Materia

Does anyone know the status on materia in The Feast, The Fold & Frontlines? I want to start melding my PVP gear but am unsure of it's effects. Also, how effective is Resistance materia? (ex: Stun Resistance, Sleep Resistance, etc.) Are they worth getting?

They don't function anymore. And won't until they release a game mode that isn't level synced.

The PVP morale stat is in effect however, right? Because I've been buying PVP gear and want to make sure it isn't going to waste...

No don't affect

While Morale is a dead stat, PVP gear tend to have great secondaries for the slot (ex the tank helm if you don't have the 230).

So then PvP gear is all essentially useless right now?

No actually some of then are bis for some classes, but then can't help you like is suppose to be in a pvp match. Remember in pvp you don't need acc so buy a chest piece is really useful for most of the classes.

Accuracy does matter, just need less of it. 410 accuracy makes sure you hit rate is 100% (excluding blind etc.).

Here's a quick 101

"i150 sync" is sorta misleading in that it implies that item level 150+ is all going to be the same -which isnt fully true.

For an experiment, next time inside seal rock or a feast match waiting to start, try equiping the Yasha Kote of Fending (or the upgraded 180 version, either works)

Now, while watching the stats displayed on your character menu, swap those for Hellfire Gauntlets of Fending or Prototype Midan Gauntlets of Fending

You'll see your acc go up by 5 points (2 if you started w/ 180 law gloves). This is because the i150 cap for acc is 32, more than the 170/180 law gloves have.

Short version: you lose some secondary stats for every piece of gear below i190 that you wear

Which is explained in my post, under secondary stas, the stat cap for each slot >.> ;D

"So what happens when your stats are synced to i150? Here's a breakdown per slot:

Head/Gloves/Boots- 30 Determination/ 32 Crit/Acc/SklSpd/SplSpd/Parry"

Sidebar: Try not to hit the accuracy cap with left slide slots, please reserve them for Crit/Spd/Det, you can easily attain 56 ACC on your right side.
