Note: This isn't by any means a comprehensive guide to Nuema's and I don't know much about them, I just made a mini guide for my faction to get people started. I've posted it here to help people a little bit. It's not formatted or anything, but hope it helps!

I figured since I was getting a lot of questions about the new nodes called nuema, I would make a mini guide for the faction. Note this is just enough to get started with it I don't really know all that much either.

Nuema's are a way to add stats to your war avatars which are the new cards you can equip for bonus stats. The highest tier I've seen currently is 6 but I'd assume there are more. War avatar's have 6 different categories and each one has a corresponding nuema: Destroyer, Battle, Longevity, Durability, Soulprime, and Lifeprime. Each of this need to be leveled individually from my understanding.

As you can see in the top left this is my Longevity Nuema, currently it's at tier 0 and needs 450xp to go to the next tier. When I level it I'll gain 13hp as well as 28phys def. You level Nuema's by killing certain bosses and absorbing the nodes to get origin's/essences of various tiers.

This is a tier 2 lifeprime essence, as you can see it adds 360 Nuema (I just call it xp) to the lifeprime position. So to level your longevity nuema, you would need an essence or origin of Longevity tier 1-6. The name of it changes (origin = blue, essence = yellow) and the colour of it affects how much xp it gives to the category.

NOTE: Don't use a tier of nuema that is much higher than it's category, you will only gain 100xp towards that category

**EDIT**Apparently essences (yellow nuema) give slightly more than 100xp to a lower category (tier 4 essence gives 301xp to be exact) however origins (blue) of a higher tier still give 100xp

Example:

http://i.imgur.com/9v9YeS1.png?1?9793

This is a t4 battle nuema, giving 519 xp to the battle category. If I use this currently (my battle nuema tier is 0) I would get 100xp instead of 500. Nuema's stack however the only place to put them is your bank or inventory.

In the war avatar page shown above, you click on Nuema Listings to access which bosses drop Nuema nodes. I believe the PWI news page said up to 10 people can absorb the node but only one person will get it(?). Or you can just go alone and always get it. You can get 20 origin's/essences a week and it resets Saturday 0:00 server time as seen below

http://i.imgur.com/f2DqhBY.png

The Nuema 1 and Nuema 2 refer to one of two possible tiers that will drop, and the name refers to the name of the monster you need to fight to get the node. To start leveling I suggesting going for Tier 1/2 Nuema's which have the easier bosses such as Poison Tail Occultist, if you want you could fight him 20 times.

After his death, a node appears that you absorb and you should get one origin/essence (or any others) of one of the 6 categories. You can click on it (should show a little blue glowing gourd when you hover on it) amongst the many drops.

Sorry I don't know any more, but hope this helps.

    Also be sure to have a free slot in your inventory before absorbing Nuema, or it will disappear.

    According to Kitty's observation, T4-nuemas give 301 xp to tier 0-slot. Kitty tested this in FB59.

    I'll test this when I bank

    EDIT: Looks like my tier 4 essence of battle (519xp, yellow) gave 301xp to my tier-0 battle category however my tier 5 origin (blue) longevity nuema still gave just 100xp to my tier-0 longevity category

    I noticed that if I change the card from a certain position (destroyer, for instance), the nuema assigned to that position remains, so it is linked to the position, not the card itself. Can anyone else confirm this?

    It's positional based. It seems to be basically free stats it's not really tied to war avatars except for the fact that they share the same window and naming category, at least this is what it seems like to me.

    That is great, imagine how much it would have sucked if you upgraded your cards and the nuema was absorbed by the old ones, not the position and you'd have to re-farm it.
    This is much better! b:victory

    Yeah it should be noted that Nuemas have nothing whatsoever to do with the cards - they just happen to be on the same menu. Nuema is just a permanent stat boost system like Meridian.

    Was experimenting with instances and went to kill Quianji and got a tier 5 not 4 Nuema, also it`s supposed you only gain 100 xp if it`s higher than even 1 lvl, yet when I used a 2 lvl higher Nuema, it still got full xp.

    I used a lvl 4 origin (173exp) used on a 0exp tier 0 nuema. provides 100 exp.
    I used a lvl 4 origin (100exp) used on a 0exp tier 0 nuema. provides 100 exp.
    I used a lvl 3 essence (432exp) used on a 100exp tier 0 nuema. provides 302 exp.
    I used a lvl 3 origin (1xxexp) used on a 100exp tier 0 nuema. provides 100 exp.

    My guess is that using higher levels simply has the same effect as using the +1 level youre supposed to.
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.

    You really have to be careful about that because it will count as a try so this would be a toal waste.

    Anyone know what Vitae is and wear can you look to find it?
    I keep getting it as quest reward but have no idea wear to see what it's doing.

    I asked here since it might be tied to Nuema (maybe?).

    Click your character and you will see a blue bar with a roman number, that`s it.

    Vitae lets you progress further (unlocks the story line quests) also the higher the level of Arcane sky (max lvl is 10, then you get another one to start from like 2nd level it has a different name mirage or smth. don`t remember clearly) the better stuff you can get. It also enables you to learn the new passive skills and level them up as you progress with the vitae, as well as exchange obps/pofs for advanced arcane sky pages etc.

    You get vitae from doing BH2, daily quests in the new world and can buy the pills from cash shop.

    You have a list of nuemas in your avatar section (nuema listings) with a list of bosses and what level nuemas they drop, not every boss drops them.

    Both Calcid in 39 and Rancor in 51 dropped for me in my BHs yesterday.
    Those were the two on the list.
    29 boss never did in 2 BHs and 1 other attempt (non-BH).
    I guess it's random?

    No it always drops if you're on the right boss. Make sure the boss you're farming is actually on the list, it seems to change at some point during the day.

    In my Nuema Listings it shows Available Nuema Absorption at 20/20. This was the case before last Saturday 12/28 at 12:00 midnight. I watched for it to reset in order to farm nuema, but it hasn't. How do I get this to reset?

    Found my answer. I didn't realize the 20/20 was a countdown of available nuema, so it did reset.

    No nuema you dig is random, but from my experience it kinda distributes them to be equal, so every card slot gets at least some xp, all my nuemas are lvl 1 or close to lvl 2, somewhat balanced more or less but random is still a random.

    My guess is that using higher levels simply has the same effect as using the +1 level you're supposed to.

    This is correct I test it to.

    Some other facts I test it:

    1. Its best to farm essences max 2 lvls above your neuma lvl, otherwise you don't get good exp.

    2. Bosses that drops them are listed for every day. Instance is not important. Only boss that drops them at day in that instance is, so be sure to check which one in your neuma listings for that day.

    3. Neuma ess that drops from bosses are random. When you get one in your bag you can read on it which slot it belongs to. It will increase only that one. So if you got battle ess it will be absorbed to your battle stats.

    4. Neuma system don't have any connection to the cards. Its more like meridian. It gives additional stats to your character, not the cards. You don't need to have card to be able to absorb neuma.

    5. If more then 1 person kill boss. Only 1 person will be able to absorb it.

    6. You can farm 20 ess per week. They reset on Saturday 24:00 server time.

    Well thats all I can remember now.
