Untradeable

[Leo_Hart]

* Certain gear cannot be converted into or enhanced with materia.

* In order to attach materia to a certain piece of equipment, Disciples of the Hand must fulfill the class and level requirements for crafting it.
* It is possible to have others attach materia on your behalf, as long as the gear you wish to enhance is tradable.

We don't know what gear could not be enhance but if untradable gear could be enhance which you need to do it yourself.

I hope that the U/U gear from dungeons is able to accept materia. I may be biased though as I have all the pertinent crafting classes to 50.

So you think meterai can be added to it if you have the required crafting class ranked up?

Yes.

Which I think is totally acceptable, I more so trying to fish a response from SE concerning untradeable gear.

U/U gear will be able to be enhanced, at least some of it. It remains unclear if we can turn it into materia though.

U/U will NOT be able to be enhanced.

Here is the rep answer on this. Was posted on the French forum which I translated.

He also says that NM/Dungeon gears will not become obsolete because crafter gears with materias will be balanced in regards to them.

It wasn't specified if U/U gears can turn into materia, but I'd suspect that yes they can.

so basically if you have the dungeon gear then the materia system will become pointless.....sigh

Thanks Perrin for the dev response.

That's NM gear, not raid/dungeon gear.

That's NM gear, not raid/dungeon gear.

you honestly think they would exclude tradeable NM gear but not untradeable dungeon gear that is usually better then NM gear?

Most NM gear is not tradeable.. lol

I doubt they mean crafted NM gear.

NM gears are Rare/Ex just as are the dungeons gears. Imo they won't make 2 categories for thoses gears but rather they will balance the gears obtained in events such as dungeons and NM so that all Rare/Ex gears are competitive to crafted gears with materia.

I already requested more info on that and will post when I get a more specific answer but my guess is that any Rare/Ex (U/U) gear won't be able to be enhanced with materia and all crafted gears including crafted gears from NM drops will be able to receive materia.
