Any of you figured out how to do the forbidden materia attachment? I had a friend try to attach a 2nd str materia to my weapon and it said he couldn't.

[Cayos]

Did you get the Forbidden Materia key item?

[Corrderio]

Dated Garnet Ring > T3 Mind Materia (+11 Mind)
Dated Garnet Ring > T3 Mind Materia (+12 Mind)

[Arximiro]

Did you get the Forbidden Materia key item?

No is that obtained through a quest as well?

[Datonare]

No is that obtained through a quest as well?

Patch notes said something about how you need to affix a certain amount of materia before you can start the forbidden materia quest.

So, it's looking like there are slots that have no possible materia to fit in them? Despite my Mythril Gig having an open slot, I have yet to see any materia that can be melded onto secondary tools at all.

[Ramsey]

Mythril Mesail became Hells' Eye Materia III Magic Accuracy+4,

Considering Mythril Mesail has nothing to do with magic, this is shapping up to be FFXI augments 2.0... lol

[miokomioko]

There's a tiny bit of consistency... I think you got Hell's Eye because it was a headpiece... and Hell's Eye can be melded into headpieces. Here's my data so far:

Dated Fishing Hat >>> Watchman's Vigil I (VIT+1 DEX+1) [legs]
Dated Electrum Earring >>> Pixie Tongue II (Silence Resist +5) [head]
Dated Electrum Earring >>> Piety II (PIE+6) [weapons/tools/body]
Dated Tarred Leather Jerkin (Red) >>> Vitality III (VIT+12) [weapons/tools/body]
Dated Tarred Voyager's Belt +1 >>> Bloodwall III/ (Def +13) [shield/body]
Dated Fingerless Toadskin Gloves (Ochre) >>> Bison Hoof II (Stun Resist +6) [legs]
Dated Tarred Leather Culottes (Red) >>> Ironman's Will IV (STR+7 VIT+7) [legs]
Dated Silver Ring +1 >>> Hell's Fist I (Attack Magic Potency +3) [staves/feet]
Dated Silver Ring >>> Mind I (MND+3) [weapons/tools/head]
Dated Amethyst Ring >>> Mind II (MND+10) [weapons/tools/head]
Dated Amethyst Ring >>> Mind IV (MND+16) [weapons/tools/head]
Dated Amethyst Ring >>> Heaven's Fist III (Attack Power +20) [weapons/hands]
Dated Velveteen Wedge Cap (Black) >>> Dexterity II (DEX+8) [weapons/tools/hands]
Dated Velveteen Tights (Black) >>> Swordsman's Cry II (STR+2 DEX+2) [legs]
Dated Linen Gaiters >>> Bloodthirst II (HP+35) [shield/body/hands/legs/feet/waist]
Dated Steel Gig >>> Gatherer's Guerdon II (Gathering +2) [tools]
Dated Reinforced Iron Mitt Gauntlets >>> Strength II (STR+10) [weapons/tools/hands]
Dated Toadskin Harness (Black) +1 >>> Vitality III (VIT+11) [weapons/tools/body]
Dated Tarred Velveteen Longsash +2 >>> Hell's Eye IV (Magic Accuracy +7) [wands/head]
Dated Horn Fishing Rod +1 >>> Gatherer's Guerdon IV (Gathering +5) [tools]
Dated Velveteen Kecks (Black) >>> Wise Man's Vision II (INT+2 PIE+2) [legs]
Dated Velveteen Shortgloves (Black) >>> Strength II (STR+7) [weapons/tools/hands]
Dated Velveteen Half Apron (Black) >>> Bloodwall I (Defense +8) [shield/body]
Vintage Coif >>> Vestryman's Faith II (MND+3 PIE+3) [legs]
Vintage Thighboots >>> Manaflight III (Magic Evasion +20) [head/feet]

Looks like you will rarely convert an item into a materia that can't be attached to that same slot. Except for secondary tools and accessories... because nothing I have seen can be attached to those.

The other oddball results were

belt > Shield/body materia
hat > legs materia
sash > M.Acc materia
cap > DEX materia
coif > legs materia

I can confirm optimal rank/class does affect spiritbonding.

Using an optimal rank Leatherworking tool with armor that was a combination of Optimal Rank only and Optimal Class and Rank, I did about 14 leatherworking leves. Before starting, all my crafting gear had zero bond.

By the end of the session, my LW tool was at about 30-40% bond, armor that was optimal class and Rank were at about 25% while armor that was optimal rank only was at about 10-15% bond.

'Favors' is all that matters, optimal does not (much). R48 Sword and R28 shield finished within 5 minutes of eachother on my R25 glad, both favored. The boots that were not favored finished way behind.

[edit] Added much, looked in log and saw the sword and shield actually finished a few fights apart and i didnt notice.

[Corrderio]

Dated Tarred Leather Trousers +1: Lifethrist Materia III (+20 HP +14 MP)

[Criosist]

Ive melded ~10 so far still not journal update/Quest given from goblin ; ;

I reallllllyyyyyy want this augmented melder

[Elona]

Does the items condition matter when converting to materia? Like should item be repaired before converting?

[Criosist]

na the condition only affects the rate of spiritbonding i believe

[Jamison]

I've only done gathering related items so far:

Dated Iron Dolabra - Gatherer's Grasp III
Dated Tarred Leather Jerkin (Red) - Manathirst II
Dated Tarred Leather Culottes (Red) - Chocobo Down IV
Dated Iron Assault Sallet - Mind IV

BTW, there is one materia that can go on secondary gathering tools... the elemental resistance ones.

[Sephiroth]

Biggest challenge seems to be creating enough gear to convert to materia. I'm not paying the 200k prices people are charging for trash gear.

[Drako]

Biggest challenge seems to be creating enough gear to convert to materia. I'm not paying the 200k prices people are charging for trash gear.

the problem is that ppl are still not gathering enough mats, so they are also very expansive, in a few weeks should be better, my server has at least 2-3x more ppl than usually.

all catalysts are going for 100k+

alos, i found that gear 1-39 will convert to materia I and II (didnt make any III's, but might be possible) and 40+ to II, III and IV.

[Criosist]

Obviously the people that have acquired the augmented materia melder are keeping it close to their chest, for some unknown reason ?

I hope it becomes public soon how many times you need to attach. I have a shit ton of Str materias I want to throw into a weapon for fun.

[Enygma55]

Yea prices are outragous atm. Gotta give it a few weeks for the honeymoon phase to wear off to buy gear at reasonable prices.
