    I believe the "Item Level" stat on materia is the (minimum) iLV of item it can be melded to, not necessarily the iLV of items that will produce it.

    Isn't T4 materia ilvl 55 though? Since you can put T4 on the ilvl55 crafter AF. Honestly haven't converted anything that would qualify yet but the "meld item level = convert item level" seemed to hold true up to T3.

    Why would there even be a need for that system if each item has stat caps? That kinda' manages itself and allows people to completely waste their Tier-IV for STR+1 on whatever they want if they really felt like it.

    You're both correct. Tier IV Crafting/Gathering materia are iLvl 55, and DoW/M tier IV materia are iLvl 70.

    On <iLV70 items that have stat caps beyond what a T3 would provide, you have to use (at least) two melds to cap them instead of one.

    Soooo, if T4 materia is iLvl70... does that mean you can only get it from destroying iLvl70 gear?

    I thought somebody said iLvl70 gear didn't gain spiritbond...

    Non-convertible ilvl 70 gear doesn't gain SB.

    Why it doesn't gain SB is as much of a mystery as why all other gear that can't be converted does gain SB.

    Yay for converting your Vanya Silk items into Fire Materia IV.

    Alright, so back to my first question then.

    Can you get T4 materia from anything less than iLvl70+ gear? Because as mioko has pointed out, that's fucking expensive. As a person on a legacy server, I can't tell if someone out there is generating T4 materia to sell, or if it's all coming from cracked.

    That would be because the things you're killing are way too low level. Go kill some level 20 mobs with ilvl 50 gear and your spiritbond won't go up. Kill some level 40 mobs and it will go up. Kill some level 50 mobs and it will go up faster.

    It's how spiritbond <> crafting recipes work anyway.

    Took me about 200k in materials/gear to make one T4 craftsmanship materia. They're just supposed to be rare like that. /shrug

    I've done AK no less than a dozen times on SCH with Garuda book and it's still at 0% SB.

    Can you gain SB just from healing other players?

    Or: do you even DoT, bro?

    You definitely don't get Spiritbond on ilvl70 U/U items.

    My ilvl60 shit from AK is all 100% but all my Darklight/Primal weapons aren't. Ifrit weapons (ilvl60) gain spiritbond normally.

    I haven't been able to get into an AK run yet so I don't know what level the mobs are. Are they at least level 59? Because garuda weapons are ilvl 70.

    I don't think you know what you're talking about.

    You can get tier IV from ilvl55 crafted.

    I started off saying I haven't run AK yet, and thus asked the question regarding it. If it's nothing to do with that, then instead of being vague for no reason perhaps you could extrapolate as to what you think I don't understand.
