Gryphonskin Jerk

[FCrowles]

Hey there! I finally obtained my HQ Gryphonskin Jerkin. Yay me. Now I have come to my next two dilemmas.

Dilemma one! Materias. I am currently on the Famfrit server. It's a fairly new server so there aren't any IV materias in the auction and if they are its for a price inconceivable by the average adventurer. Is it still worth it to use Savage Aim III? Is there like a "Crit cap" for the armor itself? Or can I just use all Savage Aim III? Is there a better materia for monks than Savage Aim?

Dilemma two! Dye. I just can't decide what color to die it! T_T

For the first dilemma, since the first two slots are guaranteed success I would do your best to try to get a Tier IV materia. If it's really not feasible to do so, then 3's will suffice until you get the AF+1 (which should absolutely come after upgrading your Relic to +1). The Materia caps for pieces vary, but for HQ Gryphonskin you can safely go with 3 Savage Aim and 2 Savage Might (or 2 and 3, if one is way more expensive for some reason.) Going with 4 Savage Might will cause the fourth one to only function at partial effectiveness, so you'd get less out of that than a +det materia.

And I dyed mine white because the only part that actually changes color is the belly area, thus I think it looks nice with the undershirt thing being white. Try out a bunch, you can buy dyes from an NPC for dirt cheap.
