    Spiritbind tips

    So I'm new to this whole spiritbind business. When I do runs like CM/Prae, I want to try and do it with crafted accessories. Here are some things I heard about:

    • HQ gear/melded gear spiritbind faster than NQ/unmelded gear, is this true?
    • Only a minimum range of ilvl can convert to tier III materia (ilvl42+? or ilvl45?)
    • Spiritbind is based on how many mobs you kill?

    Ok, so I wanna make HQ rubellite stuff, meld random materia on it, and just work my way to some easy extra gil. Is this plan fine? Or are there more effective gears to SB that doesn't involve going out of my way to do it?

    Another thing is the militia stuff (ilvl55), will they convert to tier IV materias? Or is this pretty much only ilvl70? Hearing different things about this part.

    Are you sure this true for DoW/DoM gear? I might have to start making some militia gear if it is.

    Has this been confirmed? I tried lowbie gear on some level 40s and level 20s and the rate seemed to be the same.

    It isn't true for combat classes. Look at the description of tier 4 materia for combat classes (base level 70) vs crafting classes (base level 55)

    So you can get tier 4 crafting materia doing CM, but coil is the only way to make tier 4 combat materia(or spiritbond anything ilevel 70+).

    If this were true, it would mean that you could only get T4 materia from the 2-star crafted gear. I find that incredibly hard to believe. The description on the materia doesn't mean anything for where it comes from, it just means where you meld it onto.

    I've converted my HQ I.lv 55 Picatrix Of Casting into a Vitality Materia IV. Just one though, All my other converts, Like HQ Militia Armor gave me T3 Materia, including a second HQ Picatrix. So its a small chance. but theres still a chance.

    So much wrong in this thread lol.

    Yes, you can get T IV materia from ANY ilvl55 gear. It is a shitty low % though.

    ^

    Got a quickarm IV from an imperial operative wrist or neck (can't remember which) the other day.

    The description on the materia is the minimum ilvl a piece has to be to accept the materia, not create it.

    Confirmed too, got tier IV from the HQ ilvl 55 Bow. Nice 100K surprise.
