How much does a Novus cost?

[Coatl]

More specifically, how much does does a Curtana Novus (and shield) cost on average? I wouldn't mind knowing how much the other weapons cost too as my friend is working on his Axe-Novus.

Any crafted armor I should sport in order to spiritbond if it makes it easier?

This is HIGHLY dependent of the Server you're on. And the Materia prices there. Novus Shield will more than likely be cheap since it will not require any LV IV Materia. Sword on the other hand COULD be upwards of 2-4M depending on the types of Materia you put in. However, it's like I said.. All depends on the Server and if it's Legacy or not.

Really nothing if you harvest all items to craft and spiritbind things for materia. I myself have 33 Crit and 20 Det so far on scroll for smn and probably out close to a couple mil but have not messed with the 4's as they are crazy high price.

Always hate to be that person, but everything has a cost. If you sold the materia that you obtain from SBing, you could be making X amount of gil.

So while SBing your own gear truly is the best way to go about it as it will save you a TON, that Novus is still costing money as you're using materia that you could have otherwise sold.

Don't forget that the Calamity Salvager in any of the main cities will now sell you a second Meteor Survivor Ring once you've unlocked the first!

Arn't these items a waste though? According to this thread. Spiritbond +1 adds only 1% of a quicker progress whereas an item that is HQ adds 20-25% add an additional meld for another 20-25%. So equipping all this extra jewelry you listed would be great if you didn't use any jewelry at all, not to mention the use of these items means you will be losing out on 5 other items to spiritbond. But if you want to really make things quicker just use HQ items with a meld.
