Advanced Melding forbidden after the last update

Hello,

Tonight I was playing and purchased a load of STR Materia V to pentameld my accessories for my i255 PLD gears lv 60, but when I went for the hidden slot my materias have a message on them "Advanced Melding Forbidden"

Is this some kind of bug or we are now unable to advance meld our gears?

Do someone else has presented this issue after the last update? Even my i255 SMN and i255 WHM gears both now I am unable to continue pentamelding them.

As far as i know pentamelding only works on green crafted gear, it won't work on blue gear, not sure on basic white gear though.

You can't meld Main Stats, like strength, into forbidden slots.

Thanks Rawrz, that explain the reason, I didn't knew that, since I had pentameld my WHM with spellspeed, determination, Piety and a few Critical Hit, started pentameld my SMN with mass Critical Hit and Direct Hit, I was trying put Strenght on accessories of my PLD, my main role in every mmorpg is Healer, only play as healer cause I love healing even if peoples blame me for a fail in some part.
I don't play tank rules and don't know which stats looks better instead of vitality for High amount of HP, and since all gears have vitality maxed, I was trying a secondary stat like Strenght and tenacity, but 99% os the places, forums and reddit I checked for tenacity they said to avoid, well, since the rest of my strengt V is useless for me now, i will sell it on the market.
