    Ok folks, here it is:

    Reading Comprehension 101 - "Oh, I get it now!"

    Quoting [dev1017] post. Attaching Materia

    Attaching materia requires the “materia melder” key item, an apparatus which can be obtained via a quest available to Disciples of the Hand level 18 or above (with the exception of culinarians and alchemists). The apparatus allows players to attach one piece of materia per item.

    Players who have met certain requirements can obtain the more advanced ”augmented materia melder,” which allows the attachment of up to five pieces of materia per item. Players can never fail to attach the first piece of materia. However, the success rate progressively decreases with each subsequent piece of materia. A failed attempt to attach materia will result in the loss of all items involved in the process, barring the key item.

    I hope I made this clear enough for you.

    You take the risk, you could end up with nothing. Even the simplest of MMOs have a system like this. Get used to it.

    Don't act like you know better... We don't know what this key item is but its the exception to the ALL. My interpretation is the gear won't get lost but the materia and the other items required in the materia synth will be. Since the Gear is the KEY essential item in Materia Synthesis.

    Actually we do know what the key item is.
