SMN Veil of Wiyu Novus - Which stats would be BiS?

[NintenPyjak64]

Spur (and other things) will reset your egi's stats using your current gear set

This also works the same way for stats increased by Food. It'll go by what stats you have from your gear and not additional means like Echo or Potions (now Echo is on pets so SMN isn't gimped in T1-5 anymore)

EDIT: Oh, you're accounting for pet..again.

Of course I am. An Egi to a SMN is like a shield to a PLD, both are incredibly important to the respective job

This is sadly true. Hopefully at one point SE will either make the Egis' acc cap the same as the summoner or at the very least, benefit from the summoner's food buff.

You have no reason to put any accuracy on it. Any BiS list for either crit or det with 110 options ends up with like 496 accuracy. personally I have 514 right now and I'm certainly not wearing pieces for the accuracy they give.

Assuming your in the position I'm in (No Coil Turn 2 at all, but have beaten everything up to it [Minus Turn 5 in my case, but that's not important for the build]), You get 429 accuracy from having the best ilvl gear available (Soldiery + Animus)

If you step back to crafted i90 for one piece, and get a Ribbon of Casting, you can get to 462.



With a second piece, of crafted, you get to 483 accuracy

Which means, without any Coil 2 gear and only a gil investment off 420-500k, depending on server, you can get 8 shy of the accuracy cap for the entirety of coil. Which means you only need one more piece of i90 crafted, or you can just do the lower levels of Coil 2 until you get a piece you need (Not ideal, I suppose). Even without the Ribbon (12 Acc), that's only 3 pieces if i90 crafted.

So, the question really is - How poor are you?

EDIT: Also consider that you can farm Leviathan for the Wave Grimoire, and just use that weapon when you get to the higher levels of Coil 2. You'll take a minor dps hit, but wont have to go through the hassle of re-doing your Animus later.

EDIT EDIT: Brain farted about the food.

If you use HQ Lava Toad Legs (+23 accuracy) that gets you to 485.

Which means, without any Coil 2 gear and only a gil investment off 200-250k, depending on server, you can get six shy of the accuracy cap for the entirety of coil. Which means you only need one more piece of i90 crafted, or you can just do the lower levels of Coil 2 until you get a piece you need (Not ideal, I suppose). Even without the Ribbon (12 Acc), that's only two pieces if i90 crafted.

You need 491 accuracy without food for all of second coil. Your pet does not get any benefit from food, so accuracy food is usually a waste for a summoners.

Oh.

Then you need 3 pieces of i90 crafted. Bummer.

I'm not using any pieces of crafted and I'm at 483 accuracy with only 1 coil drop (bracelets)

You shouldn't upgrade pieces that already have accuracy for pieces that don't unless you can compensate in some way, which is why I'm still using Myth head and gloves and Coil boots. Let's look at Bard for example using the i90 BiS. Assuming they never got Coil pants, if they upgraded from the i90 body to the i100 body, they won't have the accuracy for even T5. Going for accessories first was a big step forward compared to straight upgrading the body, which is what one of my Bard friends did and he came off in very good shape.

Some of the Soldiery pieces are great for BLM, but they're horrid for SMN since we need more accuracy then a BLM would, and sadly, we have to rely on terrible coil RNG for the main source of accuracy

Also yes I am very poor. I'm barely playing this game if I'm not raiding, so I have little to no drive to make money. What I make comes from helping friends with roulettes, challange logs and level 50 ventures. As much as I love crafted equipment, it's not an option for me

Incorrect. You need 491 for T8 and T9 only. T6 is 471 and T7 is 481.

and you most likely wont be going from T6-8 in the first week you do it so you should be able to get more gear by that time. The ring and necklace from T6 alone are massive accuracy boosts

If you aren't doing 2nd coil you don't need to worry about the accuracy for it. If you're just not getting drops you're better off swapping pieces than wasting the stats on your annoying as shit to get relic.
