Spiritbonding ruined

I just notice, spiritbonding runs by 1% per CM run

Materia prices will skyrocket 20 or 50 times...

If you spiritbond isn't that good news for you?

With or with out materia in the gear?

Spiritbonding is not ruined.

Please make sure to use special accessories that boost spiritbonding. Some of which include:

1.) Patriot's Choker
2.) Patriot's Bracelets
3.) Aetheryte Rings
4.) Meteor Survivor Ring

Wearing those in total should give you a tally of about +6 spiritbond which should speed up your process. If you are not using those accessories, you may want to give it a try as it has been stated before that spiritbonding is much slower in 2.0 as opposed to 1.0.

I hope that helps.

lol, How is that ruined? Cause it takes time to do now it's ruined. boo hoo You're doing it wrong.

Sometimes I wonder whether SBing would be faster by wearing actual good gear and thereby being able to kill things faster rather than stacking (otherwise statless) +spiritbond% gear.

wait i'm confused. so you're saying you only got 1% spirit bond after completing CM?

Sounds like they must of went back to the SB from post phase3 beta. It was a bit of a grind to get it done before. The only thing that really made it a pain, was that you could barely get gear SB on your lower lv jobs, before you were replacing the gear. So "hopefully" they only adjusted the SB for later levels, otherwise you wont ever see lv 1-2 materia unless you intentionally SB it yourself.

What are you talking about dude?

I get a 40% per run as usual.

I haven't tried plain gear yet, but yes, my AF2 and Darklight pieces were on 1% Spiritbond after a single Amdapor Keep run.

Not that I care. The item tooltips clearly state Darklight and Cleric items are not convertible. :p

Random question somewhat related, but if you accidentally sold your meteor survival ring to GC, is there any hope of getting it back? It seems like a item they shouldn't of allowed to sell to GC. I got a friend that did that by mistake and didn't know anything about spirit bind until way after the fact.

Because they're ilvl 90 and 70...

I'm still getting a 40% spiritbind per run on ilvl 45-49 items, like it has always been. Nothing has changed in that regard at all.

As said, haven't gotten around to playing with the Paladin yet, who's still 48. By then I'll see if my random pink stuff will spiritbind at the same rate. :p

Though I always wondered why non-convertible gear would spiritbind anyway...

so basically they made it so you can't run CM/Prae/AK in vanya stuff and then re-sell it before going into coil. This is a good thing.

Exactly, this is basically the only change they've made about spiritbinding.

I sure am glad I took that week and stockpiled materia like a mad man, now I'm going to be rich(er).

This is intended. The first 1% is just to bind it to you.

It's designed to stop people reselling i70 crafted items after they have used them. The items aren't meant to continue spiritbinding beyond 1% until you start fighting higher level monsters in Bahamuts Coil (and soon Crystal Tower).

If SE were to allow people to Spirit Bond item level 70 stuff on any level monster then the materia market really would go to hell!

I think maybe they mean ilvl70-90.... I only got 1% on my +1 which is ok with me lol.

The Higher IL the item, the longer it takes to bind. Think of an item having an EXP pool. You need a level 45+ IL item to get Tier III materia. AF2 is IL90. So if IL 45 has 100,000 exp IL90 has millions. Of course AF2 takes longer to bind.

All items do not bind the same. Go get Amber Rings or w/e if your a tank and you can bind those in 2 to 3 runs for Tier III Materia worth 10 to 200k a piece (pending on server market).

I buy Amber Rings, Amber Neck, Amber Wrist, Amber Earrings, and A celta Helm, and chest all il45+ for less than 40k off the AH for everything and make between 100-400k profit per run.

That doesn't help anything... We should be using them slots for other gear to spirit bond.

I beg to differ. You can swap these pieces out for gear you desire to have in that slot.

I'm not ordaining that one wear all of this gear simultaneously. Come on now, be sensible. Swap things out as you're able. If you're wearing an accessory, take one of the spiritbond ones out.

I don't see how that is not helpful. Ah, but if you want to be stubborn, decline to wear any of it, but then you will continue to complain about spiritbonding being slow. And so we're back and square one of which I ask: What in the world are you arguing for?

+1 Spiritbond gives +2% increase in spiritbond speed, so meteor survivor's ring gives 6% SB speed increase. 11 other slots x6% = 6%. Even if you gimp yourself to the max with a job that could use a shield 13 x6% = 78% < 100%. In other words SB gear and FC buffs are totally helpful.

I do like the tone in your rebuttal though, sounds like you are a very informative and helpful individual -- a paragon of this fine online establishment.

Yeah, no issues with spiritbinding regular items here, either. Two Aurum Vale runs later and my two Amber accessories went from ~25% to 67%. Relax, everyone. :p
