[ Dev's ] Gear Swaps Can I have It?

[Cairdeas]

I don't think it'll take a month worth of wearing a piece of gear to fill the prerequisites for manufacturing materia. Maybe a week at most. I really don't think it'll have everyone running around in NQ for an extended period of time. Honestly, while a valid concern, I don't think it'll be as ad as you are making it out to be.

I bet you the time it takes to out rank a piece of equipment it will be made into materia. Any more time than that, and people might as well just repair it for resale instead transmuting it. If it takes an extended period of time, it would do absolutely nothing for reducing the number of NQ's on the market.

I wouldn't Expect it to take one round of Guild Leves to be honest.
