Seek Materia Melding

Heya!

I was thinking about a system used to let other DoH meld Materia to your equipment. I thought this could be really useful, so instead of trading the object, the materia and the reward you could just put it onto your bazaar.

Let's see... To meld a materia on your own you should need:

• The Item
• The Materia
• The Catalyst
• The Melder

So... (drawin' a lil' mockup)

After selecting Accept your item goes straight in your Bazaar (here they'll see if occupying 1, 2 or 3 Bazaar spots), and the melder will just see the item on the Bazaar and there goes the standard Materia Melding menu.

The user who seeks Materia Melding could have a special Repair icon, like with some sparks or little stars, or a little Materia icon on the side.

Thinking on it more, I think it would be most useful if we had options to provide the catalyst ourselves or leave it up to the crafter to provide it.

hmm... Ah gotcha!

What about... having a checkbox saying if we want to provide our Catalyst to the crafter? Like, when you check the box you will link the Catalyst on the Melding request, or else nothing. Like that we could simply remove the fact that it requires Catalyst. Good job! I'm gonna update the mockup:

How's that!

See ya!

I know they're investigating adding this already, but props to you for the nice mock-up.

Would love to see this, you could then hire more public crafters to meld materia instead of your trusted circles.
