Materia System Revisions (06/13/2013)

The interesting thing to me is how this will influence economy. With gear becoming bound to you after wearing it in battle a single time, this takes emphasis away from simply mass-producing gear for people to blow up through melding and places emphasis on primarily selling HQ equipment for a few extra stats/epeen, and/or converting that equipment into materia. Incidentally this makes shopping and upgrading more streamlined and painless, as well as largely simplifying the money-making process. That's a good thing considering we still have to use the market wards, rather than getting an auction house.

The only downside really is that it will make it just a little bit harder for crafters to find a niche to settle down into for profit. That's not to say it will be impossible, just slightly less opportunity for it than before.

I hope the exchange rate is more than reasonable, I worked really hard on some of my melds (or mostly just spent a lot of money).

Sad to see some materia go, especially as some of those were extremely expensive and hard to get.

Im having a hard time with my reading skills... i need more coffee... Question:

Is the npc taking the old materia off my old gear or trying to take my gear... /clings to her clothes.. I dont mind giving the materia away... but I dont want to loose the outfit ; ;

This is an amazing feature from S-E.

I was honestly gutted that the time/money I spent on a Triple Melded Celata +1 with MND would be useless, seeing how MND isnt a damage stat for PLD anymore. Now I can just choose a materia more suitable or scrap it for darklight ;D

[Solace]

Hope I did not just loose my crit attack rating melds..

[Allistar]

I'm loving the changes...just wished I had kept more of the useless materia...oh well.

[Kagato]

Well then... this pretty much guarantees me starting over on a new server.

One of the biggest things holding me back was all my melded gear. Now that the melded gear is useless, HI HO NEW SERVER!

Just hope that there is actually some indication on items about what the stat caps are. Especially since different gear types will have different stat caps.

*Maximum enhancement values can be verified in the materia melding window.

Well, glad I kept a slew of materia!
