Obviously, my question is about melding materia.

The quest for both breaking items into materia and melding materia have been completed and I have the skills. The melding materia quests specifically requires you to be lvl 19 in any DoH craft (except culinary and maybe one other). I leveled Alchemy to 19, completed the quest, and tried to meld my first piece.

I have the materia, the sockets, and the Carbonized Matter of the correct grade. However, in the materia melding box it still has a "Armorer craft required to meld materia" message. There was no mention of this in the actual quest, and regardless I went and started Armorer lvl 1 in case it was only requiring an Armorer's tool. This did not work.

End question: Does melding require a specific level of a specific class? (ie. lvl 19 Armorer). It seems ridiculous the quest would not have specified this, and that the melding box doesn't specify a level requirement, only a job.
