Urgent BLM Novus help

I have all of the Alexandrite. Need a quick response plz/

My BLM Animus currently is

Accuracy - 10/44
Determination - 23/31
Spell Speed - 35/44

I need 7 Spell Speed (grade 4) to finish the novus, but each materia costs 200k. I only have 6k on me. (lol).

I was thinking of adding 7 Accuracy, but... that feels off. If my Novus has 17 Accuracy, would I be able to make up the difference in gear choice to compensate for Spell Speed or DPS drop off? I have all alexandrite and enough Accuracy materia to finish it.

I guarantee you won't notice anything by missing out on 7 points of spell speed. From what I understand, you need a LOT of spell speed to even notice it.

Plus, if you have any plans of doing SCOB or FCOB, you will need accuracy.

17 ACC is fine, and as mentioned, opens you to other gear choices as well as futureproofing yourself some. Go get it and enjoy your new weapon. =)

Check out this gear and stats allocation guide from Puro

Just finish it with w/e to get started on your Nexus. Then gradually replace unwanted stats (acc) with spellspeed as you can

this is completely false. blm gets more than enough accuracy from gear because caster gear has to account for SMN requiring more accuracy than BLM. You can easily get enough accuracy for scob using soldiery gears and 1-2 ST pieces until u either get mask or feet from scob

I have cleared the second coil completely, but it isn't kind with accessories or the coat. I do have pants though :D

Thanks for your swift responses. I'll get the other 7 ACC on :D

Sure if you want to use Crit/Acc pieces, which isn't a good thing.

Okay, so I have my Novus now which to me is the best looking Novus. (appearance wise, not stat wise)
My main secondary stats are 500 or so spell speed, 303 Determination and 500 or so crit. What are the stats I should be aiming for that? I have 488 Accuracy.

Please read the OP's facts before claiming my statement is false.

Facts:

OP only has $6,000 gil

To max spell speed, OP would need to spend at least $1,400,000

OP never mentioned what gear they have nor what their total accuracy score is

OP never mentioned wanting more determination or crit, only spell speed vs. accuracy

OP stated he/she had enough accuracy materia to finish the Novus

Conclusion, it is perfectly logical to finish off the Novus by adding the remaining accuracy.

BTW, since you're so knowledgable, please tell us, what is the new accuracy requirement for final Coil?
