Thanks, it doesn't mention any specific crafting skill or level of that skill sadly. My materia, carbonized matter, and item level already meet the requirements. It looks like some more experimentation is due as either my game is bugged beyond use or the system is still poorly understood and no one is bothering to explain it entirely :/

To give her he much needed answer:
Each particular piece of equipment has both a class and a level tied to it for materia melding, it's in the equipment's information box!
For example, you levelled Alchemist to 19, so only equipment which is made by Alchemist (books and conjurer wands) with a melding requirement of at a maximum of L19 (Ash Wand and Engraved Leather Grimoire) can be melded by you.

Thank you so much for finally providing a legit, comprehensive answer. This is exactly what I was looking for, and I apologize that I had not seen it in the item info box. As a lancer this apparently means I must level Leatherworking and Carpentry to meld. I very much appreciate the answer.

I might not have been clear enough in my previous reply in post #8 but it twas the same (only less detailed) ...
