Luminary and Forbidden Materia

[Zdenka]

Overall I'd still take Luminary... its high in all 3 categories + the 10 in the stat

Yeah its your choice what you want to use, but was just stating that Luminary are not "the best end all craft tool" in the game. The double melded stat tools are vastly superior to them on any synth L50 or less, while 51-53 synths the 2 tools become closer with the stat tool edging out Luminary slightly for HQing. (obviously Luminary is better for raw success / standard spam if you really don't care if you HQ or not)

To that point then... wouldn't adding 10% to forbidden HQ be a good way to increase the utility of the luminaries?

10% is way too ridiculously high to add to anything involving Materia.

I am concerned about 'Achievement Rewards' having a highly valuable benefit. At present they seem to be on par or only 'slightly' better than other items you can craft or find in dungeons.

To change that would make the Achievement Rewards more than a trivial benefit for those who seek achievement, and change it to a requirement for those who wish to progress skill wise.

That being said, I do not see a downside from implementing a quest or whatnot that eventually yields a reward similiar to that which is described above.
