Enmity materia changes - will melded gear change too?

[Molly_Millions]

oops. I posted this in the PLD forums, when I meant it to be here.

The question has come up a few times in my LS; will gear melded with enmity materia be changed along with the materia changes?

My guess is that it will change. The reason I think this, is that if you take a look at your melded gear, it seems as though a given melded item is actually still 2 (or more) items the materia and whatever gear it's attached to. I imagine that in the DB, the gear and it's attached materia actually exist in seperate tables that have a foreign key relationship joining the items in the database. Therefore, when enmity materia is updated, our items will be too.

What do you think?



Also for fun; if this is true, have you checked out your post-patch enmity totals? if so what are they? Mine will be 60 for WAR and 78 for PLD if the above statement is true. :P

They've already said that Materia on gear will be updated, I believe.

where? speculation abounds.

this is all the notes I saw in addition to the changes on the announcement:

* The following adjustments, scheduled for patch 1.22, are in development and subject to change.
* The attributes of materia already existing in-game will automatically change to reflect the above following release of patch 1.22.
* In addition to the abovementioned fee, players must also provide a suitable catalyst.
* This method allows only the melding of the first piece of materia to any given item.

Sounds to me like it'll change. I mean if you want to really analyze it, it could mean that materia that has not been melded into any gear will change and that materia that has been melded won't but I doubt that would be the case. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Hello everyone!

We just wanted to pop in and confirm two things, since there were a few questions on them.
Any already melded materia, including double melded materia, that have adjustments to their values (Touch of Rage, Touch of Serenity) will be updated after patch 1.22. Your materia won’t be “dated” and retain the old values or anything.

There was also someone wondering if the new types of materia would be available to be purchased via the Guild Mark exchange, but no, there aren’t any plans to have them added to that list.

Please continue to pass along your feedback!

edit* nvm, answered above. Thanks!


So in that case, have you all taken a look at how much enmity you will gain after 1.22 drops, and what will your numbers look like?

Hmmm hard to say considering it's still in an xx - xx range, so we won't really know where the new changed materia will lie (if low end, high end or in middle.)

yes we do, as an example:

Touch of Rage Materia II Enmity: +3 - 4 => Enmity: +11 - 15

In this example, we can reasonably assume that +4 touch of rage will end up with somewhere around +15 (maybe +13 on the low end) after 1.22.
