Should you have to be wearing gear you attach to for Materia making?

[twinkles]

A mechanic to use that would promote using your best gear type would be that the best gear type converts into the best materia.

Concern- high rank players using lower rank items. Solution- lower rank items give inferior materia. I actually think this is the way they are going with it.

Example r48 archer using a r30 bow instead of his crab gets a +2 AP materia instead of a +5/6 whatever for using the "more appropriate" weapon.

Yes i know the battle class is not the one making the final materia, but say if the initial catalyst (whatever it is called) would be flawed/superior in this matter.
