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

[Felis]

NM dropped gear is between 25 - 35.
From high level NM you only get mats, which the crafters can use to make your NM gear, or stones from the leve NMs, which you can give the NPC (and other mats) to make your NM gear with this. I think in both you can put materia (the gears are tradeable after all).

The story about dungeon gear:
+3 gear without materia > +0 dungeon gear
HQ gear with Materia (1 or 5) > NQ dungeon gear without materia
Time to get HQ gear < time to get dungeon gear (if you are in a good LS)
