[dev1017] Materia crafting system & Materia: A Matter of Mystery (08/26/2011)

making gear over and over and over no thx.

In that case, you can just buy the materia!

making gear over and over and over no thx.

If you are not a crafter then there is no worries, just have friends make gear, it is a good reason parts are being removed.

Ok folks, here it is:

Reading Comprehension 101 - "Oh, I get it now!"

Quoting [dev1017] post. Attaching Materia

Attaching materia requires the “materia melder” key item, an apparatus which can be obtained via a quest available to Disciples of the Hand level 18 or above (with the exception of culinarians and alchemists). The apparatus allows players to attach one piece of materia per item.

Players who have met certain requirements can obtain the more advanced ”augmented materia melder,” which allows the attachment of up to five pieces of materia per item. Players can never fail to attach the first piece of materia. However, the success rate progressively decreases with each subsequent piece of materia. A failed attempt to attach materia will result in the loss of all items involved in the process, barring the key item.

I hope I made this clear enough for you.

You take the risk, you could end up with nothing. Even the simplest of MMOs have a system like this. Get used to it.

Don't act like you know better... We don't know what this key item is but its the exception to the ALL. My interpretation is the gear won't get lost but the materia and the other items required in the materia synth will be. Since the Gear is the KEY essential item in Materia Synthesis.

Actually we do know what the key item is.

lol already been taken care of, thanks though.

My fault for replying to the post before reading the rest of the thread. Seems we're all nubs at reading today.

I would like to see more info about this, and more details about the penalty in the process, but definitely this will bring more player back. We are just getting a little introduction to the materia crafting in 1.19. In 1.20 they did mention the materia will be taking it shape and form to what really it meant to be. Hurray for 1.119.

I'm sorry if I did not make it clear to you that I DID understand what was contained in the post about materia crafting. I just hope that they had made a mistake upon translating. This if implemented will just be another bad decision that they will end up having to correct. At least all crafters that have been complaining might quiet down a bit now that it's been made clear the "complexity" they felt they were losing will come back in spades. Better start hoarding those crafting mats now you're gonna need em.
