I just want to be able to socket rare/ex stuff.

Yea that was one of my biggest beefs about the old system, you couldn't slot raid gear or AF.

Because that wasn't the purpose of the system.

The OP idea sounds great, u should be in charge of materia system! :3
I'm so tired of waiting for official news, and every time a dev shows up they say ''wait a little longer blabla'' =/

OMG OMG OMG PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOREEEEEEEEEE STAT STACKING MATERIA TO GEAR. THAT IS ALL

Making the materia system FF7 slot based wont eliminate the need for crafters. reduce maybe, but someone still needs to make the gear to get slotted.

Last they said before this, they were going to increase meld rates and do some other balanicng stuff with materia so one piece with multiple materia isn't OP anymore.

I find this reversal puzzling. The whole point of multi-melding was supposed to be extra powerful abilities. From the beginning it was sold as a way to be OP... and now that's suddenly bad?

Anyway, I don't know what caused the change of heart, but I would like to still have something to strive toward besides mediocrity.

I thought it was because the korean upgrade system is just frustrating since its all about chance and nothing about skill or time.


10000 hours, 10 hours you still have the same chance. Though imo that means totally modifying the system from how it is now.

True, but if someone able to spend time on melding, they be surpassing dropped gear

Well you'd make dropped gear have slots, and crafted gear with slots. Now that dropped gear has slots you would give crafted gear a slight buff since both would have their own terms of standing. Then add more recipies to crafters such that there are epic recipes that are par to par of dungeon equipment in strength and challange to get, and then step up gear that is fairly cheap and can get you a quick leg up.

Edit: I like Forgo's idea of letting crafters of the type of item they craft they can add slots to it.

I'd prefer to see slots and costs with non stackable materia.


so you could have a 2 cost strength materia +5 strength or a 1 cost strength materia with +3 strength.

With a 3 slot armor you could go:

+5 Strength
+3 Dex

Or

+3 dex
+3 strength
+3 mind

That way you could think about the strategy of stats.

Yes make it where the crafters have to put slots on gear to be able to slot materia so you can't just slap materia on a piece of gear rather take it to your crafter buddy have them put a slot on the piece of gear you want (with chance of fail and not sloting or chance of putting in more slots with hq) and boom now you can place a materia in but will need a jewel crafter (maybe) to get it out without breaking gear (doing it yourself without jewel crafting will break gear..why not?)

Yeah Shougun, you lost me at "Korean Upgrade System" lol. If you care to, you'll need to break it down for this neophyte.
