Post those Crazy Materia Meld Pics

Since we all know a nerf is coming to melded gear in some form @2.0, lets see just how crazy some of those melds out there are....

I will get the ball rolling.

This one was 9% on the last meld...

This one isn't mine, but one of the cooler 5 melds I have seen..

Please share some of your most outrageous melds.

I got a 5 meld with some completely random stats from tier 1 materia that I have sitting in my bazaar for laughs. I'm at work though, so can't take a picture, and to be honest, it's not really picture worthy. :P

I just bought a ton of melded gear after holding out for the longest, I hope they don't nerf the gear in a couple months. I don't mind a revision of stats, but the gear better still be the good, might kill myself if not (jk).

That 5 meld is amazing.


P.S. Started another thread in hopes to obtain/gather any info on melded gear in 2.0. Check it out in general and add to if you have info.

Those are both jaw-dropping. Statistically that last one shouldn't even exist!

I guess there's tons of SBing on Gungnir? I haven't even seen a useful quad meld on Masamune, and triple melds using more than one IV are rare afaik.

That 5 meld is from a Japanese player on Excalibur, taken from a post here:

There was some crazy 4 and 5 melds on ffxivpro.com but I believe they turned out to be fakes.

Here is some off the old thread from ffxivpro...

Yeah...that's crazy! I think the rich players on Masamune are sitting at 200m and I stay at about 10m myself, not due to revenues, but only because I'm very stingy.

Tbh I'm glad these double melds+ are getting nerfed. Everyone critisizes people who don't have at least one double melded piece of gear. It's just not worth it in the end. Only content that really needs it is Garuda Hard or Ifrit Extreme.

What's all this noise about a Materia nerf in 2.0?

*rummages in her Quote box* Gyoo... gyoo.. oof. Found it!

I wanted to give you some details on what's being planned for stats in A Realm Reborn.

In regards to battle-related stats, it is currently possible to receive large boosts from stats on equipment, while character stats do not have as much of an effect. For example, equipping items with multiple materia melded to it will allow players to become quite powerful. In A Realm Reborn, we are planning to make adjustments so that the ratio of influence from character stats and from gear stats is 1:1. With this, having 5 materia melded onto a single item won’t elicit as large of a difference like it does currently.

Similarly in the current version, even when players add large amounts of INT and STR via equipment with multiple materia and such, it may feel like damage is not increasing and this is due to a damage range that has been set. Fundamentally, battle related stats fluctuate based on the level difference between enemies, and this is also why we are not planning to display evasion rates and other things.

For crafting, the stats in A Realm Reborn will have a greater influence than now, and for gathering, the requirements to obtain HQ items will be visible!

Quite awesome..I like it. If only there was a way to figure out the dmg caps for level differences. From my understanding, insane melding is not really useful unless you want to use one set of gear for a very very very long time.


EDIT: This explains why def seems so useless. I'm assuming there is a min dmg floor based on level differences as well: as in X Boss does X amount minimum dmg to a player X levels below him. But then, how can you balance a game around single melds when the dmg calculations are apparently bound by level differences?

the 1:1 ratio means for example :

player 1 has 250 base stat, and 100 from stuff
player 2 has 250 base stat, and 50 from stuff

player 1 will do 116% of player 2 dmg. ( well its simplified, just to draw a big picture...)

compared to now, lets say 1:1.5

player 1 will do 123% of player 2 dmg

Well truly, i used a big 1:1.5 ratio and the dropdown is not so big

of course its all speculation, but we should still feel more powerfull with triple meld and such

its just a balance, not nerf

It's not nerfing the materia, just reducing the "necessity" for it. Also, did he say that materia will be better for crafters? If so, then my double-melded VIT set for LTW/ARM/CRP will be ridiculous!

Whatever you want to call it, it will make the insane super-melds less broken. Still useful though.

Thanks for the quote.

5 meld with some tier IV's with a 2.95% at the end

No! There was a tier III in there. :P

Not so broken? Why would you risk a triple meld then?

lol...The odds of that gear existing is about 0.003% or roughly 1 in 35000. I am guessing the 4th materia's chance is ~5%.

I know ; ; I blew up over 30 felt bracers +1 to just get a double melds, out of those got only 2-3 doubles, after blowing them up, just said screw it and tried to blow up +38 raptorskin gloves, luck was on my side that one time XD

I did the same thing a while back when I was first melding.

Blew up about 40 felt bracers trying to make a 70+ atk Gloves, gave up and finally ended up keeping one of the 50+ atk ones to then just for kicks go back to blow up my old 40+ atk raptorskin gloves and ended up hitting a triple on them.

I had blown up so many Felt Bracers that I swore off melding them until I saw the perfect 60 double meld on the ah and said wtf, why not try another 30.
