    What to do with Alexandrite now?

    I finished my Bravura Novus, yay! But I'm going to be stockpiling Alexandrite for who knows how long. I already have two unidentified allagan tombstones waiting for weapons.. so I've been trying to decide what should be my second Novus (or if I should even bother with another.

    My other classes are Paladin, which I intend to get a Burtgang for next week.
    Bard... which looks like Rosenbogen is pretty solid for, and not much to improve upon.
    Dragoon... which I'm far from a tactician on...
    White Mage... which is my generic healer, and probably tied with Bard in terms of 2nd favorite class.
    And Black Mage... which I enjoy but is woefull undergeared.

    I'd be curious of other opinions... I'm leaning towards Either Bard or White Mage... but it looks like their Mythic weapons are pretty solid on either count, and not sure how much Novus would improve either by comparison for the amount of time/money your putting into them.

    Actually Soldiery weapons for Blm, dragoon, summoner, Bard and i heard whm is really good as well.
    Soldiery weapons, like that of drg for instance some have stated but it has no accuracy, well so what, other gear can make up for it.
    Aside from accuracy that weapon is a beast.
    Have a FC with Bard Soldiery and a smn with soldiery. Myself now ilv 103 blm i have the soldiery weapon and absolutely love it. To be honest all Novus weapons on all classes are not a significant upgrade over the soldiery weapons. Myself i have a lvl 50 whm but still have not done Relic yet as, well i am not the greatest healer, haha

    The Laevateinn is only good for BLM if you need the Accuracy. If you don't, a properly spec'd Novus is easily superior.

    I really don't think you'd need 40/44 accuracy from the Laevateinn for your BLM, unless you're wearing full Soldiery gear or something. WHM soldiery weapon is far better, I'd say go for BLM Novus next (though that may just be my bias from maining BLM speaking).
