    You CAN'T meld a primary stat on a HQ item already have this stat... Because HQ caped the item !!!

    On a ring of healing you can put EVERY other stat except mind !

    Ok so everyone is missing this whole post. I understand that ... NOW. I thought with 3.2 coming out materia would change a bit in order to actually create incentive for main stat melding. These materias are no more useful than Elemental ones. I am just asking to see if anyone has figured out stat caps.

    No, the changes were designed to create a disincentive for main stat melding (specifically for VIT+STR on tanks).

    The stat caps are listed on Ariyala if you click the box to not filter out crafted gear. In any event, you can tell what the caps are by looking at similar gear at the same ilvl.

    For all tome/raid/dungeon/HQ crafted DoW/DoM gear:
    • head/hands/feet have the same caps
    • body/legs have the same caps
    • accessories and belt have the same caps (but belts have VIT)
    • all main stats on the gear are at cap
    • one secondary stat is capped
    • the other secondary stat is at ~70% of cap
    • accuracy/crit/skill speed/spell speed all have the same cap
