New System Involving Materia

[Gerolan]

I agree with most of the ideas, would be nice if materia added things like cure potency, X damage added to fire spells, damage over time spells potency increase etc
And the idea of one it's bonded to 100% you can re do it! love that idea! makes materia a form of progression where it improves as your killing power does

What about materia merging? Like 5 lvl 3 materia to make a lvl 4 of the same kind and so on?

Think merging be cool if also be one of many process to acheive a relic form of materia as well. also maybe maybe add small % to add additional effect on the merged materia to make it more marketable on the AH just saying :P

Example: Materia IV +5% to fire based attacks additonal effect add Burn debuff for 10 seconds.

Im honestly hoping for better chances to attach the materia. Getting to the final forbidden slot and having a 9% chance to attach materia and losing a 90k worth materia 20 times in a row is a heartbreaker. Im hoping they adjust it and make it to where you get a bonus to attaching materia based on how high your control is. Maybe say your control is over 375 it gives you a 25% bonus to all forbidden slots. Ive lost millions and millions in gil to this system, the cost of materia is too high for such I high rate of failure. And i know other have lost millions as well. Your stats in crafting should really have some kind of affect on attaching materia.

Please, no. ;_; They already took a (welcome) step away from the Korean MMO model when they abolished the "fail an overmeld and it destroys the equipment" - let's keep moving in the same direction.

Aaaaaand you called it..... but with 100% more RNG than expected.... ; ;

I would venture to say that adding materia to endgame gear is not likely as this would cause balancing issues. More variety in stats would be nice, but not sure I would call that a new system, just more options in the existing one. For the sake of speculating, I am leaning towards a new way of obtaining materia.

I hope it increase the ilevel of overmelded crafted gear (and make the gear character bound once it get overmelded because of rmt)

New type of materia:

Raw _________ Materia I-V (Blank would be, say, Incantation, which would increase the power of your summoned companions by 3%, or Ireful, which would increase enmity generated by weaponskills by 7%) - obtained with a 2% chance from any FATE (level 1), can drop with a low percentage from any dungeon boss (sub 50 2% chance for a level 2, 50+ 2% chance for a level 3), can be converted from Darklight armor (levels 1-4, 35% lvl1, 35% lvl2, 15% lvl3, 15% lvl4), or can drop Coil T6-9 (lvl5, 5% drop rate)

Raw Materia is unequippable, it must be rounded or refined by Crafting classes 01-04 using a special material that is never consumed but always used to adjust the materia, and a high level gathering item or two, and then can be cut or shaped to fit an armor type (head, feet, body, finger, etc) by crafting classes 05-08, with the same special crafting requirements.

EVERY piece of armor in the game now has an additional slot for these materia that is only unlocked after it has been spirit-bound to 100%. To insert the materia, you need an item that is dropped in T3, all hard and extreme mode primals, and can be purchased with Mythology Tomes. This item can be traded and is consumed when used, maybe 2-3 at a time.

Crafters = happy
Raiders = happy
RMTs = not able to join in


WOULDN'T THAT BE FUN!?

Materia fusion, yes please.

Tier 1 + Tier 1 = Tier 2 etc.
