Thread: Bosses, Crafters, and Materia.

The Materia system has wiped out pretty much everything content. Darkhold, most of the Ifrit Weapons, and most of the Stronghold rewards are useless comapred to it.

The only way to make it all balanced and even out is quite obvious.

Make ALL bosses drop materials, absolutely no dropped U/U gear. Give the material to a crafter, and have them make the gear. When made the gear is still not U/U. They can then put materia into the gear making it even better.

The crafter can then trade it back to the user. When they equip the gear it then becomes bound to them and becomes U/U.

This way, there is a reason to repeat dungeons and primal fights more than once, crafters are still getting work, and content gear isn't rendered completely useless.

My two Red Wizard gil's is less than 2 gils of Gath.

I said they become U/U when the crafted item is equipped.

saying that a materia gear is possibly better than dropped gear, is not the same as showing proof that it actually exists

Have you seen the two mage weapons? Those things are the most pathetic items. You can easily craft a staff or wand with more Magic attack potency than those.

ifrit horn drop would have made much more sense imo

...or make better U/U gear drops.

They have with the Ifrit weapons. Claws, Harpoon, Battleaxe and Bow are best in slot even compared to triple melded weapons really. The reason is simple. The actual damage value of the weapon does far more for the damage dealt than attack power or strength.

I disagree with the removal of directly looted items from battle content though.
