Or is there something else I would be recommended to do?Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any advice!The Facet crafted set allows for materia melding, which will be much less expensive now that they've changed how spiritbond-based materia are acquired. Specifically, Cracked Stellacrystals are used to get grade VIII materia, and Cracked Planicrystals can be traded for grade VII materia.By far the most time efficient means of getting materia for your crafters and gatherers is by doing your weekly Custom Deliveries. Speak to the Concerned Mother, found in the west cavern in Slitherborough. However, the rewards are decent and give you a few options, so definitely pick up a journal after Tuesday’s reset to see if it’s worth working on slowly throughout the week.Some of the options available are Khloe’s Certificates of Commendation, which can be traded to her for Cracked Stellaclusters or Cracked Planiclusters.
To earn white scrips your Disciple of the Land or Hand will need to be max level (80), or else they will earn experience instead.
Be sure to do the crafting turn ins for crafting scrips and materia, and gathering turn ins for gathering scrips and materia. All the accessories and the belt for example should be ready at the same time.Crafting equipment is a little slower than gathering gear, but this materia is so valuable that you definitely want to keep a close eye on any possible extractions you can do.
These can be traded to Khloe in Idyllshire for Cracked Stellacrystals or Cracked Planicrystals, which can in turn be traded for grade VII or VIII non-combat materia of your choice.Non-combat varieties of materia are more valuable than combat materia, so if you’re used to using Certificates of Commendation for combat ones, be aware that the exchange rates are halved. In fact, crafters and gatherers are even more likely to need the extra points, and require a ton more materia to overmeld their gear. Due to the way materia transmutation works, you can actually improve your chances of getting certain materia if you do it right.If I’ve just gone and done a bunch of Treasure Hunting or max level dungeons, there’s a good chance I’ve got a lot of random grade VII combat materia sitting around in my inventory. For the most part though, the valuable materia everyone uses are grades VII and VIII, so that’s what I’m going to talk about in this post.I’ll cover the various activities that yield high level materia, which ones are easiest, most efficient, or most reliable. Just don’t bother with the materia here.This is another currency that you can use to buy some materia, but it’s pretty inefficient. Right click and select ‘Extract Materia’. I liked Quinfort's idea of an ancient underground Namazu kingdom the most lolAnother Qitari rep quest later and oh look how convenient that all the evidence happens to support the choice you picked. You can also earn materia from the treasure maps themselves after defeating the overworld enemies, regardless of whether a portal opens or not. I usually gather 3-4 times the amount anytime I have to actually pick up more, and it means that I often only have to do one Qitari quest.If you’ve got the inventory space you can hold onto the required turn-ins and that will save you a trip the next time you get that same quest. If you can hit 2480 craftsmanship, you're golden. Like a lot of crafters, I've been blindsided by the raised craftsmanship requirements and I stockpiled mostly +control materia....Pentamelded HQ Facet gear will outperform scrip gear in terms of stats, but it’s also potentially very expensive. Well I hate to break it to you, but while you might think you’re rolling in it, that ain’t nothing compared to what you’re going to need.There are three types of materia: combat (red, purple, and yellow), crafting (blue), and gathering (green). If it doesn't break the bank, buy the fish and power level. Let me know in the comments.I'm an avid gamer who loves to think about efficiency, planning, and general geekiness applied to my favourite video games. Bronze, Silver, and Gold Certificates can essentially be turned into for 1, 2, or 6 grade VIII materia respectively. At the script merchant.
