Translations (JP to English)

its a simple balance thing, there has to be at least 3 types to represent the 3 types of gatherers, so they all have some unique item, they need multiple tiers so that people who have leveled gatherer high have some type of benefit to doing so.

All in all its pretty simple. Not as simple as direct slotting, but that wouldnt have worked within the jobs of the game.

They could have had 1 of each tier drop on all gathering types, why split it further ?

And yes it would have worked with the jobs of the game, for example a weaver has a 1 body piece and a 1 materia and slots it into the item, simple.

If players want it removed they talk to the Goblin, you lose the materia.

thats what they have. they essentially have 4 tiers of catalyst per gathering type. each teir corresponds to a level range of the item/materia.

they split it into each gathering type because if they didnt, then some gatherers wouldnt have any special contribution to the process. It ensures that each gatherer type is only competing with the same type of gatherer, instead of other gathering classes, and ensures that each gathering class retains some unique value.

and how you describe it is essentially how it works. weaver has materia item and catalyst and slots it. thats it. the goblin removes it. it sounds like you have no problems with the system, other than maybe each gathering class having unique items?

Some people (including myself) asked on the forums if it's possible to have materia attachment request like bazaar where you can put up the mats + material on your bazaar and other can come and attempt attachment. Here's response to that one



Hope they do it right; this would be a nice feature to have for sure
Specially for people like me who play at weird time when no one is hardly on and can't ask friends to attach Only problem I see is if it breaks some might go crazy... but it's risk they will be making by putting it up to have it attached, if you're scared don't put it up

they could make it so only the first piece of materia can be added by some1 using your bazzar. any futher peices need to be added by yourself. this would prevent ppl getting blamed for breaking things

If it's same as repairs it wont show the name anyways unless you're in a open field and you actually see the person doing it for you + for me I would want it for 2nd+ materia as well. I'm risking my own gear/weapon by putting it up
Only question I asked on the JP side was would the crafting level affect the actual attachment success rate.
(Example: Says needs Blacksmith Level 30 - would success rate be different if Blacksmith Level 30 did as Level 50 does)

If crafting level DOES affect the success rate then there needs to be an option when putting up on bazaar or w/e screen they are going to name it to put minimum level requirement for the crafter to proceed on your items attachment.

Likewise, I think a way around that would be that the player would see the risks from the crafter, and confirm the attempt before the crafter continued.
This would only happen when the % of success was less then 100.

Man this forum needs an official bug report section, especially with all the patches coming fast and furious

Ran into a materia without a type. I.e. instead of "Dexterity Materia I" I got "Dexterity Materia" Looks like a I but in english the type is missing. If you could pass that on to the JP devs.

Incidentally - looks like rings/earrings/jewlery in general are going to be a major source of materia. I simply leave them on no matter what I'm doing and they spirit bond quite quickly because of that. Then, when they bond, I craft myself a replacement set and convert the current set to materia. I've gotten to the point where I simply vendor the less buff ones. Nice to see they are addressing the availability of catalysts for melding in patch 1.19a.

It's crazy...it's almost like they have a sub-forum for In-Game Bugs already there!

My bad, bug posted. Tks

Haha, no problem. Sorry, I had to give you a hard time...you were asking for it.

Well originally I said I would have preferred materia to be like gems in WoW, where any materia can go in any item not destroy the armor, not require extra catalyst and tbh not require a craft to install them.

Its one of those unique Japanese dev things where everything has to be done in the most time consuming and akward manner possible.

No point discussing this really in this tread anyways.
