Item Binding

[Judge_Xero]

Buying a piece of gear to see if it's better than the one you have:
- training dummies - No exp accumulated - resell if it's not as good

Sharing gear with close members:
- maybe an option you can unlock for Small Companies?

What if I want to add more melds to my gear, but I can't sell the one I've been using:
- If I remember correctly, melding a piece of gear resets the SB to 0%

The effectiveness of the base stats was being altered (reduced/capped lower) and chance for successful Melding increased:
-This in itself warrants the change to gear being Bound on Spirit Bond - (surplus of circulating Multi-Melds)
-Increased need for old gear to be turned into Materia (More Materia Demand)
-Multi Melded gear wont be worth as much and/or dictated by economy anyways.

It seems like this is a good thing, both to keep the crafters busy and a better way to balance the economy.
(Increased gil rewards through questing can mean people that don't craft/gather might actually afford stuff - SBing for materia and questing ='s gils)
