    Why would anyone convert a +3 piece of gear that's worth 3m??? Just sell it and buy the materia >.>

    it wouldnt be worth the risk anyway, you get the same materia from NQ gear as HQ so why would anyone do that ever.

    I've been turning my dated +1 stuff into materia simply because I can't slot it with any materia. I had full sets of +1 gear for 4 classes. Most pieces I paid 1 mil or more for. I have 6 +1 DoW weapons that I plan to convert this weekend. Materia is like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play. So I will absolutely take the risk unless its a piece of gear that isn't dated.
