    Forager's Gear Melding Caps

    Have these been discovered yet?

    Generally I use http://ffxiv.ariyala.com to assist with working out my optimum materia melds but even they have some stat caps listed as "unknown" on certain pieces of Forager's gear.

    Anyone figure it out yet? Here is a list of currently known info, and I'll update the OP as needed, when people post their research (proven with screenshots). All gear used should be HQ of course.

    Forager's Offhand
    Gathering - 14
    Perception - ??
    GP - ??

    Forager's Vest
    Gathering - 12
    Perception - 6
    GP - 0


    Forager's Wristguards
    Gathering - 10
    Perception - 4
    GP - ??


    Forager's Slops
    Gathering - 6
    Perception - 1
    GP - 4


    Forager's Slops
    Gathering - 1
    Perception - 6

    Made a set of Forager's Wristguards HQ.
    Base stats are +52 Gathering, +4 GP.
    Can meld +10 Gathering, +4 Perception, no GP.
    Can also meld at least +4 STR/INT if you're a moon miqote and are peeved you can't unlock the 5-hit lv50 nodes :P

    Awesome, thanks for the info! Any chance you can post a screenshot of the piece with materia on it?

    Wow this sounds like an oversight by the devs.... the line between being able to unlock a node or not should not be so thin that it can be broke by racial base attributes X_X They should really review this...

    Glad I'm not the only one that gets annoyed by that.

    IIRC its like 2 points away so yes the base race stats actually make the difference.

    Well, there was no need to overmeld but here you go.

Your +10 Gathering matches up with what the calculator says, and the +4 Perception on your gear proves we can add at least 4 Perception to it.

    Do you have any GP+1/2/3/4 and/or additional Perception +3/4 materia you can check the overmelds on? If we can't get any extra, it'll have a +0 before you actually attempt the meld so you won't waste anything of course. If we have further stats to gain though, it'd be nice to know!

    Thanks for the help so far!

    You only need +2. I have +2 STR on my miner's set, +2 INT on my botanist's set. All for one lousy extra swing at one lousy node.
