Now that you mention it, I'm probably wrong. Yoshi mentioned it in the patch reading thing they did, looks like a transcription (search materia obv.) here.

Anyone else notice one of the quests (I forget at this point which it was) rewards you with grade -5- carbonized matter?
Bump of olde
Anyone know at what level gear can start converting into T2 / T3? Or rather, some level like how i55 green stuff can turn into T3 or T4, but for T2+3.
It can't be 21. I convert silver choker, which is ilvl 29 and it always converts to t1/t2. My wolf earrings, mythril wristlets of crafting, and mythril rings of crafting always convert to t2/t3, they are ilvl 35-37. I suspect ilvl 30 for t2.
1-29 is I (not sure if theres a minimum required for a chance to get II)
30-44 is II and chance at III
45-55 is III and chance at IV
70+ is IV
Did a few dozen Lv1 sb since some gatherers I materia are like 9k on sarg. Didn't see a single II in about 50ish conversions.
Anyone converted an i90 yet?
Probably 25 or 26.
Maybe as low as 20-21 but it would seem odd for gear to give materia that you couldn't meld for another 10 levels, then again the materia system wasn't exactly well thought out considering you can get TIII from gear 10 levels below the necessary level to meld.
For anyone interested, the T3 Sahagin daily "Sea Scraps" has a boat with like 15 guys lv48 (5 on the back of the boat, 10 on the front) that's pretty good for spiritbinding. Would be ideal to have at least 2 people + chocobos if you're SBing a full set of non-combat gear.
Ct has proven the best for sb'ing in my exp. With some sb+ stuff i70 sb's at 10-13% per run. Anything lower will sb extremely fast.
Solo option though. I can SB 2 full sets of mid 30s gear or 1 set of mid 40s within the 30 minute chocobo timer. Which probably isn't stellar.
What is the purpose of sub III-IV materia?
Crafting/gathering materia. (Multiple) IVs and IIIs aren't totally necessary.
Edit: I've had a couple pieces in this Linen/Mythril set turn into T3 materia too so there is that.
the spot at urth's gift(sp?) i went to yesterday with a couple friends we did 4 full sets in like less than 2hours. Used a spiritbond potion though, not sure exactly how much it boosted it. I made a good mil+ or so, had some luck with T4 ones
Spiritbond potions are explicitly stated in the help text as +3 Spiritbond, so it's equivalent to wearing a Meteor Survivor Ring without actually wearing one. Anecdotal evidence leads me to believe that +X spiritbond appears to simply function as +X% (so +3 would be +3%) so it's not huge, but every bit helps.
