Materia and the gear you lose / Melding from Bazzar Questions

[quantumsaint]

My idea for U/U items is to have them synth into the same materia every time. This way the stat maxers can farm Darkhold or NMs to get the materia they want, instead of playing roulette and wasting tons of gil trying to make a specific kind of materia. For example, the Ascetic's Gear that drops from Toto-Rak, have that turn into rank 31 Intelligence materia. Then if a mage wanted more INT, he or she could run Toto-Rak with a friend to try and get the drop, then grind spiritbind until it it's ready to convert. Now you have the intelligence materia you wanted instead of lifethirst or something else. Casuals can still enjoy random materia while the hardcore have the means to get the exact builds that they want.

No


Ps. SE is going to release (at some point in time lol) the conversion chart of gear > materia.
