melding lore gear

[Tchaktuli]

there are caps yeah ...hailstorm chest

30 cap for det
and 106 for crit , acc and spell speed

u cant meld MND.

This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has had dealings with materia in the past. For every major piece of gear, the primary stat materia (strength, vitality, mind etc) is at its maximum value by default. In fact, the only exception to this is some NQ gear, where you can meld main stat materia only up to the value of the HQ gear.

Combine this with the fact that main-stat materia can no longer be used in forbidden melds and it's basically worthless these days.

Thank you both for the info. ^_^ It keeps me from making a mistake in what I am saving up for to add to the gear. It also makes me wonder if it is even worth it to add the materia to it though as it takes quite a bit of any secondary stat to really have much an effect compared to the main stat. I mean it would take adding the same secondary stat to each piece to really have a noticeable difference right?
