    Materia Overmelding & Removal - Process Refinement

    Materia overmelding can be such a pain in the butt sometimes, right? Sure, you might get lucky once in a while, but then you'll stumble into that 10% chance that ends up burning through 42 materia while you scream in a Limsan dialect. I have a proposition - an idea - which would make this process a bit more sane!

    You know how we have totems for the completion of difficult trials? Those totems remove a bit of the pain caused by RNG. You are guaranteed a mount after (ugh) 99 runs. My idea: let's take that concept and apply it to materia! The way it would work is like this:

    For every failed materia overmeld or removal, you would get one "Materia Dust" item. I mean, that materia went kablooey, so it would make sense to have at least a hint of dust left, right? "Well dang, what would we do with that dust?" I hear you asking. As it turns out, our ol' pal Mutamix Bubblypots knows a thing or two about mashing up materia, and has managed to figure out how to make a special oil from all that dust! This oil is guaranteed to help with the success or removal of materia!


    Grade 1 Materia Oil
    [UNTRADEABLE][MARKET PROHIBITED]
    Increases the success rate of any materia meld or removal with at least a 50% chance of success to 100%.
    Stack Size: 999
    Sells for: 10 gil

    Grade 2 Materia Oil
    [UNTRADEABLE][MARKET PROHIBITED]
    Increases the success rate of any materia meld or removal with at least a 15% chance of success to 100%.
    Stack Size: 999
    Sells for: 30 gil

    Grade 3 Materia Oil

    Grade 4 Materia Oil
    [UNTRADEABLE][MARKET PROHIBITED]
    Increases the success rate of any materia meld or removal with at least a 7% chance of success to 100%.
    Stack Size: 999

    Grade 5 Materia Oil
    [UNTRADEABLE][MARKET PROHIBITED]

    Of course, to get your hands on a bottle of these oils, you'll need to provide Mutamix with the appropriate materials. Here's my suggestion for the quantities:

    Grade 1 Materia Oil
    2 Materia Dust
    1 Aether Oil

    Grade 2 Materia Oil
    15 Materia Dust
    1 Aether Oil

    Grade 3 Materia Oil
    25 Materia Dust
    1 Aether Oil

    Grade 4 Materia Oil
    35 Materia Dust
    1 Aether Oil

    Grade 5 Materia Oil
    50 Materia Dust
    1 Aether Oil

    So there's the idea. Item flavor text has been redacted due to post length. I welcome feedback!
