New System Involving Materia

[Jinko]

Materia fusion, yes please.

Tier 1 + Tier 1 = Tier 2 etc.

[Sessurea]

imagine the value T5 material would have....the sheer time to spiritbond the equip with requisite ilvl would be insane.

Can't really see us being able to put material in i100+ gear tbh, they are already strong enough for everything the game can throw at us, now imagine coil2 gears with material. Yeah, no.

I hope this involves combining materia for example, 5 tier one materia can be combined to make a tier two materia and so on. Which would give the lower tier materia some value.

Three concepts come to mind.

"Materia Polishing" the ability to upgrade lower tier materia into higher tier materia through some process so the aspect of obtaining a tier III when you wanted a tier IV is no longer as bad as it use to be since you can just go through another step to upgrade it

"Materia Catalyst" a new accesory slot that allows you to attune 3-5 materia through the purchase of a crafted item to add a bit more customization as well as allow the use of resistance materia to be more viable in dungeons and such

"Materia Overlay" Process of adding materia to unique/untradeable gear via the use of a specially crafted Crafter item which would allow you to add materia to gear which once had restrictions to said manner. However with this process each materia attempt would require said catalyst so the process of each meld would have 3 reuirements, the materia, the catalyst, and the specially crafted catlayst based on the repair class for piece of gear.

I like to see the Materia System become less obtuse and more transparent. You shouldn't have to leave the game and search for Stat Caps on Google to figure out which Materia you're basically forced to use. There's very little choice in the system. I'd also like to see more Secondary Stats like Cure Potency, Block % Up, etc.

I hope we can disassemble AF/raid gears into materia in the near future.

Seeing how this new system involving materia was in the same sentence as "additions and adjustments to the Wolves' Den", I think it's pretty likely they're only referring to PVP Materia.

So much truth. As a whole, the materia system is way too restrictive to be useful in the big scheme of things.

I sure hope this isn't true, since my observations lead me to believe that next to nobody cares about PvP.

My hopes:

1) Give players another (better) option for materia generation other than grinding while wearing crappy gear.

2) Change the overmeld process so it doesn't involve spamming meld on a particular piece of gear until it sticks (very tedious).

its the age of Glamour, so im thinking materia infused grills for da mouth. Time to drop the gilzz
