New System Involving Materia

[UBERHAXED]

They said several times that this addition wouldnt arrive until cap raise, so exp at earliest.

So what to lvl 90 gear SB into? The same stuff that lvl 70 gear does? Looking at the post which has a JP translation, "system updates related to materia" means just that.

I Got a Good Materia Obtain a high-grade materia through transmutation.

What high-grade materia actually is, I guess we find out on our own.

[UBERHAXED]

Tier 5? You know, since we had the tier 5 carbon matter since launch.

I'm aware of that. I didn't misread her post.

But your comment has nothing do with what she said in her post. At all. So you didn't misread, you just responded completely randomly?

I heard that on the french release notes page it's explained as combining 5 materia to get a higher grade one.

. . . Kinda glad I create all my materia myself because this is really going to make the lower-tier materia hard to come by on the market board and we do still need those for penta-melding. Overall a welcome change, though, and something to do with all the unwanted materia sloshing around in our FC chest.

Well, jokes aside, elemental materia should get a use in the future.

I like the idea of changing overmelding to a system which enables you to influence the outcome and reduce the pure RNG factor.
And I also agree that the stat caps should be visible when you select an item in the melding window.


Off topic:
And why do people always come up with the argument that crafters will always be needed to craft gear for materia conversion and to meld materia?
Why become a master crafter if all you do is meld materia and craft 0-star gear?

Master crafters also craft vanity gear ^^

Game is back online I heard. Still at work so did anybody already do the quest and can tell us how it works? Can you choose the Materia you will receive? Or is it just a RNG upgrade +1, for example take 5x Materia I and receive a random Materia II for it or use 5x Materia III to receive a random Materia IV?

[Lausac]

I have only tried it 3 times, but it seems to give you a random materia from ANY of the same tier

So 5 materia I's gives a random materia I, 5 materia IV's give a materia IV
