I guess he means 1 materia on each piece :P

35 materia equipped with 5 on each piece is when you get really good, though :P

Seemed like more of an observation, from reading it <______________<

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.

Probability doesn't work the way you seem to think it does.

And even if it did, be happy. If this were Aion, if you failed to slot a materia it would also break all of the others currently socketed in that item.

Well here in FFXIV it breaks the whole item if you fail so...

Really? Geez. That's even worse.

I really don't like this system :/ I'm fine with a risk vs reward system, but it's infuriating when you blow up 10 shields, all of which had a 27-30% success rate for the 2nd slot, then someone else slots it first try.

Random number generator stuff with very little skill involved is not what I want from this game, it's why I quit Aion.

seems to me this whole thread is the exact opposite of this thread
1 Materia makes any crafted item better than any NM/Raid/Dungeon

its balance you should not get 3 or 4 slot materia easy. if you do then the ppl that argue that raid gear is useless are right.

trust in the fact SE is trying to make the game balanced for both combat and craft
