FFXIV Live Letter VI General Discussion

[Nekomataya]

Now if someone can explain this to me..
I never craft, and I will be picking it up in ARR finally, in MMO's.. so I don't really get the melding of "forbidden" materia. What's the story behind that? In the few months I played I didn't really get to that point of adding materia, so I'm a little lost on that :-/

I think they mean 'forbidden' as in, melding more materia to a piece of equipment than the amount of slots it has is a 'forbidden/secret' skill. So it's not the materia themselves that are forbidden.

I believe you needed to do a quest in 1.0 as well, before you could attach more than one materia to equipment.
