What does it matter? It's not like you can't convert them anyway. If anything, all u/u gear shouldn't accumulate spiritbind points unless they plan on implementing a system to convert them down the road.

Instead of going the "Oh man its a duplicate, better let it drop," if the weapon you own has max spiritbond, you can convert it to a level IV materia and then take the fresh new drop. You'll get something out of it instead of letting it fall.Quote:

<_< what's the big deal anyway, I don't understand the whole point of wanting to turn primal weapons into materia unless they actually offer unique materia, but as far as I know it's just the same junk you can get from a weapon of the same level. The whole thing just seems like a good way to lose an item you spent countless hours trying to get lol.

figured everyone would understend SB and wouldnt have to put "Convert to Materia" since its the same thing >.>... but yes they do convert to the new materia. I never saved any extra ifrit/mog weapons because at the time u were not able to SB them but now im gettin dupe garuda drops and i cant convert them ><

05-09-2012, 03:55 AMsyntaxliesits not the same thing, I have 100%spirit bond on a lot of my gear that is not converted. Even in the info it will say convertible or not convertible.Quote:

05-09-2012, 03:58 AMMoneyUnderstand that, whats the point of SB if ur not gonna convert tho.... ur getting off the subject here ifrit/mog weapons can b converted and garuda can notQuote:

Perhaps they want to discourage people from only running Garuda for weapons. This way once you're 7/7 on weapons with Garuda, you have a reason to go back and do Ifrit and Moogle (which will help people who haven't had a chance to access that content yet) instead of just spamming Garuda until next update. I imagine whenever they release the next avatar they will let people convert their Garuda weapons as well.

05-09-2012, 04:25 AMMoneythat could b the case im just really hoping that they overlooked it and fix, so i dont have to hold all these extras weapons til the next primal battleQuote:

I have yet to hear of anyone getting any of the new materia from normal gear and personally converted about 100 pieces since 1.22 went live, not a single one.Quote:

What I don't like is that only crafted stuff can use materia. If they feel it's too powerful for better items to have materia (which is stupid) then they could just limit the number of materia you can use. I shouldn't be locked into plain, generic equipment to use the materia system, which I thought was going to be a bigger part of the game than it feels like it is right now.

They should just make all gear convertable.

05-09-2012, 06:04 AMSkiesUhn... I'm going in here making a guess based on how I would do the programming.Quote:

And I presume that 'remove spiritbond value from non-convertible gear' is dubbed "far too much work for far too little gain".
