Paladin Animus stats

So i've been gathering some Alexandrite and was thinking... what should i add?

Personally i'm not a rich guy... so might have to go 3 stats. Usually i just run things for fun. Dungeons / primals and stuff like that. and i'm thinking

ACC & DET as much as i can and than add Parry.
Is that a good way to go or do you guys suggest something else?

Acc/det/crit would be a solid cheap way.

While I agree that going cheap is an option, and I know the pain of being broke, I would suggest you make something for end game and not cheap out. The stats are going to be with you for a long time, so I suggest you make it how you would expect to use it for all content, even if it takes some extra work to get done. You never know what the future holds.

So lets say we go for the way that involves some extra work, Do you suggest ACC/DET all the way on both my Sword & Shield?

Yes Acc/det is best.

And going cheap on secondaries is not that big of a deal. They matter very little in the grand scheme of things.

I'm going acc and det on the sword with parry and det on the shield. Det 4 on my server cost 500k each so I'm trying to get them thru SB'ing ... so far I have one lol. Going for 3 stats should be fine though unless your doing heavy endgame and hitting new content super early. You could make up any accuracy shortcomings with food easily.

Well my shield is almost done full ACC/DET :P but my sword... yush... first gonna need some more alexandrites which will give me some time to save up some $_$!

i would pile on acc, then mix up det/crit, or parry if u like. endgame comes down to personal skill, and has less to do with your secondaries, unless you stack a detrimental amount of skill speed (eww)

If you are planning on getting the HA sword and shield then I would suggest choosing stats opposite to it so you have options in 2.4. My relic axe, for example, is crit/det with some acc since I will need to sawp out the HA belt for the Noct belt (it has det) and still reach acc cap. The HA axe has parry/acc so now I have a dps axe and tanking axe both at 115.

The problem with that mentality is HA weapons will be junk soon and relics will go on.

Tanks weapons should put As much ACC and DET as they can afford. Once coil3 Acc caps and BiS is figured out some of the Acc might be better off in Crit but until then Acc/det is the way to go.

Um the stats are not with you for a long time, because they just added Nexus respec.

Go the cheap route of ACC/DET/CRIT and as you want to switch it out, you can remove 1 or all of your least desired stat for more of the desired stat. All it requires is more alexandrite.

And the longer you take to finish your weapon, the less useful it becomes, and the more likely something will replace it.

Was wondering how do you change the stats on your Novus / Nexus after you already infused your scroll? I'm pretty poor so I had to go Acc/Parry and a little Det, but would like to go mostly Det, crit and acc. I heard mixed instructions for this. Some people told me you can remove one stat at a time, while others told me you have to completely redo your whole scroll.

Buy another scroll go to central than NPC then head to novus old man then back to central than to remove stats one at a time then reinfuse materia.

When I bought another scroll, all the slots were empty, do I have to talk to the Novus Old Man to fill up the scroll with the materias i originally had?

Yes it's in the main menu he has.

Thanks Taint, i'll do that when I get home then.

And does anyone know how many DET you can add to the Sword before it starts taking Det IV? They are like 650k+ on my server for each one, so will probably stop after I fill it up with level 3 materias.
