[dev1017] Materia crafting system & Materia: A Matter of Mystery (08/26/2011)

There will be more than 5 types of materias available is that is your first question and from what I understand yes, you could have 5 STR+X in one gear.

Wait, are we talking about 5 different grades of materia or being able to put 5 materia on one piece of gear?

5 materias in one single piece of gears is what you will be able to do.

There will be 4 tiers of materias, which I guess will require a certain gear level to attach to (like 4th tier will be for gears level 40 to 50)

To answer your question on the other post, yes in theory if they have a +5 accuracy materia, you'll be able to put 5 of that materia in every gear applicable, ending up with a massive accuracy bonus, but the risk is VERY high for attaching 5 materias so it might take a long while and a lot of time/money to achieve that.

Also, while getting a HUGE accuracy boost, you are not boosting anything else like STR, VIT, Magic resist, crit and w/e other materia that could be good for your class. So someone with over the top accuracy might not be better than someone with varied augments ^^

So getting grade IV Materia on your gear is the easy part, just need high level gear.
But getting multi-materia gear is what will be tricky.
Gotcha.
