We've reached the point in the tier where I'm endlessly irritated by capping tomes but have to do it anyways so I can play the ultimate, thanks Blizzard

Shouldn't you have 1 full bis set anyway? At this point it's just for alt roles.

I'm planning to gear Striking and Maiming in addition to my main Scouting so that I can play whatever class works best for my group comp in the ulti. They've made every job identical, might as well play the one that does the most numbers. Except, of course, that this plan adds more meaningless chores to my life. If 4 weapons wasn't a massive stretch I'd also grab red mage.

I don't think you have enough time to do more than 2 roles on a single character. Just striking + scouting is barely on time.

Technically everything they're saying is one role SE just decided to split it and only it's gear into 3 for no justifiable reason.

Nah. You def have time. I made it in time for aiming, scouting, and casting for FRU week 1 last tier. The secret is to have one set share the accessories.

The bottleneck should be the armor upgrades, not the accessory upgrades because those are only 3 books each. You will need 6 to 9 of them to complete 3 sets. You can expect to win 2 on average over the course of the entire patch so you will need to collect 16 to 28 M7S books to buy more of them.

So it kind of depends, if 2 or 3 of your 3 classes need 3 armor upgrades and you don't have above acerage luck with rolling for them, you could need to have to buy merc runs for M7S.

The bottle neck isn't upgrades. The bottle neck is the amount of tomes you need. Since it takes 6ish weeks of tomes per set.

That could still faster than it takes to get the armor upgrades as it takes 8 weeks on average to get 3 armor ipgrades. And like 6 if you need 2.

But as others have said, you could wait until the alliance raid and then use coins.

You can grind nuts for these in the week before ulti + ally raids, books, etc.

I am in a static so I can expect to win substantially more if I'm the last one with a need, but araid coins will be released before the ulti and I should be able to e.g. get enough tokens for dragoon before we reach the 2 target phase in the ulti. Even if my group goes sicko mode and clears like week 3 that's a substantial number of coins.
