I'm so confused lol.
So if we meld more perception than the cap (which i dont know any caps lol) We lose perception? Or did i read wrong and you were just saying that its a loss of money since we're beyond the cap?
And each gear slot has a stats cap? or each piece of gear has its stats cap?
Its kinda confusing lol :\

When it comes to melds. You can only put so much of one stat in it. once you hit the cap. You can't put anymore of that stat into it.

Say a gear has 20 perception and has a cap of 25. If you put a T4 Perception materia in (+6) It will only allow you to add the 5 to hit cap and that last point will be lost.

Thanks for the explanation ^^
So the cap is gear~wise, and we do not lose points like i was thinking (X gear has 20 perception, with a cap of 25... i though if i melded a Tier IV (+6 Perception) to it i whould end up with 24 (21-22-23-24-25-24) and os i was kinda confused lol. But now it makes more sense that once it hits the cap, it will go not below nor past it.
