    My Materia Cap Chart for ALL item LV 70 HQ craft gears

    This chart shows the stat result for melding all materia types to all HQ item LV 70 crafts. I am 4 pieces away from finishing the entire set and melding them all, so I thought I'd post this to help players who can't afford the time or money to test out all the combinations. Also provided are my optimal stat combinations that I chose to meld on my gears. I derived them using damage algorithm analysis mostly based on a site called BLITZBALL: http://valk.dancing-mad.com/

    I dont really want to get into the stat discussion here but I have decided that VIT > Skill/Spell speed > Critical > Determination for all gears.

    Good luck with your melding!

    When I am done completely I will clean it up and order it by set.

    Caps for all items with the same slot and iLvl should be the same. You could really prune down the list with that knowledge, and fill out a lot of your unknown spots.

    UPDATE: The OP's image is inaccurate and incomplete for several data points (as of this edit), so I suggest you go here to see my updated list

    All the gryphon accs cap at 10 Vit, 8 Det, 12 SSPD, 12 CRIT. The main stats (STR,DEX) are already capped at 9 with a HQ item. Not sure if you can put on more Acc, I think on Astral items you can put extra Acc on them (+3 on HQ), might just be the same for Gryphon but I can't test that because I already 5 slots melded.

    Also what Raldo said, slims down the list a lot and gives you less of a "wtf is going on here" moment.

    Thanks, a fantastic and fantastically useful chart -- however you didn't include elemental resist materias! I know they might *seem* useless, but perhaps they are not as bad as we think! (I'm sure all elements would have the same cap per piece, so I think you'd only have to test one of any element.)

    Very awesome! But I did spot 1 error. The vanya healing gloves can slot piety materia, I currently have 2 piety IIIs melded to mine. Can't speak as to what the cap is, though.
