Need info getting T4 craft materia

So far I've tried spiritbonding patrician set & highest accessories usually used for maximum crafter gears 3 times, with exception of militia stuff 2 times only which is I55, and I'm still getting t3 materia over and over.

Are there any better gear to SB for getting T4 materia? Or I have no choice but to SB the AF gears? Or it is just purely luck with any lvl 45+ gears?

Thank you.

It's luck on anything 46+ I got 2 Control 4 materia yesterday from the Coral earrings and an electrum ring of crafting. I haven't tried spritbinding any AF gear.

Ha ha

At least I can use the t3 to meld other DoH's hand/leg/feet gears though. Rest of my af body still need 1st t4 craftmanship before I can push rest of t3. Most of my offtools still untouched tho.

If there's any better way, I love to know. ^^

I managed to get a couple T4's from spirit bonding my weavers AF set. Unfortunately it takes forever since you can't bond through combat.

Yea, about that...

I only recently made all HQ AFs since I completed capping them not long ago. Does afs still could give more t3 than t4?

Lower level gear bonds faster, HQ gear bonds faster, gear with materia in it bonds faster, and you bond at the same rate for HQ/NQ/quick synths.

I spiritbond the regular stuff that costs as much to make or less than to buy it at the MB. Quick synths, dodo body/patricians gear, electrum wrist/ring/neck, coral ear, meteor survivor's ring. Cheap materia meld in each 100% slot. It takes about 300 level 40+ synths to fully bond a piece.

Tier IV rate is 5-10%

- hq an sb item = 20% faster sbing
- every meld = 20% faster sbing
- guaranteed t4 materia = ilvl 70+

depending on ilvl to sb and the recipe you craft, it takes about 150-170 synth to sb the item. i usually use hq+2 melds.

err... I think this is for DoW/DoM gears. I'm not sure there's i70 stuff for DoH/DoL, with exception of the traded i70 stuf which I think are non convertible. Haven't unlocked all master books yet, but I really doubt there's any i70 crafted DoH/DoL stuff. Anyone can confirm this? Would love to give this a go if there's any.

Besides, I also heard that i70 are not guarantee to convert into t4, can still get t3 instead although the rate are unknown atm.

it doesnt matter what jobs the items are for, only the ilvl is responsable for the chance of getting certain grade materia.

guaranteed:
Materia Tier 1 = ilvl 15+
Materia Tier 2 = ilvl 30+
Materia Tier 3 = ilvl 45+
Materia Tier 4 = ilvl 70+

edit:
i forgot t5 = 90+ but thats not needed atm ^_^

again I ask you, are there any i70 DoH gears? I am posting in DoH forum, no?

For t4 crafting materia, I was just buying several sets (minus the hat) of the crafting gear in Mor Dhona, either at the aetheryte or at saint coirnach's find. As those pieces are 46, they can produce t4 materia, and any t3 materia you don't need can still sell for a decent little profit on the marketboard. Two reasons for excluding the hat : 1) it is only level 45 (so generally produces t2 or t3 materia), and 2) I have the crafting hat already.

DoH gear, excepting the tools and the AF gear, is not class-specific, so can be built up through combat or through crafting. Generally, though, I would just make a ton of Cobalt Ingots for that leve hand in, and SB the bought crafting gear while making those through QS.

I was actually doing more or less same way as yours, except I make patrician sets instead. They're lvl 50 and I have abundance of mats for making them, HQed them ofc.

Have gone through 5 patrician sets now (head/body/hand/leg/feet). Still got all T3 though. T3 control & cp used immediatedly to meld af's hand/leg/feet. Alot of craftmanship T3, have about 20-ish of them so far, guess I could go crazy melding them on body, as soon as I melded 1st T4 craftmanship on each of them.

As of now, T4 craftmanship cost around 100k on my server. Guess that's the reason why it's so expensive, seeing how much I SBing and got nothing of T4. Worse thing is that many of my offtools still has no meld yet. I do get T4 control recently from militia wristlets, but they take around twice (or more) the patrician SB progress.

I spiritbond the electrum and red corral earrings for tier 4 materias. Mostly still tier 3 but sometimes it's nice to get a tier 4 here and there.

Well.. just converted my 6th patrician/acc set. still all t3.

I skipped red coral earring since I don't have red coral anymore and my fisher kinda too low to farm those. I remember back in 1.0 that I can easily farm these on those flying light mobs in underground cavern, similar mobs that now resides in Satasha dungeon.

Sigh.... I hate u, RNG! ><

I've SB'd a LOT of crafter gear. I think my T4 materia rate is about 8%. That is all level 46-49 gear. And of the T4 materia, I think it is about even, 33% chance of one of the three crafter materia types.

I've been spiritbonding the Patrician's Set with Electrum Crafting Jewelry and so far, I have about 80 T3 and 4 T4 materia, so the T4 conversion rate is pretty low. Every time I see a T4 materia, I feel like I won the lottery...

7th patrician set and still t3. So that's all 7 set of patrician and nothing of t4 from it... ; ;

I did get a t4 from electrum choker, but not t4 craftsmanship...

lol
