I look at the materia page on FFXIV pro and then I think about vendoring every unique I have to free up some space. Before I click to sell button I think to myself maybe it will be cool to have this useless gear equipped so I can wear it in town. Now while it seems almost everything from before is useless what I am wondering how is how attack power scales. I think Ifrit items are the only thing with attack power and with a base of 20 that may be pretty significant depending on how attack power scales. However, you can get 30 attack power through materia! So it would seem not only the NM items from the past are garbage so are the new ones.
