Make materia inlaying a NPC action, not a crafter action

[Radaghast]

There's alot of assumptions in this thread on how the system is going to work and what's going to be available to attach. There was no mention of HQ catalysts, or if gear busts if you fail a double inlay (for starters). No mention if the materias will have wild crazy special stats like double attack or just lowbie +def, attributes, atk, resists etc.

Buying gear to blow up is going to cost 50k at best with all the flooding. This is assuming we know that HQ and NQ gear don't raise or lower the chance for a HQ materia (again we don't know). I also think this is a retarded concept in the first place as everyone will be running around in sub optimal gear to turn into materia. Does anyone at SE even think of this shit? I'm hoping it will be limited to 1 or 2 pieces you can build attachment points for at a time.

Also assuming that catalysts will or will not be in tiers. We don't know if there will be grade 1 or grade 5 catalysts or if they're just uncommon drops as you're harvesting. Or if they will be in tiers of quality that up chances to attach double materia. If they're common, they'll be cheap anyway.

Attaching materia we also don't know if it'll be crafter specific or if any crafter can do it. Or what level you need to be to attach it depending on the level of the gear. I'd wait a bit more to see what we can actually do before crying foul.
