Many ways to get the Alexandrites, quite vital.

Why waste gil on buying materia III's or IV's when you can quickly and easily solo spiritbond for I's and II's?

You probably bought the materia you needed to make the original relic to begin with, so why complain now?

---

I'm under the assumptions the scrolls are going to work like everything else where we are going to have to overmeld and use exactly the right materia, not constantly fusing lvl 1 materia. It would be nice if you have the option to use different leveled materia and use 32 lvl 1's but this would break every rule of the game so far, and to me this is just SE attempting to make use of that really awful and poorly designed materia exchange system they added.

For the scroll given, assuming it works the way I assume it does;

• 22 Savage Aim Materia I
• 16 Quickarm Materia I
• 38 Alexandrite

If you use higher tiers though, on the other end of the spectrum, then;

• 4 Savage Aim Materia IV
• 1 Savage Aim Materia III
• 1 Savage Aim Materia I
• 3 Quickarm Materia IV
• 1 Quickarm Materia II
• 10 Alexandrite

I'd presume the map gives Alexandrite, and the Ink is used for obtaining the Sphere Scroll.

Relief for DD's -> "An issue wherein players would not receive a penalty for leaving a duty while other players were still loading into the instance."

Tanks please look forward to actually playing the Roulette dungeon you get.

inb4 the meld options are limited and mostly elemental resistance crap.

I think it would be really interesting if the elemental materia corresponded to different stats somehow. It would at least make them useful. @.@;

Wouldn't put it past them tbh. Monetary losses, check. Relying on RNG, check. Looking forward to it!

In fact you have an much smaller chance of getting the secondary stats as a mataria when compared to all the other stats. Creating materia is more RNG then when atma farming + it cost you gil. There is no way you can do a novious without spending large amounts gil, even if your an omnicrafter, and spiritbond everything yourself.

yes, i have a bunch of Materia IV from SB, and it didnt cost anything, cause i grathered/crafted the gear myself=win.
it will take time to get gil to by materia.
it takes time to SB.
doesn't matter which you prefer, but i prefer to not spend gil on greedy ppl.
it only takes a long time with lv50+ gear, and you can get IV from lv45 stuff, and possibly a bit lower.
And if you get *wrong* materia, you can trade it for what you need. or convert materias until you get what you want.

The Irony is that they will now just que with Friends/LS/FC instead of random. Making Tank even more rare and high shortage of it.
