Instead of gear loss how about a less harsh outcome?

[TheVedis]

Alot of people are thinking of ways to mix/max without the risk, and thats is where i feel this thread is coming from

it could also be the fact that the OP is very very misinformed

there is 0 risk in losing your gear/materia when you put the first one in

after that, its your CHOICE to take the risk to keep going
you make the CHOICE to risk breaking your gear by putting in materia 2-5
you make the CHOICE to do this and no one is forcing you to do so


so if you dont wanna lose your hard earned gear...dont try to slot it 2+ times!

Ok, for the complaints about luck, consider this. Don't do it. Let the crafters do it. Obviously some people are really looking forward to this, predominately crafters I'd assume. You don't like luck? Ok. Save you're money. As you turn your items into materia, HQ or NQ, sell it.

Put the proceeds in a savings account with all the other money you've earned doing whatever, and when you have a nice stockpile, or VERY nice stockpile, go shopping in the market wards. You can search for the items you're interested in, and look around to see what works of art other people have created and what they're asking for. Then buy a 4 or 5 materia-ed gear.

It's still a long and tedious process as I'm sure people will ask for a LOT for these items, but at least you're not ever losing anything. Someone else, who enjoys it is. Have you nay-sayers even considered this? If you want specifications, find a professional crafter and put in a "work order;" negotiate over a price, and let him do his thing. In a week or maybe month depending on what you're asking for. Fork over the dough and enjoy the item you've been saving for.

On an extra note, I'm not a crafter, but it would be nice if the professional crafters had a way to sign their works of art that others will be drooling over. Then they'll know who to go to.
