Issues converting materia

[Norbi]

@Estellios: You're right, I was thinking of another quest in the same area. My bad; crafting classes aren't required to create materia.

HOWEVER:

>>>To create materia, you must first complete the Forging the Spirit quest. The quest giver is Swynbroes, located at The Bonfire in Central Thanalan (23,13).<<<

>>>To unlock converting items into Materia, you need to complete the quest “Forging the Spirit”. The only pre-requisite is you need to reach level 19 or greater.<<<

>>>Upon completion of [Forging the Spirit] you will receive a key item called a Materia Assimilator. This key item will allow you to create materia when certain conditions are met.<<<

>>>After completing “Forging the Spirit” you will be able to use action Materia Assimilating with spirit-bonded gear.<<<


Have you done Forging The Spirit yet? Because I haven't seen you mention it or acknowledge my original post, OP.
