materia

just wanted to post some things from the materia update and see what people think, or what your plans will be.

Creating materia requires the “materia assimilator” key item, an apparatus which can be obtained via a quest available to players level 18 or above.

* Certain gear cannot be converted into or enhanced with materia.

i wonder what kind of gear cant be converted

Attaching materia requires the “materia melder” key item, an apparatus which can be obtained via a quest available to Disciples of the Hand level 18

so this melder, is it gona be a craft that you rank, doesnt seem like it

Players who have met certain requirements can obtain the more advanced ”augmented materia melder,” which allows the attachment of up to five pieces of materia per item.

will these requirements be higher craft lvls, materia quest, or maybe both.

* In order to attach materia to a certain piece of equipment, Disciples of the Hand must fulfill the class and level requirements for crafting it.

so does this mean you have to be able to make the item you are applying the materia too, if so what craft dungeon gear/un-crafted gear be assigned, most likely the craft that repairs it . This gear i believe may become obsolete if you have to have a rank 50 raft to apply materia to it since you cant trade it for someone else to put the materia on it.

* Only NPCs can purge materia.

will they have npcs that can apply materia for a price, will be useful for that un-tradeable gear.

feel free to speculate or say anything you want, these are just some of the things that worry me about the system. I dont see myself going for a lvl 50 craft just to apply meteria so maybe ill just turn my un-tradable gear into materia, idk, "* Certain gear cannot be converted into or enhanced with materia"

sadly there are like 3 existing threads already on this topic. you should read them before you post this. they cover everything you've just said and asked

how could they answer everything when the devs have not responded to everything, speculation is not an answer.

and i know there are other threads, mine focuses only on certain points. No need for volunteer forum police up in here, thank you.

i pulled this from another thread, it is your quote:
i think something that would be better than losing the gear when you fail would be that all of the materia already attached are destroyed instead heck you'll already have to turn 5 pieces of gear a the very least (more if you dont get the one you want or you want a higher grade) into materia just to even attempt this.


what i see as the best aspect of materia crafting is the fact you have to turn gear you have worn for a while into it. this will require to either make or buy more gear to try to get the ones they want and effectively revive the economy since making gear of any rank will be worth it now

you don't lose the gear, so if your the one answering the questions an you dont even know how to read the source material then i have no interest in those threads.

like you said this is all speculation, but if you actually read the other threads there were quotes from devs and yoshi that implied that you lose the gear on a failed materia synth. hence the suggestions like other people have put asking to make it so you dont lose your gear

and i didnt say they answered your questions and comments. they were just being covered

A failed attempt to attach materia will result in the loss of all items involved in the process, barring the key item.

barring means except, so except the key item.

the key item isn't the gear, it's an item you need to even attempt materia synthing
you get it doing a quest with a DoH at rank 18

my goal like yours isnt to derail you so ill make this my last post
