SMN Novus, what did you do!

So I'm at 33 crit now using tire III. I really don't want to sink time or Gil into IV, so I'm wondering what others have done?

Edit: thinking I should have posted this in DPS threads for jobs....

I'm planning to use up to only Det III and Crit III materia and put the remaining into accuracy. Meh, those few points of crit aren't worth millions of gil.

I'm going to have to go on a Spirit Bonding binge myself. Tier IV crit materia on my server is 250k and up, where as tier III was only 16k. Looks like I won't be finishing my Novus quite as soon as I thought.

Currently at +33 Crit, +20 Det, +8 Acc. Not sure yet if I want to finalize on 42 Crit, 25 Det, 8 Acc, or 40 Crit, 27 Det, 8 Acc.

+44 Crit
+31 Det

Getting the needed acc from high allegan gear, T1-9 is no need to have acc on weapon too!
Had about 7 Tier IV fails :(

Go hard or go home. Max that crit and det.

The fun begins when T10+ is released and all folks with no ACC on weapon as Tank/DD will be crying about bad drop luck of new allagan gear and having to switch back to other weapons to meet ACC reqs because new tome gear will probably be a bit crappy again. :D
Easy thing, each point of ACC you have on your weapon doesn't need to be on your armor. I think it is very shortsighted not to put ACC on weapon as tank / dd. Just my 2 gil.

Except with the current coil gear for casters, ACC is pretty much on every piece cept for a handful. On SMNs to be exact, you have much more accuracy available to you then the cap. So ACC is wasted on a book like the Novus once you get all of the coil gear.

I'll be putting some accuracy on it because I want to have the possibility of freely choosing between other equipment in the future in case the restrictions get tougher. If not then you can always get the accessory with CRIT and DET where the people who fully maxed those in the weapon had to pick ACC, for example.

Yes then you can use upgraded tome gear without ACC instead and glamour it with HA gear. Your statement doesn't negate mine but supports it.

See, I don't know when, if ever, I am actually going to be doing Coil. As a person in full Soldiery, ACC is fairly lacking. Things like Leviathan Ex still have higher Acc caps than Soldiery gear can even give you. Soldiery gear doesn't even meet T5 accuracy cap. I actually had much higher Accuracy with full Myth gear than I do with full Soldiery. So as it stands right now I have to wear pieces of myth if I want to do things like Leviathan Ex or T5 (which I still haven't gotten around to beating yet).

So, yeah.. Accuracy has a place on the Novus weapon depending on what you like to do and are capable of doing.

Besides, once I have the Novus completed they will eventually have an option to respec it if I decide I no longer need/want the added Accuracy.
