Forbidden Materia

[Medura]

Ok, iv'e gotten the forbidden materia item, and ive added 1 materia, to add my second materia, it is a 26% chance of success 1/4. When adding my third, were down to 7% success rate! Meaning that to add 3 materia we will need 50 of the gear, 50 of the catalyst and 50 of the materia. This is about 3 full days of farming, for only 3 materia added. A bit much maybe? with 7 materias we will have to try about 300k times to get ONE gear with seven materia, meaning that in about 4-5 years we will have one person with a gear with 7 materia. Oh, and did i mention that this is level 1 materia? Level 4 materia is MUCH harder to make meld.

For the most part, I think I am okay with that, especially seeing some of the materia out there.

Its supposed to be difficult to get additional it on, that is the whole point. Think of the insane stats you could get by stacking.

Huh??

Its called risk versus reward. The rewards of several materia on the newer high end crafting gear is insane. Thus to add the percentage of success becomes more limited.

It is not an issue with SE here, its an issue with your logic, thought process, and outlook one this.

Balance. For example, did you honestly expect to be able to stack 3 + 20 STR materia on something with absolutely zero risk?

No, but an 18.95% chance on adding a second tier four on a tier four slotted item is ridiculous. With that math, it should tell you 0% when you try to add five tier 4! How is it possible to succeed on a zero percent chance? K

But it isn't a zero percent chance. It's just very very low. It falls at an exponential rate.
A higher risk will yield a higher reward and a weapon with +140 Strength will be one of unequal value.

but but but
i should be able to have +140 str on my weapon with no risk!

The game is balanced for ppl having one gear in each item. if it was easy to get 2 or 3, the game would be easier than it already is.
