When? (Materia Question)

[Orbital-Dragon]

How does one go about finding people to meld your materia for you? Do you really have to spam the chat until you get a hit...or is there some kind of quick connect option in the game for this. I am on ps3 and typing is a pain...not as if I could overpower the goldsellers anyways.

Try going to the guild of whatever craft you need to meld for you. There will always be people there working away. You can click on any player and "request meld." I've heard some people find it rude if you don't send them a tell first, but I wouldn't mind at all if someone approached me that way while I was crafting. But definitely tip if you're going this route so you don't come off as a douche!

The best advice I can give you though is to get a wireless keyboard for your PS3. Communication is key in MMO's and trying to use the built in PS3 kb is utterly useless in a crunch. I know, I play on PS3 too.

Just plug in the USB keyboard (or use bluetooth one) - any cheap one you can get or already have will do, it's really not ideal to play without one ...

i play on ps3 as well, but i found me a controller with a keypad built into it, which i find helps but it did take me a couple hours or so to get use to it, and i also plan on being self sufficent if i can lol
