Materia for a Cowl's

Can materia for head piece's be used for Cowl's? If not I think it should as it is effectively your head piece and body.

I apologize for the late reply Eruantien! I was able to get a response from the dev. team about the good points that you brought up.

We first asked the dev. team if they would be able to allow cowls to attach both head and body materia. They let us know that this unfortunately wasn't a possibility with the system.

The question we followed up with was is if they could allow cowls to attach head materia instead of body materia and they said that they are looking into if it would be possible.

There is also the issue of Eyewear going in the Head Slot but not being able to attach any materia to Eyewear pieces.

Omg that would be amazing you could get that cure potency cowl and add so much more potency to it!!

You can attach materia to Electrum Monocles, so it's not all of them.

I like how cowls look, but in my experience Hat+ Body is generally better for stats/def.
Especially since you lose a materia slot as well.

What non-dated eyewear can you not meld headgear materia to? I'll admit, I haven't tried to meld to anything to eyewear, but it seems odd that this would apply to anything...

I don't really get this... All of the meldable pieces have an empty materia slot that you can fill for free (100% success). Is it not possible to just give a cowl two empty slots? You can still make it 5 max, which seems fair since cowls should have higher base stats anyway.

I'm quite sure the answer to that simple solution is "server limitations".

Are you saying it should be 100% chance to make a woolen cowl with already 12 healing pot get two more healing pot materia?

i don't know how to quote you... but yes, i'd say that's fine. That is the bonus for trading two slots with a possible ten materia for a piece where you can have max 5.

Mages are always saying they don't feel the love. Wanting more mages added to the game. Wishing their magic spells didn't cost so much. Seems like they can use all the help they can get.

Thanks for the info on how to quote... seems obvious... lol

Well if body materia was allowed on cowls with free double meld DoW could also abuse this and have risk free 100+ crit attack. Very few people risk triple melds so majority would do this and I do not want to see everyone on server running around in hoodies lol

Ya, I guess the poor people would run around in hoodies. That would be tiresome to see. It just seems like a fair trade to me due to giving up the extra slots on the headpiece. I see your point though.

gotta love how no one responded to this for a month then rep responded, BAM lol. Anyway thanks for the response Rukkirii, I imagine it has to do with how the database stores what gear attaches to what gear and havent got a a many to many relationship table for it. Shame though as I loved my cowls.

you ppl are crazy

if you somehow fixed the server and were offered the 100% for 2 materia; then:

obv it should be 1 tree (and 100%base) for head materia and 1 tree for body materia....... so a HP/MP/VIT/PIE for body and a healers hand or w/e for head materia would start you off on your 100% melds, if you wanted to add more it would be FORBIDDEN!
