[dev1358] Materia Reform - Discussion.

[Klive]

can anyone find the materia cap post? I'm trying to find it to look at.

I looked but can't find it. It was posted on the forums when materia came out, so it is deep within the forum. I could spend days trying to dig it out. If you want to find it, I suggest you search Yoshi's posts.

Anyways, back to materia reform. Since there has been 3 rep comments and none have touched on this can we please get NQ and HQ, not grade 4, version 1 2 3 and 4. Also combine 2 of each resist materia to make it one materia, that would eliminate half the resist materia which would eliminate half the npc garbage materia I get.

I find it absolutely absurd that in the same patch when we got item reform they gave us another inventory killer.

It was actually before materia came out... and it was a random example of Vitality materia (and therefore HP) cap.... but the values of the materia, once implemented didn't really match up with the values given in the example... so it could very much not be relevant...
Unless someone else has done some testing since then or found some dev post since that has clarified anything (Which is possible... my word is definitely not absolute)

There was a list of what each caps at.

I did some digging and I found this. How this helps.

As I posted above, while that's what Yoshi P said, that's not how it works. Any HP/MP you put would show up no problem.

■マテリア効果上限■
Maximum cap for materia effect.

マテリアは全身に複数装備可能であり、禁断のマテリアクラフトによって、
数多くのマテリアが装着される可能性があります。
そのため、各パラメータには「上限値」が設定されています（HP上昇の場合、全身で+280まで）。
For materia craft you can attach to multiple parts, and using the forbidden materia craft it's possible to attach many materias.
For that reason, each parameters have a set "max/cap" (for example Maximum HP cap total is capped/maxed at +280)

My body/pants give 310 bonus by themselves, and glove/boots/belt/shield(when on lolpld) still works no problem.

[Zangetsu]

Was just wondering where people were coming up with imiginary caps for stats. Thought they were maybe relating it to the materia cap.(which doesn't seem to exist)

[Zangetsu]

Wonder if it meant max per item. That would take crazy melds. Or cap was tossed out the window like it seems. Content under development is subject to change.

um... guys.... the cap on HP is 280 per item because the largest bloodthirst is 70. 70 X 4 = 280.

this must be what i was thinking of. Lucky i was asking and not making a statement.


this is the info i was remembering, as someone said it was a bad translation i guess.

this is definitely saying the cap is a stat cap and not a single gear piece cap.
