Any gear above i45 starts giving a chance to obtain Grade IV Materia. The higher the iLvl of the Spiritbound gear, the higher the chance of obtaining a Grade IV. Just put on the highest iLvl stuff you can easily obtain and go nuts!

Item Lv - % chance of converting into Rank I / II / III / IV Materia:
1-14: 100 / 0 / 0 / 0
15-29: 90 / 10 / 0 / 0
30-44: 0 / 90 / 10 / 0
45-60: 0 / 0 / 90 / 10
60-70: 0 / 0 / 15 / 85
70+: 0 / 0 / 0 / 100

Those should be decently accurate. Note that the higher your iLV gear the longer it takes for 100% spiritbond. It takes 2 or 3 times to spiritbond to 100% gear lv70+ compared to lv45-50 lol

This is bullsh*t. Don't believe this.

I spiritbonded 6 pieces of i90 gear. And only ONE turned into a IV.

Everything above i45 has a chance to drop IV's, but there is no full-proof way of getting IV's. If you have the mats and can make the i90 stuff yourself, you can spiritbond it in two expert mode dungeons with 2 materia's in each piece.

If you don't have that, I'd go with i70 crafted which can be spiritbonded in a couple turn 4 coil runs. I've heard people have more success with that gear than anything else.

And of course there is the i55 gear, but to me that takes too long to spiritbond since nobody does those lower 50 dungeons anymore.

This is outdated. I think since 2.2 (the patch that brought the alexandrite sphere scroll ingame)

2.3, broke the materia system, also only for grade IV, other datas are correct.

I dont see how 2.3 broke the materia system. Grade IV materia shouldnt be 100%. If anything it was a welcomed change IMO

Spare yourself the trouble and don't spiritbond anything above militia (i55). Things that are i70 or i90 can still turn into III materia, Lightning IV materia wooo.

Why shouldn't tier IV materia be 100% on much more expensive equipment that takes much longer to spiritbind? It's not as though tier IV materia is or should be some ultra rare item. It's completely required to participate in high level crafting and gathering as well as necessary to make crafted combat gear relevant. It should take more time/ money/ effort than tier III materia, sure, but the current ratio is ridiculous and has had the unintended effect of drastically increasing the supply of tier III materia such that in a lot of cases it's cheaper than tier II.

Sorry, on topic. OP, I've always found that using level 45 equipment is as good as you can do. Anything 45-55 has the same chance of converting to tier IV, but 45 will SB much faster (I think about 50% faster in Urth's gift), is cheaper to produce, and easier to HQ if you're making it yourself and not a geared up crafter. Basically use the lowest ilvl equipment that you can that is 45+. This will probbaly be in the 45-50 range. To me ilvl 55 gear is just not worth it.

Pretty much this is what I do. Craft a bunch of 45-49 gear either for WHM or BRD, grab some friends and have them do the same, and go wreck Urth's Gift for a few hours. Don't bother with the meteor rings - just craft rings for yourself instead. The difference in spiritbonding speed is only about 3% for a full set. Get the company action if you can, and use a spiritbond potion. Level 45-49 equipment usually spiritbonds in 15-20 mins in Urth's Gift.

I like the cave in coerthas near boulder downs. level 49 mobs that respawn almost instantly and are non-aggro or anything. makes for very fast, easy spiritbonding :D I also prefer to use level 45-49 gear with the spiritbond potion and company action.

Out of curiosity though, if I do the level I and II actions together, do they stack?

Depends. Desynth items to get gryph, make full i70 right sides for almost free, put on That Which Binds Us 2 and a spiritbind potion, and run t4 5 times who are all doing the same thing. i70 has a higher chance to yield IVs, by how much I'm not sure.
