Materia +0

hi, I melted some materia in my gear but this is the result



does anyone know what's up?

Each item have a stat cap. For that particular item you can't meld more CP, you should had recived a warnning notification when you mend the materia if you still accept to continue that happen

[BlackShroudMercs]

On the final step before you meld materia, look at the top, if it says something like "this items level is too low for the materia to be added" or some crap like that..

If it says that, switch to a different materia, because for SOME reason items have stat caps and you can't add the materia you WANT to add most of the time..

Yea..

Also, you may know this but the guy who teaches you materia melding is supposed to be able to remove materia for you, or so I have heard, haven't had to do it yet.

I made the same mistake as you then a buddy filled me in, really, really, dumb design on SEs part..

It's because being able to stick 50 STR on a piece of gear would be stupid.

This system is weird at first but you get used to it.

This does indeed work.. I've had to use it when i accidently stuck a CP materia in my gryphonskin armor once. lol

[goldentiger]

yeah but serriously, a lvl 50 item capping at 3 CP, that not even 1% of your total cp at that point. it's just pointless to cap a stat like that.

I would like to work on lists for stuff like this but don't have any III's. It does show stats in red showing if they will get less then what the stats on a materia will show but be good to know the max to know just what materia should use sure not always good to use all III so prob good to use each III/II/I if III or higher doesn't cap.

I did this early on with like a wand but only wasted Mind+1.... and will need non-cook crafter L25 to remove<destroys all materia

And at lv 50 is it really suppose to be slow spiritbinding? stuff, like Lv 48 Hatchet

Stat capping on materia is a really awful idea. The entire point of the materia system is to customize your gear to how you like to play. If the developers feel that being able to add a certain amount of a certain stat is too much, the materia itself should give less to encourage secondary stats. I remember having my Darksteel Scutum crafted and I was only able to put like 2 or 3 vit (total, not 2 or 3 materia) into it, which was the most amazingly disappointing thing ever. No talent trees, ultra limited materia, I'm surprised they let us put our abilities where we want on our hotbars with how much they hate letting us play by a style not specifically intended and designed by the team.
