Better Materia System

[Shougun]

I had a somewhat similar system in mind, but the like others have stated, Materia needs to remain as an effective gear and gilsink, and making a materia-melding class diminishes the value of the original crafting classes.

....[more quote here]

I was similar to this originally, and I do approve of it.

I only thought having a crafter to make the materia would add an additional cost to the materia while also removing even more RNG (replacing a bit of the gilsink that would be missing from lowering double meld+ prices). I feel it fits in well because of goobuex looks like he is crafting that stuff.

Im still curious why people think my idea takes gil out of the system from other crafters. It only removes it from the random melding - like yours is still maintains the use of gear spirit binding.

Edit: Want to add that this system still has a bit of materia overflow - another thing i wanted to solve with my system - making materia more expensive and rare (though indeed you accounted this for at least the more expensive materia).
