Each tier is roughly 1/4th of the cap for that stat.
Like for crit, the cap is 44. The tiers are 11 11 11 11.
Det has a cap of 31. Tiers are 7 8 8 8.
PIE has a cap of 33. I -think- the tiers were 8 8 8 9... but I don't remember for certain.

Each tier will start out with a 100% success rate for infusing the materia. And if I recall, the last 6 in each tier will have progressively lower success rates, stopping at either about 50 or 60, depending on which stat it is.

I was Originally going to go with 41 CRIT and 34 ACC but I think that would be unwise for some reason. If anyone has some better theories please post them as I may change my mind.

That combo seems pretty solid. Secondary stats on your weapon barely matter at all unless you do something unbearably stupid like throw Spell Speed on it or something. That's a good stat distribution to take into the 3rd Coil since it's probably safe to assume that if you don't have T9 on farm at this very moment, then you'll probably enter the 3rd coil with your Novus. It's better to have too much accuracy(ie. when the cap is unknown) going into new content than not enough!

Hmmm I went with 42 crit(because eff 3 IV fails in a row and the SB changes), 23 det(because no way am I doing det IV) and split the other 10 half an half between skillspeed and accuracy(had some spare).
