Materia Tier I and II are Junk Items.

[Irondude]

I'd like to see a "Materia Merger" contraption, to let you take 3-5 low level materia put and them together for a chance at a higher tier. Because quit frankly nobody cares about the lower tiers atm. They are a junk item right now.

I am sick and tired of Mind II can you please lower the drop rate for that. Can I get an amen! brutha say whaat

[Nakiamiie]

Nope, they are not junk items. I find them useful for my lower classes and I simply put them in lower armours to sell to add a plus value to it (sells faster). Also, forbidden materia allows you to put many lower tier materia in your gear to mimic higher tier materia (it is risky, but still easier to get many lower tier materia).

If you won't use lower tier materia, why not give them away as presents to new players?

As much as I love what you say, would that mean 7 Ahriman wings = dodore wing?

Trust me I feel you, everyone has the problem, but this is kind of hack -.-

One man's junk is another man's treasure...

I like the eternal materia meld loop to get rid of unwanted materia. Make an item.... spiritbond it... turn it into materia... if it sucks attach it to new gear... spiritbond...

Keeps it out of inventory

What would be cool is maybe turning them in, for credit, say faction, seals or anima!

That would give them a much greater use/worth

I'd buy t2 for 2 anima exchange, like crazy

[Irondude]

whether you think its junk or not i'd still like to do something else with it than NPC or make the least impressive triple bonded hat mnd + 14!

heres your "materia merger"

[indira]

there better than nothing if you dont have a materia IV yet

I'm surprised how close minded everyone appears to be on this subject. I'm with the OP, I love the idea of POSSIBLY being able to meld lower level materia into higher level. There should be a similar risk-reward scheme as there is with forbidden materia; there is a chance of success, but it is not guaranteed. The more/stronger materia you attempt to meld together, the higher chance of failure. This would give us a use for the 20-30 MIND I/II's we all have laying around.. WTF SE??

Anyways, I would appreciate if anyone opposed to this could state a logical reason why this is a bad idea. There could even be an NPC that does this for a fee, adding to the system's value that of a gil sink as well.

I love OPs idea, please give it to us!

I also really love this idea! DO IT!
