    Materia for Alkalurops

    Hi all!
    I recently got the Alkalurops rod for my WHM since I got tired of trying to farm a primal one ><
    Anyway I really want to enhance it with materia but I'm a bit uninformed on what materia would be most appropriate for it.
    I -think- spell speed is capped on it, and please correct me if I was wrong, so I'm thinking of going DET or PIE.

    Would appreciate help about this!

    MND, VIT and PIE are already capped on Alkalurops. The remaining caps are:

    +9 Spell Speed
    +20 Determination

    Determination scales much better than Spell Speed does currently, so that's the wiser choice to go for. I wouldn't worry too much about hitting those caps, but if you still want to, I would suggest either:
    • Savage Might Materia III (4)
    • Savage Might Materia III (4)
    • Savage Might Materia III (4)
    • Savage Might Materia III (4)
    • Savage Might Materia III (4)
    That combination will cap Determination and wouldn't be too costly either with the current Materia prices. The other choice is:
    • Quicktongue Materia IV (9)
    • Savage Might Materia IV (6)
    • Savage Might Materia IV (6)
    • Savage Might Materia III (4)
    • Savage Might Materia III (4)
    That combination would be perfect, though costly; and slot three could potentially cost you a lot of gil. If it were me; I wouldn't even bother putting any Materia in. The weapon still performs really well without any and it's just an inbetween weapon until you get your Thyrus.


    Hope that helps. Good-luck!
