Materia Pouch: Can we have it?

[darkstarpoet1]

I'm jealous. I blow shit up all the time, but not in that quantity all at once. Sounds like soooo much fun!

I'm currently working on a full set of HQ triple melded cobalt gear for PLD. I'm not sure I have time to complete it before the 1.0 servers go down though, which had been my goal.

i'm not sure whether i'd classify it as fun or sickening lol. to sit back now and look at how much gil i just threw away in over 600 pieces of hq gear and probably 100-150 double melds to get 15 triple melds and another 10 or so double melds total kinda makes me look back and wonder whether it was worth it or not.

that was around 3 months worth of bonding 5-6 full sets of gear everyday to get that many tier 3 and 4 materia that went away in the blink of an eye. then look and say omg i still have pieces i need to upgrade so time to start the process again, but not enough time to do it.

I empathize with the people who choose to blow all their money up rather than blow all their money and need a lot of room for materia. Personally, I sell all my materia and buy melded items, the markup from the seller is typically worth the certainty especially when sellers get desperate to sell a triple meld to recover investment. Since we already have a separate inventory for crystals, clusters, and shards, and we already have separate key items and GC seals and etc it would make sense to have a separate bag for materia.

But the comment was initially made about losing inventory space. We're gaining 25 slots on each retainer's inventory (150 -> 175). We're gaining 10 slots in each retainer's bazaar. We're losing our bazaar. That's a net increase of 60 slots.

We're also gaining however many slots on our character greater than 100 in which we have gear currently stored. For example, I have about 140 slots of gear I carry, and 60 slots left for everything else. When I put most of my 140 items into gear sets, I'm going to gain about 40 slots for everything else, like food, meds, gear I haven't SB'd yet today, materia I have created today, and etc... So in my case I gain about 100 slots in ARR compared to 1.0.

Like I always say when I blow up massive amounts of gear. There is only one way to get really awesome melds.

I do actually consider it fun. I'm not a big crafter. (My highest is 34 LW.) So I have an LS mate help me with making and blowing up gear. When I get to the point where I'm ready to blow up gear, I'm usually on the edge of my seat literally cheering at my monitor when melds go right.

oh don't get me wrong when it works out it's a great feeling..... it's when that hq piece of gear with 2 materia goes boom over and over you start to question yourself lol.

believe me, I know all about that. Right now I'm 0/15 on a really nice tripled kite shield. I'm getting ready for another 15 tries.

i went 0-59 and kept a double melded felt bracers with strength...... that was hard to swallow seeing that many explode in a row especially when they were all hq's lol.

I like this idea. One of my mule has over 100 materias already leaving no more room for other stuff...

Hi Darkstar,

Ouch /comfort. Well at least you got some good Doubles (above post) from the sounds of it. Sorry to hear about the 0/59 streak though.

Random Number Generator, sigh.

This'll probably make some folks cry, but I went 3/5 on a triple melded hq cobalt celata. I think Romi may have been on when it happened, he may be able to confirm it.

Poet, out of curiostiy, were you going for triple tier IVs? or something smaller?
