    100% Spiritbond Notification Display

    I would like to see something like a green dot on the lower left corner of the gear icon to indicate if the spiritbond of said item has hit 100%

    Also for equipped gear, on the character screen add another small right next to the condition bar that fills up as spiritbond goes up.

    In short, it's becoming a pain having to flip though each and every tooltip of items to check the spiritbond percent.

    Equipment with 100% spiritbond are white dots in the Inventory Grid, whether they are equipped or in an inventory tab.

    EDIT: Also, a list of equipment with 100% spiritbond items sorted to the top:
    /ac (materia extraction)

    Like someone else pointed out, many people disable this. It's just more UI clutter on what can already be a cluttered UI by default.

    The green dot can also be on the armoury chest inventory which isn't included within the UI grid.

    In fairness, what will prevent this proposed indicator from also being disabled, and yet further indicators suggested?

    Idk, man. There's already a visual indicator, so enabling that one seems easier than making another that players will ignore, disable, or otherwise forget.

    I use it quite a bit, but I've spiritbonded a bajillion different pieces over the years.

    Spirit bonding tracks your use of a piece of gear. When it reaches 100% you can convert (now "extract" materia) from it depending on the type of gear. DoW/DoM gear will yield combat materia, crafter gear crafting materia, etc.

    previously, converting a piece of gear into materia would mean you lose the gear because it was consumed in the conversion process. now you can just extract the materia from it and the spiritbond percentage will reset to 0, meaning you can start over again to make it get to 100%.

    there are ways to make the spiritbond rate increase faster - the more materia you meld to a piece of gear, spiritbonding potions, gear that has spiritbond rate increases as part of it (meteor survivor ring), or the manual you can bring back from squadrons.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this. I appreciate it.
