Thanks I didn't know that! I'll be sure to double check everything... though...

OK... I seem to have done something wrong. I used a Perception +6 Materia for my Dodore Choker, but for some reason I got "red letters" with the added effect of +4 instead of +6 on my gear.

Then I try to do an Advanced Meld and I got +0 on it for some reason instead. Why the heck am I getting this low stats? Plus I broke 3 Materias at a 41% of succeeding to meld onto the gear. This is getting on my nerves.

What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix this?
