Not sure if this is exactly the place to put this but, I'm confused about the materia melding on the second parts of the relic weapons. I'm trying to get my WHM relic, so the quest said to meld 2 Quicktongue III materias to a Madman's Whispering Rod.

I had a friend do it for me since my alchemist is like level 10 or something, however I only noticed after they melded it that it didn't fulfill the quest requirements. So I checked the materia, and underneath the second one it's red and only has spell speed +5 instead of +6. So I can only assume that this is what is messing with it? Not sure if it has anything to do with the second Quicktongue III being a salvaged materia that I got from a cracked that I had from 1.0.

Is there any way to fix this? The materia and matter cost a lot of money, and I'd hate to bother my friend again.
