I don't think we can hit the cap w/o Tier V materia... which let's face it... being available only through transmutation is a bit lame.
    actually DoW/M Tier V materia are available through conversion, just that you have to convert i160 chivalric pieces to get any.

    I have not seen any gear between i150 and i170, for crafting/gathering, have you? The current lowest known ilevel to convert to Tier 5 Materia is i160. So ... yes, expect to have to convert the i170 RCS+RGS blocked stuff for Tier 5 Materia.
    I don't know any sane person that would convert their hard-earned crafted gear though to attempt to test this theory of getting Tier 5 crafted materia. The patch notes in 3.05 gave no mention that grade 5 crafting/gathering materia is now convertable, as the 3.0 patch notes explicitly stated that they were not. Even if this were the case, it seems that it's not a 100% chance. Unfortunate things do happen, as with the case of a redditor that tried, but was only able to convert his i170 frying pan into a grade IV materia.

    Didn't know that. Can you SB it in expert roulette? I'd imagine so. Then again, there isn't much good in Tier V DoW/M gear until they release 2-star crafted accessories.

    I've seen on other threads people suggesting that it takes two runs to completely SB an HQ with 3 melds or so (perhaps SB potion as well?). I haven't tried this myself, however.
