandrite icon1.png  Alexandrite is a special reagent used to convert and bind the materia to the Sphere Scroll, with 75 Alexandrite icon1.png  Alexandrite required for each individual weapon other than the paladin set, which requires 53 for Curtana Novus and 22 for the Holy Shield Novus. They can be gathered in three ways:

  1. Completing FATEs with a Animus Zodiac Weapon equipped (as before).
  2. Purchasing from a Hunt Billmaster in either Ul'dah, Gridania or Limsa Lominsa for Allied Seal 50 Allied Seals.
  3. From treasure chests from Mysterious map icon1.png  Mysterious Maps. You can obtain up to 5 Alexandrite icon1.png  Alexandrite per Mysterious map icon1.png  Mysterious Map. Mysterious Maps can be obtained through:

Mysterious Maps are similar to normal Timeworn Maps and requires the use of Decipher icon1.png  Decipher and Dig icon1.png  Dig skills from Treasure Hunting. These can be obtained from the quest Feature QuestTreasures and Tribulations from H'loonh in Wineport, Eastern La Noscea (X:21, y21). You will need to decipher the map, and travel to the location shown in the map before digging to find a treasure chest. Upon opening a treasure chest, the mysterious map will be destroyed and monsters will spawn. You will need to kill all the monsters before you can open the chest.
