Oh, that explains a lot! Thanks for providing the link and I did screw up on my Choker but it was two Materia only so it's no big loss. I didn't know about the Materia Clear option by the Goblin in Central Thanalan, I was thinking of replacing the Choker with another one! Thank you very much!

Don't bother melding the hat.

Once you can access those nodes you will be upgrading to the Forager's Hat.

I was planning on getting the Forager's Hat before I did anything else. Good to know everyone agrees.
