Materia Stat Cap????????

[Shosasosa]

So they said back when materia came out that the total cap for HP was 280 for all combined materia, but im seeing people with gear with alot more than that. Also seeing people with +76 mind and stuff and im thinking that has to be over the cap. so I wanted to know from the devs what each stat cap is so we dont have to waste out time and money breaking gear to try to make our gear better when we dont even know what the cap for each stat is.

I have heard people say that 380 was cap for HP/MP instead, but that high of a cap for stats like Mind or Strength seem way too high cuz that would more than double your base values. I think it might also be different for other things like crit rate, or magic crit rate because you can get 50 from one materia, where u can only get 20 of a base stat. Any insight?

looks like no one knows or cares so whatever i guess

Don't think anyone actually hit the cap to find out. May need 2 materia in at least a few slots.

Yep, it is simply that no one (or at least, very few people) have actually reached any cap yet.

For example, to reach HP cap you would need at least 4 maxed out rank IV materia, then meld out a 5th one to notice your HP won't go up anymore..

Make sure you're factoring in the base +HP of the gear. For example, the cobalt plate mail has +60 HP that probably doesn't go towards the materia stat cap.

I think I have hit the mnd cap. More MND doesnt seem to be adding any more to my cure 3 minimum. Do you have the link to the information regarding these caps? I will conduct further testing to see if I can find the exact cap for mnd tomorrow.

At the very least I know so far is that the mnd cap is between 51-66

It was only about HP cap but all that is outdated. It was about 28 max HP value for HP matera but actually it's 70 max HP value. It was about 5 gears with HP materia but we actually had 6 gears.

Can anyone confirm MP cap? All I know is that it is above 190, triple melded mp gear is in my future T T

*Edit
MP cap seems to be 190 or 191. Interesting note, lifethirst mp does not count towards manathirst cap.

I think ur stats can show you have more HP or MP or stats than u actually get credit for, for example you could have a total of 400 hp on all ur gear, but you would only receive the 280 or 380 limit

When you hit the cap it will not show up in the attribute window for MP at the very least. I wonder if it is the same for MND.
