FIX GARUDA!!!

Am I missing something here?

He said they stacked up on Materia Gear, they all in AF????

Just AF body since it's pretty sweet for what it is, and a piety body would have no use.
Triple Meld Hat. Double/Triple meld Brand+1, HP Belt, Attack potency/Lightning Potency Boots, and some with double/triple meld legs or Sorcerer pants. Brd in Double/Triple meld gear for Pie and Dex. War had double meld str gloves and heavy darklight body and legs. Whm in double meld Pie gear (darklight boots etc) and magic accuracy gear.

Ahh cool, i didnt know that!

I find it hugely ironic that they implemented this materia system and then completely forgot about it in balancing lol.

Several hunderd million gil go into the making of some of the gear... and that's not close to what would have been spent in total to make it all. I'm still using a double meld INT Brand and trying to triple them and failing... I've stopped making my own double melds since the price of 16+16 Brands are around 5mil now.. I just buy one for 5mil and blow it up trying to triple. I've wasted about 30mil doing this, just for lightning brands. Thankfully now I bought a +52 INT Triple meld hat from the wards that was crazy cheap for 40mil....
