Quicktongue Materia III

[Sapphidia]

The white level 49 Goldsmith-crafted items are the best way to get these.

Buy yourself a necklace, 2 rings, earring and maybe bracers, of whichever gem type matches up with the type of stat you want. Eg, as a Paladin, I used 4 Amber tanking jewels, which had Parry on them. I'm not sure on the way it works out, but I believe there's a much higher chance of getting a materia with the stat type you want if the item has that kind of stat on it already. So after extracting 5 of these white 49s once I'd spiritbound them, I ended up getting 3 Battledance Materia IIIs (the parry one for the paladin relic).

I hear different things about the way Materia is chosen. Quicktongue is Spell Speed, so I -believe- you have a much higher chance of getting Quicktongue Materia IIIs out of the level 49 TURQUOISE earrings/rings etc than out of any other item, as Turquoise gear has Spell Speed. This might be incorrect, some people have said the stats don't matter and it's purely random, some people say it does matter. But after getting 3 Battledance Materia out of 5 extractions of items with Parry on, I'm inclined to believe it holds true. You can still get bad materia like wind/fire resistance from any though.

It takes 3-4 runs of AK or Castrum to spiritbind a ring. Every time you hit 100%, extract it, and either sell the Materia III you get to finance more buys, or you got lucky with hte type you want.
