Materia Craft

[BloodLotus]

I seriously hope that non-crafted gear like faction items or dungeon rewards that can't be HQ'ed get more materia slots / better materias / materia effect boost.

Unless they change the whole HQ system that is pointless on armors unless you're tanking (and a bit OP on weapons making Ex ones completely useless).

This is also indirectly linked to the stat/attributes revisions, so I'm really looking forward to see what's their own global plan now that we have some content worth min-maxing for.

I can't remember where, it might have been Reinheart's original translation thread that the devs said Materia Enhanced Crafted Gear will be Better than Materia Enhanced Dropped Gear.

Edit: Found it. The main article. The Clarification Post

Should of asked that too...forgot about how many slots each equipment get, if it's only 1 or if some can equip multiple. From how they responded seems like 1 imo but should of checked lol

In that same area (Edit: it was in this thread) they said you can only put one materia on a piece of gear BUT there is a forbidden technique to place an additional materia on the piece of gear with a high risk rate.

I think that was for gear in general. And thats what we see with this current ear from 1.18. The dungeon weapons are better than their +1 (and sometimes +2) crafter counterparts, but the +3 crafted weapons are superior to the dungeon weps.

I'm not sure if I invented this part in my head or they actually said it but I think you will lose the piece of gear if the second materia enhancement fails.

They totally did say that because I remember reading it too.
