Materia

[Felis]

Materia as a drop would be against the FF XIV materia lore (building up a memory with your gear then transform this memory in materia). But like the primal weapons SE can bring boss gear that can spiritbounding into special materia. Then everyone have the choose, keep the equip (like darklight body) or get the materia.

And materia earned from U/U equip should be U/U too. If someone want this special materia he should first fight for the gear and not just buy the materia.

But why couldnt you obtain materia from races that made materia themselves? Or materia made from Erozea, FF is famous for the land having a spirit and will (hence memory).

Or perhaps a rare drop is a armor piece, and you have a chance that armor piece comes spirit bound - giving a 100% chance to form into a rare materia.
