Materia for Gatherers and Crafters

[Rukkirii]

Attention Gatherers and Crafters!

Are you having trouble finding equipment that will allow you to meld materia onto it?

When you do find that piece of equipment that can be melded, is the materia selection too limited?

Well I have good news! The development team is looking into increasing the amount of Gatherer and Crafter equipment that can be melded along with adding different materia types for your gathering and crafting needs as well.

Will this be coupled with gathering stats having a bigger impact?

[Hiruke]

That is good news. I've been wondering about this. It would be really nice to be able to meld crafting stats onto something other than the tool. Or maybe if that's still the case after this, some of the new materia types are pretty awesome (such as increasing HQ rate while gathering).

Please do the same for being able to put crafting materia onto clothes

There is no point with this if your going to limit gatherers to only be able to gather 1 raw mat at a time on the end game mats (e.g - cobalt ore). certain stats are almost pointless.

Okay so riddle me this.

What's the point of all this lovely materia if it doesn't effect the final result.

If you still thinking stats don't affect DoH and DoL then you haven't played enough.

Anyone with half a brain can see the end results from stacking perception, gathering or output when it comes to gathering. The secondary stats such as vit and mnd pertaining to mining are equally important. The same can be said for DoH...

That was done to keep high-level items from flooding the markets. Gatherer's can't make as much money if everyone can go out and get lots of those very items at the same time
